Pearl Companies Online Privacy Policy
Our Commitment to Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.
The Information We Collect
The only information we collect online is information that you voluntarily provide to us either because you have requested us to process a financial transaction or because you are seeking information or support from us. We primarily receive personal information as a result of consumers’ financial transactions with Pearl or with Pearl business customers.
Pearl deletes all consumer data from its web servers upon completion of all credit card/EFT(Electronic Funds Transfer) transactions. Pearl does not retain consumer credit card account numbers, bank information, bank account information, or EFT routing data for its records or ongoing use. We use the latest technology, including digital certificates and secure servers, in an effort to ensure online payment transactions are as secure as possible.
When Pearl collects information directly from consumers, we obtain only the information that is needed to provide our goods or services, to provide customer service and to fulfill any legal or regulatory requirements. When we obtain information about consumers from third parties, we use reputable sources, including public repositories.
The Way We Use Information
If you supply us with personal information on this website, you will only be contacted so that we can provide you with the service or information you have requested or to occasionally send you other information about Pearl and products or services we believe you will find interesting.
Personal information, such as your e-mail address, is not collected, unless you provide it to us. Pearl does not disclose domain name or aggregate information to third parties other than vendors who assist us with our website and who are under strict confidentiality requirements.
We never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to those described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
Our Commitment to Data Security
At Pearl, security is a priority. Pearl employs appropriate measures, including advanced technology, to protect personal information collected online against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. These steps may include encryption, physical access security, dedicated lines, computer firewalls and other appropriate technologies. Pearl reviews and enhances its security systems as necessary.
Pearl policies limit access to personal user information that is collected from this website to only those employees at Pearl and its affiliates or contractors who need the information to complete the transaction or otherwise provide the service to you or fulfill the business responsibilities, such as credit reporting, verification and risk management.
All communications of your personal data will either be encrypted at the highest available levels of security or transmitted over a dedicated, secured lease line. Vendors and other outside contractors we engage are subject to our contractual requirements to ensure that sensitive personal information is safeguarded.

Our website is not directed at individuals under the age of 18.
We will disclose information in response to a lawful request issued by a court, government agency, or regulatory authority with the jurisdiction to make that request.
