How VIS Uses Information Collected
We may apply User Information as a means of delivering news (including promotions for our products or services) that may be of interest to you or your business. We may use your company's information to deliver data that, in some cases, is targeted to your or your businesses' interests, such as targeted banners, new services and promotions. In doing so, we may combine information we have collected about your business with other information obtained from our business partners or acquired from public or private databases, and use and disclose such combined information in the same manner and for the same purposes as we use the information collected through your business' use of the Services. We may use email addresses, mailing addresses or phone numbers to contact users regarding administrative matters, customer service, billing, collections and the like.

We may use information we maintain about users, and other information we obtain from current and past activities of users on the Service, for fraud detection, credit risk management, dispute resolution, problem troubleshooting, and enforcement of our User Agreement and other terms and conditions of the Service.

We may use the contents of emails sent to us regarding the Service for the purposes of promoting the Service.

Disclosure to Third Parties
VIS may disclose User Information in the aggregate to advertisers or other third parties for marketing, promotional or other purposes. We may also share User Information that is not aggregated with our business partners and service providers. Service providers are companies that assist VIS in providing the Service to your business, and it is necessary for them to access User Information in order to provide your business with the Service. Service providers assist in (among other things) processing data, clearing financial transactions and maintaining inventory levels on the site. Our business partners are third parties that assist VIS in offering your business products and services that VIS believes may be useful to you or your business. For example, we may work with business partners to offer services such as lines of credit, shipping, escrow and the like, which may be useful to you or your business and other users. Business partners (but not service providers) may use User Information for marketing, advertising or other purposes, subject to their own privacy policies.

Security
VIS uses security measures to safeguard the confidentiality of personally identifiable information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers ("SSL"). User Information collected by VIS is stored on secured servers. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet.

Opt-Out Policy
VIS gives users certain options regarding the use of the contact information provided. As a user, you may choose not to be notified of services and offers from VIS. You may also request that your User Information not be given to our business partners for the purpose of contacting you regarding their products and services.
