information while at the same time giving you the opportunity to
obtain interesting and useful information, products and services.
This privacy policy describes how we treat information received
about you when you visit our Web site and register on-line for Net2Phone
products or services. This privacy policy only applies to data collected
on-line by Net2Phone. Please read our privacy policy carefully.
By using this Web site and submitting any personal information,
you consent to the collection and use of this information by Net2Phone,
Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliates consistent with this privacy
policy. Also, please be aware that Net2Phone may change this Privacy
Policy from time to time. If we do, we will prominently post any

identifiable information in a manner materially different from that
stated at the time of collection we will notify users by posting
a notice on our Web site for 30 days, so be sure to check back here
periodically for any changes.
This Statement only pertains to our online collection of data from
our web properties and does not apply to other means of collecting
data.
Information - How We Get It
When you register for our products or services, you will be providing
personal information to Net2Phone such as your name, phone number,
address, e-mail and other information by which you can be personally
identified. You will also be asked to provide demographic information
such as zip code and age. If you purchase products or services on
our site, you will be asked for financial information such as account
or credit card numbers. We do not knowingly collect personal information
from children under 13.
We also collect usage information from you when you visit us. Web
site usage information is not typically personally identifiable
information. It describes how our Web site is used and navigated,
including the number and frequency of visitors to each Web page
and the length of their stay. Web site usage information also includes
the domain names of browsers and IP addresses that visit our Web
site, time of day the Web site was visited and other non-personally
identifiable information.
Throughout the web site are forms which enable prospective customers,
partners, and distributors to contact us to learn more about our
products and services. The information we collect on these forms
is only used to facilitate our business relationship with you. It
is not used for any other purpose.
Net2Phone makes use of browser cookies. We use cookies to enhance
your Web viewing experience. A cookie is a small identifier, similar
to a license plate and consists of data sent by a Web server to
a Web browser that can later be read by that server. Cookies are
used to personalize your viewing experience. They are also used
to target advertising and marketing offers to your individual interests
and to avoid showing you duplicate ads. Cookies cannot be used to
get data from your hard drive, your e-mail or any other personal
data about you. You have the ability to set your Internet Preferences
to notify you whenever you receive a cookie. You may then accept
or decline any of our cookies. Should you decide to decline a cookie,
this may impact the performance of our Web site.
Net2Phone makes use of clear GIFs. Clear GIFs are small (1 pixel
x 1 pixel) graphics which are included on some of our web site pages
and are similar in function to cookies and are often used in conjunction
with cookies. They are used to track the online movements of visitors
to and within our web site. We do not tie the information gathered
by clear GIFs to your personally identifiable information, except
when they are placed in our HTML-based e-mails. When used in HTML-based
e-mails, clear GIFs allow us to know which e-mails have been opened
by the recipients.
Information - How We Use It
Net2Phone believes that knowing more about you will enable us to
serve you better. It permits us to personalize the content and services
we offer to you. It also permits us to target advertising for products
and services to your interests and tastes. Net2Phone uses demographic
and Web site usage information to improve the products and services
we offer to you. One of the many services Net2Phone can offer to
you when you register for our products or services is notification
concerning new products and services available from third party
marketing partners. These notices and offers will be targeted to
your individual preferences and tastes based on the information
collected. Unless you have opted-out of receiving third party offers
during registration, we reserve the right to share your personal
information with third parties and you may receive e-mails concerning
third party offers. As a publicly traded company, we are required
to file numerous reports with different administrative bodies. As
such, Net2Phone may provide aggregate statistics about customers,
sales and traffic patterns. None of these reports or statistics
will include personally identifiable information. However, Net2Phone
reserves the right to use personally identifiable information to
investigate and help prevent potentially unlawful activity that
threatens either Net2Phone or any company affiliated with Net2Phone.
Moreover, upon the appropriate request of a government agency, law
enforcement, court or as otherwise required by law, Net2Phone may
disclose personally identifiable information.
Additional Data Collection

that you see on the Net2Phone Web site. If you would like to know
more about the information gathering practices and "opt-out"
procedures of our third party ad servers, please click

policies as they may follow different procedures than our Web site.
Additionally, in order to provide you with certain features of our
service, we provide some of your personal information to others.
This information is provided under the terms of strict confidentiality
agreements and your information will not be shared, sold or rented
by these other parties without your permission.

When you refer a friend to Net2Phone, we will send an e-mail to
your friend's e-mail address inviting them to try Net2Phone.
Surveys & Sweepstakes
From time to time our site requests information from users via surveys
or sweepstakes. Participation in these surveys or sweepstakes is
completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or
not to disclose this information. Information requested may include
contact information (like name and shipping address) and demographic
information (such as zip code and age). Contact information will
be used to notify sweepstakes winners and award prizes and may be
shared with third party sponsors of the sweepstakes. It will be
clear at the point of collection who is collecting the information
and whose privacy statement governs. Survey information will be
used for purposes of monitoring or improving your use and satisfaction
of this site.
Affiliate Programs
When a user or company signs up to be a Net2Phone affiliate, they
do so through Linkshare. Linkshare shares personally identifiable
information about affiliates with Net2Phone. This information is
not sold, shared or rented to any third party, and is used internally
only to manage relationships with affiliates.

e-mails from Net2Phone, please follow the instructions contained
in the e-mail to unsubscribe from receiving future e-mails from
Net2Phone.

identifiable information is being mishandled in light of this Privacy
Policy, please immediately notify Net2Phone by e-mail at privacy@net2phone.com

security and safety of all your transactions with Net2Phone. To
prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy,
and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place
safeguards to secure the information we collect online. Our servers
