Privacy Statement

As a consumer reporting agency governed by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) among other applicable state and federal laws, ECommerce Positioning is committed to protecting your privacy.

This Privacy Policy covers ECommerce Positioning’s web site, and ECommerce Positioning’s practices for handling personal information provided to ECommerce Positioning over the Internet by the general public using ECommerce Positioning’s publicly available web site. ECommerce Positioning will collect, store, and use personally identifiable information only in compliance with applicable law, including the FCRA.

Information Collection

When you browse ECommerce Positioning’s publicly accessible web site, you do so anonymously. ECommerce Positioning collects personally identifiable information from you only if you choose to provide this information to us. In some instances, ECommerce Positioning may collect non-personal (e.g., aggregate or demographic) data through cookies. This information is used to better understand and improve the usability, performance and effectiveness of the ECommerce Positioning.com web site, as is further described below under “Cookies and Tracking Technology”.

The types of personal information we may collect about you through our publicly accessible web site include the following (should you decide to provide such information to ECommerce Positioning): (a) contact and identifying information (e.g., name, address, e-mail address, phone and fax numbers, employer(s), job title) in connection with your expression of interest in receiving information about, or your registering for, ECommerce Positioning products or services, newsletters and conferences; (b) your resume information and employment application information in response to ECommerce Positioning job openings; and (c) any other personal information that you may voluntarily provide to us in an online form or through an e-mail.

Access to certain ECommerce Positioning web pages and online services by ECommerce Positioning’s clients and their employees and job applicants is not available to the general public and requires a login code and password provided by ECommerce Positioning. The use of those web pages, and the information downloadable to and from those pages, are governed by a written agreement between ECommerce Positioning and its clients. On these web pages, ECommerce Positioning collects only information that the user voluntarily shares with ECommerce Positioning.

If you are using this web site to open an employment screening account with ECommerce Positioning, we collect the information requested on our account application form, including contact information and financial information (such as credit card number or billing information). This information is used for internal purposes, such as account establishment, billing, fulfillment of orders and customer service.

How We Use Your Personal Information

When your personal information is collected on ECommerce Positioning’s publicly accessible web site, ECommerce Positioning will inform you at the point of collection of the purpose for the collection. ECommerce Positioning will use your personal information only in the way we specify when it is collected unless you consent to a different use.

For example, ECommerce Positioning may use personal information submitted in an account application to set up and maintain your account. ECommerce Positioning also may use the personal information you provide to answer your questions and inquiries, to support ECommerce Positioning’s own recruitment activities in response to your inquiries into ECommerce Positioning’s job postings, and to provide newsletters and other information (if any) that you have requested.

If you have provided your personal information over this web site in connection with a background screen ordered by ECommerce Positioning’s client - your employer or prospective employer - ECommerce Positioning may use your personal information to perform your background screen for that client. ECommerce Positioning will not use your information to conduct a background screening investigation and create a report unless ECommerce Positioning’s client completes a certification required by the FCRA and any other applicable law. In this certification, ECommerce Positioning’s client certifies to ECommerce Positioning that it has a legally permissible purpose for ordering the background screen, and that it has, to the extent required by applicable law, obtained your informed consent to conduct the background screen.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

ECommerce Positioning does not sell or rent personal information to third parties. ECommerce Positioning will not disclose your personal information to a third party without your permission, except as described in this Privacy Policy.

ECommerce Positioning may disclose personal information as necessary or appropriate in connection with any of the purposes for which we use personal information as described above in “How We Use Your Personal Information”.

ECommerce Positioning also may in good faith disclose personal information and any other additional information available to ECommerce Positioning for any of the following purposes: (i) investigate, prevent or take action regarding actual or suspected illegal activities or fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or violations of ECommerce Positioning’s terms of use; (ii) respond to or defend against subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process; (iii) establish or exercise ECommerce Positioning’s legal rights; or (iv) otherwise comply with applicable law.

ECommerce Positioning may acquire other businesses, and other businesses may acquire ECommerce Positioning. If that occurs, the information ECommerce Positioning collects may be one of the assets examined or transferred as part of the transaction. ECommerce Positioning will not permit another business to examine the information ECommerce Positioning has collected without a confidentiality agreement and only to the extent permitted by law. ECommerce Positioning will not transfer the information it has collected unless the recipient agrees to provide privacy protections equal to or exceeding those established by this Privacy Policy.
