Privacy
Policy
At
TradesFactor, our members and what matters to them powers all of the
decisions we make, including how we gather and respect your personal
information.
We've
crafted the policy below to be as clear and straightforward as
possible. Our aim is for you our members to always feel informed
and empowered with respect to your privacy on TradesFactor.
Introduction
Last
revised on June 1, 2016
We are a
professional network for the skilled trades and a SaaS management
tool for employers.
TradesFactor's
mission is to connect skilled trades workers, the companies that
employ them and the organizations that train them. Our registered
users ("Members") share their professional identities, engage
with their network, exchange knowledge and professional insights,
post and view relevant content, and find career opportunities.
Content on some of our services is also visible to unregistered
viewers ("Visitors").
We protect your
personal information using industry-standard safeguards.
We may share your
information with your consent or as required by law, and we will
always let you know when we make significant changes to this Privacy
Policy.
Maintaining
your trust is our top priority, so we adhere to the following
principles to protect your privacy:
-
We
protect your personal information and will only provide it to third
parties: (1) with your consent; (2) where it is necessary to carry
out your instructions; (3) as reasonably necessary in order to
provide our features and functionality to you; (4) when we
reasonably believe it is required by law, subpoena or other legal
process; or (5) as necessary to enforce our User Agreement or
protect the rights, property, or safety of TradesFactor, our Members
and Visitors, and the public.
-
We
have implemented appropriate security safeguards designed to protect
your information in accordance with industry standards.
This
Privacy Policy applies to TradesFactor.com, mobile applications and
all other TradesFactor websites, apps, developer platforms and other
products and services (collectively the "Services"). We may
modify this Privacy Policy from time to time, and if we make material
changes to it, we will provide notice through our Service, or by
other means so that you may review the changes before you continue to
use our Services.
If
you object to any changes, you may close your account. Continuing to
use our Services after we publish or communicate a notice about any
changes to this Privacy Policy means that you are consenting to the
changes.
1.
What information we collect
1.1.
Data Controllers
Our Privacy Policy
applies to any Member or Visitor. We collect information when you use
our Services to offer you a personalized and relevant experience,
including growing your network.
The
the personal information provided to or collected by our Services is
controlled by TradesFactor Incorporated, 9051 Florida Mining Blvd,
Suite 105, Tampa, FL 33634.
If
you have any concern about providing information to us or having such
information displayed on our Services or otherwise used in any manner
permitted in this Privacy Policy and the User Agreement, you should
not become a Member, visit our websites, apps or otherwise use our
Services.
If
you have already registered, you can close your accounts.
We
collect your personal information in the following ways:
1.2.
Registration
When you create an
account with us, we collect information (including your name, email
address, and password).
To
create an account on TradesFactor, you must provide us with at least
your name, email address and/or mobile number, and a password and
agree to our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy, which
governs how we treat your information. You may provide additional
information during the registration flow (for example, your postal
code, job title, and company) to help you build your profile and to
provide you more customized services (for example: language-specific
profile pages, updates, content, more relevant ads and career
opportunities). You understand that, by creating an account, we and
others will be able to identify you by your TradesFactor profile. We
may also ask for your credit card details if you purchase certain
additional services.
1.3.
Profile Information
We collect
information when you fill out a profile. A complete TradesFactor
profile that includes professional details like your job title,
education, and skills helps you get found by other people for
opportunities.
After
you create an account, you may choose to provide additional
information on your TradesFactor profile, such as descriptions of
your skills, professional experience, and training background.
Subject to the settings you choose, your connections may provide
recommendations and endorsements of you. Providing additional
information enables you to derive more benefit from our Services by
helping you express your professional identity; find other
professionals, opportunities, and information; and help recruiters
and business opportunities find you.
1.4.
Address Book and Other Services That Sync with TradesFactor
We collect
information when you sync non-TradesFactor content � like your
email address book, mobile device contacts, or calendar � with your
account. You can remove your address book and any other synced
information whenever you like.
You
may use our address book or "contacts" importer (or other similar
features) to upload your address book into our Services. We store
this information (including phone numbers) and use it to help you
manage and leverage your contacts in connection with our Services. We
also use this information to enhance your experience with our
Services by helping you to grow your network by: identifying your
contacts that are already Members of our Services; providing a
template to send invitations on your behalf to your contacts that are
not Members; and suggesting people you may know (even if not in your
contacts) but are not yet connected with you on our Services (as we
may infer from your shared connections or shared managers, employers,
educational institutions and other such factors). We may also use
this information to show you and other Members that you share the
same uploaded contacts who may or may not be Members.
