Introduction
Private Trade Dollar System Inc ("The System") has a strong commitment to providing excellent service to all of our clients. Above all, we respect their concerns about privacy. We understand that visitors to our website may have questions about how these Websites ("the Sites") collect and use information. Accordingly, we have prepared this statement to inform you of the privacy principles that govern the Sites.
Browsing the Sites
Visitors who browse do so on an anonymous basis. We have not configured the Sites to collect any information from your computer without your input. This means that, unless you voluntarily and knowingly provide us with information, we will not know your identity, your e-mail address, or any other information identifying you.
Information
When we need to collect information from you, we will ask you to voluntarily supply us with the information we need. After information reaches the Sites, it is stored on a secure server that resides behind a firewall that is designed to block access from outside the company. We may also ask you to fill out an online client survey to obtain your suggestions or comments about your use of The System services, or for similar purposes. Providing this information is voluntary.
Internet Protocol (IP) Address
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer every time you browse the Internet. When users request a page from our site, our servers log the user's current IP address. We use IP addresses to help diagnose problems. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. Thus, each user session is anonymous.
Use Of Information
We treat the information you provide to us as confidential information; it is, accordingly, subject to our company's security procedures and strict corporate policies regarding protection and use of confidential information. Information collected from you is used only for the purpose for which the information was collected and is not shared with other companies. The information you provide may be used for direct marketing by The System and we may use the services of a third party mail house for the sole purpose of mailing materials.
Disclosure of Information and Opt-Out.
The System will not sell, trade, rent or release such information to entities outside of the Site without your approval and giving you the opportunity to opt-out.

If you do not wish to receive these cookies, you may set your browser to reject the cookies (consult the instructions for your particular browser on how to do this), although doing so may affect your ability to perform certain transactions on our website.

PTD Newsletter and Opt-Out.

When you participate in The System and provide your e-mail address, we will periodically contact you via e-mail and provide information about The System, special offers and promotions that may be of interest to you. We may use a third party e-mail service provider to send e-mails. This service provider is prohibited from using your e-mail address for any purpose other than to send The System related e-mail. If you do not wish to receive e-mail with updates and information, please unsubscribe. In addition, every time you receive The PTD Newsletter you will be provided the choice to opt-out of future PTD Newsletters.
