We Keep
Personal Information Private...
And We Limit Our Use Of
Personal Information you may provide in visiting our
site which falls into two broad categories: personally
identifiable information, and aggregate information.
“Personally Identifiable Information” is information that
can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name,
email address, or mailing address. “Aggregate Information”
is information that does not identify you, and may include,
for example, statistical information concerning the Web
pages on our site that users visit most frequently. Our
Privacy Policy governs both categories of information. The
information we receive depends upon what you do when you
visit our site, as detailed below.
We do not share with
unrelated third parties any Personally Identifiable
Information you provide to us. By “unrelated third parties”
we mean anyone who is not directly involved in the
maintenance or running of our site, or not involved in
fulfilling requests you make at our site. We use Personally
Identifiable Information you provide to us when you visit
our site strictly for the purposes for which you have
provided it. DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE INTERNET AND
DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGIES, WE CANNOT, HOWEVER, PROVIDE
ASSURANCES AS TO THE SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION, AND
SBICAmerica, LLC
EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY SUCH OBLIGATIONS.
Exception
To Our Privacy Policy
There is an exception to
our Privacy Policy in that it may be necessary for
SBICAmerica, LLC to release or use Personally Identifiable
Information if we in good faith believe it is appropriate in
connection with legal proceedings, or in response to a
subpoena, warrant, court order, levy, attachment, order of a
court-appointed receiver, or other comparable legal process,
including subpoenas from private parties in a civil action.
Correcting Information;
Opting Out
If at any time you would
like us to update or correct Personally Identifiable
Information you have previously provided to us, feel free to
contact us via this website, and we will update or correct
your Personally Identifiable Information to the extent your
request does not compromise our privacy policies. In
addition, if you request, we will use commercially
reasonable efforts to remove your name and Personally
Identifiable Information from any database(s) we may
maintain. Please understand, however, that it may be
impossible to remove this information completely, due to
backups and records of deletions. If you with to remove your