Please
note that when you send an invitation to connect to another
individual on our Service (a "connection") or to join our Service
to connect with you, that person may have access to your email
address or, for SMS invitations, mobile number because it may be
displayed in the invitation. After sending these invitations, we may
also remind your invitees of your invitation on your behalf. Your
TradesFactor connections will also have access to your email address.
We
make other tools available to sync information with our Services, and
may also develop additional features that allow Members to use their
account in conjunction with other third-party services.
Any
information that you upload or sync with our Services is covered by
the User Agreement and this Privacy Policy. You can remove your
information at your convenience
using
the features we make available or in accordance with Section 3. You
can remove your address book and any other synced information at any
time.
1.5.
Customer Service
We collect
information when you contact us for customer support.
When
you contact our customer support services, we may have to access your
contributions to our Services and collect the information we need to
categorize your question, respond to it, and, if applicable,
investigate any breach of our User Agreement or this Privacy Policy.
We also use this information to track potential problems and trends
and customize our support responses to better serve you. We do not
use this information for advertising.
1.6.
Using the TradesFactor Sites and Applications
We collect
information when you visit our Services, use our mobile applications,
and interact with advertising on and off our Services.
We
collect information when you use (whether as a Member or a Visitor)
our websites, applications, our platform technology, or other
Services. If you are logged in to our Service or one of our cookies
on your device identifies you, your usage information and the log
data described in Section 1.10 of this policy, such as your IP
address, will be associated by us with your account. Even if you're
not logged into a Service, we log information about devices used to
access our Services, including IP address.
1.7.
Using Third-Party Services and Visiting Third-Party Sites
We collect
information when you use your account to sign in to other sites or
services, and when you view web pages that include our plugins and
cookies.
You
allow us to receive information when you use your account to log in
to a third-party website or application. Also, when you visit a
third-party site that embeds our social plugins, we receive
information that those pages have loaded in your web browser. If you
are logged in as a Member when you visit sites with our plugins, we
use this information to recommend tailored content to you. We will
use this information to personalize the functionality we provide on
third-party sites, including providing you insights from your
professional network and allowing you to share information with your
network. Our retention of this data is addressed in Section 3.2. We
may provide reports containing aggregated impression information to
companies hosting our plugins and similar technologies to help them
measure traffic to their websites, but no personal data.
You
also allow us to receive information about your visits and
interaction with the sites and services of our partners that include
our cookies and similar technologies, unless you opt out. If you are
not a Member, we rely on the online terms between you and our
partners.
1.8.
Cookies
We use cookies and
similar technologies to collect information.
As
described in our Cookie Policy, we use cookies and similar
technologies, including mobile application identifiers, to help us
recognize you across different Services, learn about your interests
both on and off our Services, improve your experience, increase
security, and measure use and effectiveness of our Services. You can
control cookies through your browser settings and other tools.
By
visiting our Services, you consent to the placement of cookies and
beacons in your browser and HTML-based emails in accordance with this
Privacy Policy, which incorporates by reference our Cookie Policy.
1.9.
Log Files, IP Addresses, and Information About Your Computer and
Mobile Device
We collect
information from the devices and networks that you use to access our
Services.
When
you visit or leave our Services (whether as a Member or Visitor) by
clicking a hyperlink or when you view a third-party site that
includes our plugin or cookies (or similar technology), we
automatically receive the URL of the site from which you came or the
one to which you are directed. Also, advertisers receive the URL of
the page that you are on when you click an ad on or through our
Services. We also receive the internet protocol ("IP") address of
your computer or the proxy server that you use to access the web,
your computer operating system details, your type of web browser,
your mobile device (including your mobile device identifier provided
by your mobile device operating system), your mobile operating system
(if you are accessing TradesFactor using a mobile device), and the
name of your ISP or your mobile carrier. We may also receive location
data passed to us from third-party services or GPS-enabled devices
that you have set up, which we use to show you local information on
our mobile applications and for fraud prevention and security
purposes. Most mobile devices allow you to prevent real time location
data being sent to us, and of course we will honor your settings.
