Use of Personal Information

We use information collected regarding visitors to our website only as appropriate to provide authorized services or to communicate information regarding our services. No information regarding specific persons, including our customers, our employees, or visitors to our website, will be provided to any non-affiliated organization, except as may be legally required, to prevent fraud, or to comply with the legal inquiry of the government.

We do not anticipate a change in our policies regarding the use of personal information (see previous section "Use of Personal Information"). However, should we, at some future time, change our practices regarding the use of personal information (i.e., to share such information with third parties) we will provide notice by posting it on our website.

Changes to Information Security and Privacy Statement

We continue to adhere to good business practices. We will regularly review our policies and practices as we believe is warranted. Changes that are made that affect our Privacy Policy will be posted to our website.

Protection of Personal Information

We have taken precautions to protect your personal information under our control from misuse, loss or alteration. Our security measures include industry standard technology and equipment to help protect your data. Unfortunately, however, no system can ensure complete security and you should take all necessary steps to protect your information and its transmission to us. Since the Internet is a public medium, we cannot guarantee the absolute protection of your personal information.

What We Provide to Third-Parties

Third-party agents may need access to some of your personal information. For example, we may need to share your name and address with your employer or third parties. In such cases, we only provide third-party agents with the minimum amount of information needed to complete the requested service or transaction. We may also provide your information to our affiliated companies and successors.

We reserve the right to provide third-parties with aggregate statistics about our clients, traffic patterns, and related site information. This data reflects site usage patterns, but does not contain personally identifiable information about any individual user.

Cookies

"Cookies" are small pieces of information that some websites store on your computer's hard drive when you visit them. Like many other websites, we may use cookies to identify users for our business purposes.

IP Addresses

An IP address is a number assigned to your computer for accessing the Internet. All computer identification on the Internet is conducted using IP addresses to allow other computers and servers to recognize and communicate with each other. If a visitor requests pages from the FiledBy site(s) or our affiliate site(s), the servers enter the visitor's IP address into a log. We do not associate IP addresses with personal information received from visitors.

External Links

We may provide links to third-party websites or enable links to be posted by users.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such websites or the information collected on such websites.

We advise considering whether or not to publicly post your private information very carefully. If you receive communications from us that you prefer not to receive, you may opt out from receiving these communications by specifically indicating this preference in a communication to us sent to: info@filedby.com.
