Third Party Intermediaries

Business Transitions
In the event FBCI goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users' personal information will, in most instances, be part of the transaction, not as an asset, but as the data security responsibility of the resulting entity. Users will be notified prior to a change of ownership or control of their personal information. At no time will the users' personally identifiable information be used in any manner outside of that which has been stated and agreed to by the user.

Links
FBCI's Web sites may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that FBCI is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our sites and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by FBCI's Web sites.

Surveys
Periodically, our site may request information from users via surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes demographic information and experience in product satisfaction. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of FBCI's services. Users' personally identifiable information is not shared with third parties.

Security
FBCI takes every precaution to protect its users' information. When users submit sensitive information via FBCI's Web sites, their information is protected both online and off-line.

When our registration/order forms ask users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption protocol in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as information update forms, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer and FireFox becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are just 'surfing'.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also employ security measures to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is encrypted within the database using acknowledged 128 bit AES encryption which the preferred method of encryption for the Department Of Defense. All information and data is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerks or a customer service representatives) are granted access to personally identifiable information such as name and in some cases address. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are in a highly secure environment.

Supplementation of Information
In order for FBCI to properly fulfill its obligations to users it is necessary for us to supplement the information we receive with information from 3rd party sources. FBCI verifies the billing address on all credit card transactions and may obtain various other reports for some corporate customers. The information obtained from these third party sources is maintained in a manner consistent with FBCI's Privacy Policy.

Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as zip code, phone, email or postal address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we provide a way for the user to correct, update or delete/deactivate users' personally identifiable information.

Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes in this privacy statement, and other places we deem appropriate, so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
