Except for Easytalk-identified information, products or services, all information, products and services offered through the Service or on the Internet generally are offered by third parties that are not affiliated with Easytalk.

Exhibit A

Operating Policies

Your participation in on-line communications occurs in real time and is not edited, censored, or otherwise controlled by Easytalk. Easytalk cannot and does not screen content provided by users of the Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Easytalk reserves the right to monitor content on the Service and to remove content which Easytalk, in its sole discretion, determines to be harmful, offensive, or otherwise in violation of these Operating Policies. In order to maintain an informative and valuable service that meets the needs of the users of the Service and avoids the harm that can result from disseminating statements that are false, malicious, violate the rights of others, or otherwise harmful, it is necessary to establish the following rules to protect against abuse:

  • i. Unless you are participating in an area of the Service that requires or encourages anonymity, use your real name in online communications.
  • ii. You may not post or transmit any message which is libelous, defamatory or which discloses private or personal matters concerning any person. You may not post or transmit any message, data, image or program which is indecent, obscene or pornographic.
  • iii. You may not post or transmit any message, data, image or program that would violate the property rights of others, including unauthorized copyrighted text, images or programs, trade secrets or other confidential proprietary information, and trademarks or service marks used in an infringing fashion.
  • iv. You may not interfere with other users use of the Service.
  • v. You may not use any robot, spider, or other automatic device or process to monitor or copy our web pages or any portion of the content contained herein without our express written permission.
  • vi. You may not post or transmit any file which contains viruses, worms, "Trojan horses" or any other contaminating or destructive features.
  • vii. You may not post or transmit any message which is harmful, threatening, abusive or hateful. It is not the Service's intent to discourage you from taking controversial positions or expressing vigorously what may be unpopular views; however, Easytalk reserves the right to take such action as it deems appropriate in cases where the Service is used to disseminate statements which are deeply and widely offensive and/or harmful.
  • viii. You may not post or transmit charity requests, petitions for signatures, chain letters or letters relating to pyramid schemes. You may not post or transmit any advertising, promotional materials or any other solicitation of other users of the Service for goods or services except in those areas (e.g., a classified bulletin board) that are designated for such purpose.
  • ix. You may not post or list articles which are off-topic according to the description of the group or list or send unsolicited mass emailings to 10 people or more if such e-mail could reasonably be expected to provoke complaints from its recipients.
  • x. You may not use the facilities and capabilities of the Service to conduct any activity or solicit the performance of any illegal activity or other activity which infringes the rights of others.

Easytalk recognizes that the trust of our customers and Web visitors requires vigilant, responsible privacy protections.

  • We respect and protect the privacy of our customers. As a provider of Sitris and related services and products we recognize that we must maintain the confidentiality of every customer's telephone calling and other account information.
  • We also respect and protect the privacy of our Web visitors. The expansion of online services and changing technologies continues to create unique privacy concerns and we recognize the need to maintain the confidentiality of information that Web visitors reasonably expect to remain private.
  • Our customers and web visitors expect, deserve and receive nothing less than our fullest commitment to their privacy. We also have an obligation to assist law enforcement and other government agencies responsible for protecting the public welfare, whether it be an individual or the security interests of the entire nation. If and when we are asked to help, we do so strictly within the law and under the most stringent conditions.

THE SCOPE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY

  • This privacy policy addresses the privacy of Easytalk retail customers and Web visitors. Where applicable, Easytalk will comply with the laws of other countries that contain mandatory requirements that differ from this policy. In selected jurisdictions outside the Republic of Ireland , Easytalk may adopt a separate privacy policy to reflect the requirements of applicable local laws.
  • This policy identifies the types of data and information we collect, how we use it, how you can control its use and the steps we take to protect it. The primary focus of this policy is non-public information that identifies or that is linked to the identity of a customer or Web visitor ("personal identifying information").
  • In this policy, the Easytalk means Easytalk Limited. and its subsidiary and affiliated entities.
  • This policy does not apply where companies where Easytalk have no interest ("third parties") have licensed the Easytalk brand for use with their own products or services.
  • When you sign up for certain Easytalk-offered services, you may agree to additional privacy policies that address service-specific privacy practices.

