and mailing address, social security number, business, trade references and telephone

The remainder of this policy describes our information handling practices in
detail.
When You Are Just Visiting Us...
You can always visit our site without revealing who you are or providing any Personal
Information. When you visit our site or visit our site through one of our partner's
sites, we do collect usage information ("session data"), but it is anonymous
and is not linked to you as an individual. We use session data to better understand
things like how our site is navigated, how many visitors arrive at specific pages,
the length and frequency of stays at our site, the variety of searches of our
site's database, the types of browsers and computer operating systems used by
our visitors and the Internet Protocol addresses from which our visitors connect
to our site. We use this information to improve our site content and ease of use.
Cookies.
We may place a "cookie" on your personal computer. A Cookie is a small
computer file that our computer sends to your computer and that your computer
sends back to us each time you make a request from our site. Cookies help us recognize
you when you visit our site again. We use cookies on our site to collect session
data for several purposes to personalize and improve your individual viewing experiences
on our site. For example, we use cookies to keep track of your use of our site,
gather data to improve the content of our site, provide information that may be
of interest to you and improve the security of your experience with us. Most Internet
browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can instruct your browser,
by editing its options, to stop accepting cookies or prompt you before accepting
a cookie from the sites you visit. If you decide not to accept our cookies, you
will still be able to access those parts of our site that are available to the
general public, but you will not be able to view some information on our site,
use some features designed to enhance your experience at our site or access many
of the services offered at our site.
When You Decide To Enroll With Us...
Personal Information.
If you decide to enroll with us, we will collect Personal Information about
you that you voluntarily share with us. We collect Personal Information that is
necessary for us to provide you with the services offered on our site. As mentioned,
this Personal Information includes things like your name, e-mail and mailing address,
social security number, business, trade references and telephone numbers ("Personal
Information").
Other Information.
You may decide to share other information ("Other Information") with
us about yourself (for example, demographic information like your age and gender).
This other information ("Other Information") will be treated the same
as described in Personal Information ("Personal Information").
Sharing of Personal Information.
Generally, we only disclose your Personal Information to those Electronic Payment
System employees and/or providers that require the Personal Information to make
a decision regarding your enrollment. For example, when you make application for
services it would be necessary to Share that information with the Bank, a leasing
company if you desire to lease a terminal or equipment and/or other providers
of services you have requested. There are services that compliment the ones you
are applying for and may benefit you and your business. We will share contact
information with these complimentary type service providers. We use our reasonable
efforts to ensure that these providers will also protect your Personal Information.
We contract with other companies to perform various functions necessary to operate
our business - for example, to ship items and process transactions. We will share
with these other companies only that Personal Information they require to fulfill
your orders. These companies agree that they will not use or disclose that Personal
Information for any other purpose. Other than as explained in this policy, we
will not disclose any Personal Information we collect from you to others without
your permission, except in certain limited circumstances: (a) to protect the security
of our site and our rights under our Terms
and Conditions of Use; (b) to protect ourselves against liability; (c) in
response to legal process, (d) if we believe in good faith that the law requires
it; or (e) in connection with a sale of our business or company. Please note that
if we receive a formal request to disclose your Personal Information in connection
with a legal action, we will attempt to tell you about it at least ten (10) days
before we respond to that request, if permitted by law, via the contact information
you provided during enrollment.
Combined Non-Personal Information.
We may also combine anonymous information supplied by you and other users during
enrollment on our site with information about your use and others' use of our
site. We will use this combined information to describe our user base, without
reference to any specific individual, to potential partners, investors and advertisers.
We will not share your Personal Information with any other users of our site,
but we may use information we collect about your use to make recommendations to
other users of our site. We may also share aggregated statistical information
about users of our site and our service and product offerings with others, including
our vendors and partners. We will not link this statistical information to any
Personal Information that can identify you as an individual.
Additional Products and Services.
We may partner with other companies to offer you additional products or services.
If you sign up for any of these additional products or services, we will share
your name and any other Personal Information that is necessary for these other
companies to provide the products or services you have signed up for. This policy
will not cover the use of your Personal Information by these other companies.
We encourage you to read each other company's privacy policy before signing up
for any of its products or services.
Notification of Changes.
We may change this policy from time to time. If we decide to change this policy
in a material way (for example, a change regarding disclosure of Personal Information),
we will post notice of the change on our site at least thirty (30) days before
putting the change into effect. If we decide to change our policy in a less significant
way, we will simply post notice of the change on our site at least ten (10) days
before putting the change into effect.
How We Protect Your Information.
We are committed to safeguarding your information. For that reason we employ a
staff of security technology professionals and utilize a full range of the best
security technology available. Specifically, your information is secured from
unauthorized access from the Internet through market leading firewall technology.
We also protect the connection between your computer and our server from eavesdropping
through industry-standard encryption technology known as Secure Socket Layer (SSL).
Depending on your browser, this SSL will have encryption keys of up to 128 bits.
To ensure that we fulfill our commitment to safeguard your information, we continually
assess new technology for protecting your information to make sure that our information
handling practices are in accordance with the highest industry standards and best
practices on the Internet at all times.
Links.
Our site provides links to other sites. When you click on one of these links,
you are leaving our site and entering another site that we do not control and
for which we cannot be responsible. You should carefully review the privacy statements
or policies on any other site that you visit because those privacy statements
or policies will apply to your visit to that site and may be very different from
our policy.

If you have any questions or concerns about this policy or our information handling
practices, you may contact our Chief Privacy Officer at privacy@eps-na.com.
We will attempt to respond to your questions or concerns within five (5) business
days after we receive them.
A Special Note about Children...
Children.
Children - in fact minors (individuals under 18 years of age) - are not eligible
to enroll for or use the services available on our site. We believe that parents
should play a central role in their child's online activities and should monitor
those activities to ensure that sites visited by their child are respecting their
child's privacy. For additional information on protecting children's privacy,
visit the Federal Trade Commission's "Kid'z Privacy" page at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/kidzprivacy/index.html.
