PRIVACY POLICY

TaxiJustice.com is committed to protecting your privacy when you use the TaxiJustice website (the "Website"). Consistent with all relevant provisions of federal and state law, this Policy describes TaxiJustice’s privacy practices regarding information collected from users of the Website.

This Policy describes what information is collected when you access the Website and how that information is used . Because this Policy only applies to the Website itself and not linked websites, you should examine the privacy policy of any other websites that you access from the Website.

Please carefully read this Policy before submitting any personal information, including your e-mail address, for notification of service updates, initiating an online transaction, providing information with respect to employment opportunities, or for any other reason. Please note that this Policy may change from time to time without special notice to you, so please check back to review the most recent version of this Policy.

For purposes of this Policy, "personal information" means any information concerning a natural person, which, because of a name, number, symbol, mark, or other identifier, can be used to identify that person. TaxiJustice only collects personal information about you when you provide that information voluntarily by sending an e-mail, initiating an online transaction, or submitting information for employment purposes. The information that is available to us from your visit to our Website depends upon which sections of the website you visit and what actions you take during such visit.

Information Collected Automatically When You Visit the MTA Website

TaxiJustice monitors its Website user traffic and patterns, and automatically collects certain non-personal information about your visit such as the internet domain name from which you access the Website, the type of browser and operating system you used, the date and time of your visit, the pages you visit, and the referring web site address, if any. This information is used to improve the content of the Website and to help TaxiJustice understand how users are interacting with the Website. This information is not collected for commercial marketing purposes and TaxiJustice will not sell or otherwise disclose the information collected from the Website for commercial marketing purposes.

Cookies

TaxiJustice may use cookies to track how you visit certain pages on the Website. The use of cookies is a standard practice among Internet websites. Cookies are small amounts of data that are sent to your browser from our web servers and are stored on your computer’s hard drive, not on our site. Cookies collect information that includes the server your computer is logged into and your browser type. Cookies used in connection with the Website do not retrieve any other data from your hard drive, or capture your e-mail address or any other personal information. Accepting cookies is required if you want to use certain Website functions because they are essential for site administration and security.

Information Collected When You E-mail the Website

During your visit to the Website you may place an order for goods or services, submit an inquiry, and/or submit information concerning opportunities for employment. The information, including personal information, volunteered by you in initiating such transactions is used by TaxiJustice to provide you with goods, services, and information or to undertake the employment review process. The information collected by TaxiJustice may be used for those purposes that may be reasonably ascertained from the nature and terms of the transaction in connection with which the information was submitted. The information is not collected for commercial marketing purposes and TaxiJustice will not sell or otherwise disclose the information collected from the Website for commercial marketing purposes.

TaxiJustice does not collect any personal information about you during your visit to the Website unless you provide that information voluntarily by sending an e-mail or initiating an online transaction such as filling out a registration or completing an order form, or for purposes of employment. You may choose not to send us an e-mail, register online for a service, complete an online order form, or submit information for employment purposes. While your choice not to participate in these activities may limit your ability to receive specific services or products through the Website, it will not prevent you from requesting services or products from TaxiJustice by other means and will normally not have an impact on your ability to take advantage of other features of the Website, including browsing or downloading most publicly available information. TaxiJustice does not knowingly collect personal information from children or create profiles of children through the Website. Users are cautioned, however, that the collection of personal information submitted in an e-mail or through an online transaction will be treated as though it was submitted by an adult, and may, unless exempted by federal or state law, be subject to public access. TaxiJustice strongly encourages parents and teachers to be involved in children's Internet activities and to provide guidance whenever children are requested or otherwise have the opportunity to provide personal information online.

Disclosure of Information Collected Through The MTA Website

TaxiJustice will only collect personal information through the Website or disclose personal information collected through the Website if the user has consented to the collection or disclosure of such personal information or under the circumstances described below. The voluntary disclosure of personal information to TaxiJustice by the user, including participation in an online transaction, whether solicited or unsolicited, constitutes consent to the collection and disclosure of the information by TaxiJustice for the purposes reasonably ascertainable from the nature and terms of the disclosure.

However, TaxiJustice may collect or disclose personal information without user consent if the collection or disclosure is: (1) authorized by law, or authorized by state or federal statute or regulation; (2) made pursuant to a court order or required by law; (3) required for the purpose of validating the identity of the user; or (4) of information to be used solely for statistical purposes that is in a form that cannot be used to identify any particular person.

TaxiJustice may disclose personal information to federal or state or local law enforcement authorities to enforce TaxiJustice’s rights against unauthorized access or attempted unauthorized access to TaxiJustice’s information technology assets or against other inappropriate use of the Website or other TaxiJustice property.

Access to and Correction of Personal Information Collected Through the Website

Any user may submit a request to the Website’s Privacy Compliance Officer to determine whether personal information pertaining to that user has been collected and retained through the Website. Any such request shall be made in writing to the address below and must be accompanied by reasonable proof of identity of the user. Reasonable proof of identity may include verification of a signature, inclusion of an identifier generally known only to the user, or other appropriate identification. Such a request should be mailed to the Website Privacy Compliance Officer:

The Website Privacy Compliance Officer shall, within (5) business days of the date of the receipt of a proper request: (i) provide access to the personal information; (ii) deny access in writing, explaining the reasons therefor; or (iii) acknowledge the receipt of the request in writing, stating the approximate date when the request will be granted or denied, which date shall not be more than thirty (30) days from the date of the acknowledgment.

Confidentiality and Integrity of Personal Information Collected Through the MTA Website

TaxiJustice is strongly committed to protecting personal information collected through the Website against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Consequently, TaxiJustice limits employee access to personal information collected through the Website to only those employees who need access to the information in the performance of their official duties. Employees who have access to this information are required to maintain its confidentiality and disclose it only as permitted under this Policy.

In addition, TaxiJustice has implemented procedures to safeguard the integrity of their information technology assets, including, but not limited to, authenticating, monitoring, and auditing. Security procedures have been integrated into the design, implementation, and day-to-day operations of the Website as part of our continuing commitment to the security of electronic content as well as the electronic transmission of information.

As an additional security measure, some areas of the Website may require the use of a User ID and Password to help protect your confidential information. This allows TaxiJustice to verify who you are, thereby allowing you access to your account information, and preventing unauthorized access. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account, and agree to immediately notify TaxiJustice of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security.

For website security purposes and to maintain the availability of the Website for all users, TaxiJustice employs software to monitor traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information or otherwise damage the Website.

TaxiJustice has retained independent contractors or third party service providers to perform special contract functions in connection with the Website, including, but not limited to, providing e-commerce services, computer programming, storing and managing customer information, processing transactions, and providing advice about and support of our products and services. As users navigate the Website they may not be able to identify which services are provided by such contractors or providers and which services are provided directly by TaxiJustice. These third party contractors or service providers may obtain and store and/or process your personal information on their own computer systems.
