Scope
This Privacy Policy describes how
we handle your personal information for our services on the Service
Estimator website. It applies generally to the service-estimator.com
website and content and other related websites where this policy appears
in the footer of the page. The policy that applies on any of our domains
or sub-domains is always the policy that appears in the footer of each
website.
Subject to the requirements of
applicable law, we strive to provide a consistent set of privacy practices
throughout the Service Estimator community. By accepting the Privacy
Policy and the Non- Disclosure Agreement in registration, you expressly
consent to our collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal
information as described in this Privacy Policy.
Collection
You can browse our site without
telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about
yourself. Once you give us your personal information, you are not
anonymous to us. If you choose to provide us with personal information,
you consent to the transfer and storage of that information on our
servers.
We may collect and store the
following personal information:
-
email
address, physical contact information, and (depending on the service
used) sometimes financial information, such as credit card or bank
account numbers;
-
transactional
information based on your activities on the sites (such as buying
items or services that you generate or that relates to your account);
-
shipping,
billing and other information you provide to purchase or ship an item
or service;
-
community
discussions and chat correspondence through our site, and
correspondence sent to us;
-
other
information from your interaction with our site, its services,
including computer and connection information, statistics on page
views, traffic to and from the site, ad data, IP address and standard
web log information;
-
additional
information we ask you to submit to authenticate yourself or if we
believe you are violating site policies (for example, we may ask you
to send us an ID to verify your address, or to answer additional
questions online to help verify your identity;
-
other
supplemental information from third parties (for example, if you incur
a debt to Service Estimator, we will generally conduct a credit check
by obtaining additional information about you from a credit bureau, as
permitted by law).
Marketing
We don't sell or rent your personal
information to third parties for their marketing purposes without your
explicit consent. We may combine your information with information we
collect from other companies and use it to improve and personalize our
services, content and advertising. If you don't wish to receive marketing
communications from us or participate in our programs, simply indicate
your preference in My Service Estimator account or by following the
directions provided with the communication or advertisement.
Use
Our primary purpose in collecting
personal information is to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient, and
customized experience. You agree that we may use your personal information
to:
-
provide
the services and customer support you request;
-
resolve
disputes, collect fees, and troubleshoot problems;
-
prevent
potentially prohibited or illegal activities, and enforce our
Non-Disclosure Agreement;
-
customize,
measure and improve our services, content and advertising;
-
tell
you about our services, targeted marketing, service updates, and
promotional offers based on your communication preferences; and
-
compare
information for accuracy, and verify it with third parties.
Our
Disclosure of Your Information
We may disclose personal
information to respond to legal requirements, enforce our policies or
protect anyone's rights, property, or safety. Such information will be
disclosed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
We may also share your personal
information with:
-
Other
members of Service Estimator’s corporate staff to help detect and
prevent potentially illegal acts and violations of our policies, and
to guide decisions about other products, services and communications.
Members of our corporate staff will use this information to send you
marketing communications only if you’ve requested their services;
-
Service
providers under contract who help with our business operations;
-
Other
third parties to whom you explicitly ask us to send your information
(or about whom you are otherwise explicitly notified and consent to
when using a specific service);
-
Law
enforcement or other governmental officials, in response to a verified
request relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal
activity. In such events, we will disclose information relevant to the
investigation, such as name, city, state, zip code, telephone number,
email address, User ID history and IP address;
-
Service
Estimator participants under confidentiality agreement, as we in our
sole discretion believe necessary or appropriate in connection with an
investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or
other unlawful activity. In such events, we will disclose name, street
address, city, state, zip code, country, phone number, email address
and company name;
-
Other
business entities, should we plan to merge with or be acquired by that
business entity. (Should such a combination occur, we will require
that the new combined entity follow this privacy policy with respect
to your personal information. If your personal information will be
used contrary to this policy, you will receive prior notice.)
Without limiting the above, in an
effort to respect your privacy and our ability, we will not otherwise
disclose your personal information to law enforcement, other government
officials, or other third parties without a subpoena, court order or
substantially similar legal procedure, except when we believe in good
faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to prevent imminent
physical harm or financial loss or to report suspected illegal activity.
Information
You Share on Service Estimator
Your User ID is private on Service
Estimator (and so it is not available to the public), and is connected to
all of your Service Estimator activity. So if you associate your name with
your User ID, the people to whom you have revealed your name will be able
to personally identify your Service Estimator activities.
If you access our site from a
shared computer or a computer in an internet café, certain information
about you, such as your User ID, activity or reminders from Service
Estimator, may also be visible to other individuals who use the computer
after you.
Using
Information from Service Estimator
Service Estimator enables you to
share personal and financial information to complete transactions. To help
protect your privacy, we allow only limited access to other users'
contact, information to facilitate communication.
You agree to use user information
only for:
-
Service
Estimator transaction-related purposes that are not unsolicited
commercial messages;
-
using
services offered through Service Estimator, or
-
other
purposes that a user expressly chooses.
Cookies
We use "cookies" (small
files placed on your hard drive) on certain of our pages to help analyze
our web page flow; customize our services, content and advertising;
measure promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and safety. For more
information about why we use cookies,
A few important things you should
know about cookies are that:
-
We
offer certain features that are available only through the use of
cookies
-
We
use cookies to help identify you and maintain your signed-in status
-
Most
cookies are "session cookies," meaning that they are
automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of a session
-
You
are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits,
although doing so may interfere with your use of some of our site
services
-
You
may encounter cookies from third parties on certain pages of their
site that we do not control. (For example, if you view a web page of
one of our third party partners, there may be a cookie placed by that
web page.)
Account
Protection
Your password is the key to your
Service Estimator account. Use unique numbers, letters and special
characters, and do not disclose your Service Estimator password to anyone.
If you do share your password or your personal information with others,
remember that you are responsible for all actions taken in the name of
your account. If you lose control of your password, you may lose
substantial control over your personal information and may be subject to
legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password
has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately notify Service
Estimator and change your password.
Security
Your information is stored on our
servers. We treat data as an asset that must be protected and use lots of
tools (encryption, passwords, physical security, etc.) to protect your
personal information against unauthorized access and disclosure. However,
as you probably know, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access
transmissions or private communications, and other users may abuse or
misuse your personal information that they collect from the site.
Therefore, although we work very hard to protect your privacy, we do not
promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or
private communications will always remain private.
Third
Parties
Except as otherwise expressly
included in this Privacy Policy, this document addresses only the use and
disclosure of information we collect from you. If you disclose your
information to others, different rules may apply to their use or
disclosure of the information you disclose to them. Service Estimator does
not control the privacy policies of third parties, and you are subject to
the privacy policies of those third parties where applicable. We encourage
you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to
others.
