Website Privacy Policy

When you visit our Web site, we may collect usage information, such as the URL you came from, your IP address and domain name, your browser type, the country, state and telephone area code where your server is located, the pages of our site that were viewed during a visit, and any search terms that you entered on our site. This information is used for internal purposes only.

Regarding personal information, with two limited exceptions, you can visit the A-Check Web site without providing any personally identifying information. The only exceptions occur when:

Cookie

A "cookie" is a piece of information stored on your computer. Although cookies are used for a variety of purposes, our site only uses temporary session cookies that do not contain any personal information about you

Security

As a Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA), we are actively engaged in ensuring our systems and data are secure. Once we receive personally identifiable information, we take steps to protect its security on our systems. In the event we request or transmit sensitive information, such as credit card information or Social Security Numbers, we use industry standard, secure socket layer ("SSL") encryption. Several layers of firewalls, trap doors, encrypted file systems and extensive logging provide robust protection.

Our emphasis on privacy and security is reflected in the way we operate. We strictly limit access to personally identifiable information to those employees who need access in order to carry out their job responsibilities. All employees are prohibited from "browsing" through our files and databases. We train our employees in the application of a need-to-know standard. All employees and contractors must pass a thorough background check and security training is a key element of new employee orientation. All waste paper documents are shredded onsite and state-of-the-art security equipment monitor and control the entrance to our premises.
