Company currently uses cookie and web beacon technology to associate certain Internet-related
information about you with information about you in its database. Additionally, Company may
use other new and evolving sources of information in the future.
(a) Cookies.
"Cookies" are a feature on your browser software. If enabled, we may write cookies that
may store small amounts of data on your computer about your visit to any of the pages of
this Site. Cookies assist us in tracking which of our features appeal the most to you
and what content you may have viewed on past visits. When you visit this site again,
cookies can enable us to customize our content according to your preferences.
We may use cookies to: keep track of the number of return visits to this site;
accumulate and report aggregate, statistical information on website usage; deliver
specific content to you based on your interests or past viewing history; save your
password for ease of access to our Site. You can disable cookies, although the Site
may not function properly for you. Your browser preferences can be modified to accept
or reject all cookies, or request a notification when a cookie is set. You may read
more about cookies at http://cookiecentral.com. In order to use all of the features
and functionality of Company's websites, you need to accept cookies.
(b) Tracking Pixels.
Company uses clear GIF Tracking pixels to track user movement through the site for
aggregated site traffic metrics. In addition, some Company affiliates set tracking
pixels on our web pages to track completed auto loan requests referred by their websites.
(c) Web Beacons.
A web beacon is a programming code that can be used to display an image on a web page,
but can also be used to transfer your unique user identification to a database and associate
you with previously acquired information about an individual in a database. This allows Company
to track certain websites you visit. Web beacons are used to track online behavioral habits
for marketing purposes to determine products or services you may be interested in.
In addition to using web beacons on web pages, Company also uses web beacons in email
messages sent to individuals listed in Company's database.
(d) IP Addresses.
Company automatically tracks certain information based upon your behavior on the site.
We may use this information to do internal research on our users' demographics, interests,
and behavior to better understand, protect and serve you and our community.
This information may include the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on the site or not),
which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on the site or not), your computer browser information,
and your IP address. Your Internet Protocol ("IP") is a unique Internet "address" which is
assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider ("ISP"). For local area network ("LAN"),
DSL, or cable modem users, an IP address may be permanently assigned to a particular computer.
IP addresses are automatically logged by Web servers, collecting information about a user's
traffic patterns. While the IP address does not identify an individual by name, it may, with the
cooperation of the ISP, be used to locate and identify an individual using the Web.
Your IP address can, however, reveal what geographic area you are connecting from, or
which ISP you are using. Finally, other websites you visit have IP addresses, and we may collect
the IP addresses of those websites and their pages.
(e) Computer Profiles.
Company may also collect and accumulate other anonymous data which will help us understand and
analyze the Internet experience of our visitors. For instance, Company may accumulate visitor
data relating to referring domain names, the type of browsers used, operating system software,
screen resolutions, color capabilities, browser plug-ins, language settings, cookie preferences,
search engine keywords and JavaScript enablement. When you provide us with Personal
Identification Information, we are able to use such visitor data to identify you.
(f) Data Analysis.
Data Analysis technology may be employed from time to time if used by a Client of Company.
(g) New Technology.
The use of technology on the Internet, including cookies and web
beacons, is rapidly developing. As a result, Company strongly
encourages individuals to revisit this policy for any updates regarding
its use of new technology.
1.6. No Information Collected from Children.
Company will never knowingly collect any personal information about children under the age of 13.
If Company obtains actual knowledge that it has collected personal information about a child under
the age of 13, that information will be immediately deleted from its database. Because it does not
collect such information, Company has no such information to use or to disclose to third parties.
Company has designed this policy in order to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA").
1.7. Credit Card and Checking Account Information.
Company may, in certain instances, collect credit card numbers and related information when an individual
places an order from Company. When the credit card information or check account information is
submitted to Company, such information is encrypted and is protected with SSL encryption software.
Company will use the credit card or checking information for purposes of processing and completing the
requested transaction, and the credit card or checking account information will be disclosed to third
parties only as necessary to complete the requested transaction.
1.8. Security.
Company understands the importance of security for our consumers. When applicable, we use the latest
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption technology to protect sensitive personal or financial information
during transmission. This allows your personal information to be submitted in a secure environment
while reaching the intended parties. An SSL-capable web browser is needed to support this encryption
technology. Netscape Navigator 4.6 or higher or Microsoft's Internet Explorer 4.01 or higher will
support SSL technology. To verify that you are on a secure web page in Netscape Navigator, right-click
while your cursor is on the form (not the border) and select "view Frame information" in Netscape Navigator.
To view security certificates in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options on the View menu in the browser
and then the Content tab. In the Certificates area, click the Personal, Sites, and Publishers
buttons to view the current certificates.