Personal identifying information we collect and use

  • We collect personal identifying information regarding our customers, including information customers give us, information collected as a result of the customer’s relationship with us and information we obtain from other sources. Examples include name; address; e-mail address; telephone number; billing, payment, usage, credit and transaction information (including credit card numbers, account numbers and/or social security number); and demographic information.
  • We also collect personal identifying information that our Web visitors choose to provide to us (e.g., name, address, telephone number, e-mail address) when registering on our Web sites; ordering Easytalk-offered products or services; sending us e-mail; responding to our surveys; entering contests or sweepstakes; or in connection with online ordering or billing functions.
  • We use the personal identifying information of a customer to provide, confirm, change, bill, monitor and resolve problems with the quality of Easytalk-offered products and services. We also use the personal identifying information of a customer or Web visitor to develop, market and sell our products and services.
  • We may aggregate the personal identifying information of different customers or Web visitors to produce data about a group or category of services, customers or Web visitors. For example, we might use aggregate data about the types of services our customers have generally purchased at the same time in order to develop attractive bundled service offerings. Such aggregate data, however, will not reflect any personal identifying information of any specific customer or Web visitor.

Personal identifying information we disclose to third parties

  • We do not provide personal identifying information to third parties for the marketing of their products and services without your consent.
  • We may provide personal identifying information to third parties where required to provide certain Easytalk-offered products and services.
  • We may also provide personal identifying information to third parties who perform functions or services on our behalf. Examples include shipping companies who deliver Easytalk products; Easytalk-authorized agents who market and sell Easytalk-offered products and services on our behalf; and Web site development or advertising companies, who provide Web design, analysis and advertising services.
  • When we provide such personal identifying information to third parties to perform such functions or services on our behalf, we require that they protect personal identifying information consistent with this policy and do not allow them to use such information for other purposes.
  • We may, where permitted or required by law, provide personal identifying information to third parties (including credit bureaus or collection agencies) without your consent:
    • To obtain payment for Easytalk-offered products and services, enforce or apply our customer agreements, and/or protect our rights or property.
    • To comply with court orders, subpoenas, or other legal or regulatory requirements.
    • To prevent unlawful use of communications or other services.
    • To notify a responsible governmental entity if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires or justifies disclosure without delay.
  • A customer’s name and telephone number may also be transmitted and displayed on a Caller ID device unless the customer has elected to block such information.

WHAT ONLINE INFORMATION WE COLLECT, HOW WE USE IT AND HOW YOU CAN CONTROL ITS USE

Web usage information we collect and use

  • When Web visitors access our Web sites we automatically receive certain "Web usage" information. For example, our Web servers automatically collect the visitor's IP address, the visitor's Web browser and operating system types, and the identity of the Web page from which the visitor's browser entered our Web site. In addition, primarily through the use of c or Web Beacons, we may collect other Web usage information, such as the Web pages the browser visits on our Web sites, the amount of time spent on such Web pages and whether the browser re-visits our Web sites/pages.
  • We use Web usage information to facilitate and enable the functioning of our Web sites and to expand and improve our Web visitors' online experience. We may also aggregate such Web usage information with other visitors' Web usage information to assess trends and better design, monitor and otherwise improve our Web sites, as well as to focus our marketing efforts.
  • In some cases we may combine Web usage information related to your access to our Web sites with personal identifying information. We use the combined information to provide our customers and Web visitors with a better online experience by providing customized features and services and to market and provide advertising about goods and services that may be of particular interest. Once combined, the resulting data is protected as personal identifying information as described in this policy.

How we use cookies, Web beacons, etc.

  • Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that a Web server sends to your computer when you visit a Web site. Cookies can contain a variety of information, such as a simple count of how often you visit a Web site or information that allows us to customize our Web site for your use. Web beacons (also known as "clear gifs" or "one-pixel gifs") are small graphic images on a Web page or in an e-mail that allow us to monitor the activity on our Web sites or to make cookies more effective.
  • We, or a third party acting on our behalf, may use "cookies" to tailor and improve the content we deliver to our Web visitors, to improve our Web sites by assessing which areas, features, and products are most popular, and to personalize our Web sites and make recommendations based on information, including product choices, a particular visitor has previously provided. For example, we may use a cookie to identify your state so we do not ask you to enter it more than once. We also use cookies to store user preferences, complete online order activity and keep track of transactions.
  • We, or a third party acting on our behalf, may use Web beacons in certain of our Web pages and e-mails to gauge the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and e-mail correspondence. For example, we may use Web beacons in our HTML-based e-mails to let us know which e-mails have been opened by the recipients.
  • You can configure your Web browser to alert you when a Web site is attempting to send a cookie to your computer and allow you to accept or refuse the cookie. You can also set your browser to disable the capacity to receive cookies or you can delete cookies previously accepted. Some Easytalk Web pages (and other Web pages) may not work correctly if you have cookies disabled.
  • We may use advertising companies to deliver ads for Easytalk-offered services and products on our Web sites or on third party Web sites. These Internet ads are often called "banner ads" and may contain third-party cookies or Web beacons that allow tracking of visitors' responses to our advertisements. Although these third parties may receive anonymous Web usage information about ad viewing on such Web sites, we prohibit them from using this information for any purpose other than to assist us in measuring the effectiveness of our ads.
  • We may also accept third party advertisements on our Web sites. You should refer to the privacy policy of these advertisers for information regarding their use of cookies and collection of information.

Our e-mail marketing practices

We periodically send customers news and updates via e-mail regarding Easytalk-offered services, products, and special promotions. Every marketing e-mail we send contains instructions and an opt-out link that will allow you to stop additional Easytalk marketing e-mails based on line of business.

We do not provide your e-mail address to third parties for the marketing of third-party products without your consent.

Our policy on online access by children

Easytalk Web sites are not designed to attract children under the age of 13. We do not target children for the collection of information online and do not knowingly collect personal identifying information from anyone under the age of 18.

Ordering online products and services from Easytalk is limited to adults (age 18 or over or as otherwise legally defined).

Linking to other sites

Our Web sites may provide links to third party sites. We are not responsible for the privacy, security or content of such sites. If you are asked to provide information on one of these Web sites, we encourage you carefully to review their privacy policy before sharing your information.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

  • All Easytalk employees are subject to the Easytalk Code of Business Conduct and certain state-mandated codes of conduct. The Easytalk Code requires all our employees to follow every law, rule, regulation, court and/or commission order that applies to our business at all times. In addition, the Code specifically requires compliance with legal requirements and company policies related to the privacy of communications and the security and privacy of customer records. Employees who fail to meet any of the standards embodied in the Code of Business Conduct may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.
  • We employ security measures designed to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data, including personal identifying information. We have implemented technology and security features and strict policy guidelines to safeguard the privacy of your personal identifying information, and we will continue to enhance our security procedures as new technology becomes available. For example:
    • We maintain and protect the security of our servers and we typically require user names and passwords to access sensitive data.
    • We use industry standard encryption methods to protect your data transmission unless you authorize unencrypted transmission.
    • We limit access to personal identifying information to those employees, contractors, and agents who need access to such information to operate, develop, or improve our services and products.
  • If we determine that a security breach has occurred and that such breach creates a risk of identity theft or service disruption, we will make reasonable attempts to notify you.

PRIVACY POLICY UPDATES

  • This privacy policy supersedes and replaces all previously posted privacy policies.
  • We want you to be aware of the information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We reserve the right to update this privacy policy to reflect any changes we make in order to continue to serve the best interests of our customers and Web visitors and will timely post those changes. If we make a material change to this privacy policy, we will post a prominent notice on our Web sites.
  • If we intend, however, to use personal identifying information in a manner materially different from that stated at the time of collection, we will attempt to notify you at least 30 days in advance using an address or e-mail address, if you have provided one, and by posting a prominent notice on our Web sites, and you will be given a choice as to whether or not we use your information in this different manner.
  • Please periodically check our Web sites for changes to this privacy policy.
