Registration
In order to use certain areas of Velocity Funding LLC websites, a user must first
complete the registration form. During registration a user is required to give their
full contact information. This information is used to evaluate the application and
contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed
interest. In order for this website to properly fulfill its obligation to our customers, it
is necessary for us to supplement the information we receive with information from
3rd party sources. For example, to determine if our customers qualify for our
service as an ISO, we use the name, driver's license, and social security number to
request a credit report for use in evaluating the creditworthiness of the applicant.
Order
At certain Velocity Funding LLC websites, we request information from consumers
making purchases from our registered merchants within our shopping cart and
order processing interfaces. Here a user must provide contact information (like
name and shipping address), financial information (like credit card number,
expiration date), and identity information (like social security number or Federal
Tax ID). This information is used to fill customer's orders, for billing purposes, and
to verify the identity of the consumer to protect against fraud. If we have trouble
processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information
about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable
information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie
simply terminates.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement,
and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are
not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We partner with other parties to provide specific services. When the user signs up
for these services, we will share names, or other contact information that is
necessary for the third party to provide these services. These parties are not
allowed to use use nonpublic personally identifiable information except for the
purpose of providing these services. We do not otherwise disclose nonpublic
information to anyone, except as permitted by law.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we, Velocity
Funding LLC, are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We
encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy
statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this
Web site. Operators may be subject to the FTC's privacy regulations and if so, (i)
the FTC's regulations contain sample disclosures that operators may consider; and
(ii) operators may be required to send annual notices in addition to initial
disclosures to their customers.
Security
This website takes precautions to protect our users' information. When users
submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both
online and off-line. When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive
information (such as credit card number, social security number, and/or Federal
Tax ID), that information is encrypted and is protected with SSL encryption
software. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the
bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just
'surfing'. While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we
also protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information, not just the
sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees
who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk
or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable
information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they
leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password to re-gain
access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on
our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies
are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we
place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers' information is
protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on
are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked door or cage.
If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email
to info@velocityfunding.com .
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service announcement updates. We may close your
account and/or refuse additional services if Members un-subscribe from service
announcements, which contain important information about the service. We
communicate with the user to provide requested services and in regards to issues
relating to their account via email, fax, or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user's nonpublic personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip
code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way
to correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided to us. This can
usually be done in writing via fax to 781-762-4782 or by emailing our Customer
Support Department for more instructions at info@velocityfunding.com .
Opt-out Requirements
As provided in this policy, we only provide your nonpublic personal information to
a nonaffiliated third party in conjunction with the services that you have requested
that we provide to you. All nonaffiliated third parties to whom we disclose your
nonpublic personal information are contractually prohibited by us to disclose or
use the information other than to carry out the transactions that you have
requested. Accordingly, there is nothing for a user to opt out of with respect to how
we currently use their non-public personal information.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our
Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we
use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to
use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the
time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email or US mailing so as
to enable users to 'opt-out' if we use their information in this different manner. We
will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the
information was collected.
