INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
Personal Information
This website allows you to request an Acxiom background check and manage access
by others to the background report. You will be required to provide identifying
information such as your name, street address, and social security number. You will
also be asked to answer a series of questions to authenticate your identity before
an Acxiom background report can be produced.
The information you provide will be used to obtain the background report and support
your ongoing relationship with Acxiom I-Check. It will be used to inform you via
email about I-Check updates and new features and other products and services from
Acxiom Corporation.
Acxiom I-Check may use contractors and other service providers to help us deliver
content and fulfill requests made at this site. However, in these instances, the
information which you have provided remains the property of Acxiom Information Security
Services Inc.
In addition, Acxiom reserves the right to disclose your personally identifiable
information as required by law or when we believe that disclosure is necessary to
protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal
process.
In the event Acxiom Information Security Services Inc. is purchased, data collected

services provided on the site.
Technologies
Acxiom I-Check uses various technologies to help us understand which parts of our
websites are most visited and understand traffic patterns between pages on
www.acxiomicheck.com.
Cookies: This site may uses cookies for the purpose of
tailoring web content to match your browser capability. These cookies do not store
or are linked to any personally identifiable information until you sign up and provide
personally identifiable data. From that point forward, all information collected
by the site may be personally identifiable. Acxiom I-Check may also use third party
cookies to count the number of visitors to particular pages as well as navigation
between web pages.
You can set your Internet browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving
you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. If you reject the cookie,
you may still use this site. The only drawback is that you may be limited in the
functionality of some areas.

Sensors: In order to determine your ability to receive
HTML-based email messages, such as acknowledging your request for a background report
and other promotional messages, Acxiom I-Check may include a coded sensor in its
HTML-based email messages. The sensor activates when the email message is opened
and flags the email address of the recipient as one that is capable of receiving
HTML-based email messages. This capability helps us to send the email in a format
you can read, to allow us to track the aggregate number of emails read and to measure
in aggregate if any of the links in the email were accessed. No other information
is collected or used by the sensor. If the recipient cannot receive HTML, the recipient
will not receive a functioning sensor.
Log Files: We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer
the site, track users’ movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate
use in improving the site. IP addresses may be linked to personally identifiable
information when website visitors register and personally identifiable information
to obtain a background report.
