The disclosure of who is collecting and who owns the data is a user's first method of identifying how to resolve his or her complaints.

Information Collection and Use (Company X) is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement.

Log Files We use IP addresses to administer the site, track user movement and gather demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to identifiable information.

As most website business models include the sharing of services and customer information, disclosure of these relationships is a must.

Sharing We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.

Links This website contains links to other sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. Read the privacy statements of each website that collects identifiable information.

The privacy statement should include what security mechanisms are in place both online and offline to protect the data collected.


Security This website takes every precaution to protect users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, their information is protected both online and offline. When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or Social Security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry-SSL. While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also protect user information offline.

Supplementation of Information To properly fulfill our obligation to customers, we supplement the information we receive with information from third-party sources. For example, to determine if our customers qualify for one of our credit cards, we use their name and Social Security numbers to request credit reports. Once we do that, this document is destroyed.

Users need reasonable access to correct any inaccuracies in their profile information. Many companies will provide a contact name/e-mail/phone number.

Correction/Updating Personal Information If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as a ZIP code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal data.

This gives the user the ability to prevent the sharing, renting or dissemination of their personal information with third parties.
