THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT

There are two kinds of information web Websites can obtain about you: Anonymous Information: Anonymous Information is aggregate data that Websites use to administer their Websites. It may include such information as your browser type or your Internet Protocol (IP) address. Pacific City Escrow, Inc. may from time to time retain third parties to help us collect and aggregate Website customer information.

IP Addresses – An IP address is unique string of numbers that is assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer our Website, to gather broad demographic information and also to help in identifying click fraud or identity fraud.

Cookie Information – As is the case with virtually all Websites, our Website uses a technology called “cookies”, which are small data files that are downloaded onto your computer. The use of cookies is standard on the Internet, and allows us to tailor your visits to our Website to your individual preferences. We may also contract with third party service providers who assign cookies to conduct Website tracking for us. These companies use cookies solely to provide us with aggregate data about visitor traffic behavior patterns. Although most web browsers automatically accept cookies, you can change your browser to prevent cookies or alert you whenever you are sent a cookie.

Personally Identifiable Information: Personally Identifiable Information is any information that personally identifies you, such as your name, email address or your telephone number. Sometimes this personal information is needed when you register to obtain a quote through pacificcityescrow.com, subscribe to our email newsletter, or when you contact us. We may ask you to provide us with personal information on a voluntary basis in certain areas of our Website. In particular, you may be asked to provide the following information:

Registration/Qualification Forms – When you complete a qualification form on this Website, you will need to provide personal and financial information such as your name, phone number, e-mail address, income and other financial information depending upon the service you are requesting a quote for. This information is then used by professionals who can provide these services to you. Your information is made available only after you click on the “Submit”, “apply” or similarly worded button typically located at the bottom of a website form. By submitting your information to Pacific City Escrow, Inc. you are giving us permission to contact you now and in the future. We may contact you directly via phone, e-mail or other communications, REGARDLESS OF YOUR STATUS ON THE DO NOT CALL LIST (DNC).

HOW WE USE COLLECTED INFORMATION

The information you share with us may be used in a few ways: Anonymous Information: Anonymous Information is used internally for Website administration, troubleshooting and to help improve the quality of the web pages. We may share such aggregated, non-personally identifiable information, such as demographics, with existing and prospective business partners and advertisers. We never connect aggregate information with Personally Identifiable Information, and none of the aggregate information we share will contain any information that identifies you individually.

Personally Identifiable Information: Personally Identifiable information collected by Pacific City Escrow, Inc. may be used for purposes including administration of the Website and direct communications with you. In all cases, however, we will use your information only as permitted
by law. We may also disclose Personally Identifiable Information if we are required to do so by law or we in good faith believe that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law or with legal process; (b) protect and defend our rights and property; (c) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Website; or (d) protect the personal safety or property of our users or the public. Please note that we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.

OPT-OUT

If you receive email regarding an inquiry you have submitted via pacificcityescrow.com and you would like to opt-out of future emails follow the opt-out instructions included at the bottom of every email delivered on our behalf.

ACCESS AND CORRECTION

You have a right to know about the personal information that Pacific City Escrow, Inc. holds about you, including the right to correct, amend or delete the information that Pacific City Escrow, Inc. has on file if it is incorrect. If you wish to exercise these rights please contact us by email at admin@pacificcityescrow.com

SECURITY

This Website incorporates appropriate safeguards to protect the security, integrity, completeness, accuracy and privacy of the personal information we have collected. We have put in place reasonable precautions to protect information from loss, misuse and alteration, including database encryption. While we use Database encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information off-line. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as required and only authorized individuals have access to the information you provide. Security of information communicated by or to us over the Internet is of utmost concern to us; however, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Please note that your email, like most, if not all, non-encrypted Internet communications, may be accessed and viewed by other Internet users, without your knowledge and permission, while in transit to us. For that reason, to protect your privacy, please do not use email to communicate information to us that you consider confidential. While we strive to protect your personal information Pacific City Escrow, Inc.. cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or through our Website, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our internal systems. Depending on the nature of the inquiry, your communication may be discarded or archived. If you wish, you may contact us instead via telephone at the numbers provided throughout our Website.

DISCLOSURE OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION THROUGH BUSINESS

As we continue to develop our business, we may buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses, and in so doing, acquire customer data. In such transactions, customer data may be among the transferred assets. Similarly, in the unlikely event that a portion or substantially all of Pacific City Escrow, Inc.’s assets are sold or transferred to a third party, customer information (including your email address) would likely be one of the transferred business assets.

OUR COMMITMENT TO CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Protecting the privacy of children is very important to us. The Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”) defines a “Child” as anyone under the age of 13. Pacific City Escrow, Inc.. strictly adheres to COPPA. For that reason, we do not collect or maintain information obtained through our Website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our Website is structured to attract anyone under 13.
