1. Website Privacy Policy
Information Collection
When you browse the Melissa Data Web site, you do so anonymously.
Personal information -- including your E-mail address-- is not
collected. On certain pages, however, we may request that you
voluntarily supply us with personal information, including your
E-mail address, name and billing address, for purposes such as
newsletter sign up, making a purchase, using Lookups, or
participating in beta tests, and online surveys.
Information Use
We may use information you have given us to provide a service,
ensure proper billing, measure consumer interest in our various
services and inform you about products and services. These offers
may be based on information you provided in your initial transaction
with us. We do not sell or share our customer information with
outside sources.
Security
We use secure technology to keep your personal information-including
your billing and account information-as secure as possible.
Employees are educated about the importance of customer privacy, and
we have procedures that limit employee access to personally
identifiable information.
Credit Card Orders
When ordering through our Web site, all of your personal information
and credit card details are encrypted before being transmitted to us
across the Internet. None of your information is stored on our Web
server or any other machine that can be accessed through the
Internet.
Virus Free Downloads
We at Melissa Data go to great lengths to ensure that any product
that you download from us is virus free. All our products are
checked for viruses before we securely place them on our Web site.

2. APIs and Web Services Privacy Policy
Data Protection
We understand that your data is a valuable asset to your business,
and we promise to keep your information secure and confidential. We
safeguard data according to established industry security standards
and procedures, and we continually assess new technology for
protecting your information.
Data Collection
Melissa Data web service solutions collect only client IP address,
customer ID and number of records processed as part of standard
logging procedures. This information is used to track actual usage
and compare with purchased tiers. We may occasionally enable a
verbose logging mode on request from customers to capture request
information used solely by our data quality engineers to
troubleshoot technical issues. This information is seen on an
as-needed basis by our engineers and then destroyed when the
technical issue is resolved.
We do not sell or distribute any information submitted by a customer
for data verification web services or processed through local data
quality APIs.
Data Security
Our technology keeps your information safe. When you send us
confidential or sensitive data using our site, your information is
safe and secure. Every time you send us information, we mandate that
a “secure session” first be established using Secure Socket Layer (SSL).
After we receive your information, we process it on a secure server
with firewalls.
Changes to Privacy Policy
The Website Privacy Policy may be amended at any time, so please
check back periodically.
