marketing partners and suppliers.
Market Velocity, Inc. fully cooperates with law enforcement agencies in
identifying those who use our service for illegal activities. We reserve the
right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we reasonably
believe to be unlawful or require further investigation. Also, we must of course
disclose information that is required to be disclosed pursuant to court order,
subpoena or other legal process (including any information required to be

or your organization may be the subject of an information request, subpoena or

Use of Cookies
A cookie is used to store a customer's

Notification of Changes
If, at some point in the future,
we are going to use your personally identifiable information in a manner
different from that stated at the time of collection, we will notify you via
email. At that time, you will have a choice as to whether or not we use your
information in this different manner by responding to the message in the time
communicated in the email (at least 30 days). In addition, if we make any
material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information
already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our website
notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post the notice, we will
also email users who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying
them of the changes in our privacy practices.
Email Communications
This site does not use newsletters
in any way. The only email communications you will receive are administrative
and will not contain any promotional, advertising and/or marketing information
unless you opt-in for this type of communication during registration. These
will include, but are not limited to, a confirmation, shipping instructions,
shipping reminders, proof of purchase reminder, product received and check
mailed emails.
Co-branded Sites
Co-branded sites are websites that
Market Velocity, Inc. hosts and manages for its clients under our client’s
logo. We gather and own all collected data, but share all personally
identifiable information with our respective clients based on their disclosed
policies.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect
our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the website,
their information is protected both online and offline.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information,
such as a credit card number and/or social security number, that information is
encrypted. It is protected with the best encryption software in the industry -
SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the
bottom of web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked or open, when users are just
'surfing'.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also
do everything in our power to protect user information offline. All of our
users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is
restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a
specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access
to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password
protected screen savers when they leave their desk. When they return, they must
re-enter their password to regain access to user information. Furthermore, ALL
employees are kept up to date on security and privacy practices. Every employee
is oriented to our policies and the serious attention we give to personally
identifiable information. Additionally, any time policies are changed or new
policies are added, our employees are notified and reminded about the importance
we place on privacy and what they can do to ensure our users' information is
protected. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information
are in a secure environment, which utilizes state of the art security systems
and procedures.
If users have any questions about the security at our website, users can send
an email to mailto:webmaster@marketvelocity.com?subject=Web
Site Security.
Log Files Usage
Like most standard website servers, we
use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type,
internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time
stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track users’
movements in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for
aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable
information.
Service Providers (and our information sharing
practices)
We use an outside shipping company to ship orders and a credit
card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do
not retain, share, store, or use personally identifiable information for any
secondary purposes.
We partner with other third parties to receive and
inspect your shipped product(s). We only share names and addresses with these
third party service providers that are necessary for the third party to provide
these services. These third parties are not allowed to use personally
identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.
Correcting/Updating/Deleting/De-activating Personal
Information
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes
(such as zip code, phone, email or postal address), or if a user no longer
desires our service, we provide a way to correct, update or delete/de-activate
the user’s personally identifiable information. This can usually be done at the
[member information page] or by emailing our Customer Support at customerservice@marketvelocity.com?subject=URGENT:
Personal Information Change Request. Or, contact us by telephone or postal mail
per the contact information listed below.
