We know how important
privacy is to your business. Because of our interest in protecting your privacy,
and the privacy of your members, we have adopted the following privacy
principles:
- Recognition
of Your Expectation of Privacy. We
recognize that you expect privacy and security. We understand the need to
safeguard our sensitive information about your members that you have
entrusted to us. We maintain standards and procedures designed to prevent
misuse of this information.
- Our
Collection, Retention, and Use of Information about Your Members.
We collect, retain, and use information about your members only when we
have received this information from you with the express intention to
provide a service that you have requested from us. We collect and retain
information about your members only for specific business purposes – and
we will tell you why we are collecting and retaining it upon your request.
- Limiting
Employee Access to Information. We
have procedures that limit employee access to personally identifiable
information to those employees with a business reason to know such
information about your members. We enforce this through standard operating
procedures and our policies on ethics. We take appropriate disciplinary
measures to enforce privacy responsibilities.

Procedures to Protect Information.
We maintain security standards and procedures to help prevent unauthorized
access to confidential information about your members. We update and test
our technology to improve the protection of our information about you and to
assure the integrity of our information.

We do not disclose any information about your members unless (1) you request
or authorize it; or (2) the disclosure otherwise is lawfully required. We do
not provide account or personal information to third parties for the purpose
of independent telemarketing or direct mail marketing of any non-financial
products or services of those parties.