In the
case of our Android apps, you will be provided notice of the types of
data (e.g. location) that will be sent to us. If you choose to use
our app after this notice, we process this data to enable
registration or preview product features for you (e.g. jobs near
you). If you choose not to become a Member, we will delete this
information.
1.10.
Other
We are constantly
innovating to improve our Services, which means we may create new
ways to collect information on the Services.
Our
Services are a dynamic, innovative environment, which means we are
always seeking to improve the Services we offer you. We often
introduce new features, some of which may result in the collection of
new data. Furthermore, new partnerships or corporate acquisitions may
result in new features, and we may potentially collect new types of
information. If we start collecting substantially new types of
personal information and materially change how we handle your data,
we will modify this Privacy Policy and notify you in accordance with
Section 4.3.
2.
How we use your personal information
2.1.
Consent to TradesFactor Processing Information About You
You agree that
information you provide on your profile can be seen by others and
used by us as described in this Privacy Policy and our User
Agreement.
The
personal information that you provide to us may reveal or allow
others to identify aspects of your life that are not expressly stated
on your profile (for example, your picture or your name may reveal
your gender). By providing personal information to us when you create
or update your account and profile,
you
are expressly and voluntarily accepting the terms and conditions of
our User Agreement and freely accepting and agreeing to our
processing of your personal information in ways set out by this
Privacy Policy.
Supplying
to us any information deemed "sensitive" by applicable law is
entirely voluntary on your part.
You
can withdraw or modify your consent to our collection and processing
of the information you provide at any time, in accordance with the
terms of this Privacy Policy and the User Agreement, by changing your
account settings or your profile on TradesFactor, or by closing your
account.
2.2.
TradesFactor Communications
We communicate with
you using TradesFactor messaging, email, and other ways available to
us. We may send you messages relating to the availability of the
Services, security, or other service-related issues.
We
communicate with you through email, notices posted on the
TradesFactor websites or apps, messages to your TradesFactor inbox,
and other means available through the Services, including mobile text
messages and push notifications. Examples of these communications
include: (1) welcome and engagement communications - informing you
about how to best use our Services, new features, updates about other
Members you are connected to and their actions, etc.; (2) service
communications - these will cover service availability, security, and
other issues about the functioning of our Services; (3) promotional
communications that may contain promotional information directly or
on behalf of our partners, including job opportunities and
information from companies that are hiring. These messages will be
sent to you based on your profile information and messaging
preferences. You may change your email and contact preferences at any
time by signing into your account and changing the preferences.
Please
be aware that you cannot opt out of receiving service messages from
us.
2.3.
User Communications
With certain
communications you send on our Services, the recipient can see your
name, email address, and some network information.
Many
communications that you initiate through our Services (for example,
an invitation sent to a non-Member) will list your name and primary
email address in the header of the message. Messages you initiate may
also provide the recipient with aggregate information about your
network (for example, how many people are in your network). Other
communications that you initiate through the Services, like a request
for an introduction, will list your name as the initiator but will
not include your personal email address contact information. Once you
have connected with an individual, regardless of who sent the
invitation, your contact information will be shared with that
individual.
We use
automatic scanning technology to help protect you and other Members.
Such technology checks links and other content in your messages,
network updates and Group contributions to help us identify and block
malicious links and malware, reduce spam and optimize the delivery of
our Services.
2.4.
Service Development; Customized Experience
We use the
information and content you provide to us to conduct research and
development and to customize your experience and try to make it
relevant and useful to you.
We use
information and content that you and other Members provide to us to
conduct research and development for the improvement of our Services
in order to provide you and other Members and Visitors with a better,
more intuitive experience and drive membership growth and engagement
on our Services and to help connect professionals to economic
opportunity.
We
also customize your experience and the experiences of others on our
Services. For example, when you sign in to your account, we may
display the names and photos of new Members who have recently joined
your network or recent updates from your connections and companies
you follow. We try to show you content, such as news and
presentations, that is relevant to you, your industry, or your
profession. We also use Members information and content for
invitations and communications promoting our Services that are
tailored to the recipient.
2.5.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
We share your
information across our different Services, among companies in the
TradesFactor family.
