Privacy Policy

Portcard.net takes your privacy very seriously. Your identity information is kept private from other Internet users. What we do provide is a confirmation that your registered username has been authenticated by Portcard.net.

Your identity information, and the identity information of anyone registered on your account, will be made available to law enforcement or other governmental officials, in response to a verified request relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity. This could occur in the event there is an issue, problem, or other need to learn your registration information; or a need to enforce our policies, or to respond to claims that a listing or other content violates the rights of others, or a need to protect anyone's rights, property, or safety. Thus, we may disclose information about you if we determine in our discretion that due to law enforcement, national security or other needs of public importance, that disclosure is necessary.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to other marketers. We collect and store the personal information you provide, and the identity information of anyone registered on your account, as well as the information you provide regarding payment for your registration.

We will provide your identity information, and the identity information of anyone registered on your account, to governmental entities, our partners, or to other entities that we contract with, in order to verify the information provided. We do this to assure accuracy and to protect against fraud and identity theft.

Portcard.net takes precautions — including administrative, technical, and physical measures — to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal information is required. To register with Portcard.net you must use an SSL-enabled browser such as Safari, Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later, or Internet Explorer. Doing so protects the confidentiality of your personal and credit card information while it’s transmitted over the Internet.

Portcard.net communicates these guidelines to its employees and strictly enforces privacy safeguards within the company. In addition, Portcard.net supports industry initiatives — such as the Online Privacy Alliance and TRUSTe — to preserve privacy rights on the Internet and in all aspects of electronic commerce. We do not knowingly solicit personal information from minors or send them requests for personal information. In fact, it is against our registration requirements for children under 18 to register without a parent.

Portcard.net has safeguards in place to keep your personal information accurate, complete, and up to date for the purposes for which it is used. Naturally, you always have the right to access and correct the personal information you have provided.

We may also share your personal information with other business entities, should we plan to merge with or be acquired by that business entity. (Should such a combination occur, we will require that the new combined entity follow this privacy policy with respect to your personal information. If your personal information will be used contrary to this policy, you will receive prior notice.)
