COLLECTION OF PERSONAL AND OTHER INFORMATION Creditswitch will only collect Personal Information when it's necessary for us to carry out one or more requested functions or activities, or for you to get access to our products or services, and we will only collect it by lawful and fair means. Creditswitch might request additional information from you in order to improve our knowledge of our customers or to conduct direct marketing or invite you to contests. You are free to respond to any such requests for additional information. At or before collection, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are aware of our intention for collecting the Personal Information and for what specified purposes we need such Personal Information. For each visitor to our platforms, Creditswitch web servers automatically recognize and store information which is not normally deemed to be Personal Information, such as the visitor's IP address and domain name. We use user information to understand visitor traffic patterns through the Site for purposes such as enhancing their usability. Your computer provides this user information automatically each time you log on, unless you've activated blocking technology available in some browsers. When you visit the Site we may use so called "cookies" which stores certain user information on your computer and allow us to customize your experience to better match your interests and preferences, or to simply facilitate your sign-in to use the services provided by Creditswitch. Most browsers will allow you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block acceptance of cookies or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. However, if you block or erase cookies, we may not be able to restore any preferences or customization settings you have previously specified, and our ability to personalize your online experience would be limited. Please refer to your browser instructions to learn more about these functions.
