Privacy Policy

Explait, LLC (herein referred to as "Explait") collects and stores personal information, including the full name, company name (if applicable), billing address, credit card number and expiration date, email address, and source IP address for all customers. In some cases, photographic proof of identity and credit card credentials may be required prior to customer account activation. Inquiries regarding the collection and use of personal information may be made via email to privacy@explait.com, or via postal mail or facsimile using contact information found on our About Us page.

Customer information is stored in electronic databases. Explait employs industry-standard technical safeguards, including but not necessarily limited to encryption of credit card information, password and/or cryptographic key-based authentication controls on servers which house personal information, browser-based SSL encryption, and other storage system access control mechanisms to protect the integrity of internal databases and prevent unauthorized access. Unless otherwise indicated by amendment to this privacy policy, in which case customers shall be notified and given the opportunity to exercise the "opt out" provisions discussed in this policy, personal information is stored only for use according to the purposes for which it was initially collected.

Explait transfers personal information to third parties under the following normal business procedures:

1. Explait discloses the full name, billing address, and credit card account information of its customers to a third party merchant processing provider for billing purposes. Explait does not disclose customer information to other third parties except where required under applicable state and federal laws for purposes of investigation of criminal complaints, or where required by court order.
2. Explait discloses the billing address, network IP address, and a partial credit card number (for issuing bank identification purposes) of customers to a third party as part of the sign-up process for fraud detection purposes.

Customers have access to account-specific personal information stored about them via Explait's web-based interface for account management. Customers may update their information at any time. Customers who cancel their account may request that their personal information be deleted from Explait's databases, with the exception of:

1. network access logs, which may be stored for any duration of time at Explait's discretion,
2. cases where financially fraudulent or otherwise illegal activity is deemed to have occurred (as determined by Explait management or law enforcement officials), in which case personal information may be retained indefinitely for purposes of ongoing investigation and prevention of fraud recurrence, or
3. cases where a customer's violation of the Explait Terms of Service has resulted in cancellation of the customer's account (as defined by revocation of the customer's permission to utilize Explait's services), in which case personal information may be retained indefinitely for purposes of prevention of further use of Explait's services in the future by the offending individual.
