Privacy Policy j2 Global is dedicated to establishing trusting relationships with its customers, based on respect for personal identity and information. To demonstrate our commitment to Customer privacy, we have developed a Privacy Policy, a current copy of which is available at www.efaxdeveloper.com/developer/content/privacy. If we decide to change our privacy practices, we will post those changes in our Privacy Policy, and other places we deem appropriate, so our customers are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the Privacy Policy under which the information was collected. If, however, we are going to use customers' personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify customers via email. Customers will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. However, if customers have opted out of all communication with j2 Global, or deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect customer information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our Web site notifying customers of the change. In some cases where we post a notice we will also email customers, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices. 3.
