Information Collection and Use
Below is a list of the information
collected by this website, with it's intended purpose.
Registration: Registration is simply a way to
enhance customer interaction within our network of partnered
sites. The only information this site collects is 1-your
email address (if you sign up for our newsletter) and/or
2-the first six digits of your phone number, which will
help us customize our presentation to better serve your
needs. Your email address will be stored in our servers
and accessed only to send you the email newsletter.
The first six digits of your phone number - used exclusively
in our Best
Rate Calculator - are stored in a browser
cookie, and will be utilized to hold data for the user’s
next visit to this site.
If you subscribe to our newsletter,
you will be emailed a weekly publication directly from
the Dollar Stretcher - the authors of our newsletter.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or
promotional materials from www.LDSearch.com may opt-out
of receiving these communications by replying to unsubscribe
in the subject line in the email.
Customer Service: Our customer
service page will require ONLY your name, email address,
and phone number. This information is required to research
your request and to reply with an answer to your inquiry.
Your information is entered into a database housed on
our server to ensure that your inquiry is tracked and
answered in a timely fashion. We also use this data
to re-open trouble tickets that were entered in the
past.
Refer-A-Friend: The refer-a-friend feature of
this site allows you to send an email announcement to
your friends, family, and associates. This email will
suggest and encourage the recipients to visit this website
and to sign up for our discounted product offerings.
The email addresses you enter are not stored anywhere
and are discarded once the original email is sent.
Order Forms: When you find a product you wish
to order, we will send you directly to a third party
site managed and maintained by the corresponding product
vendor. Here you are requested for contact information
(like name and shipping address) and financial information
(like credit card number, expiration date). This information
is used for billing purposes and to fill your orders.
If we have trouble processing an order, this contact
information is used to get in touch with you. Though
the order forms are not hosted or maintained by LDSearch.com
directly or covered by our privacy s tatement, we have
carefully screened each one for security and have deemed
them safe, as each order form is protected with 128-bit
Verisign encryption.
Cookies: A cookie is a piece of data stored
on the user’s hard drive containing information about
the user. Cookies can also enable us to track and target
the interests of our users to enhance the experience
on our site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to
any personally identifiable information while on our
site. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site,
you will not have to log in a password or phone number
more than once, thereby saving you time and making your
online shopping experience more enjoyable. If a user
rejects the cookie, they may still use our site without
any negative results whatsoever.
Log Files: We use IP addresses and/or referring
URLs to analyze trends, administer the site, track users'
movement, and gather broad demographic information for
aggregate use. IP addresses and referring URLs are not
linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing: As we stated in our order forms and
registration declaration above, we are a portal website.
Consequently, we work with other companies to provide
your information to vendors who provide the cheap rates.
All orders use outside shipping companies to ship orders,
and credit card processing companies to bill users for
goods and services.
Links: This web site contains links to other
sites. Please be aware that LDSearch.com is not responsible
for the privacy practices of such other sites, though
we have screened each company for appropriate security
and information privacy practices. We encourage our
users to be aware when they leave our site and to read
the privacy statements of each and every web site that
collects personally identifiable information. This privacy
statement applies solely to information collected by
this Web site.
Security: This website takes every precaution
to protect our users’ information. When users submit
sensitive information via the website, your information
is protected both online and off-line. We coordinate
with our partnered sites to assure a secure and seamless
experience when submitting your sensitive information
to their sites. If you have any questions about the
security at our website, you can send an email to support@LDSearch.com
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes
(such as your email or phone number), or if a user no
longer desires our service, we provide a way to correct,
update or remove that user’s personal data provided
to us.This can usually be done by contacting
our Customer Support Department.
Choice/Opt-out: Our users are given the opportunity
to ‘opt-out’ of having their information used for purposes
not directly related to our site at the point where
we ask for the information. Users who no longer wish
to receive our newsletter or promotional materials may
opt-out of receiving these communications by replying
to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email. Users
of our site are always notified if their information
is being collected by any outside parties. For instance,
we use pop-up windows when moving to a new site. We
do this so our users can make an informed choice as
to whether they should proceed with services that require
an outside party, or not.
Notification of Changes: If we decide to change
our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our
Homepage so our users are always aware of what information
we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances,
if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to
use personally identifiable information in a manner
different from that stated at the time it was collected,
we would notify users by way of an email. Users will
have a choice as to whether or not we use their information
in this different manner. However, if you have opted
out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated
your account, then you will not be contacted. Nor will
your personal information be used in this new manner.
We will only use information in accordance with the
privacy policy under which the information was collected. |
