Online Data Collection Practices A visitor to the CDIcredit web site is not required to reveal any individually identifiable information. We collect some information about visitors indirectly through standard web logs, including IP address, what browser is being used (e.g., Netscape), and the domain name from which a visitor entered the site (e.g., www.yourcompany.com). We normally use this information in the aggregate to administer and improve our web site. Some data may be traceable to an individual, but we do not normally seek to identify individuals unless we believe that someone is using our site improperly. Some existing customers come to our web site with IDs and passwords already assigned. Others who may register at our web site are asked to provide standard contact information, such as name, mailing and e-mail addresses, and telephone and fax numbers. We may also collect a credit card number from those who wish to buy products and services. We sometimes use an Internet device called a cookie to store login or other information on your computer. A cookie is a small amount of information that a web site transfers to your computer's hard drive. Many web sites use cookies to make your life as a web user easier and more engaging. We use cookies to simplify your access or to tailor our services to your needs and interests. For some services, we offer users the choice of having an ID or password stored in a cookie. Cookies come with some protections. We do not store credit card numbers in cookies. No other site can read a cookie set by CDIcredit, and we can't read a cookie that another web site wrote to your computer. Most Internet browsers are set to accept cookies. Users can reset browsers to refuse cookies and still use our web site, although access may not be as simple. Through our web site, we occasionally offer users the opportunity to receive sales or promotional information for CDIcredit products and services of interest to them. A user who agrees may be asked to provide standard contact information (e.g., name, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers) that we will use to provide information about our products and services.
Collection and Security of Business Information CDIcredit collects information on thousands of businesses. Our primary sources of information are the owners or principals of businesses and public record information such as Secretary of State data, lien filings, lawsuits, judgments, foreclosures and security deeds. Some users volunteer information about their business relationships with their own customers for inclusion in our business-to-business credit database. CDIcredit takes technical, contractual and administrative steps to control data in order to protect against unauthorized access, use and disclosure.
Access and Correction A business may request a copy of its own credit report for $39. When a business owner or principal contacts CDIcredit about a potential error, we act promptly to correct the misleading information.
Updates to the Privacy Policy To keep up with the rapidly evolving Internet environment, CDIcredit will from time to time review and revise these practices. Changes may be made at anytime without notice. Please check the Privacy Policy each time you visit our web site for the most current information. |
