Personally Identifiable Information
We DO NOT Share Personally Identifiable Information with Third Parties.
Agents
We use CyberSource, an outside credit card processing company, to bill you for goods and services. Our database is hosted by a third party at rackspace.com. These agents do not retain, share, store, or use personally identifiable information for any other purposes.
Service Providers
We use other third parties to provide related services on our site. When you opt for these, we will share this form as necessary for the third party to provide that service. These third parties are prohibited from using your personally identifiable information for any other purpose.
Legal Disclaimer

Log Files
As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.
We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.
We link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information. IP addresses are tied to personally identifiable information to offer regionally specific advertising (for example: A lender is licensed in FL and GA, but not CA. Users in FL or GA may see an advertisement for that lender, whereas users from CA would not).

A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser’s “help” file.
We set a persistent cookie to store your passwords, so you don’t have to enter it more than once.
We may use, at our discretion, a third-party tracking service that uses log files to track non-personally identifiable information about visitors to our site in the aggregate: Date, Time, "incoming," "user" or "client" IP address, "URI-Stem," "URL" or "relative URL", URI-Query, HTTP Status, "server," "web site" or "hosting" IP address, Referring URL, "Browser Tag" or "User Agent", "Bytes transferred" or "Bytes Sent", Cookies to provide real-time data visualization and interactive reporting.
