When ordering online, we do not cache, or save, your information if you skip to another page before you submit your completed order. When you submit information it is protected when it is sent over the Internet.

Web Logs And Cookies
Web log information is automatically gathered every time you visit our Web site by the computer that hosts our Web site (called a "webserver"). The webserver automatically recognizes non-personal information, such as the date and time you visited our site, the pages you visited, the Web site you came from, the type of browser you are using (e.g. Internet Explorer), and the type of operating system you are using (e.g. Windows 2000).

Each time you log on to Small Business, our server software sets a unique session ID known as a "cookie." A cookie contains the ID of the backend session that you are interacting with each time you make a new connection to the web server. It is passed back to the server for your subsequent activity, user ID, and criteria set information. The cookies are intended to save you time by allowing you to return to pages previously viewed. They are temporary and will be automatically deleted at the end of each session.

Privacy Policy Changes
Experian reserves the right to change this privacy policy at any time. Therefore, we encourage you to review this privacy policy from time to time to review any changes in our information use practices.
