Evolve Systems® Commitment to Online Security
Physical, electronic and managerial procedures have been employed to safeguard the security and integrity of personal information. Billing information is encrypted whenever transmitted or received online. Personal information is accessible only by staff designated to handle online complaints or requests. All Evolve Systems® agents and contractors with access to personal information obtained on the Evolve Systems® websites are also bound to adhere to this policy. To protect the security of information supplied by businesses applying for participation in the Evolve Systems® online privacy program, businesses are provided user names and passwords to access their information.
Personal Information that Evolve Systems® May Collect Online
The Evolve Systems® collects the following types of personal information: names, postal and e-mail addresses, phone and facsimile numbers, billing information. The Evolve Systems® may also collect business information from sole proprietorships that apply for membership and for program participation, some of which could constitute personal information, as well as personal information from individuals acting solely in their business capacity. Evolve Systems® does not collect or maintain information from those actually known to be under the age of 13, and no part of our sites are structured to attract anyone under the age of 13.
How Evolve Systems® Uses Personal Information Collected Online
Evolve Systems® may share your information in a privacy-safe way with third parties to perform ad measurement services on your behalf. Evolve Systems® obtains customer consent for such sharing and use where legally required. Unless you consent, Evolve Systems® will not use your personal information for any other purpose than that for which it is submitted. We use personal information to reply to inquiries, handle complaints, provide operational notices and in program record-keeping. At certain points where personal information is collected on our site, there may be a box where you may indicate you would like to be on a list to receive information about other Evolve Systems® programs and services and about ways to support the Evolve Systems® and the Better Business Bureau Foundation. This election box only appears in places where the department collecting personal information maintains such lists. At any time you can add or remove your name from a Evolve Systems® list by contacting us at [email protected].
How Your Information May Be Shared
We never sell or rent your personal information. Evolve Systems® may also release personal information to appropriate governmental authorities under the following circumstances:
Where release is required by law (for example, a subpoena) or regulation, or is requested by a government agency conducting investigations or proceedings;
Where our records indicate a company may be engaged in fraudulent activity or other deceptive practices that a governmental agency should be made aware of;
Where warranted by a company’s failure to participate in the advertising self-regulatory process or respond to an online privacy complaint; or
Where your communication suggests possible harm to others.
