Company Practices Regarding Your Privacy
We at Prime-Rate.com and our affiliated companies worldwide
are committed to respecting your online privacy and recognize
your need for appropriate protection and management of any
information you share with us by using our web sites.
Prime-Rate.com has established the following Online Privacy Policy so that you can
understand the care with which we intend to treat your information. This policy
describes the overall privacy practices of Prime-Rate.com regarding information we
collect on our network of web sites and through our other Internet advertising
mediums, including but not limited to email, newsletters, and leave-behinds.
This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Prime-Rate.com does
not own or control, or to people that Prime-Rate.com does not employ.
Your California Privacy Rights
California has passed legislation requiring certain specific disclosures be made
available to California residents who use the Internet and provide information
that may be used for marketing purposes. That legislation requires any business
that discloses a customer's personal information (as defined by the act) to any
third party for direct marketing purposes to provide the customer a method for
obtaining the names, addresses and certain other specified details of anyone
who might have received that personal information.
If you are a California resident you may request this information from Prime-Rate.com
or any of its affiliates by writing to us via email at info@quinstreet.com or
you may send us correspondence at the following address: Prime-Rate.com, Attn: Privacy,
1051 E. Hillsdale Blvd, 8th Floor, Foster City, CA 94404. Prime-Rate.com is not obligated
to respond to more than one such request from a customer per calendar year.
Information Collected by Prime-Rate.com
Non-Personally Identifiable Consumer Information
Prime-Rate.com collects various types of information from you to better meet your
needs and to provide you with a more relevant user experience. Some of this information
is collected automatically through cookies (a small text file placed on your
computer) or other Internet tracking technologies. The type of information your
browser or Internet session may automatically provide us with can include the
browser you are using, your Internet domain, the operating system on your computer,
your IP address and the URL you saw just before coming to the Prime-Rate.com site,
the pages of the site you visited and the URL of the page you visited upon leaving
the site.
Prime-Rate.com may also contract with reputable third-party advertising companies
to serve ads on our behalf. These companies may also use cookies or other measures
to collect your non-personally identifiable information.
Personally Identifiable Consumer Information
In addition, at some of the Prime-Rate.com web sites, we collect information that
you may choose to provide to us when requesting additional information from us
or from one or more of our clients. Examples of personally identifiable data
that you may provide to us include name, address, and email address. If you provide
personally identifiable data to us, you may later elect to have your information
deleted from our files, or kept from being used for purposes other than for the
service requested, by following the opt-out procedures set forth below.
How Collected Information is Used
The non-personally identifiable information that Prime-Rate.com collects is used
for marketing and sales efforts to better target advertisements and other content
in an effort to create a more personally relevant experience. The information
is also used to predict responses to advertisements, and to help determine which
ads perform best and which content is most appropriate for different individuals.
If you elect to provide Prime-Rate.com with personally identifiable information,
we may utilize such information for marketing purposes, and this use may result
in follow-up communications from Prime-Rate.com and from our clients. In addition,
that information may be combined with information collected from other sources
to assist with targeting ads to your preferences and behaviors, and for other
Prime-Rate.com sales and marketing efforts.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
All personally identifiable information you provide is maintained in confidence
by Prime-Rate.com. There are instances, however, in which your personally identifiable
and non-personally identifiable information is shared with third parties, as
described below.
Your non-personally identifiable data may be shared with third-party partners
of Prime-Rate.com on an anonymous basis.
When you request information from Prime-Rate.com or one or more of our clients, we
may transfer that information within Prime-Rate.com or route your information to
our client(s), across borders and from your country or jurisdiction to other
countries or jurisdictions around the world, so that they may provide the information
on their product or service that you requested.
We may also disclose information to a third party who provides substantially
similar services as the original service about which you requested more information.
In such situations, we will provide you with an opportunity to opt-out of such
sharing. Please be aware that Prime-Rate.com is very careful in selecting companies
with whom it does business.
In addition to the above situations where your information may be shared with
others, there is also the possibility that Prime-Rate.com, or part(s) of the company,
may one day be purchased by, or merged with, another company. In the event of
such transaction, the acquiring (or merging) company will have access to all
collected personally identifiable information.
Finally, Prime-Rate.com may share your information as necessary to comply with a
court order or to cooperate with government and law enforcement officials.
Security
Wherever your personally identifiable information may be held within Prime-Rate.com
or on its behalf, we intend to take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect
the information you shared with us from unauthorized access or disclosure. Please
note that while Prime-Rate.com will make every reasonable effort to protect your
information, no transmission of data over the Internet is 100% secure.
