Privacy Policy
Our commitment to you
As a HowsMyNanny.com client, you've entrusted to our care not only your hard-earned money but your personal data as well. We recognize that your relationship with us is based on trust and that you expect us to act responsibly and in your best interests. Because your personal and financial data is your private information, we hold ourselves to the highest standards in its safekeeping and use.
This means, most importantly, that we do not sell client information——whether it is your personal information or the fact that you are a HowsMyNanny.com client——to anyone.
Instead, your information is used by us primarily to complete transactions that you request or to make you aware of other services that we offer or sponsor.
The information we collect about you
You provide personal information when you complete a HowsMyNanny.com application. (If you enter information in an online application, we may store the information even if you don't complete or submit the application.) You also provide personal information when you request a transaction that involves HowsMyNanny.com.
In addition to personal information you provide to us, we may receive information about you that you authorize third parties to provide to us. We also may obtain personal information from third parties in order to verify your identity, prevent fraud, or to help us identify products and services that may benefit you.
Personal information collected from any source may include your:
- Name and address
- Names and dates of birth of children
- Name and address of your Nanny
How we handle your personal information
We do not sell information about current or former clients or their accounts to third parties. Nor do we share such information, except when needed to complete transactions at your request. Here are the details:
- In certain instances, we may contract with nonaffiliated companies to perform services for us. Where necessary, we will disclose information we have about you to these third parties. In all such cases, we provide the third party with only the information necessary to carry out its assigned responsibilities and only for that purpose. And, we require these third parties to treat your private information with the same high degree of confidentiality that we do.
- Finally, we will release information about you if you direct us to do so, if we are compelled by law to do so, or in other legally limited circumstances (for example, to prevent fraud).
How we protect privacy online
Our concern for the privacy of our clients naturally extends to those who use our website, HowsMyNanny.com.
- Our website uses some of the most secure forms of online communication available, including data encryption, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, and user names and passwords. These technologies provide a high level of security and privacy when you access your account information, initiate online transactions, or send secure messages.
- HowsMyNanny.com offers customized features that require our use of "HTTP cookies"——tiny pieces of information that we ask your browser to store. However, we make very limited use of these cookies. We don't use them to pull data from your hard drive, to learn your e-mail address, or to view data in cookies created by other websites. We won't share the information in our cookies or give others access to it.
- When you visit our website, we may collect certain technical and navigational information, such as computer browser type, Internet protocol address, pages visited, and average time spent on our websites. This information may be used, for example, to alert you to software compatibility issues or to resolve technical or service problems, or it may be analyzed to improve our Web design and functionality and our ability to service you and your accounts.
How we safeguard your personal information
We restrict access to information about you to those HowsMyNanny.com employees who need to know the information in order to perform their jobs, such as servicing your accounts or notifying you of new products and services. To protect your personal information, we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in keeping with industry standards and practices, and we review and adjust these safeguards regularly in response to advances in technology.
What you can do
For your protection, we recommend that you do not provide your account information, user name, or password to anyone. If you become aware of any suspicious activity relating to your account, please contact us immediately.
We'll keep you informed
As required by federal law, we'll notify you of our Privacy Policy annually. We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time, but rest assured that if we do make changes, we'll tell you promptly.
Revised 9/2006.
