GENERAL PRIVACY POLICY
Why Should I Read This Policy?
We want you to understand how we collect and use information from visitors on our website. This notice explains what kind of information we collect, how we use it, and when we may disclose it to others. If you give us permission to collect or use personal information and we make any material changes in how we plan to use that information, we will notify you of this change and require that you give us permission for these new uses before we make further usage of it.
What is Personal Information?
"Personal information" is information that identifies a person or allows a person to be located. Examples of personal information include a name, a home address, an e-mail address, a telephone number, or a social security number. When Do We Collect Personal Information and What Kind of Information is Collected? If you request additional information about PAYBRIDGE, register to become an PAYBRIDGE member, make a purchase in the PAYBRIDGE online store, or participate in other services PAYBRIDGE may offer on its web site, we may request your name, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address, birth date and credit card information in order to respond to your inquiries and requests. If you make a purchase in the online PAYBRIDGE store, PAYBRIDGE will collect necessary shipping and financial information. From time to time, we may request information from you via surveys, sweepstakes or contests. Participation in these survey, sweepstakes or contests is completely voluntary; you have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include personal contact information such as your name, address, age, and e-mail address. Information will be used to notify winners, award prizes and to contact users with further information about PAYBRIDGE products and services, as well as the products and services of PAYBRIDGE partners and third parties. Survey information will be used for the purposes of monitoring or improving use and satisfaction of the PAYBRIDGE web site.
What Do We Do With the Personal Information We Collect?
We gather, store and archive the information we collect from our website, and we may use the personal information we collect from you for various purposes including: marketing and research analysis; product service and development; promotion and advertising; fulfillment of a requested transaction (i.e. sale of a product, delivery of a publication); record-keeping; marketing back; and billing and customizing the website to individual visitors. We also may use the information to develop an individual profile or a profile of certain groups of visitors to our website or for contacting you about our products, promotions, surveys, or new developments or events. If you do not want to be contacted about these products and promotions, you can let us know at any time. See the "Can You Delete or Edit or Update Personal Information?
Do We Disclose Personal Information About You?
We may disclose information we collect about you to other third party companies by way of sale, lease or rental agreement. The types of businesses in which such third parties are engaged include the following: magazine publishing and retailing; market analysis and development; participatory databases; non-profit organizations; and advertising. Of course, online purchases require us to disclose necessary payment information to payment processors. We also may use third parties to send you the products you purchase, in which case we would provide them with your name, address, and other information necessary to complete your order. Agreements with third parties will provide that such third parties will not use or disclose the information for purposes other than those purposes contracted for, and will also require the third parties to maintain the confidentiality, security and integrity of such information. You may choose not to provide PAYBRIDGE with any contact information. However, if you opt out in this way, we will be unable to respond to your request for PAYBRIDGE information, process your order, sign you up for PAYBRIDGE membership, or allow you to participate in other PAYBRIDGE web site services that require personal information. Additionally, your ability to navigate our site may be limited. You may opt-out of receiving this information by sending an email to remove@Paybridge.com. You have the option to agree to let us collect your personal information for activities on our website, but to not allow us to disclose the information to third parties. To prevent disclosure to third parties, please advise us.
