Security
Xtreme Drilling uses reasonable precautions to protect
our users' personal information and to store it securely. Sensitive
information that is transmitted to us online is encrypted and transmitted
from a secure server location. In addition, access to all customer'
information is restricted. Only employees who need the information to
perform a specific job (for example, an account or customer service
representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information.
Finally, the servers where personally identifiable information is stored
are kept in a secure environment.
Automatic Data Collection
Our web sites have features that automatically collect
information from users, to deliver content specific to users' interests
and to honor their preferences. This information assists us in creating
sites that will serve the needs of our users.
We DO NOT use "cookies", a piece of data stored
on the user's hard drive containing information about the user.
For our internal purposes, we gather date, time, browser
type, navigation history and IP address of all visitors to our site.
This information does not contain anything that can identify users personally.
We use this information for our internal security audit log, trend analysis
and system administration, and to gather broad demographic information
about our user base for aggregate use.
We may combine demographic information supplied by a subscriber
at registration with site usage data to provide general profiles, in
aggregate non-personally identifiable form, about our users and their
preferences in the content of the site and advertising. We may share
this composite information with our business affiliates to help them
better understand our services.
Shared Information
When we have co-branded, customized, private label, powered
by or sponsored products and services, or when we join with other parties
to provide specific services, we may share (provide and receive) personal
information with them. We do not share credit card information with
such third parties.
In particular, please note that information collected
in connection with online web casts may be shared with the sponsor of
the particular webcast(s)/seminar(s). These sponsors will use the information
according to their own privacy policies, and we urge participants to
read those policies and be aware of their privacy practices before registering.
Other than as set forth above, we do not share personally
identifiable information with other companies, apart from those acting
as our agents in providing our product(s)/service(s), and which agree
to use it only for that purpose and to keep the information secure and
confidential. Also, our parent, subsidiary and affiliate companies,
entities into which our company may be merged, or entities to which
any of our assets, products, sites or operations may be transferred,
will be able to use personal information. We will also disclose information
we maintain when required to do so by law, for example, in response
to a court order or a subpoena or other legal obligation, in response
to a law enforcement agency's request, or in special cases when we have
reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify,
contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury
to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our
rights or property. Users should also be aware that courts of equity,
might have the authority under certain circumstances to permit personal
information to be shared or transferred to third parties without permission.
We may share aggregate information, which is not personally
identifiable, with others. This information may include usage and demographic
data, but it will not include personal information.
Registration and Ordering
When attending our trade shows, participating in our customer-sponsored
web casts, using some of our web sites and signing up for certain selected
services (such as subscription services), users must first register.
During registration, users are required to give their contact information
(such as name, e-mail address, mailing address and phone number). We
also may collect demographic information (such as job title and purchasing
responsibilities, company information and professional certification).
For internal purposes, we use this information to communicate with users
and provide requested services, and, for our web site visitors, to provide
a more personalized experience on our sites. We use aggregate demographic
information about our audience to improve our service, for marketing
purposes and/or industry reporting purposes.
For our services that require payment (such as subscriptions
and trades), we also collect credit card information (such as account
name, number and expiration date), which is used for billing purposes
only, and is not otherwise shared.
Email Newsletters
If users wish to subscribe to our e-mail newsletters,
we ask for contact information (such as name, e-mail address and, occasionally,
demographic information). We use this information in the same manner
as we use contact information in the registration and ordering process
described above. Recipients of our newsletters can unsubscribe using
the instructions listed at the end of the e-mail newsletter.
Surveys & Contests
From time to time we invite users to provide information
via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests
is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether
to disclose requested contact information (such as name and mailing
address) and demographic information (such as zip code or job title).
In addition to other uses set forth in this policy, contact information
collected in connection with surveys and contests is used to notify
the winners and award prizes, to monitor or improve the use and satisfaction
of the site, and may be shared with sponsors of such surveys or contests.
Interactive Features
At some of our sites, we offer interactive and community
features such as discussion boards, web casts and user profiles. Note
that all personal information sent or posted via such features becomes
public information for which we are not responsible.
Communications with Xtreme Drilling
We have features where users can submit information to
us (such as our feedback forms). Requests for service, support or information
may be forwarded as needed to best respond to a specific request. We
may retain e-mails and other information sent to us for our internal
administrative purposes, and to help us to serve customers better.
Updates & Special Offers
In order to best serve our customers, we may send updates
that contain important information about our sites and services. For
example, we send new members a welcoming message, and verify password
and username for our password-protected sites. We may also communicate
with a user to provide requested services and for account-related issues
via e-mail, phone or regular mail.
We offer our users the option to receive information about
our company, related products, services and special deals. Users can
choose not to receive these communications, as set forth in our Permission
section below.
Permission
Our users are given the opportunity to choose whether
to receive information from our affiliates and us not directly related
to the registered services. Instructions for how to exercise this choice
are contained in e-mails sent by us, and on our product web sites. Please
note that we will endeavor to implement requests within a reasonable
time, although for a time users may continue to receive mailings, etc.,
transmitted based on information released prior to the implementation
of the request. Users will continue to receive information directly
related to their registered services, so they always are kept informed.
Notification of Changes
If we change our privacy policy, we will post those changes
on this page so our users are aware of what information we collect,
how we use it and under which circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
Users should check this policy frequently to keep abreast of any changes.

practices of this site or any dealings with Xtreme Drilling LLC, contact
