WorldWideOCR's commitment to member privacy
To assure our members of our commitment to the privacy of business and
personal information, WorldWideOCR has adopted and complies with this Privacy
Policy in connection with the operation of its business and the delivery of its
services. This policy applies to WorldWideOCR’s handling of any information
transmitted to us electronically, sent by e-mail or otherwise collected in the
normal course of business. This policy does not apply to the practices of any
companies that WorldWideOCR does not own or control, or to people that WorldWideOCR
does not employ or manage.
WorldWideOCR, Inc. is committed to safeguarding the privacy and
security of our members by using AssureBuy and Beanstream.com's transaction and payment
processing services. AssureBuy and Beanstream, along with their partner
companies and members of AssureBuy and Beanstream's
e-community are leaders in providing e-commerce transactions in a secure manner.
The nature of
our business requires that we collect sufficient personal information from you
to process your credit card payment, and that we disclose that information to
our payment service providers AssureBuy and Beanstream. Assurebuy &
Beanstream receive the personal information disclosed for payment purposes
pursuant to their privacy policies which we encourage you to read. We have
assurances from Assurebuy & Beanstream that no use or disclosure of your
personal information is made apart from the use required to process payment. Significant security measures are
in place to protect this data and no information is shared except as provided in
these policies.
WorldWideOCR has posted this privacy policy on the web site so
that buyers will understand WorldWideOCR’s use of personal and business
information.
Information Collected
In order to comply with informational requests made at our web site, and in
order to provide our services to you, transaction and payment processing services, WorldWideOCR is
required to collect and maintain on its systems certain personal and business
information relating to the request or transaction. This information varies by
the nature in which a member utilizes the WorldWideOCR services and may include but
is not limited to name and address, e-mail address, telephone numbers, purchase
information, type of payment, amount of transaction, passwords, shipping
preferences, package tracking information, purchase order numbers, buyer
identification numbers, and other order or buyer information.
Specifically, we require sufficient information about you in order to
identify and authenticate you, and restrict access to only authorized users of
your account and our system.
Additionally, our systems may collect other non-identifying
information, including IP (Internet Protocol) address, operating system and type
of browser software.
How Information is Collected
Personal information is collected on members only. When information is requested at the WorldWideOCR site, the visitor is asked to
complete an on-line request form. During completion of this form, a visitor is
asked to provide contact information, including name and e-mail address. This
information is used to contact the visitor in response to a specific request for
information. In some cases, visitors may be requesting to be added to a mailing
list, which may generate periodic communication from WorldWideOCR.
For transaction and payment processing services, information
will either be collected securely, using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
technology, from an on-line order form, or will be posted to WorldWideOCR’s
payment gateway using SSL encrypted name-value pairs or xml formatted requests.
Under no circumstances does WorldWideOCR ever request transaction related
information through any means that is not secure and encrypted.
Other transaction and service related information may be
obtained by telephone, facsimile transmission, e-mail, or in person by WorldWideOCR
personnel. All such information obtained in the normal course of business is
subject to this privacy policy once the information is in the possession of WorldWideOCR.

encrypted and not viewed, used or usable by WorldWideOCR.
