TVF
Privacy policy
|
|
We take
your privacy seriously. Because we gather certain types of
information about our users we want to help you understand
the terms and conditions surrounding the collection and use
of that information. This privacy statement discloses the
types of information we gather, how we use it, and how to
correct or change it. These privacy practices apply to www.thevietnamfiles.com
(TVF), which is operated by us.
|
|
1. What information does TVF collect?
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to
verify available funds for the service we provide. We
collect standard credit card verification information such
as: name, address, phone, and card details including the
CVV2/CVC2 number on the back of the card.
This piece of information is required as it provides
a layer of protection whereby you must have the credit card
in your possession to read the value, or previously wrote
that number down.
|
|
2. How does TVF protect this information?
|
|
From the
moment you click on a link, which opens up a page where we
gather information, whether it is financial or simply
feedback, that information is encrypted using the industry
standard 128-bit SSL security.
You can be sure that if by some minute chance a
hacker/cracker is able to copy that information while it’s
being transferred between our server & your browser,
they will spend the better part of 200 trillion years trying
to decode the encrypted information.
|
|
3. What is TVF's practice regarding cookies?
Your Internet browser has a feature called
"cookies" which stores small amounts of data on
your computer about your visit to our site. Cookies are
required to complete the sign up process & to login and
view the archives. Cookies are used to tell the server that
you are browser ‘4-45578791’ so it will remember that
you already provided your log-in credentials and allow you
to view the archive, or that you’ve already submitted your
contact information & it knows to attach your financial
information to your contact info.
