Privacy Policy

Fifth Walk LLC ("ClientChecker", “ClientChecker.com”, "BillingTracker", "BillingTracker.com", "us", or "we") maintains high standards for the protection of the privacy of users of the ClientChecker.com site, BillingTracker.com site, BillingTracker application, and various related services that we provide (together referred to as the "Site"). This Privacy Policy contains important information about how we may use and disclose personal information about you. Please read it carefully. You should also read our Terms of Service, which governs your use of the Site.  

We review our privacy practices from time to time. Please bookmark and periodically review this page for updates to our Privacy Policy. To contact us about privacy issues, to report a violation of our Privacy Policy, or to raise any other privacy-related issue, please use the Contact Us page to submit your message, with the word “Privacy” in the header.  

ClientChecker will not sell, rent, or otherwise share or disclose personally-identifiable information about you to or with others except as allowed by this Privacy Policy.  

The term "Third Party" used in this Privacy Policy means any entity other than ClientChecker.  

Information About You  

Information You Provide. You supply basic information when you register for the Site: your name, e-mail address, your city, country and zipcode, your profession, and the username and password you select. Later, we may request further information when you seek to use certain areas of the Site (the specific information depends on the particular area). You can use parts of the Site without providing any personal information (or even registering), but you won't be able to take full advantage of what the Site can offer you and your business.  

You also supply personally-identifiable information in other ways. A few examples are when you: customize your account, fill out an order form or survey, communicate with our Customer Satisfaction team, and so on.  

Minors. The Site is not targeted to users under eighteen (18) years of age. If you are under 18, please do not register for the Site or provide any information about yourself on the Site.  

Information We Collect. We may also collect information based on your use of the Site. For example, when you use the Site, we may collect your IP address, operating system, and browser version used for that visit. We may also use "cookies" -- small text files placed on your computer's hard drive. These cookies don't contain any personal information, except for your name and username if you've registered so we can personalize your visit. Only ClientChecker can access a cookie that we place. You don't need to have your browser accept cookies to use the Site generally, but you won't be able to use certain areas of the Site if you don't.  

Cookies we place serve several purposes: 1) to recognize you when you return to the Site, and as you move within the Site, which lets us customize your visit and offer convenience; 2) to authenticate you as a Site user, necessary for security; 3) to better understand how our users use the Site, which helps us make the Site more useful for you.  

How We Use Information About You.  

We may use personally identifiable information in a number of ways:  

·         To communicate with you about your account, or to communicate information about the Site. For example, we will occasionally send members important notices or information via e-mail.  

·         To personalize various aspects of the Site.  

·         To build higher-quality, more useful services, such as by analyzing usage trends, and by measuring demographics and interests regarding specific areas of the Site.  

·         To provide you with prompt and effective customer service.  

·         To support the operation of the Site (such as billing, account maintenance, and record-keeping), troubleshoot problems, resolve disputes, and enforce our Terms of Service.  

·         To send you newsletters, promotional messages, product announcements, and other communications from ClientChecker that we feel may be of interest to you. You may "opt out" of receiving most of these materials, as described below.  

We may disclose personally identifiable information about you to Third Parties as follows:  

·         With your consent.  

·         As is inherent in the operation of a Site feature you use. For example, your username or handle may appear publicly when you submit a post to a discussion board after logging in if you do not choose to make the posting anonymous.  

·         To our contractors and consultants, and our professional advisors (such as our accountants or attorneys). For example, we outsource certain "back end" processes, such as credit card processing. We only disclose the personal information necessary for them to provide their services to you or to us, and only under strict confidentiality restrictions.  

·         To other credit bureaus.  When you provide payment data about your clients, we forward this on to other credit bureaus along with your details.  The credit bureaus generally keep this information anonymous. In the event that a client company questions their credit rating, the credit bureau has the ability to go back to the source of the payment data for clarification. 

·         As we believe necessary to: (a) comply with law (including court and governmental orders, and civil subpoenas); (b) enforce or apply our TOS and other agreements; or (c) protect the rights, property, or safety of ClientChecker, our users, or others. This may include exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.  

·         If you partake (or we reasonably suspect that you are partaking) in any illegal or potentially illegal activity. We may disclose personal information even without a subpoena, warrant, or other court order, to the extent we feel is necessary to inform, and cooperate with, law enforcement agencies or other appropriate authorities.  

·         In connection with a sale or transfer of ClientChecker. If ClientChecker or substantially all of its assets are acquired, user information will of course be one of the acquired assets.  

·         In aggregated form, i.e., information about multiple users collectively without identifying any individual user, such as the total number of visitors to one of the Site's sections in a given week.  

·         Due to circumstances beyond our control. Despite the stringent precautions we take to protect your personal information (see Security of Your Personal Information, below), the unfortunate fact is that there is simply no such thing as a perfect security system. Also, we have no control over the Internet in general. As a result, even though the risk is extremely low, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized persons will never gain access to private transmissions or information, or that private information will never be disclosed in ways not covered by this Privacy Policy.  

"Opting Out": Registering for the Site entitles you to receive the ClientChecker.com Newsletter (and other topical newsletters that we may develop), as well as other offers and communications that we feel may be of interest. You may choose at registration to "opt out" of receiving these materials from us. You may also opt out at any time after that by contacting us via the Contact Us page, by typing “privacy” in the header, or by following the instructions contained in most communications. Note that even if you opt out, we may still send you official ClientChecker announcements and notices relating to the Site, your account, and other non-commercial matters. You may also continue to receive material from us for several weeks due to programs already in progress. Opting out only applies to communications from ClientChecker; we cannot control what communications Third Parties might send based on information that they already have.  

Third-Party Use of Personal Information. 

ClientChecker encourages all entities with which we do business to act in a manner consistent with our Privacy Policy, and otherwise to handle personal information in a responsible manner. However, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Privacy Policy, we cannot be responsible for any acts or omissions of any Third Party, including the manner in which they use personal information received from you, ClientChecker, or elsewhere. If you do encounter any Third Party associated with ClientChecker (or who claims association with ClientChecker) who you feel is improperly collecting or using information about you, please contact us via the Contact Us page, using the word “Privacy” in the header.  

Other Web Sites. Portions of the Site may involve linking to, or using, other web sites, including co-branded or other affiliated sites, and web sites belonging to Third Parties. These often include their own privacy policies. Unless we explicitly state otherwise, we have no control over these other sites and their privacy practices, and this Privacy Policy applies to information you supply (or that we collect) solely in connection with use of the Site. If a co-branded site doesn't include its own privacy policy, this Privacy Policy will apply to ClientChecker’s use and collection of information, and the Third Party's policy will apply to the Third Party's use and collection of information.  

Other Users. If you disclose personally identifiable information on the Site (such as on a discussion board or in a chat room), be aware that others could collect that information and use it to send you unsolicited e-mail, or for other purposes. Please be careful about disclosing personal information in "public" places or to people you don't know well.  

E-mail. ClientChecker.com will not inspect, or disclose to others, the contents of messages sent through any private e-mail function of the Site except with the specific consent of the sender or recipient, or (where necessary) in the narrowly-defined situations established under law.  

Changing or Deleting Personal Information.  

Registered users may view certain personally identifiable information by selecting the "My Account " page. For security reasons, you will not be able to see your credit card number (if you have supplied one) or your password.  

Security of Your Personal Information.  

We take stringent precautions to protect your personal information. When you submit sensitive information via the Site, your information is protected both online and off-line.  

Whenever sensitive information (such as a credit card number) needs to be transmitted to or from the Site, that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry, known as Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL").  

We also protect your personal information off-line. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information.
