2. SECURITY
This Site has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of the information under our control. We follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is one hundred percent (100%) secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

The information you send to us may be stored and used to improve this Site, the Services, our others products, or it may be reviewed and discarded.
4. THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS
We may at times provide information about you to third parties to provide various services on our behalf, such as processing credit card payments, serving advertisements, conducting contests or surveys, performing analyses of our products or customer demographics, shipping of goods or services, and customer relationship management. We will only share information about you that is necessary for the third party to provide the requested service. These companies are prohibited from retaining, sharing, buying, selling, storing or using your personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes. When you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number) on such third party order forms that we utilize, your information will be encrypted using secure socket layer (“SSL”) technology provided by the third party payment or service provider.
In order to provide certain Services to you, we may on occasion supplement the personally identifiable information you submit to us with information from third party sources (e.g., information from our strategic partners, service providers, or the United States Postal Service). We do this to enhance our ability to serve you, to tailor our products and services to you, and to offer you opportunities to purchase products or services that we believe may be of interest to you.
5. GOOGLE ANALYTICS AND COOKIES
We may use tools such as Google Analytics to collect information about use of this Site, such as how often users visit the Site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this Site. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this Site, rather than your name or other identifying information.
Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this Site. This cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google, Inc. The information generated by the cookie will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
We use the information received from Google Analytics only to improve services on this Site. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information.
Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this Site is restricted by the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this Site by disabling the Google Analytics cookie on your browser.
We also use one or more pieces of tracking code or “cookies” in order to provide improved services to our users. Cookies are stored by your web browser on your computer’s hard drive to assign a unique identification number or code to your device. We do not store personal or private information in any cookies. We may use cookies to help direct you to the appropriate location of our web site, by noting that you have previously visited our website.
You may delete or block FastMarkIt’s cookies through your browser’s cookie manager. This function is usually found in the preferences section of your web browser. If you do not want FastMarkIt or other websites to use cookies, you may disable them altogether from within your browser. Some parts of our website do not require cookies to be functional. It is important to note that disabling cookies or deleting them will disable auto-login, may reset your immediate session, and may adversely affect other functionality offered on our website and Services.
6. SERVICES TERMINATION
When your Services are cancelled (either voluntarily or involuntarily), all of your personally identifiable information is placed in “deactivated” status with our third party billing partners and on our relevant FastMarkIt databases. However, deactivation of your account does not mean your personally identifiable information has been deleted from our database entirely. We will retain and use your personally identifiable information as necessary in order to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.
