| Our Commitment to Privacy
Our Privacy Policy was developed as an extension of our commitment to
combine the highest-quality products and services with the highest level
of integrity in dealing with our clients and partners. The Policy is designed
to assist you in understanding how we collect, use and safeguard the personal
information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions
when using our site and our products and services. This statement will
be continuously assessed against new technologies, business practices
and our customers' needs.
What Information
Do We Collect?
When you visit our Web site you may provide us with two types of information:
personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected
on an individual basis and Web site use information collected on an aggregate
basis as you and others browse our Web site.
1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide
Credit Card Information
If you choose to purchase products or services from us or our partners,
you may need to give personal information and authorization to obtain
information from various credit services. For example, you may need to
provide the following information:
Name
Mailing address
Email address
Credit card number
Home and business phone number
Other personal information (i.e. mother's maiden name)
Email Information
In addition to providing the foregoing information to our partners, if
you choose to correspond further with us through email, we may retain
the content of your email messages together with your email address and
our responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic communications
that we employ in the maintenance of information received by mail and
telephone.
2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes
a standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation below,
"What Are Cookies?") and Web server logs to collect information
about how our Web site is used. Information gathered through cookies and
Web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed,
time spent at our Web site, and the Web sites visited just before and
just after our Web site. This information is collected on an aggregate
basis. None of this information is associated with you as an individual.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to
Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering
our business activities, providing customer service and making available
other products and services to our customers and prospective customers.
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you
about important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers
we think you will find valuable. The lists used to send you product and
service offers are developed and managed under our traditional corporate
standards designed to safeguard the security and privacy of our customers'
personal information. As a customer, you will be given the opportunity,
at least once annually, to notify us of your desire not to receive these
offers.
What Are Cookies? Cookies are a feature
of Web browser software that allows Web servers to recognize the computer
used to access a Web site. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored
by a user's Web browser on the user's hard drive. Cookies can remember
what information a user accesses on one Web page to simplify subsequent
interactions with that Web site by the same user or to use the information
to streamline the user's transactions on related Web pages. This makes
it easier for a user to move from Web page to Web page and to complete
commercial transactions over the Internet. Cookies should make your online
experience easier and more personalized.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
We use Web site browser software tools such as cookies and Web server
logs to gather information about our Web site users' browsing activities,
in order to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our customers.
This information assists us to design and arrange our Web pages in the
most user-friendly manner and to continually improve our Web site to better
meet the needs of our customers and prospective customers.
Cookies help us collect important business and technical
statistics. The information in the cookies lets us trace the paths followed
by users to our Web site as they move from one page to another. Web server
logs allow us to count how many people visit our Web site and evaluate
our Web site's visitor capacity. We do not use these technologies to capture
your individual email address or any personally identifying information
about you although they do permit us to send focused online banner advertisements
or other such responses to you.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
From time to time you may notice offers from outside companies advertised
on our Web site. We take measures to select product or service providers
that are responsible and afford privacy protections to their customers.
However, we cannot make any representations about the practices and policies
of these companies.
Sharing Information with Strategic Partners
We may enter into strategic marketing alliances or partnerships with third
parties who may be given access to personal information including your
name, address, telephone number and email for the purpose of providing
you information regarding products and services that we think will be
of interest to you. In connection with strategic marketing alliances or
partnerships, we will retain all ownership rights to the information,
and we will not share information regarding your social security number
or other personal financial data.
Notice of New Services and Changes
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you
about important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers
we think you will find valuable. As our client, you will be given the
opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers by
clicking on a response box when you receive such an offer or by sending
us an email request at privacy@scoredenver.com.
How Do We Secure Information Transmissions?
When you send confidential personal credit card information to us on our
Web site, a secure server software which we have licensed encrypts all
information you input before it is sent to us. The information is scrambled
en route and decoded once it reaches our Web site.
Other email that you may send to us may not be secure unless
we advise you that security measures will be in place prior to your transmitting
the information. For that reason, we ask that you do not send confidential
information such as Social Security or account numbers to us through an
unsecured email.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
Information Security. We utilize encryption/security
software to safeguard the confidentiality of personal information we collect
from unauthorized access or disclosure and accidental loss, alteration
or destruction.
Evaluation of Information Protection Practices.
Periodically, our operations and business practices are reviewed for compliance
with corporate policies and procedures governing the security, confidentiality
and quality of our information.
Employee Access, Training and Expectations.
Our corporate values, ethical standards, policies
and practices are committed to the protection of customer information.
In general, our business practices limit employee access to confidential
information, and limit the use and disclosure of such information to authorized
persons, processes and transactions.
How Can You Access and Correct Your Information?
You may request access to all your personally identifiable information
that we collect online and maintain in our database by emailing privacy@scoredenver.com.
Do We Disclose Information to Outside Parties?
We may provide aggregate information about our customers, sales, Web site
traffic patterns and related Web site information to our affiliates or
reputable third parties, but this information will not include personally
identifying data, except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy.
What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information?
We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other
words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for
the protection of our legal rights.
What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site?
We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked
to or from our Web site nor the information or content contained therein.
Often links to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers to information
on topics that may be useful to the users of our Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from our
Web site to another Web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect.
Your browsing and interaction on any other Web site, including Web sites
which have a link on our Web site, is subject to that Web site's own rules
and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.
Your Consent
By using our Web site you consent to our collection and use of your personal
information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we change our privacy
policies and procedures, we will post those changes on our Web site to
keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under
what circumstances we may disclose it. |
