This privacy statement is applicable to TransactionCoordinating.com & EscrowPartners.com.
1.
TransactionCoordinating.com and Your Privacy:
At TransactionCoordinating.com it is our intent to give
you as much control as possible over your privacy in regard to your personal
information and the use we make of it in the course of our business. In
general, you can visit TransactionCoordinating.com on the Web without telling us who
you are or revealing any information about yourself.
a. TransactionCoordinating.com does not collect personally
identifiable information about individuals except when such individuals
specifically provide such information on a voluntary basis. For example,
such personally identifiable information may be gathered from a contest
or sweepstakes registration, the registration process for subscription
sites or services and in connection with content submissions, community
postings (e.g., chat and bulletin boards), suggestions, voting/polling
activities and transactional areas. Personally identifiable information
on individual users will not be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated
third parties without the approval of the user at the time of collection.
At such points of collection, the user will have the opportunity to indicate
whether he or she would like to "opt out" of receiving promotional
and/or marketing information about other products, services and offerings
from TransactionCoordinating.com and/or any third parties. Further, notwithstanding
any opt out of promotional information by the user, TransactionCoordinating.com reserves
the right to contact a subscriber regarding account status, changes to
the subscriber agreement and other matters relevant to the underlying service
and/or the information collected.
b. TransactionCoordinating.com reserves the right
to perform statistical analyses of user behavior and characteristics in
order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the site and
to inform advertisers of such information as well as the number of users
that have been exposed to or clicked on their advertising banners. TransactionCoordinating.com
will provide only aggregated data from these analyses to third parties.
Also, users should be aware that TransactionCoordinating.com might, at times, permit
third parties to offer subscription and/or registration-based services
through the TransactionCoordinating.com site. TransactionCoordinating.com is not responsible for
any actions or policies of such third parties and users should check the
applicable privacy policy of such party when providing personally identifiable
information.
d. Users also should be aware that non-personal
information and data may be automatically collected through the standard
operation of TransactionCoordinating.com's Internet servers or through the use of "cookies."
"Cookies" are small text files a web site can use to recognize
repeat users, facilitate the user's ongoing access to and use of the site
and allow a site to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that
will allow content improvements and targeted advertising. Cookies are not
programs that come onto a user's system and damage files. Generally, cookies
work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside
the assigning site. Users should be aware that TransactionCoordinating.com cannot control
the use of cookies or the resulting information by advertisers or third
parties hosting data for TransactionCoordinating.com. If a user does not want information
collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most
browsers that allows the user to deny or accept the cookie feature; however,
users should note that cookies may be necessary to provide the user with
certain features (e.g., customized delivery of information) available on
the TransactionCoordinating.com Site.
e. Upon request, TransactionCoordinating.com will
allow any user to "opt out" of further promotional contacts at
any time. Additionally upon request, TransactionCoordinating.com will use reasonable
efforts to allow users to update/correct personal information previously
submitted which the user states is erroneous to the extent such activities
will not compromise privacy or security interests. Also, upon a user's
request, TransactionCoordinating.com will use commercially reasonable efforts to functionally
delete the user and his or her personal information from its database;
however, it may be impossible to delete a user's entry without some residual
information because of backups and records of deletions.
f. The foregoing policies are effective as of January 1, 2002. TransactionCoordinating.com
reserves the right to change this policy at any time by notifying users
of the existence of a new privacy statement. This statement and the policies
outlined herein are not intended to and do not create any contractual or
other legal rights in or on behalf of any party.
