Safe and Secure Payments - Privacy & Security
Making a payment to StorefrontListings.com is 100% safe. When we request personal information from you (such as name, address, phone number and credit card number) it is done on our secure server.

Federal law limits your liability for unauthorized charges to your account. The Fair Credit Billing Act states that your credit card company (creditor) cannot hold you liable for more than $50 in the unlikely event a fraudulent charge occurs on your account.
In the unlikely event of a fraudulent use of your credit card at StorefrontListings.com, you must notify your credit card company in accordance with their rules and procedures.
We realize that consumers are concerned about how the information they provide online will be used. We are committed to protecting your privacy and will use the information we collect about you to process your order or payment, and provide information you request. Please read on for more details regarding our Privacy Policy.

This is required by StorefrontListings.com services to provide automated features.

Collected information helps StorefrontListings.com better understand its users' needs
in order to improve its product and service offerings. Email addresses
are used to communicate with users, send Promotional emails, send Partner emails and for site
administration purposes. Users may be deleted from Promotional
email and Partner email lists at their request. Personal information may

will be under no obligation to monitor, track or save these email messages sent from these tools.
Shared information:
Though StorefrontListings.com makes every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need
to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have
good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current
judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web
site.
StorefrontListings.com shares member information in the following areas on the site:
Listing Service and Email Alerts. When a member
enters a sale or lease listing in the Listing Service, listing contact
information is also entered. During this process, the listing submitter
is able to view other members' contact information when he adds another
contact beside himself to the listing. In addition, members searching
StorefrontListings.com can view contact information (name, email and phone number) when
they view a property listing profile. StorefrontListings.com allows users to share
contact information with one another via its Email Alerts service. With
Email Alerts users can save their property search criteria to have
information about properties that match the specified criteria emailed
to them. When selecting this service, users are given the option of
releasing their contact information to other users who have property
listings that match their criteria. This contact information is then
shared with the users who have property listings that match the buying
or leasing criteria. Unless required by law as detailed in this section
or a user specifically takes action as discussed in this paragraph,
StorefrontListings.com does not share individual user search activity information and
such activity information remains private to the individual user and to
StorefrontListings.com.
StorefrontListings.com shares information with its partners for the purpose of
providing related services in which we deem our users have interest. The
use that StorefrontListings.com's partners make of customer information will not exceed
StorefrontListings.com's use of the data. Key billing information (such as credit card
number, expiration date and dollar amount) gathered from users making
online purchases of products or services is shared with Fifth Third Bank, our
credit card processing partner, in order to authorize charges to the
credit card. StorefrontListings.com also uses third party providers to perform email
and postal mailings on behalf of StorefrontListings.com, but this information (such as
name, address and email) is confidential and is not used by the provider
for any other purpose.
StorefrontListings.com does not sell, rent or lease user information to any third
party, except as disclosed here. From time to time, StorefrontListings.com may obtain
information (such as electronic mail addresses) from third party
providers. It is our goal to only contact individuals who we believe may
have a legitimate business interest in StorefrontListings.com based on their membership
or participation in other organizations or web sites, and who have
indicated a willingness to be contacted for this purpose. While StorefrontListings.com
endeavors to work with other sites and companies with a similar respect
for user privacy, StorefrontListings.com cannot be responsible for the privacy
practices of other sites.
Please be aware that in the event StorefrontListings.com merges with a third party, or
in the event all or substantially all of StorefrontListings.com's assets are acquired
by a third party, customer information, including personally
identifiable information, will be shared and/or transferred to such
third party. The information may only be used or shared by such third
parties for the primary purpose for which the information was originally
collected. If such third parties, or if StorefrontListings.com for its own business
needs, desire to use the personally identifiable information for another
purpose, you will be notified prior to the information being used for a
new purpose, and you will have the opportunity to opt out of such new
use of your personally identifiable information.
