Hi
Chatters S.R.L may also
obtain information about you
through the monitoring or
recording of your activities
while you are using the
Hichatter program or
services. You have consented
to such monitoring or
recording by agreeing to the
provisions of the End User
License Agreement when you
installed or used the
program. Any personal
information obtained through
such monitoring or recording
will be treated in the same
manner as all other
information referenced in
this Privacy Statement. Such
monitoring or recording,
however, will only take
place under the
circumstances set forth
below.
Hichatter S.R.L wants you to
enjoy Hichatter with the
minimum of intrusions.
Unfortunately, there are
people who use internet chat
room services like Hichatter
to harass other users or
engage in criminal activity.
Thus, in the course of
administering Hichatter, we
may visit and monitor
activity in a chat room
without the knowledge of the
room owner or room
participants in order to
determine whether any rules
or polices of Hichatter are
being violated, or whether
any illegal activity is
taking place. However, we do
not regularly monitor chat
rooms. We may monitor a chat
room under the following
circumstances:
1. We
are requested to do so by a
room owner or room admin; or
2. We
have reason to believe that
illegal activity, or
activity that violates
Hichatter rules and
policies, is taking place in
the room.
When we
decide to monitor a room, we
will do so only as long as
necessary to determine
whether any illegal or
improper activity is taking
place. We may, but we are
not obligated to, notify the
room owner, room admins, or
room participants of our
presence in the room.
Use
of Personal Information
Hichatter collects and uses
your personal information to
operate Hichatter and
deliver the services you
have requested. These
services may include the
display of customized
content and advertising
based upon the information
we have collected. In order
to provide services, your
information may be accessed
and used by Hichatter to
provide such services. Any
use of such information
within Hichatter will remain
subject to the limitations
of this privacy statement.
