PRIVACY
POLICY
Privacy is important to us. We recognize that when
you choose to provide us with confidential information about your clients,
patients and your business, you trust us to act in a responsible and ethical
manner. Such information helps us and our partners improve the services
and opportunities available to our users. This privacy policy explains
what types of information about your business we collect when you visit
our Web site. As PRMA grows and we offer more services as well as partner
with more companies to enhance the service, this policy will change, so
please check back periodically for updates.
In
addition to the services generally available on the PRMA Web site, we
offer a business-to-business e-commerce exchange designed for businesses
called Ebiznet. Members of Ebiznet are subject to this policy and special
provisions applicable to Ebiznet as stated herein. Our Web Site contains
links to other Web Sites operated by third parties. PRMA is not responsible
for the privacy practices or policies of such third party Web Sites.

Overview on the Information We Collect
In your registration to become a subscriber, you hereby understand that
the Service is designed for legal, insurance and healthcare businesses,
both large and small. The Service is not intended for use by individual
consumers. The information we request on the Service is business information.
Please do not provide us with personal contact information that is not
related to your business (for example, home address or email address).
Any personal individual information you provide on the Service will be
treated as information that identifies your business.
Registration
Information
Businesses register in order to obtain consulting information and conduct
transactions through the Service. Through our online registration process,
we may collect a variety of information about your business, which may
include (among other things) the company name and type, the name of the
agents registering on behalf of the company, business address, phone number,
email address, Login ID, Member Name and password. We may also request
and collect other information regarding the agent's identification, business
and account from time to time.
Financial
Information
PRMA may require users to supply company information (and in some
cases individual information regarding owners, agents or officers of the
company), financial information such as credit card numbers, other credit
information, social security numbers, tax ID numbers and other business
and financial information.
Remember,
PRMA only collects business information. If individual information is
provided in connection with the Service, we will assume it is, and treat
it as, business information.
Usage
and Transaction Tracking
Whether or not your company registers for the Service, while you are on
our Web site, we automatically track information related to use of the
Service. This information may include (among other things) URL tracking
data, user's browser data, user's IP address, files downloaded or viewed
by the user and user's path through the Web site. We may also track usage
through cookies. A cookie is a small data file written to a user's hard
drive. Cookies may be used to (among other things) allow automated login
and may contain information such as a Login ID or other information about
preferences or Internet use.
We
may save information sent or posted to the Service for a reasonable period
of time. We may collect correspondence sent to us, such as emails or letters.
Polls,
Ads, Surveys and Questionnaires
From time to time, we may survey our users or use other means to question
them, for the purpose of determining user satisfaction with the Service
and investigating whether we can improve or enhance the Service in any
way.
Registration
Information, Usage and Tracking Information and Financial Information
(excluding Login ID and password) are sometimes referred to herein as
"User Information."
How PRMA Uses Information Collected
PRMA may use User Information to improve our marketing and promotional
efforts (including, but not limited to, directly marketing goods and services
that you list on the Service to third parties), to statistically analyze
usage of the Service, to improve our content and product offerings and
to customize the Service's content and layout.
We
may also apply User Information as a means of delivering news (including
promotions for our products or services) that may be of interest to you
or your business. We may use your company's information to deliver data
that, in some cases, is targeted to your or your businesses' interests,
such as targeted banners, new services and promotions. In doing so, we
may combine information we have collected about your business with other
information obtained from our business partners or acquired from public
or private databases, and use and disclose such combined information in
the same manner and for the same purposes as we use the information collected
through your business' use of the Services. We may use email addresses,
mailing addresses or phone numbers to contact users regarding administrative
matters, customer service, billing, collections and the like.
We
may use information we maintain about users, and other information we
obtain from current and past activities of users on the Service, for fraud
detection, credit risk management, dispute resolution, problem troubleshooting,
and enforcement of our User Agreement and other terms and conditions of
the Service.
We
may use the contents of emails sent to us regarding the Service for the
purposes of promoting the Service.
Disclosure to Third Parties
PRMA may disclose User Information in the aggregate to advertisers or
other third parties for marketing, promotional or other purposes. We may
also share User Information that is not aggregated with our business partners
and service providers. Service providers are companies that assist PRMA
in providing the Service to your business, and it is necessary for them
to access User Information in order to provide your business with the
Service. Service providers assist in (among other things) processing data,
clearing financial transactions and maintaining inventory levels on the
site. Our business partners are third parties that assist PRMA in offering
your business products and services that PRMA believes may be useful to
you or your business. For example, we may work with business partners
to offer services such as lines of credit, shipping, escrow and the like,
which may be useful to you or your business and other users. Business
partners (but not service providers) may use User Information for marketing,
advertising or other purposes, subject to their own privacy policies.
Security
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the
correct use of information, PRMA has put in place appropriate physical,
electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information
we collect online. PRMA uses security measures to safeguard the confidentiality
of personally identifiable information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket
Layers ("SSL"). User Information collected by PRMA is stored
on secured servers. However, "perfect security" does not exist
on the Internet.
Changing
Information
After registration, a user will be able to review and correct or update
the following Member Information:
Email address;
Address, city, state, ZIP Code, country, phone number(s) and fax number;
Password; and Credit card information, if supplied.
If any of the above information is changed, PRMA may keep track of and
maintain copies of prior information as well as the new information, but
is not obligated to do so.
Opt-Out Policy
PRMA gives users certain options regarding the use of the contact information
provided. As a user, you may choose not to be notified of services and
offers from PRMA. You may also request that your User Information not
be given to our business partners for the purpose of contacting you regarding
their products and services. Since it is necessary for PRMA to use service
providers in order to provide the Service to your business, you cannot
prevent PRMA from providing User Information to its service providers.
Also, since it is necessary for PRMA to communicate with its Members,
you cannot opt-out of PRMA' use of User Information in order to contact
you regarding administrative matters, customer service, billing, collections
and the like.
Other
Sites and Third Parties
Our policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect.
PRMA does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices
of other sites or third parties to whom you may link from our site.
General
PRMA cooperates with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who
use our Web site or our Services for illegal activities. Therefore, PRMA
responds to subpoenas, warrants or other court orders regarding information
concerning any users. We will, at our discretion, disclose information
if we believe we are required to do so by law, believe that such disclosure
is necessary to protect us from legal liability or believe we should do
so to protect someone's safety or the integrity of the Service.
This
Privacy Policy is subject to the terms of the applicable PRMA Terms and
Conditions. PRMA reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy. Any
changes to this policy will be posted to this page as soon as reasonably
possible. Therefore, please check this page periodically. Use of the PRMA
