Additional Privacy Information
1. We do not collected any
personally identifiable information through this web site from consumers.
The only data collected or maintained though this web site is form
business that choose to do business with PDS.
2. We use IP addresses to
analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement, and
gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses
are not linked to personally identifiable information We may share
aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers.
This is not linked to any personal information that can identify
any individual person.
3. This website takes
every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit
sensitive information via the website, your information is protected
both online and off-line.
When our registration/order
form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card
number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted
and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry
- SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock
icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and
Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked,
or open, when you are just 'surfing'.
While we use SSL encryption
to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in
our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users'
information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above,
is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information
to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer
service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable
information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers
when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter
their password to re-gain access to your information. Furthermore,
ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.
Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees
are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy,
and what they can do to ensure our customers' information is protected.
Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information
on are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage.
If you have any questions
about the security at our website, you can send an email to nfo@employmentdrugtesting.com
4. In addition all data is
collected, stored and used in compliance with all applicable law,
including the European Union Data Protection Directive, and PDS
through its affiliate, Employment Screening Resources (www.esrchec.com)
is in the process of applying for a "Safe Harbor" certification.
5. All information about
consumers stays within the United Sates in order to be under the
protection of US Privacy laws. The only exception is information
that is necessary to conduct international searches, for those employers
who have received permission from applicants to access information
about employment, education, credentials or criminal records outside
of the United States. In those situations only the data needed to
obtain the information leaves the United States.
6. If we decide
to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our
site so our users are always aware of what information we collect,
how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information
in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected,
we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice
as to whether or not we use their information in this different
