TitleThirteen.com Privacy Statement
Thank you for visiting www.TitleThirteen.com
(our “Site”), a service made available by Title
Thirteen, Inc., a California Corporation
("TITLE13"). We appreciate the opportunity to
interact with you on the Internet and are
committed to protecting and safeguarding your
privacy. The purpose of this Privacy Statement
is to inform you about the types of information
we might collect from you when you visit our
Site, how we may use that information, whether
we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you
have regarding our use of, and your ability to
correct that information.
What Information We Collect and How We Use It
Any information we collect on our Site generally
falls into the following two categories:
Personally Identifiable Information and
Aggregate Information.
1. Personally Identifiable Information:
This refers to information that lets us know
specifically who you are. In general, you can
visit our Site without telling us who you are or
revealing any Personally Identifiable
Information. You may, however, voluntarily
provide Personally Identifiable Information
(such as name, e-mail address, and country of
origin) for us to contact you, including via
e-mail, to respond to your comments or
inquiries. In such event, we might maintain a
record of your contact, including such
Personally Identifiable Information, in a file
specific to you. We use this information to
provide better service in the event you contact
us again.
2. Aggregate Information:
This refers to information that does not by
itself identify you as a specific individual.
Such information would include the Uniform
Resource Locator ("URL") of the Web site that
referred you to our Site, your Internet Protocol
("IP") address (a number automatically assigned
to your computer whenever you surf the Web),
your operating system and browser type, and any
search terms that you enter on our Site. Our
Web server aggregates this information in order
to monitor the level of activity on our Site,
evaluate its effectiveness, and improve the
content of our Site in order to make your visit
an easy and enjoyable experience.
We may collect, compile, store, publish,
promote, report, or otherwise disclose or use
any Aggregate Information, provided that, such
information does not personally identify you.
We do not correlate any Personally Identifiable
Information with the Aggregate Information that
we collect on our Site. If we do correlate any
Aggregate Information to you, it will be
protected like any other Personally Identifiable
Information under this Privacy Statement.
Sharing Your Information
Except as disclosed in this Privacy Statement,
we do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise
retransmit any Personally Identifiable
Information we collect online unless we have
your permission. Any Personally Identifiable
Information you provide to us will be stored in
our databases in the United States.
We may share Personally Identifiable Information
you provide online with other TITLE13-related
entities and/or trusted business partners with
whom we collaborate, as well as those that
provide services to our Site. Where we engage
non-affiliated third-party agents or
contractors, we require them to also observe the
intent of this Privacy Statement.
From time to time, we may be required to provide
Personally Identifiable Information in response
to court order, subpoena, or government
investigation. We also reserve the right to
report to law enforcement agencies any
activities that we in good faith believe to be
unlawful. We may release Personally Identifiable
Information when we believe that such release is
reasonably necessary to enforce or apply our
Terms of Use or to protect the rights, property,
and safety of others and ourselves.
Should TITLE13 or its related entities merge
with or be acquired by another business entity,
you should expect that we would share some or
all of your Personally Identifiable Information
to companies serving you and other users of our
Site.
Your Choices
Your permission is always secured first. We
will not use or share the Personally
Identifiable Information collected on our Site
in ways unrelated to the purpose for which you
provided the information, including those
described above, without providing you a choice
whether to permit any such unrelated uses.
Accessing and Correcting Your Information
We take reasonable measures to ensure that any
Personally Identifiable Information we collect
on our Site is accurate, current, complete, and
reliable for its intended use. If you wish to
update or otherwise correct Personally
Identifiable Information you have provided to
us, you may contact us as described in the "Contact
Us" section, below.
Protecting Your Information
We acknowledge your trust and are committed to
take reasonable steps to protect Personally
Identifiable Information you provide online from
loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. We
employ physical, electronic, and managerial
processes to safeguard and secure your
information.
