Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect and use the personal information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our site and our products and services.  From time to time, we may change this Privacy Statement.

What Information Do We Collect?

We do not collect personal information, including your email address, unless we first ask you for it.  On some of our sites, we may request that you voluntarily supply us with information, including your email address, street address, telephone number or other information so that we may enhance your site visit or follow up with you after your visit.  Whether you provide any information is entirely up to you. If you have voluntarily provided information, you consented to the collection and use of your personally identifiable information as described in this privacy statement.  In some circumstances, California Payroll may share information you voluntarily provide us with trustworthy business partners.  We do not sell or rent personal information collected through this site to anyone.  We may also, at our discretion, provide collective statistics about visitors to our sites, such as volume, traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable third party businesses, but these statistics will include no personally identifiable information.

If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses. Web Site Use Information Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Website utilizes a standard technology called “cookies” (see explanation below, “What Are Cookies?”) and Web server logs to collect information about how our Web site is used. Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the Web sites visited just before and just after our Web site.  We, our advertisers and ad serving companies may also use small technology or pieces of code to determine which advertisements and promotions users have seen and how users responded to them.

How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?

Broadly speaking, we use contact information for purposes of administering and expanding our business activities, providing customer service and making available other products and services to our customers and prospective customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. We do not sell or rent information collected through this site to anyone.  You may notify us at any time if you do not wish to receive these offers by emailing us at [email protected].

What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a Web site, that site’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each Web site can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.  Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies that originate from their sites. We have no access or control over those cookies. How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies? As you use our Web site, the site uses its cookies to differentiate you from other users. In some cases, we also use cookies to prevent you from seeing unnecessary advertisements or requiring you to log in more than is necessary for security. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server’s log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting our Web site and which parts of the site are most popular. This helps us gather feedback in order to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our customers. Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal information about you and we do not generally store any personal information that you provided to us in your cookies. Sharing Information with Third Parties We may enter into alliances, partnerships or other business arrangements with trusted companies who may be given access to information including your name, address, telephone number and email, for the purpose of providing you information regarding products and services that we think will be of interest to you. In connection with alliances, partnerships or arrangements, we may also provide certain information to third parties if we have determined that the information will be used in a responsible manner by a responsible third party. For example, some of our partners operate stores or provide services on our site, while others power offerings developed by us for your use. We also use third parties to facilitate our business, including, but not limited to, sending email and processing payments. In connection with these offerings and business operations, our partners and other third parties may have access to your personal information for use in connection with business activities. As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or business offerings. Customer, email, and visitor information is generally one of the transferred business assets in these types of transactions. We may also transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, or any dissolution. Notice of New Services and Changes Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. As our customer, you will be given the opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers by sending us an email request at [email protected].

How Do We Protect Your Information? How Do We Secure Information Transmissions?

We exercise great care to protect your personally identifiable information.  This includes, among other things, using industry standard techniques such as firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection and site monitoring.  Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  As a result, while we strive to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from us.  This is especially true for information you transmit to us via e-mail.  We have no way of protecting that information until it reaches us.  Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our servers. Internally, we will restrict access to your personally identifiable information to employees who need access to the information in order to do their jobs.  These employees are limited in number, and are committed to our privacy policy. We will review our security arrangements from time to time as we deem appropriate.  Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns.

How Can You Help Protect Your Information?

If you are using a California Payroll website for which you registered and chose a password, we recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone.  We will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email.  Also remember to sign out of the registered site and close your browser window when you have finished your work.  This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if other have access to your computer.

How Can You Access and Correct Your Information?

You may request access to all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain in our database by emailing [email protected]. Certain Disclosures We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the law or comply with legal process served on us or affiliated parties; (b) protect and defend our rights and property, our site, the users of our site, and/or our affiliated parties; (c) act under circumstances to protect the safety of users of our site, us, or third parties.

What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site?

We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked to or from our Web site nor the information or content contained therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our Web site. Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Web site to another Web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other Web site, including Web sites which have a link on our Web site, is subject to that Web site’s own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.
