At Provell Financial Services, Inc.
("Provell"), we believe in the importance
of confidentiality and the protection of your nonpublic
personal information. The safekeeping of such information
is a priority
for us. This notice explains how we collect and handle
information
about you.
Customer Information.
Provell collects and retains only customer information
that is necessary or useful to conduct our business
and offer quality products and services to our
members and clients. We collect nonpublic personal
information from the following sources:
- Our client companies may provide information
necessary to offer our products to their customers,
such as names, addresses, and telephone numbers.
- You and other customers may provide information
to us in writing or over the phone regarding
your transactions with us and your memberships
in our programs.
- We may collect information when customers
visit our Web sites.
Security.
Provell maintains appropriate physical,
electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply
with applicable law to protect access to your personal
information. Industry-standard security technology,
such as firewalls and password protection, protects
databases and servers used in connection with the
transmission of data.
We limit access to your personal information to those
employees, agents, and contractors with a business
reason to know such information. All Provell employees,
agents, and contractors with access to nonpublic
personal information are responsible for maintaining
its confidentiality.
Disclosure of Information.
We do not disclose specific information
about you to non-affiliated third parties, except
to process your requests and otherwise as permitted
by law. All companies that receive customer information
from us are required to use that information only
to assist in providing services to customers and
clients, and are required to keep such information
confidential in accordance with our policies.
Provell may, as permitted by law,
share your information with our affiliated companies.
We may also disclose information to courts or other
governmental authorities as required by law. This
may include disclosure in connection with subpoenas,
audits, or public record filings.
We exercise special care with customer
credit card information. We do not receive credit
card information directly from financial institutions,
and in many cases never have access to your credit
card information. We only transfer files containing
such information via the Internet if the file is
encrypted using an approved encryption technique.
Client Policies.
Occasionally, our clients may request
additional privacy procedures for their customers.
These various requirements all place additional
limitations on the access and use of nonpublic
personal information.
Updated Privacy Policies.
So long as you remain a customer
of Provell, we will provide you with annual updates
of our privacy policy. If you cancel your Provell membership(s),
we will continue to adhere to these policies for your
personal information as a former customer.
