In connection with your Merchant Account transaction, our Company may obtain information about you as described in this notice. While information is the cornerstone of our ability to provide superior service, our most important asset is our customer's trust. Keeping customer information secure, and using it only as our customers would want us to, is a top priority for all of us. Here then, is our promise to our customers.
1. We Will safeguard, according to strict standards of security and confidentiality, any information our customers share with us.
2. We will limit the collection and use of customer information to the minimum that is required to deliver superior service to our customers. This includes advising our customers about our products, services and other opportunities, and to administer business.
3. We will permit only authorized employees, who are trained in the proper handling of customer information, to have access to that information. Employees who violate our Privacy Promise will be subject to our normal disciplinary process.
4. We will not reveal customer information to any external organization unless we have previously informed the customer in disclosures or agreements that have been authorized by the customer, which is required by law.
5. We will always maintain control over the confidentiality of our customer's information. We may, however, facilitate relevant offers from reputable companies. These companies are not permitted to retain any customer information unless the customer has specifically expressed interest in their products or services.
6. Whenever we hire other organizations to provide support services, we will require them to conform to our policy standards and allow us to audit them for compliance.
7. We will not use or share - internally or externally - personal identifiable information for any purpose other than underwriting or administration of a customer's policy, claim or account, or as disclosed when information is collected, or to which the customer consents.
8. When you send us an e-mail to comment on our products or services or to ask a question, we learn your exact e-mail address and any personal information about you that you elect to provide in the e-mail. The information is used only to respond to your communication, but will be stored, along with our reply, in case further communication is necessary or appropriate. Your e-mail address will not be used to send you unsolicited messages or information about us, nor will it be sold to anyone else for such use. If your e-mail requested information or other services offered through our site, your e-mail address will be used to provide the requested information or service until it is no longer available or until you affirmatively ask us to stop providing the product or service. We will not use your address to send you unsolicited information, unless it is related to the information or service you requested.
9. We will attempt to keep customer files complete, up to date, and accurate. We will tell our customers how and where to conveniently access their account information (except where prohibited by law), and how to notify us about errors which we will promptly correct.
We will continuously assess ourselves to ensure that our customer privacy policy is respected. We will conduct our business in a manner that fulfills our promise in the many states that we do business.
From time to time, we may change this Privacy Policy. The effective date of this policy, as stated below, indicates the last time this policy was revised or materially changed. Checking the effective date below allows you to determine whether there have been changes since the last time you reviewed the policy.