We may
share your personal information with our affiliates (meaning entities
controlled by, controlling or under common control with TradesFactor)
outside of the TradesFactor entity that is your data controller as
reasonably necessary to provide the Services. You are consenting to
this sharing.
2.6.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
Any information you
put on your profile and any content you post on TradesFactor may be
seen by others.
We don't provide
any of your non-public information (like your email address) to third
parties without your consent, unless required by law, or as described
in Sections 2.6 and 2.14 of this Policy.
Other people may
find your TradesFactor profile information through search engines
(you can choose which parts of your public profile are accessible to
public search engines in your settings), or use services like Twitter
in conjunction with your TradesFactor account.
We
offer a "public profile" feature that allows you as a Member to
publish portions of your professional profile to the public Internet.
This public profile will be indexed and displayed through public
search engines when someone searches for your name. You may choose
the parts of your profile that search engines index or completely opt
out of this feature in your TradesFactor account settings. However,
third-party search engines may not automatically update their caches,
which may contain old public profile information. Unless you delete
them, your profiles on TradesFactor.com and our corresponding app are
always viewable on the respective Services.
The
visibility of your professional profile to other Members depends on
your degree of connection with the viewing Member, the subscriptions
they may have, their usage of the Services, access channels and
search types (e.g. by name or by keyword).
We do
not rent or sell personal information that you have not posted on our
Services, except as described in this Privacy Policy. We will not
disclose personal information that is not published to your profile
or generated through engagement with our other services, such as
Groups and Company Pages, except to carry out your instructions (for
example, to process payment information) or unless we have your
separate consent, unless we have a good faith belief that disclosure
is permitted by law or is reasonably necessary to: (1) comply with a
legal requirement or process, including, but not limited to, civil
and criminal subpoenas, court orders or other compulsory disclosures;
(2) enforce this Privacy Policy or our User Agreement; (3) respond to
claims of a violation of the rights of third parties; (4) respond to
Member service inquiries; or (5) protect the rights, property, or
safety of TradesFactor, our Services, our Members, Visitors, or the
public. See Section 2.14 for additional details about our compliance
with legal requests for information.
We
support middleware providers that offer archiving solutions to firms
subject to legal and regulatory archiving requirements, which, with
your permission, facilitate the archiving of your communications and
other activity by a third party for compliance purposes. Content
distributed through our sharing features and third-party integrations
may result in displaying some of your personal information outside of
our Services.
Also,
if you have opted to bind any of your Service accounts to your
Twitter, Facebook or other similar account, you can easily share
content from our Services to these third party services, in
accordance with your account settings (which you may change at any
time) and respective policies of these third parties. Further, we
allow third parties to look-up profile information (subject to your
privacy settings) using your email address or first and last name
information through its profile API (see Section 2.7. below).
Third
parties (for example, your email provider) may give you the option to
upload certain information in your contacts stored with us onto their
own service. If you choose to share your contacts in this way, you
will be granting your third party provider the right to store,
access, disclose and use these contacts in the ways described in such
third party's terms and privacy policy.
2.7.
Third Parties Using TradesFactor Platform Services
We work with
developers to build Platform Applications using our developer tools.
Whether you use Platform Applications is up to you.
If you have given a
Platform Application access to your TradesFactor account, you can
revoke that permission anytime. Also, you can opt out of providing
information to developers through your connections.
We
collaborate with and allow third parties to use our developer
platform to offer services and functionality in conjunction with our
Services. These third-party developers have either negotiated an
agreement to use our platform technology or have agreed to our
self-service API and Plugin terms in order to build applications
("Platform Applications"). Both the negotiated agreements and our
API and Plugin terms contain restrictions on how third parties may
access, store, and use the personal information you provide to us.
If you
choose to use a Platform Application, you will be asked to confirm
acceptance of the privacy policy and user agreement of the
third-party developer. To revoke permission granted to a Platform
Application, please visit your settings. Note, however, that even if
you revoke the permission granted to a Platform Application, your
connections may still be using the Platform Application, so the
Platform Application may still have access to certain information
about you, just as your connections do. You may opt out of providing
information to third-party developers through your connections by
accessing the "
Turn
on/off data sharing with third-party applications
"
control in the "Groups, Companies, and Applications" tab under
settings.
2.8.
Polls and Surveys
We conduct our own
surveys and polls and also help third parties do this type of
research. Your participation in surveys or polls is up to you. You
may also opt out of getting invitations to participate in surveys.
