1. Use of Information |
Our current policy is to refrain from selling, leasing, or otherwise transferring your personally identifiable information, however, this policy does not apply in all cases and this policy may be changed in the future. We describe below some of the situations in which such information may be disclosed.

2. Information That Is Personally Identifiable |
We collect information that is personally identifiable through the purchasing process when processing your order. When a User completes an order, the format will require personally identifiable information for each proposed insured, including:
- Contact information (examples include name, home address, email address)
- Unique identifiers (examples include credit card numbers)
- Demographic information (examples include zip code, telephone area code, age, birth date, gender, income level, etc.)
The information we have obtained through this process may be used by Belmont Education, in connection with processing your order.
Contact information from the order form is used to send orders and information about our company to our customers. The customer's contact information is also used to get in touch with the visitor when necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings. Unique identifiers are collected from Web site visitors to verify the user's identity and for use as account numbers in our record system.
