You will find a link to this notice at the bottom of our homepage and on every page within the Website. By visiting http://www.wellstream.com, you agree to and accept the practices and our use of your nonpublic personal information described in this Privacy Policy, and all applicable laws. The terms in this Privacy Policy are subject to change without notice. By using the Website, you expressly consent to our collection, use, storage and disclosure of your information and data as described in this Privacy Policy.

Kinds of Information Collected by Us

"Nonpublic personal information" is the nonpublic, personally identifying information about you that is obtained by us in connection with providing you information on some of our services. In general, you can visit our Website without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our Web servers may collect anonymous, aggregated information such as when you visited the Website, how long you stayed, where you went while you were here and if you linked here from another website. Wellstream aggregates such information to measure the use of our Website and to improve its content. We may also collect certain information about you, such as your IP (Internet Protocol) addresses, domain name, links you clicked on to reach the Website, and information regarding your operating system and browser when you browse the Website.

We collect nonpublic personal information from you, only if you provide the information to us voluntarily. The Website provides several opportunities for users to provide personal information about themselves to help us provide them with better service. For example, we collect information about you when you submit a resume in response to a job posting, or when you send us a request for more information about information listed on the Website. We also collect information about you when you send an e-mail to our webmaster, so that we may respond to your message. We collect no personally identifying information about you except when you specifically and knowingly provide it.

How We Use and Disclose Your Information

We may disclose aggregated information without your permission. We will not disclose any nonpublic personal information about our current or former users to anyone, except as permitted or required by law, or as described below. We will not sell your information to any other company. You agree that Company may use the information that you supply about yourself for promotional or marketing purposes and that we may disclose such information to our affiliates and to nonaffiliated third-parties that perform services on our behalf. Any information may be transferred to countries which do not have as stringent protection of data as is required in the UK.

We sometimes engage third parties, such as contractors, to provide certain operational services to us or on our behalf. We may share your information with those third parties on a “need to know” basis. In addition, we may enter into certain marketing relationships with third parties to provide you with a better service. We may share some of your nonpublic personal information with those parties. You are under no obligation, however, to respond to any requests from those third parties.

How You Can “Opt-out”, Access, Update, or Delete Your Information

You can see, review and change your information by sending a request to our webmaster at webmaster@wellstream.com. At any time, you may ask us to delete your information by sending us an email at webmaster@wellstream.com. Although, we will make every effort to delete your information from our databases, and inform third-parties to whom we have provided a link on the Website to do the same, we may need to retain your information in our archives and records in order to comply with law, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with investigations, enforce our Online Terms and Conditions and other policies, and take other actions otherwise permitted by law.

How We Protect Your Information

We have procedures in place that limit access to nonpublic personal information to personnel who need to know such information to provide products and services to you. We will maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the confidentiality of your nonpublic personal information. Such precautions, however, do not guarantee the absolute safety of your data, and Company makes no guarantees, warranties or representations that your information is protected from viruses and other security attacks. Further, while Company follows appropriate procedures to ensure that third parties will keep your information secure, Company does not make any guarantees with respect to the actions or policies of such third parties.
