Privacy
Policy
Welcome
to the Formations House Privacy Policy. In the course of operating
this website and providing a service to our customers, we collect
certain personally identifiable information from our customers.
Because the privacy of our users is of utmost importance to us,
we have implemented procedures to safeguard the information provided
by our customers.
You are not required to provide information on this site unless
you wish to use our services. If we are going to use your personally
identifiable information in a manner different from that stated
at the time of collection we will notify you by email. You will
have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in this
different manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in
our privacy practices that do not affect user information already
stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our web
site notifying users of the change, prior to making such changes.
Your use of our services indicates that you have understood and
accepted our Policy.
Information Collected by the Formations House Website
In order to provide business services to its customers, Formations
House collects the following personally identifiable information:
name, address, telephone number, fax number (optional), e-mail,
credit card number, social security numbers (mandatory for users
requesting cash commissions). Our site also automatically logs a
user's IP address. This information is necessary to set up and maintain
individual customer accounts, update users with Formations House
service-only related information, bill credit card companies, issue
PINs for customer use, track the use of accounts, allow customers
to access their individual account, prevent unauthorized access
to individual accounts and ensure security. The customer information
is collected solely for internal purposes. The customer information
is not released to third parties, except strictly as needed to complete
a transaction on behalf of the customer, such as a credit card company.
Formations House has been assured that any personally identifiable
information released in the course of completing transactions will
not be retained, shared, stored or used for secondary purposes.
Formations House will not otherwise disclose customer information,
unless acting under the good faith belief that such action is necessary
to conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process.

Out of respect for our users, we do not send marketing communications

House are in regards to their account. These communications are
not promotional in nature thus users cannot opt out of receiving
them.

Security
We have instituted stringent procedures to ensure utmost privacy
and confidentiality to the customer data collected by us both on-line
and off-line. When a customer enters information on the site, that
information is encrypted and protected with SSL (Secure Socket Layer),
the best encryption software in the industry. The encryption strength
is 128 k, the maximum permissible by law. Look for the lock icon
at the bottom right hand side of your browser. Its presence indicates
that our site is secure.
Off-line, the data provided by our customers are maintained in a
secure database, accessible only by means of a key card issued to
authorized personnel. The building itself is protected by 24-hour
security service. Access by Formations House staff to confidential
customer data is permitted only in the presence of a supervisor.
No confidential customer information may be removed or transmitted
from the physical office site.
