Visitors To Our website:

We use Google Analytics to track visitors to our website. Google Analytics is a very common program and helps us understand how visitors are using our website. The type of information we collect from Google Analytics includes (but is not limited to):

  • The type of browser you are using
  • Your operating system
  • Your Network location and IP address
  • The page(s) you visited on our website
  • Whether you applied for our services
  • The website that referred you to us, if any

We use this information to understand how people respond to our marketing campaigns and learn which pages visitors find valuable. To learn more, you can visit Google Analytics.

Also, as an information security best practice, our server does capture IP-based visitor logs that are intended as protection against fraud or attacks on our website. Apparently, there have been some cases of unscrupulous businesses attempting to profit from the sale of these logs. This is not something we would ever consider doing.

Please note that our Web site may contain links to third party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those sites.

We use the information submitted to respond to the question or request via email or telephone. We do not sell any contact information to third parties. However, we have contractual relationships with third parties to provide merchant services. We may periodically communicate with these third parties to respond to a request made on our website. These third parties are permitted to use any such information only to assist us in responding to your request. We may periodically share information about our products and services with individuals who have provided contact information to us. If you do not wish to receive this information, simply advise us of your wishes and we will no longer communicate with you.

Additionally, we utilize several third parties to provide merchant services to you. We may share information about you, your business and specific transactions with these third parties in order to furnish the requested services. The third parties that we collaborate with are reputable organizations and are contractually prohibited from using any information we share with them for a purpose other than providing the services you requested. If you contract with us to obtain merchant services, we will communicate with other financial institutions on your behalf to facilitate requested transactions and perform other actions as described in our merchant services agreement.
