Security measures.
We protect the personal information you share with us. For example, if you give us your social security number, it will be secured in our database until it is not needed then discarded. Access to your personal information is limited to people who need it to do their job.

Authorized third party agents may also need access to some of your personal information. For example, if we need to collect Motor Vehicle information, we must share your name, address, driver's license, and date of birth with an MVR reporting company. We only provide third party agents with the minimum amount of information needed to complete the requested service or transaction. We do not otherwise share your personal information with third parties, unless you have granted us permission to do so.

Data Retention.
We will not retain your personal information longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Linked web sites.
We provide links to third party sites. Since we do not control these Web sites, we encourage you to review the privacy policies posted on these (and all) third party sites.

Children's privacy.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have personal information on a child under the age of 13, we will delete that information from our systems. We encourage parents to go online with their kids. Here are a few tips to help make a child's online experience safer:

• Teach kids never to give personal information, unless supervised by a parent or responsible adult. Includes name, address, phone, school, etc.
• Know the sites your kids are visiting and which sites are appropriate.
• Look for Web site privacy policies. Know how your child's information is treated.
