Privacy:
We use Personally Identifiable Information to customize the site, to make appropriate service offerings, and to fulfill buying and selling requests on the site. We may email visitors and authorized customers about research or purchase and selling opportunities on the site or information related to the subject matter of the Site. We may also use Personally Identifiable Information to contact visitors and authorized customers in response to specific inquiries, or to provide requested information.
Our site is PCI-compliant which means that:
* No cardholder data ever touches or passes through your Network, Server or Software.
* No cardholder data is ever retained or stored on your Network, Server or Software.
* Complete billing flexibility: You can accept online payments, have customers update their payment-on-file and easily process any transaction at any time.
* Complete end-user transparency: Customers making an online purchase only see your Web site checkout page and are NEVER re-directed for payment.
* Compatibility with third party vendors: this solution is already integrated or being integrated into all major 3rd party e-commerce billing & storefront applications.
In addition to our direct collection of information, our third party service vendors (such as credit card companies, clearinghouses and banks) who may provide such services as credit, insurance, and escrow services may collect this information from our Visitors and Authorized Customers. We do not control how these third parties use such information, but we do ask them to disclose how they use personal information provided to them from Visitors and Authorized Customers. Some of these third parties may be intermediaries that act solely as links in the distribution chain, and do not store, retain, or use the information given to them.
Personally Identifiable Information about Authorized Customers may be shared only with other Authorized third party service vendors for purposes of completing transactions. We may share aggregated information about our Visitors, including the demographics of our Visitors and Authorized Customers, with our affiliated agencies and third party vendors. We also offer the opportunity to “opt out” of receiving information or being contacted by us or by any agency acting on our behalf.

There’s no need for you to download anything unless you’d like to have MP3s, PDFs, check lists, and swipe files where these are provided.
