VendorPal has created this privacy statement ("Statement") in order to demonstrate our commitment to user privacy. Privacy on the VendorPal web site (the "Site") is of great importance to us.

We require customers who register to use the services offered on
our Site (collectively, the "Service") to give us contact

the customers VendorPal administrator.
Except as we explicitly state at the time we request information, or as
provided for in the VendorPal Subscription Agreement, we do not disclose to
third parties the information provided. All financial and billing information
that we collect through the Site is used solely to check the qualifications of
prospective users and to bill for the Service. This billing information is not
used by VendorPal for marketing or promotional purposes.
Users of the Service will be using the Site to host data and information

When you interact with the VendorPal Website we strive to make
that experience easy and meaningful. When you come to our Web site, our Web
server sends a cookie to your computer. Cookies are files that Web browsers
place on a computer's hard drive and are used to tell that a user is authorized
to access the VendorPal services.
Standing alone, cookies do not identify you personally. They merely recognize
your browser. Unless you choose to identify yourself to VendorPal, you remain
anonymous to VendorPal. Cookies come in two flavors: session and
persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during an online
session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser software
or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer
after you've closed your browser or turned off your computer.
VendorPal uses session cookies containing encrypted information to allow the
system to uniquely identify you while you are logged in. This information
allows VendorPal to process your online transactions and requests. Session
cookies help us make sure you are who you say you are after you've logged in
and are required in order to use the VendorPal application. VendorPal does
not use persistent cookies. Users who disable their Web browsers' ability to
accept cookies will be able to browse our Website but will not be able to
successfully use our Service.
Our Site has security measures in place to help protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the Data under our control. When our Site is accessed using Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 5.5 or higher or Mozilla Firefox version 5.0 or higher, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology protects information using both server authentication and data encryption to help ensure that Data is safe, secure, and available only to you. VendorPal also implements an advanced security method based on dynamic data and encoded session identifications, and hosts the Site in a secure server environment that uses a firewall and other advanced technology to prevent interference or access from outside intruders. Finally, VendorPal administrators provide unique user names and passwords that must be entered each time a user logs on. These safeguards help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of Data.