Polls
and Surveys may be conducted by us, Members, or third parties. Your
consent to use any personal information for the purposes set forth in
the poll or survey will be explicitly requested by the party
conducting it. You may opt out of participating in surveys by
changing your settings to stop receiving these inquiries and
requests.
2.9.
Search
Our Services help
you search for other professionals, companies, groups, professional
content, and jobs.
You
can search for Members, employment opportunities, information about
companies, and community content from Groups on our Services. We use
personal information from our Services, including Member profiles,
Groups content, and Company Pages, to inform and refine our search
service.
2.10.
Groups
You are responsible
for any information you post on our Services, and this content will
be accessible to others.
If you
participate in Groups, share content on your network update stream,
or import a blog or other content, you should be aware that any
information you choose to disclose using these services can be read,
collected, and used by other Members in these forums, developers, and
other third parties. We are not responsible for the information you
choose to submit in these forums. Your Groups contributions are
typically searchable on our Services and some content in Groups may
be public and searchable on the Internet if the group owner has not
closed the group for public discussions. You can identify closed
groups by the padlock icon next to the group name. You can remove
your Groups posts at any time. However, others may have copied and
used the information that you shared.
2.11.
Talent Recruiting and Marketing Solutions
We offer a premium
service to companies which can be used to search for, organize, and
communicate with potential candidates or offer business
opportunities. In some cases we allow the export of public profile
information. You can control how your information is exported by
changing which parts of your public profile are accessible to search
engines.
We
offer customized people-search functionality along with
organizational and communications tools as part of our talent
recruiting and marketing solutions. These services allow subscribers
- generally, enterprises and professional organizations - to export
information from Members' public profiles, in order to effectively
manage candidate sourcing or manage as an employer. You may limit or
prevent such subscribers from exporting your profile information by
configuring your public profile visibility settings to restrict
access to these fields. We do not provide email or other contact
information to these subscribers. However, if you post that
information as part of your profile it will be available to them and
others. A recruiter or other such subscriber may also manage and
store information it has independently obtained about you outside of
our Services, such as a resume, in connection with our platform. Any
personal information obtained independently of our Services will not
be added by us to your profile and is not under our control but is
subject to the policies of our recruiting and marketing solution
subscriber. We store such information on behalf of such subscriber
who can remove it at any time.
2.12.
Pages for Companies, Schools, and Other Entities
Companies and other
entities can create pages on our Services. If you follow one of these
pages, non-identifiable information about you will be provided to the
page's administrators.
Certain
pages on the Services are public (e.g., company and school pages),
and any communications or information shared through them will be
accessible by the entity that created them. If you follow a person or
organization, you will be listed among its followers, which can be
viewed by others including the page owner. We use aggregate
information about followers and viewers to provide data about such
pages' performance (for example, visits and updates).
2.13.
Compliance with Legal Process and Other Disclosures
We may disclose
your personal information if compelled by law, subpoena, or other
legal process, or if necessary to enforce our User Agreement.
It is
possible that we may need to disclose personal information, profile
information, or information about your activities as a Member or
Visitor when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process,
whether in the United States or other jurisdictions, or if we have a
good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (1)
investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual
illegal activities or to assist government enforcement agencies; (2)
enforce the User Agreement, investigate and defend ourselves against
any third-party claims or allegations, or protect the security or
integrity of our Service; or (3) exercise or protect the rights,
property, or safety of TradesFactor, our Members, personnel, or
others. We attempt to notify Members about legal demands for their
personal information when appropriate in our judgment, unless
prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency.
In light of our principles, we may dispute such demands when we
believe, in our discretion, that the requests are overbroad, vague or
lack proper authority, but do not commit to challenge every demand.
To find out more about how we engage with government requests for
data see our Law Enforcement Data Request Guidelines.
2.14.
Disclosures to Others as the Result of a Change in Control or Sale of
TradesFactor Incorporated
If there is a
change in control or sale of all or part of TradesFactor, we may
share your information with a third party, who will have the right to
use that information in line with this Privacy Policy.
We may
also disclose your personal information to a third party as part of a
sale of the assets of TradesFactor Incorporated, a subsidiary, or
division, or as the result of a change in control of the company or
one of its affiliates, or in preparation for any of these events. Any
third party to which we transfer or sell our assets will have the
right to continue to use the personal and other information that you
provide to us in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy.
