Some personal information is gathered when you register. During registration, you may be asked for your name, email address, industry, as well as other information. The more information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better we are able to customize your experience. Once you register, you are no longer anonymous to CRIF BizInsights - you are given a user account and are able to take full advantage of CRIF BizInsights many offerings.
In addition to registration, we may ask you for personal information at other times (including but not limited to) when you enter a lucky draw, contest or promotion sponsored by CRIF BizInsights and/or our many partners; when you make a purchase using CRIF BizInsights services; when you submit a listing for a web site; and when you report a problem with one of our products, sites or services. If you contact CRIF BizInsights we may keep a record of that correspondence. CRIF BizInsights also occasionally asks users to complete surveys that we use for research purposes. Wherever CRIF BizInsights collects personal information we make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy on that page.
Personal information about you may be used by CRIF BizInsights to improve our marketing efforts, to improve our content and product offerings and to make our site more user-friendly or to serve you better. We may use your email address, your mailing address, and phone number to contact you regarding administrative notices, new product offerings, and communications relevant to your use of the site. Information that we maintain about you and information from your current and past activities on the Site, will be used in the event of disputes or troubleshooting.
CRIF BizInsights may, from time to time, send you email regarding our products ad services. In addition, we may occasionally send you direct mail about products and services that we feel may be of interest to you. On some types of CRIF BizInsights promotions, we will ask for your email address in order to update you on your score, entries, and status in prize drawings. When you participate in these types of promotions, you automatically receive promotion-related email. Occasionally, these promotion-related email messages may include targeted advertisements.
In general, CRIF BizInsights will not disclose any of your personal information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances described below. The following describes some of the ways that your information may be disclosed.
Business Partners & Sponsors:CRIF BizInsights may disclose your personal information to business partners or sponsors, but this is specifically described to you prior to data collection or prior to transferring the data.

Some or all data collected during an CRIF BizInsights promotion may be shared with a sponsor. If personally identifying data about you will be shared, we will tell you before we collect or transfer the data.
Many promotions offer opportunities to request additional information from sponsors. By requesting more information, you give CRIF BizInsights permission to transfer your personal information to the sponsor so they can fulfill your request. In many instances, only your email address will be shared. If more information will be shared with the sponsor, you will be notified prior to the transfer.
If you make a purchase from a merchant in an CRIF BizInsights web site, the information obtained during your visit to those stores, and the information you give such as your contact information, are provided to the merchants. This is to enable transactions to take place.
