3. Information We Collect And How We Use It
This website collects certain information from and about its

three ways: directly from our Web Server logs, the user, and with
Cookies.
Web Server Logs.
When you visit our Website, we may track information to administer the
site and analyze its usage. Examples of information we may track
include:
• Your Internet protocol address.
• The kind of browser or computer you use.
• Number of links you click within the site.

Use of Cookies
This website may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user
experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard
disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or
deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you,
and can only be read by a Web Server in the domain that issued the
cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience
feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page,
or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your
specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the
process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by
providing and saving your preferences and login information as well as
providing personalized functionality.
This website reserves the right to share aggregated site
statistics
with partner companies, but does not allow other companies to place
cookies on our website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer
value (such as merging into this website a site that relies on
third-party cookies).
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your
browser settings then be aware that this may disable some of the
functionality on our Website.
Personal Information Users
Visitors to our website can register to purchase services. When you
register, we will request some personal information such as name,
address, email, telephone number or facsimile number, account number
and other relevant information. If you are purchasing a service, we
will request financial information. Any financial information we
collect is used only to bill you for the services you purchased. If you
purchase by credit card, this information may be forwarded to your
credit card provider. If you are applying for a loan the financial
information that we collect may be transmitted to third parties to
assess creditworthiness. For other types of registrations, we will ask
for the relevant information. You may also be asked to disclose
personal information to us so that we can provide assistance and
information to you. For example, such data may be warranted in order to
provide online technical support and troubleshooting.
We will not disclose personally identifiable information we collect
from you to third parties without your permission except to the extent
necessary including:
To fulfill your service requests for services,
To protect ourselves from liability,
To respond to legal process or comply with law, or
In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the
company.
4. Use Of Web Beacons Or Gif Files
Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web
beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs –
that allow this website to count users who have visited those
pages
and to deliver co-branded services. This website may include Web
beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to
determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party service
providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising
campaigns or email communications. These Web beacons may be used by
these service providers to place a persistent cookie on your computer.
This allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time
you visit certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in
relation to those page views, which in turn enables us and our service
providers to learn which advertisements and emails bring you to our
website and how you use the site. This website prohibits Web
beacons from being used to collect or access your personal information.
5. Accessing Web Account Information
We will provide you with the means to ensure that personally
identifiable information in your web account file is correct and
current. You may review this information by contacting us by sending an
email to us.
6. Identity Theft / Fraud
Identity Theft occurs when someone uses sensitive information, called
Personally Identifiable Information (or PII) of another person without
their permission to commit fraud or other crimes, such as Account
Takeover or Application Fraud. [Account Takeover is when an individual
acquires another person's existing credit account information and
purchases products and services at the victim's expense. Application
Fraud is when an individual uses another's Social Security Number or
other Personally Identifiable Information to open new credit accounts
in the victim's name.]
If you believe you are a victim of Identity Theft, contact the three
major credit bureaus to place a fraud alert message on your credit
file. When you place a fraud alert on your file, the credit reporting
agencies will send you a copy of your credit report at no charge.
Experian (1-888-397-3742)
Equifax (1-800-525-6285)
TransUnion (1-800-680-7289)
Carefully review your credit reports for: accounts you did not open,
inquiries from creditors you did not initiate, and for personal
information (such as home address and social security number) that is
not accurate. If you see anything you do not understand or any accounts
you did not open, call the credit reporting agency at the telephone
number on the report.

Commission's web site to receive further information and insights about
how to protect your identity from identity thieves.
