| Verifia
is committed to its customers, web visitors and
other constituents in protecting the privacy of
an individual’s personal information that
is collected via Verifia’s marketing efforts,
our web site, and our TiP or InfoScope products.
In accordance with best business practices, we
have conferred with privacy and security resources
and have communicated to each Verifia employee
the importance of an individual’s privacy.
Verifia believes in protecting an individual's
private information. Our IP-based geolocating
technology and the company’s behavioral
profiling technology do not identify personal
or otherwise sensitive information such as your
street address or phone number and we do not attempt
to link any of our geographic data with any personally
identifiable information about a particular user.
The IP-based information that we gather is dynamically
generated and only used to analyze and report
network traffic patterns. Verifia’s technology
does not store a web visitor’s information
or build user profiles. Customer information,
as well as the information provided for our analyses,
will not be disseminated, transferred, or shared
with any other entities without a party's prior
written consent.
Nor does Verifia reveal to third parties or resell
any information about those individuals who chose
to email the company with personal information
or who register personal data such as their e-mail
addresses onto our company web site (www.Verifia.com).
In addition, our clients are established organizations
with their own privacy policies geared towards
safeguarding customer privacy. And Verifia will
not contact you without your explicit permission
(by your act of voluntary registration on our
web site, for example).
Furthermore, no Verifia employee can view or
otherwise retrieve your passwords or other personally
identifiable information other than what a person
has entered upon voluntary registration to our
corporate web site. Access and usage of this personal
information is limited to stated business purposes
and this data is not resold or redistributed outside
of official Verifia operations.
If you have any questions regarding our privacy
policy, contact us at privacy@verifia.com.
Privacy Procedures
Verifia’s technology actually enhances a
user's web capabilities while being less intrusive
than current intelligence methods such as cookies
and required user registration. Moreover, Verifia
maintains personal privacy standards in the deployment
of its technology and in all practices.
- Verifia's technology is non-invasive.
- Verifia's technology does not collect or identify
a user's personal information. The technology
does not utilize registration or click-stream
data. There is no collection of personal data
such as name, home or e-mail address on the
part of Verifia.
- Verifia's business focuses on the prevention
of identity fraud and data privacy. Verifia's
pledge is to support web sites in providing
the best service and experience to their web
visitors by enabling more content to be available
on the web and by providing the means for a
more relevant, customized user web experience.
- While Verifia prides itself on serving respected
clients who practice better business practices,
Verifia does not control the privacy policies
of its customers, and therefore cannot prevent
customers from merging geographic information
with data collected from non-Verifia sources.
For this reason, we encourage you to carefully
examine the privacy policies of Web sites you
frequent.
The Handling of Corporate
& Personal Information
Verifia does not collect your personal data. Information
requested on our corporate web site at www.Verifia.com
is entirely voluntary, at the discretion of a
user who wishes to receive ongoing news about
Verifia. This requested information includes name,
e-mail address, phone number. Passwords and user
names are not required for the use of our site
or for the receipt of additional company information.
Any information gathered through our corporate
web site will be used to provide you with information
about material developments within Verifia, as
per your request through the act of registering
on our web site.
Methods of Information
Collection
Personal information provided voluntarily by an
individual to Verifia through the www.Verifia.com
corporate web site is an opt-in process, solely
at the discretion of the individual registering.
Information gathered by Verifia's technology may
include the country, state (where applicable),
city, zip code, company, and Internet access method
associated with the particular IP address from
which you are using the Internet. This information
is dynamically generated to provide network traffic
patterns and is not stored by Verifia for the
creation of user profiles. Nor does Verifia identify
or record where individual users come from before
they enter a particular web site, or where they
go after they leave that site.
Your personally identifiable information will
never be sold or shared by Verifia with any affiliated
or unaffiliated third parties, except in unusual
circumstances as required by law. For example,
in a legal case, Verifia may be required by law
to confirm that you had registered on our web
site, or that your IP address is based in a certain
country. Or Verifia may share information to a
third party in order to protect and defend the
rights and property of Verifia, its customers,
partners, or other affiliates. Verifia reserves
the right to share aggregated information of a
non-personal nature with third parties.
Moreover, any email that you send to Verifia
will be considered confidential to within the
company and its affiliates, unless you have expressly
provided us with permission to forward the email
to unaffiliated parties.
The Handling of Personal
Information – Data Protection & Security
Verifia understands the need for our constituents'
personal data to be completely secure and private,
and we have deployed a robust system to protect
our customer's personal information. The company
maintains physical (alarm systems, locks), electronic
(firewall) and policy (limited internal access,
privacy and safety guidelines) safeguards to protect
any personal information. Moreover, we do not
create user profiles and registered users may
choose to remove themselves from the Verifia database
and mailing list at any time.
The Application of This
Privacy Policy to Third Parties Using Verifia's
Software
This Privacy Policy only applies to Verifia and
the company web site, and not to sites that employ
the company's technology. Verifia does not accept
responsibility for the actions and policies of

regard to the personal information you have provided
to them, or which you have implicitly authorized
by allowing for the storage of cookies on the
hard drive of your computer(s).
You should be careful to review any privacy policies
posted on third party web sites before signing
up with or using them. While Verifia prides itself
on partnering with quality organizations who engage
