Because information is our business, privacy and data protection are a fundamental part of how we do business. Today, with the power of the Internet, we have the opportunity to deliver products and services faster and more efficiently than ever before. We also have the ability to better serve our customers by providing them a customized experience based on their preferences. Many of the measurable benefits derived from our products and services and from our Web site are a result of the ability to gather information and use it. We recognize that the collection and free flow of information on the Internet can be troubling for some users. Therefore, we advocate that the information flows be balanced against other’s privacy interests. The company also believes the adoption of balanced data protection practices for the Internet makes good business sense. Therefore, PayNet, Inc., ("PayNet"), subscribes to the practices described below.

A visitor to www.paynetonline.com who is not purchasing products or services, is not required to reveal any individually identifiable information such as name, address or telephone number.

Using Internet technology, we may collect information that is non-individually-identifiable such as what browser is being used (e.g., Netscape) or the domain name from which a visitor entered the site (e.g., www.your company.com or www.your university.edu). This information is used in the aggregate to administer our system and make improvements to our site.

Some pages within our site require provision of individually identifiable information to order a product or to register with us. When this information is requested, you will know because you will be asked to complete a form and return it to us. The data requested may include your name, mailing and e-mail addresses, telephone and fax numbers, as well as choices you identify for your personalized experience on the site. We collect this individually identifiable information to complete business transactions, deliver products and services, administer individual accounts, provide customer support and meet government regulatory requirements such as tax collection.

PayNet does not sell or voluntarily share the information externally. We do, however, from time to time compile online transaction and registration information for internal analyses such as researching and identifying market segments and needs. The company will also use this information to provide customers updates about our products and services via e-mail. At the time of collection, customers will be given a choice to opt-out of receiving these e-mail updates.

When you purchase a product or service, we may collect credit card information for billing purposes. This information is processed for us by a third party partner. That third party and PayNet use security techniques, including encryption and secure servers, to protect against unauthorized access to transmitted information used for billing purposes. Neither PayNet nor our third party contractor stores, uses or shares credit card information for any other purpose.

The PayNet site contains links to other Web sites. PayNet is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.

PayNet takes technical, contractual, administrative and physical steps to protect against unauthorized access to and disclosure of individually identifiable information. If, during their employment, our associates acquire confidential or proprietary information belonging to PayNet or its customers, such information will be handled in confidence and may not be disclosed to unauthorized third parties. PayNet associates are also responsible for the internal security of such information. On certain sites, technology is used to secure all information.

For more information, questions or concerns regarding PayNet data protection practices, please contact us at info@paynetonline.com.
