eCredit.com, Inc. Privacy Policy
Overview
Your privacy is important to us. To better
protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our online information
practices and the choices you can make about the way the information obtained
through this website is collected and used.
Our website contains links to other websites operated by third parties. eCredit is not responsible for the online information
practices or policies of such third party websites and this Notice does not
apply to those websites.
Application of This Notice
This Notice applies only to the information collected by eCredit from the users of this website. It does not apply to information collected by eCredit in any other way, including offline.
The Information We Collect
Our website is not set up to automatically collect personally identifiable
information from each visitor to our website. It does recognize the home server
of visitors, but not email addresses. For example, we can tell which Internet
Service Provider our visitors use, but not the names, addresses or other
information about our visitors that would allow us to identify the particular
visitors to our website. This information is used only for internal purposes by
our technical support staff.
Our website does track certain information about the visits to our website. For
example, we compile statistics that show the numbers and frequency of visitors
to our website and its individual pages. These aggregated statistics are used
internally to improve our website and for product development and marketing
purposes generally. Those aggregated statistics may also be provided to
advertisers and other third parties, but again, the statistics contain no
personal information and cannot be used to gather such information.
In a few areas on our website, we ask you to provide information that will
enable us to verify whether you are entitled to access and use certain
information, materials and services available from our website, or to enable us
to enhance your site visit, to assist you with customer service or technical
support issues, or to follow up with you after your visit, or to otherwise
support your customer relationship with eCredit. It is completely optional for
you to participate. However, failure to participate may mean that you cannot
access and use certain information, materials and services.
In each of the instances above, we typically ask for your name, email address, phone number, address, product preference information, UserID code and password, as well as other similar personal information that is needed to register or subscribe you to services or offers. On occasion, we may ask for additional information to enable us to provide you with access to and use of certain information, materials and services. In the case of newsletters or mailing lists, you will be able to "unsubscribe" to these mailings at any time.
How We Use Personal Information Obtained Through the Website
The personal information you provide to us when
using our website, such as your name, postal or email address or telephone number
will be kept confidential and used to support your customer relationship with
eCredit, and to notify you of special offers, updated information and new
products and services from eCredit, offers from third parties that we think may
be of interest to you, or used by eCredit or third parties for the purpose of
conducting market research or surveys on behalf of eCredit. Agents or
contractors of eCredit who are given access to your personal information will
be required to keep the information confidential and not use it for any other
purpose than to carry out the services they are performing for eCredit.
Circumstances may arise where we are required to disclose your personal
information to third parties for purposes other than to support your customer
relationship with eCredit, such as in connection with a corporate divestiture
or dissolution where we sell all or a portion of our business or assets
(including our associated customer lists containing your personal information),
or if disclosure is required by law or is pertinent to judicial or governmental
investigations or proceedings.
You Can Opt Out of Receiving Further Marketing from eCredit at Any Time
We will send you information about our various products and services, or other products and services we feel may be of interest to you. Only eCredit (or agents or contractors working on behalf of eCredit and under confidentiality agreements) will send you these direct mailings. If you do not want to receive such mailings, simply tell us when you give us your personal information. Or, at any time you can easily opt out of receiving further marketing from eCredit by emailing us at privacy@ecredit.com.
Our Commitment to Data Security
To prevent unauthorized access and maintain data accuracy, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
