(www.serviskey.net)

This policy was last modified on February 21, 2012.
 

This policy covers the web site www.serviskey.net (owned and operated by ServisKEY Network, Inc., herein referred to as "ServisKEY") and applies to two distinct user groups applicable to the activity on this site: consumers submitting a Project posting (herein referred to as “Consumers”); and contractors, service professionals, or distributors responding to a posted Project (herein referred to as “Suppliers”). Collectively referred to as "Users" for the purposes of this policy. "Project" refers to any new construction, renovation, or service maintenance needs for consumer owned or managed property - a request for such services posted by a Consumer.

We value each and every customer relationship. Customers such as you have entrusted us with their personal and financial information. To protect and maintain this relationship, we've adopted a privacy and security policy to maintain the confidentiality of the information you've shared with us.

To demonstrate our commitment to our Users privacy, we disclose the following information:

  • what personally identifiable information ServisKEY collects;
  • what personally identifiable information third parties collect through the web site;
  • what organization collects the information;
  • how ServisKEY uses the information;
  • with whom ServisKEY may share User information;
  • what choices are available to Users regarding collection, use and distribution of the information;
  • what types of security procedures are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of information under ServisKEY control;
  • how Users can correct any inaccuracies in the information.
Information Collection and Use

ServisKEY is the sole owner of the information collected on our web site. ServisKEY collects information at several different points on our web site.

A User must provide the click stream information (internet protocol address, internet service provider, platform type, date/time stamp, operating system), http protocol information (last URL requested and browser type), interaction information (browser interaction such as when the mouse moves over an image), interactive data (account activity), navigation and click-stream data (passive activity such as pages visited), state management mechanisms (data allowing a User to be tracked consistently).

It is optional for the User to provide Financial Information, Online Contact Information, User's Name and User's Login Information. We encourage Users to provide optional information so we can provide a more personalized experience on our site. The reason we use this information is to complete the current transaction, enhance our site and product offerings and maintain and secure our site. We retain this information for an indeterminate period of time.

Cookies

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the User's computer tied to information about the User. For the session ID cookie, once Users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the User's hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions. You can set your browser to notify you to either accept or deny the cookie according to the following information. Our web site uses cookies to enhance our site. Cookies allow us to keep track of your Project Portal preferences and other Account or session specific information. On subsequent visits, we will access this cookie, so you don’t have to reenter your personal information each time you revisit.

Profiles

ServisKEY does not automatically generate user profiles. Account information is created based on User input, when requested by the User.

Communications from the Site

Customer Service:
Users may be contacted from time to time in the case of special promotions or system updates, or if there is a problem with a User's account. ServisKEY does not use or create mailing lists.

Project Notifications:
As part of the functionality of this web site, Suppliers will receive automated email notifications of posted Projects as may apply to your area of expertise and zone(s) of service. Consumers will in turn receive automated email notifications of responses from targeted Suppliers.

Sharing Information

Personally identifiable information:
Personally identifiable information is not shared with any third parties. The use of certain services and features of the web site will result in the disclosure of personal information to other registered Users. When you choose to respond to a Supplier who has indicated interest in a posted Project, or as a Supplier submit a response to a posted Project, such User will receive your name and contact information. Likewise, as previously indicated, any communication submitted by you on the web site through the use of the Consumer or Supplier Projects portal will be accessible to other Users of the web site, with access to the posted Project. Personal information required for Project submission and responses will therefore be communicated to Users who access such Projects.

Financial Information:
We may collect financial information such as your credit card number, expiration date, and the like, for the purposes of accessing premium, paid for, aspects of our service. Such information is then forwarded to our payment gateway for processing. You may also be asked to provide information about your annual sales volumes or estimated Project budget (the provision of this information is strictly optional). Other than the above, we do not retain any such personal information of a financial nature about you.

Legal Disclaimer:
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information to outside parties when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our web site.

Prior to submitting any sensitive information, insure the page/form you are using is indeed secured by checking for a lock icon in your browsers status bar.
