Privacy Policy
|
|
| Public-Search
is committed to respecting the privacy rights of all visitors
to our Web site. The following policy describes how Public-Search
protects information it receives from visitors to its
Web properties. |
|
| 1. |
What information does
Public-Search collect and how does Public-Search use it? |
|
Public-Search collects personally
identifiable information when you: visit our site, when
you purchase products. When you visit our site we may
collect information such as an email address and/or may
use "cookies" (see below). This information is used to
enhance your user experience and provide you with information
regarding Public-Search services and special offers. When
you order services or register on Public-Search properties,
we may need you to provide your name, e-mail address,
mailing address, phone number and credit card information.
When processing transactions such as credit card payments,
this information may be sent to reputable third parties
for fraud detection. These vendors maintain an obligation
of confidentiality with regard to such information. When
you elect to be included in our opt-out program, we may
need you to provide personal information including but
not limited to: your full name, e-mail address, mailing
address, past addresses and aliases. This information
is used to help prevent your private information, as distinguished
from your public record information, from being disclosed
through Public-Search services. |
|
| As a visitor, you will also
be given a choice when navigating through the Public-Search
Web site or when ordering services, whether or not you
would like to be included on Public-Search's mailing list.
If you are included on Public-Search's mailing list, we
may notify you about important functionality changes to
the Web site, new services, and special offers we think
you'll find valuable. |
|
| Public-Search implements
a variety of security measures to maintain the safety
of your personal information. User personal information
is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible
by a limited number of employees who have specific access
rights to such systems. When you place orders or access
your personal information, we offer the use of a secure
server. All sensitive/credit information you supply is
transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
Should it be necessary to transmit your personal information
to a reputable third party vendor to: (1) fulfill our
service commitment to you, (2) to include you in our opt-out
program, or (3) to process your credit card, Public-Search
will require all recipients of such information to maintain
the information as confidential information and agree
not to disclose such information to third parties. |
|
| Public-Search may disclose
your personal information when required to do so by law,
court order or pursuant to government or law enforcement
authority request or in a good faith belief that disclosure
is necessary or advisable under the circumstances. |
|
| 2. |
Does Public-Search disclose
the information it collects from its visitors to outside
parties? |
|
Public-Search

you voluntarily provide in any form including but not
limited to order forms and opt-out program requests. This
information is used to better understand your use of Public-Search's
site and to support related transactions made on the site.
Public-Search may send your personally identifiable information
to third parties when: (1) we have your consent; (2) we
need to share your information to provide the product
or service you have requested; (3) we need to send the
information to companies working on Public-Search's behalf
including but not limited to credit card processing services
(these companies have agreed to maintain information provided
by Public-Search as secure confidential information that
will not be disclosed unless legally required to do so);
(4) we find that you have violated any stated terms of
service or conditions of purchase; or (5) we respond to
court orders or legal process. |

Cookies are bits of electronic

Access To Personal Identifying
Information |
|
Public-Search provides access
to your personal identifying information collected through

Enhancement
of Marketing Profile |
|
We
purchase third party marketing data and add it to our
existing user database to better target our advertising
and provide pertinent offers we think our users would
be interested in. We use this information to enhance or
overlay the eprofilef of individual users.
This aggregate marketing data is therefore tied to the
usersf personally identifiable information. |
|
|
| 8. |
Security |
|
This
Web site takes every precaution to protect our usersf
information. When users submit sensitive information
via the Web site, their information is protected both
online and off-line.
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 on a secure page, such as our
order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers
such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer
becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when
users are just surfing. While we use SSL encryption
to protect sensitive information online, we also do
everything in our power to protect user-information
off-line. All of our usersf information, not just
the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted
in our offices. Only employees who need the information
to perform a specific job (for example, our billing
clerk or a customer service representative) are granted
access to personally identifiable information. Our employees
must use password-protected screen-savers when they
leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter
their password to re-gain access to user information.
Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable
information are in a secure environment, behind a firewall.
If users have any questions about the security at our
Web site, users can send an email to customer support.

Service
Providers
|
|
We
partner with other third parties to provide specific services.
When the user signs up for these particular services,
we share names, or other contact information SSN, DOB
that is necessary for the third party to provide these
services. These third parties are not allowed to use personally
identifiable information except for the purpose of providing
these services. |
|

Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware
that we are not responsible for the privacy practices

Choice/Opt-out |
|
Our
users are given the opportunity to eopt-out & of having
their information used for purposes not directly related
to our site at the point where we ask for information.
For example, our order form has an eopt-outf
mechanism so users who buy a product from us, but donft
want any marketing material, can keep their email address
off of our lists. Users
who no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional
communications may opt-out of receiving these communications
by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in the
email.
