is committed to protecting the privacy of
our web site visitors and clients. We uphold

Security and Privacy
MyDataBroker.com's
web site uses security measures to protect
against the loss, misuse, and alteration of
the information under our control. We store
the information in a database in a secure
environment at our data center.
We will never share, sell, or rent
individual personal information with anyone
without advance permission or unless ordered
by a court of law. Information
submitted to us is only available to
employees managing this information for
purposes of contacting or sending e-mails
based on requesting information.
Choice Opt-in
Our partners and their subscribers are given
the opportunity to 'opt-in' to having their
information used for purposes not directly
related to our site at the point where we
ask for the information.
Users of our site will always be notified if
their information is being collected by any
outside parties. We do this to ensure that
our users can make an informed choice as to
whether or not they should proceed with
services that require an outside party.
Information Tracked
At times we will use your IP address to help
diagnose problems with our server and to
administer our web site. We also may track
browser types to help us understand our
visitors' needs related to our web site
design.
There is an optional section of our web site
where input forms require your name,
company, and e-mail address. This form
provides the ability to opt-in to receiving
future emails of any sort from
MyDataBroker.com. If you opt-in to
receiving email communications from us, then
we may send information to you on our
products or services.
Web
Beacons
In order to determine a user’s ability to
receive HTML email in addition to whether or
not an email has been opened,
MyDataBroker.com includes a “web beacon” in
a majority of the HTML email messages we
send. A web beacon (actually a small .gif
image) is activated when an HTML email is
opened via a request for the image on our
servers.
This capability helps MyDataBroker.com send
email in a format users can read and enables
MyDataBroker.com, and our clients that use
the functionality, to track the aggregate
number of emails opened. The web beacon does
not collect any personally identifiable
information. Users that do not want to
receive email messages with web beacons can
choose to receive their emails in text
(non-HTML) format.
We also use, and provide our clients with,
the capability to track when a URL has been
clicked inside of an email message sent by
our system. We use this functionality to
track which links were clicked and in what
quantity, as well as the aggregate number of
links clicked. This click tracking
functionality does not collect any
personally identifiable information.
Cookies
Client-side cookies are used to verify the
login status of customers using products or
services linked directly with our website.
Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any
personally identifiable information while on
our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they
may still use our site; however, the user
may not be able to access all areas of our
site.
Notification of Changes
Any new policy will be posted on our site at
least one week prior to its taking effect.
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 will 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.
