FreeEquipmentQuotes.com Privacy Policy Last Updated: August 21, 2007 FreeEquipmentQuotes.com ("FreeEquipmentQuotes") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. FreeEquipmentQuotes provides this Privacy Policy to inform you of our practices. Disclosure FreeEquipmentQuotes is not a supplier or dealer of equipment. We are an information facilitator, existing to connect web visitors with third parties that provide equipment. The primary focus of FreeEquipmentQuotes is to help web visitors find companies that offer products or services they are actively seeking. When ordering, registering for, or purchasing products or services from these third parties, users will be entering into an agreement with that party, and not with FreeEquipmentQuotes. In these cases, this privacy policy does not apply; instead, the privacy policy of the third party company actually providing the goods or services will apply. Users are urged to read and understand the privacy policies of these third party companies before entering into agreements with them. We are committed to referring our visitors to companies that share our privacy concerns. FreeEquipmentQuotes, however, cannot control the way these companies use information. We obtain and may sell or share customer identifiable information to a reputable third party when our users have actively requested to be matched with an equipment dealer. We are a free service to web visitors and do not take orders for products, sell products or charge fees of any kind to access our services. Customer Identifiable Information You Choose to Disclose FreeEquipmentQuotes may obtain personal information about our Users, however our website does not automatically capture any personal information identifiable to you. FreeEquipmentQuotes may collect your name, phone number and other personal contact information for contact purposes only. Once you have consented to be matched with up to four equipment dealers by filling out and submitting a form on our website, we use such personally identifiable information only to the extent that we transmit the data to one or more of the reputable equipment companies we are associated with with so that they may contact you to discuss your inquiry and equipment needs. Only your name and contact information are collected by us. This information is sold by us to a relevant pre-screened third party who will contact you in an effort to fulfill your equipment needs. Your information will be shared with a maximum of four entities who we deem best suited to your inquiry based upon the needs you indicate on our online form. By filling out the form on our site, you are consenting to be contacted by up to four equipment dealers. There is the possibility that none of the dealers we contact on your behalf will have the equipment type you desire in inventory, and in this rare case, you would not be contacted by any dealers. At no time and under no circumstances will your personally identifiable information be transmitted to more than four entities. Anonymous (non-personal) Information Anonymous (non-personal) data is aggregated for reporting site usability, performance, and effectiveness. It is used to improve customer experience and usability.
