YOU-FOUND-IT strives to keep your personal information accurate. We
have implemented technology, management processes and policies to maintain
customer data accuracy. We will provide you with access to your information,
including making reasonable effort to provide you with online access
and the opportunity to change your information. To protect your privacy

- Keeping your information secure
YOU-FOUND-IT is committed to protecting the information you provide
us. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy,
and to ensure the appropriate use of the information, YOU-FOUND-IT has
in place appropriate physical and managerial procedures to safeguard
the information we collect.
We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption when collecting or transferring
sensitive data such as credit card information. SSL encryption is designed
to make the information unreadable by anyone but us. This security measure
is working when you see either the symbol of an unbroken key or closed
lock (depending on your browser) on the bottom of your browser window.
Credit card numbers are used only for processing payment and are not
used for other purposes. As part of real-time payment processing, YOU-FOUND-IT
subscribes to a fraud management service. This service gives you and
YOU-FOUND-IT an extra level of security to guard against credit card
fraud to protect your financial data.
