you for visiting the AcceptSafe™ - NetMerchant Club Web site. AcceptSafe™ has
designed its Privacy Policy to inform you about our current data collection and how we
use your personal information.
From time to time, AcceptSafe™ may, without notice, modify
or eliminate all or a portion of this Privacy Policy.
The Privacy Policy
is available on the home page of the AcceptSafe™ - NetMerchant Club Web
site. From time to time, you may click to other AcceptSafe™
Web sites or pages that have different privacy policies. When
this happens, you may review the privacy policies that relate
to those pages or sites.
We
obtain personal information that is needed to provide you
with our goods and services.
When AcceptSafe™ collects information directly from
you, we obtain this personal information in order to provide
you with our goods or services, to provide customer service
and to fulfill any legal or regulatory requirements. We also
obtain personal information as a result of consumers' financial
transactions with AcceptSafe™ or with AcceptSafe™
merchants. When we obtain information about consumers and
merchants from third parties, we use sources that we believe
are reputable, including public repositories.
The
only personal information we collect is information you provide
us.
The only information
we collect about you is information that you provide us. This
information may include, for example, your name, mailing address,
e-mail address and telephone number. If you supply us with
personal data and request information from us, we will contact
you to provide you with the information you requested. We
may also contact you to follow up on your job opportunity
inquiries, or we may send you other information about AcceptSafe™ and its products or services that we believe you
would find interesting or helpful.

in accordance with the terms and conditions in our applicable
merchant agreement. When AcceptSafe™ engages vendors
and other outside contractors, they are subject to our contractual
requirements. For purposes of credit reporting, verification
and risk management, we may share information about you with
third parties. We also will disclose information in response
to a request issued by a court, government agency or regulatory
authority.

we collect about you.

direct customer relationship with you, we will strive to make
information available to you about the general uses of the
information we collect. This information is made available
at the point of sale, through privacy notices on our Web sites,

means specified by applicable state and federal laws. In addition,
when AcceptSafe™ obtains personal information about
consumers indirectly through our merchants, we require our
merchants to provide these consumers with their own timely
and complete privacy notice.
We
strive to give you choices about how your information will
be used.

personal information as part of our direct relationship with
