Privacy information relevant to Deferred Presentment Providers
Information we collect through the FLADPP Site.
If you fill out the "Contact Us" form, your name and other identifying
information will not be sold or shared with any person or organization. Your
e-mail address or telephone number may be used by authorized FLADPP employees
to contact you concerning your comments, questions or complaints.
The "Providers" section of our web site contains information for
providers who join the FLADPP network. Your name and other identifying information
will not be sold or shared with any person or organization. Your e-mail address
or telephone number may be used by authorized FLADPP employees to contact you
concerning your request.
How your information is used.
When you enter a DPT into the database, including the name, phone number, social
security number, and other personal information of your customers we use this
information to help DPPs establish customer eligibility for a DPT.
The identifying information contained in the database for deferred presentment
providers, which is authorized under section 560.404, Florida Statutes, is confidential
and exempt from section 119.07(1), Florida Statutes, except that the identifying
information in the database may be accessed by other DPPs to verify whether
any are outstanding for a particular person and by the Office of Financial
Regulation for the purpose of maintaining the database.
We do not sell or rent information to third parties for marketing programs
or for any other purpose.
Limited distribution of personal information.
At the direction of a DPP (when the "Submit" button is clicked),
the information provided to us will be processed through the FLADPP system and
the appropriate response will returned to the DPP. All of the DPPs in our network
operate under federal and/or state laws and regulations. FLADPP will treat information
sent indirectly through a DPP in the same manner it treats the information you
submit directly through the website.
Security.
This site has security measures in place to protect the loss,
misuse and alteration of the information under our control. The Department uses
the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to safeguard your sensitive personal
information during on-line transactions. Using this widely accepted form of
encryption, your transaction is secured from your personal computer to the Comptroller's
Office computers processing your request, and the processing computers are located
behind a secure firewall. This method protects your personal information such
as Social Security Number, residential address and phone number, and business
information including financial statements and reports.
Most importantly, this also protects your financial payment
information including credit card and checking account numbers. For added
security, financial payment information is stored in a separate database with
additional security, and only a few authorized employees have access to this
information for fee processing purposes.
This notice should not be construed in any way as guaranteeing, or warranting
as fail proof, the security of information exchanged via Department web sites
Any changes to our privacy promise will be communicated through the FLADPP.com
web site at least 30 days in advance of implementation. Information collected
before changes are made will be secured according to the privacy policy in effect
prior to the change.
