Information Collected

In order to provide business
services to its customers, vat Centre collects the following
personally identifiable information: name, address, telephone
number, fax number (optional), e-mail, credit card number,
social security numbers (mandatory for users requesting cash
commissions). Our site also automatically logs a user's IP
address. This information is necessary to set up and maintain
individual customer accounts, update users with vat Centre service-only related information, bill credit card companies,
issue PINs for customer use, track the use of accounts, allow
customers to access their individual account, prevent unauthorized
access to individual accounts and ensure security. The customer
information is collected solely for internal purposes. The
customer information is not released to third parties, except
strictly as needed to complete a transaction on behalf of
the customer, such as a credit card company. vat Centre
has been assured that any personally identifiable information
released in the course of completing transactions will not
be retained, shared, stored or used for secondary purposes.
vat Centre will
not otherwise disclose customer information, unless acting
under the good faith belief that such action is necessary
to conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process.
