2. Following successful authentication, user freely accesses and views information on any Clickshare-enabled Content Provider.
3. Authentication queries and replies between the Content Provider's server and the Clickshare "back end" Token Validation and Logging Server are private-key encrypted. Micro-transaction settlement data, and advertiser third-party log validation (tracked by individual users) is also passed in this fashion. No credit-card information is passed across this link at any time.
4. Royalties for content sales due to the copyright-owning Content Provider and "referral commissions" due to the User's home-base Service Provider are settled at least monthly. Clickshare Service Corp., or a licensed Clickshare subnet operator, retains a transaction fee on each sale.
5. An off-net database of completed micro-transactions and usage tracking is assembled in real time by the Clickshare backend and passed to Service Providers to be used to supply users with a report of their account once every 24 hours upon request. It is also used to assemble and supply billing and payment information for Service Providers and Content Providers (or their designee) and advertising third-party tracking data. This database NEVER contains names or other personal information of users. This information is held ONLY by the user's chosen Service Provider, and by any Content Providers to which the user releases this information.