2.15.
Service Providers
We may employ third
parties to help us with the Services
We may
employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our
Services (e.g. maintenance, analysis, audit, marketing and
development). These third parties have limited access to your
information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are
obligated to TradesFactor not to disclose or use it for other
purposes.
2.16
Data Processing Outside Your Country
We may process your
information outside the country where you live.
We may
transfer your information and process it outside your country of
residence, wherever TradesFactor, its affiliates and service
providers operate.
3.
Your Choices & Obligations
3.1.
Rights to Access, Correct, or Delete Your Information, and Closing
Your Account
You can change your
TradesFactor information at any time by editing your profile,
deleting content that you have posted, or by closing your account.
You can also ask us for additional information we may have about your
account.
You
have a right to (1) access, modify, correct, or delete your personal
information controlled by TradesFactor regarding your profile, (2)
change or remove your content, and (3) close your account. You can
request your personal information that is not viewable on your
profile or readily accessible to you through TradesFactor's Help
Center. If you close your account(s) your information will generally
be removed from the Service within 24 hours. We generally delete
closed account information and will de-personalize any logs or other
backup information through the deletion process within 30 days of
account closure, except as noted below.
Please
note:
Information
you have shared with others or that others have copied may also
remain visible after you have closed your account or deleted the
information from your own profile. Groups content associated with
closed accounts will show an unknown user as the source. In addition,
you may not be able to access, correct, or eliminate any information
about you that other Members copied or exported out of our Services,
because this information may not be in our control. Your public
profile may be displayed in search engine results until the search
engine refreshes its cache.
3.2.
Data Retention
We keep your
information for as long as your account is active or as needed. For
example, we may keep certain information even after you close your
account if it is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, meet
regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse,
or enforce this agreement.
We
retain the personal information you provide while your account is in
existence or as needed to provide you services. We may retain your
personal information even after you have closed your account if
retention is reasonably necessary to comply with our legal
obligations, meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes between
Members, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce this Privacy Policy and
our User Agreement. We may retain personal information, for a limited
period of time, if requested by law enforcement. Our Customer Service
may retain information for as long as is necessary to provide
support-related reporting and trend analysis only, but we generally
delete or de-personalize closed account data consistent with Section
3.1., except in the case of our plugin impression data (i.e., the
information that you visited on sites carrying our social plugin, but
which you did not click on), which we de-personalize within 7 days
(although we do maintain 30 days worth of webserver logs for
security, debugging, and site stability purposes only) by creating
aggregate data sets that cannot be traced back to individuals.
4.

Changes to this Privacy Policy
We will notify you
when we change this Privacy Policy.
We may
change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant
changes in the way we treat your personal information, or to the
Privacy Policy, we will provide notice to you on the Services or by
some other means, such as email. Please review the changes carefully.

to use our Services, you may close your account(s). Unless stated
otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all information that
we have about you and your account. Using our Services after a notice
of changes has been communicated to you or published on our Services
shall constitute consent to the changed terms or practices.
4.3.
California's Shine the Light Law
We don't share
any of your personal information with third parties for direct
marketing.
California
Civil Code Section 1798.83, known as the "Shine The Light" law,
permits our customers who are California residents to request and
obtain from us a list of what personal information (if any) we
disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the
preceding calendar year and the names and addresses of those third
parties. Requests may be made only once a year and are free of
charge. Under Section 1798.83, we currently do not share any personal

We take privacy and
security seriously and have enabled HTTPS access to our site in
addition to existing SSL access over mobile devices. Also, please
know that the Internet is not a secure environment, so be careful and
select strong passwords.
We
have implemented security safeguards designed to protect the personal
information that you provide in accordance with industry standards.
Access to your data on our Services is password-protected, and data
such as credit card information is protected by SSL encryption when

offer secure https access to the TradesFactor.com website. To protect
any data you store on our servers, we also regularly monitor our
system for possible vulnerabilities and attacks, and we use a
tier-one secured-access data center. However, since the Internet is
not a 100% secure environment, we cannot ensure or warrant the
security of any information that you transmit to us. There is no
guarantee that information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered,
or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or
