This privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for

-
What personally identifiable information of yours or third party personally
identification is collected from you through the web site;
-
The organization collecting the information;
-
How the information is used;

With whom the information may be shared;

Information Collection and Use
FactsFinder.com 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. FactsFinder.com collects information from our users
at several different points on our
website.
Registration
During registration for product and/or service
acquisition, a buyer/user is required to give his/her contact
information (such as name and email address). This information is
used to contact the user about the products/services on our site for
which they have expressed interest.
Order
We request information from the user on our order
forms. Here a user must provide contact information (like name and
shipping address) and financial information (like credit card
number, expiration date). This information is used for billing
purposes and to fill customer's orders. If we have trouble
processing an order, this contact information is used to get in
touch with the user.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the
site, track user's movement, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to
personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the
site, track user's movement, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to
personally identifiable information. 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.
We may use an outside,
licensed and regulated information broker for public records
acquisition, shipping company to ship orders, and a credit
card processing company to bill users for goods and services that
are ordered through our site. These companies do not retain, share,
store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary
purposes.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please
be aware that
FactsFinder.com
is not responsible for the privacy practices of
such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave
our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web
site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy
statement applies solely to information collected by this Web
site.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we
ask for contact information such as name and email
address.
Surveys &
Contests
From time-to-time
our site requests information from users via surveys and/or polls.
Participation in these surveys and/or polls is completely voluntary
and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this
information. Information requested may include contact information
(such as name and shipping address), and demographic information
(such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to
notify the winners and award prizes, if any. Survey information will
be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and
satisfaction of this site.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our
users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the
website, this 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 you 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 users'
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. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept
up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.
Site and Service
Updates
We also send the
user site and service announcement updates. Members are not able to
un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important
information about the service. We communicate with the user to
provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to
their account via email or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal
Information
If a user's personally
identifiable information changes (such as your zip code), or if a
user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a
way to correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided
to us. This can be done by simply e-mailing your requested changes
to info@factsfinder.com.
Notification of
Changes
If we decide to
change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this site
so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we
use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
