| Retailfile has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses the information-gathering and dissemination practices for our Web site at www.Retailfile.com. We use your Internet protocol (IP) address to help diagnose problems with our server, as well as to administer our Web site. Your IP address is used to help identify you and to gather broad demographic information. We may use your IP address to help protect Retailfile, our partners and customers from fraud. For system administration purposes, we also log IP server addresses and catalogue traffic patterns through our site and our members' sites.

| Our site uses cookies to identify your session only and to save your username so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit our site. You have the option to accept or reject the cookie, and your choice will not affect your ability to access our site. The only difference in our site's features if you reject the cookie will be that you will have to re-enter your username each time you visit our site.

| The registration form and other application forms require users to provide us with contact information (such as their name and e-mail address), financial information (such as their bank account or * credit card numbers) and demographic information (such as their zip/postal code). We use customer contact information from both forms to send the user information about our company, as well as to contact the user when necessary (such as when a customer attempts payment with an expired credit card). Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the section entitled "Choice/Opt-Out" below. Financial information that is collected is used to bill the user for products and services, as well as to verify the user's identity and to prevent fraud. |

| Please note for online payments Retailfile uses SSL Secure Server Technology, the same security standard as used by Banks and Financial Institutions, so you can shop with confidence. Please note the padlock will appear on your desktop tools as soon as the forms ask for your credit card details. All credit card transactions are processed by WorldPay so we have no access to any credit card details or any other confidential financial information. |

| If a visitor chooses to apply for information, we share the visitor's submitted information with our customers (product and service suppliers) who use the submitted information to process and enquirers requirements, to evaluate the user's eligibility and to process the booking/rental transaction. These customers may have their own privacy policies that apply to the handling of users' personal information received from visitor applications. Advertisers overseas are subject to laws and regulations that operate within the actual location of their property. These laws and practises often differ from those of another country; it is the responsibility for each advertiser to seek professional third party professional advice regarding contracts and liabilities. Although we contractually require them not to disclose confidential consumer information to others, we have no direct control over their information-handling practices. |
