Information Use

ePassporte is the sole owner of the information collected through its Website, or by facsimile, mail, e-mail, or by any other means. Neither ePassporte nor 24-7 will sell, share, or rent this information to third parties, except as set forth in this Privacy Policy. ePassporte and 24-7 shall release data when required by law, to enforce ePassporte's agreement(s) with you, or to enforce the contract rights of ePassporte's clients.

Information Sharing

ePassporte and 24-7 ensure that your Personal Information will not be disclosed to anyone other than a government institution or authority when required by law or other regulation, except they may disclose your Personal Information to the following parties (?Third Parties?):
- ePassporte's affiliated Merchant Bank and card processors as required to issue pre-paid card and process transactions on a pre-paid card;
- Website owners/operators from which you are purchasing goods and services using ePassporte.

In addition, ePassporte and 24-7 may disclose your user name, name, address, phone number, and e-mail address to non-financial companies, such as companies that perform marketing services on ePassporte?s behalf and retailers with whom ePassporte has a contractual relationship ("Nonaffiliated Third Parties") to provide you information, special offers, and promotions. You may opt-out from these disclosures at any time by following the Opt-Out procedure below.

CHOICE

You may choose whether or not to provide Personal Information to ePassporte. If you choose not to provide the Personal Information ePassporte requests, you can still visit most of ePassporte's Website, but you may be unable to access certain options, offers, and services that involve ePassporte's interaction with you. If you chose to have a relationship with ePassporte, such as a contractual or other business relationship or partnership, you will be required to provide Personal Information in connection with such relationship in order to maintain that relationship.

OPT-OUT

If you prefer that ePassporte and 24-7 not disclose non-public Personal Information about you to Nonaffiliated Third Parties, you may opt out of those disclosures, that is, you may direct ePassporte and 24-7 not to make those disclosures (other than disclosures permitted by law). If you wish to opt out of disclosures to Nonaffiliated Third Parties, you may opt-out at www.epassporte.com when you login to your ePassporte Account. Please note that this opt-out process may take up to thirty (30) days to complete.

SECURITY

ePassporte and 24-7 have implemented security policies, rules and technical measures to protect the Personal Information that they have under their control from unauthorized access; improper use or disclosure; unauthorized modification; unlawful destruction or accidental loss. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) software is used when receiving and transmitting electronic payments. The sensitive information that you provide is encrypted. When ePassporte communicates with its required technology vendors and associated financial institutions, your credit card number is communicated on a private dedicated line of communication.

In addition, ePassporte and 24-7 protect your Personal Information off-line. Access to your Personal Information is restricted. 24-7's facilities are only accessible only through security clearance. All employees and data processors, who have access to and are associated with the processing of Personal Information, are obliged to respect the confidentiality of ePassporte's customers' Personal Information, and your Personal Information is restricted to those employees who need to know your Personal Information to provide products or services to you. ePassporte and 24-7 conduct background and credit checks on all of its employees prior to employment. ePassporte and 24-7 employ a User ID and password scheme in order to limit and achieve access to their computer networks by their employees and Third Parties.

ACCESS/ACCURACY

Access

You may inquire about your Personal Information being held by ePassporte by sending an e-mail to [email protected]. Within five (5) business days, you shall be provided a copy of the Personal Information that is kept about you. You will be charged a $25 processing fee to complete the request. Prior to completing your request, you will be required to provide proof of your identity. ePassporte reserves the right to refuse any request for information, and it will communicate the reason for its decision to you.

Accuracy

To the extent that you provide ePassporte and 24-7 with Personal Information, it must be accurate. Where ePassporte collects Personal Information from you, ePassporte and 24-7's goal is to provide you a means of contact should you need to update or correct that Personal Information. If for any reason those means are unavailable or inaccessible, you may send updates and corrections about your Personal Information to [email protected] or by facsimile, by governmental or private express mail, and all reasonable efforts will be made to incorporate the changes in your Personal Information as soon as practicable.

COOKIES

CHILDREN

ePassporte does not request, or knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 18. ePassporte and 24-7 take specific steps to protect the privacy of children by making reasonable efforts to ensure that a child's parent or legal guardian has authorized the collection and/or distribution to Third Parties of a child's Personal Information. Additionally, to ensure that children's privacy is respected on ePassporte's Website, ePassporte and 24-7 require age verification on every inquiry. Furthermore, ePassporte does not give children the ability to post messages or otherwise distribute information about themselves on ePassporte's Website.

POLICY CHANGES

ePassporte will make reasonable efforts to maintain up-to-date and effective privacy standards and policies. Whenever ePassporte makes changes to these standards or this Privacy Policy we will post a notice of this change at www.epassporte.com.

EFFECTIVE DATE

COMMITMENT
