We welcome you as a
customer or a
visitor to our web
site. Keeping your
non-public personal
information secure
and confidential is
our main priority.
Please take a moment
to read the Customer
Privacy Policy
carefully to learn
how we process and
handle your
non-public personal
information.
This policy may
change periodically.
Please check this
policy each time you
use our web site so
that you our
customer will have
the most current
information
concerning the
handling and
processing of your
non-public personal
information in our
endeavor to clear
your identity theft
and good name.
Why we collect
non-public personal
information
As a customer or as
a user of our web
site, we want you to
know that we will
only collect your
non-public personal
information for the
following reasons:
-
To enroll you as
a customer;
-
To recover your
case of identity
theft;
-
Give you, a
customer or as a
user of our web
site, clear
notice when we
are requesting
information from
you, the types
of information
we request from
you, the general
purposes for
which that
information will
be used or
disclosed, the
agencies to whom
we provide the
information;
-
Offer you the
ability to opt
out of such
uses;
-
Maintain
accurate records
and provide you
access to your
personally
identifiable
information;
-
Use safe and
secure systems,
physical and
electronic, to
safeguard your
non-public
personal
information.
In each of these
circumstances, we
will only collect
and use the minimum
information needed
to accomplish the
stated purpose, and
only with your full
knowledge and
consent. In many of
these circumstances,
our principal role
is actually to
facilitate a
relationship in
which you provide
your information
directly to a third
party — for
instance, to place a
fraud alert with a
credit reporting
agency or to file a
police report. In
such cases, we may
not need to collect
your information at
all.
How
we collect
non-public personal
information
When you visit our
web site, you are
able to do so
anonymously. We
don't collect
non-public personal
information when you
browse — not even
your email address.
We do collect
general Internet
data, such as how
often our web page
was visited. This
information does not
identify you
personally. We use
it only to analyze
traffic patterns on
our web site in
order to make our
site more useful to
our visitors.
Our
web site contains
links to other
sites.
-
Except for our
partners, we do
not share your
non-public
personal
information with
those web sites
and are not
responsible for
their privacy
practices, which
may differ from
ours in
significant
ways. We
encourage you to
learn about the
privacy policies
of those web
sites and the
companies that
operate them.
-
Our web site
contains links
to other sites.
We do not use
cookie
technology on
the our web
site. However,
web sites to
which we link
may use cookie
technology to
gather and store
data about their
visitors.
Cookies contain
a small amount
of information,
possibly
including
non-public
personal
information that
allows a web
server to
recognize you
whenever you
visit. Again, we
encourage you to
familiarize
yourself with
the privacy and
information
collection
practices of any
web site you
visit.
-
We also receive
information from
you online when
you send us
email,
applications and
other forms, or
when you
register at our
web sites. We
may also collect
information
about your
transactions
with us or with
our direct
partners, such
as what products
and services you
ordered. In each
of these
circumstances,
as mentioned
above, we will
only collect and
use the minimum
information
needed to
accomplish the
stated purpose,
and only with
your full
knowledge and
consent. We will
never share this
information with
any third party
without your
express
permission.
-
If circumstances
arise in which
we need to use
your non-public
personal
information
differently from
what is stated
at the time of
collection, we
will try to
contact you
using the most
recent
information we
have. If you
have not given
us permission to
communicate with
you, you will
not be
contacted, nor
will we use your
personal
information in a
new manner.
-

not intended for
the use of
children,
defined as
individuals
under the age of

knowingly
solicit personal
information from
children or send
them requests
for non-public
personal
information.
When
and to whom we
disclose non-public
personal information
-

personal
information to

It is not our

non-public
personal
information to

-
As mentioned
above, there are
circumstances in
which with your
express
permission we
may provide
non-public
personal
information to
third parties
involved in the
resolution
process of
recovering your
identity theft.
Such information
will be provided
directly by us
on your behalf
to the parties

At times
we may
be
required
by law
or legal

We will
comply
with any
such law
or legal
process.

How
we protect your
non-public personal
information
-
We use highly
secure physical,
electronic, and
managerial
procedures to

ever be
disclosed by us
to any third
party or
affiliate
without your
express
permission.

Only authorized
our employees

partners will
have access to
the data that
you provide to
us, and that

basis.

In cases of
identity theft
crisis
