Fair Information Use Values
Fairness               

We consider consumer expectations about their privacy in all our businesses.  We only offer products and services that assure a favorable balance between consumer benefits and consumer privacy.

Public Record        We believe that an open public record creates significant value for society and enhances consumer choice and creates consumer opportunity. We actively support an open public record and emphasize its importance and contribution to our economy.
Use                        We believe we should behave responsibly when we use information about a consumer in our business. We will obey the laws governing the collection, use and dissemination of data.
Accuracy               We will take reasonable steps to help assure the accuracy of the data we collect, use and disseminate.  Where possible, we will take reasonable steps to correct inaccurate information.  When, as with the public record, we cannot correct inaccurate information, we will take all reasonable steps to assist consumers in identifying the source of the erroneous data so that the consumer can secure the required corrections.
Education We endeavor to educate the users of our products and services, our employees and others in our industry about the importance of consumer privacy.  We will instruct our employees on our fair information values and on the responsible collection and use of data.  We will encourage others in our industry to collect and use information in a responsible manner.
Security                 We will maintain appropriate facilities and systems to protect against unauthorized access to and corruption of the data we maintain.
