How We Collect and Use Your Personally Identifying Information
Watchdog Complaints

We encourage you to contact watchdog@testimonialshield.com to report and resolve privacy complaints you
may have concerning TestimonialShield.com Sealholders or to report misuse of TestimonialShield.com
trademarks. If you choose to file a Watchdog complaint, we collect your name, email, and location. We also
request you provide the details around your complaint. Any additional personally identifying information you
provide on the Watchdog Complaint Form is optional. We will use this information to investigate your complaint
and to send you an optional Watchdog Customer Satisfaction Survey once your complaint is resolved.
We will not share your name or contact information with the TestimonialShield.com Sealholder that is the subject
of your privacy complaint unless you give us permission to do so. Please be aware, however, that if we cannot
share this information, then we may not be able to resolve your complaint.
TestimonialShield.com Programs and Services
If you apply to become a TestimonialShield.com Sealholder, we will use the personally identifying information
you provide (e.g., your name, address, email address, company information and payment information) to follow
up with you about your application and facilitate the certification process.
We also use this information to provide you with customer support and to communicate regularly with you. While
providing you with customer support (including through the live chat feature on our website) we may also gather
additional information from you. From time to time we will also offer you the opportunity to receive information
about privacy-related products or services offered by our third-party partners. We will not share your personally
identifying information with these third parties for their marketing purposes, unless we have your permission to
do so.
We use information submitted through our Web site or collected through email or hard copy surveys to analyze
the characteristics of our customers and improve our services. We will occasionally provide anonymized
aggregated statistics about our Sealholders in reports made available to them, to third parties, or to the general
public. These reports will not identify individual TestimonialShield.com Sealholders.
If you wish to sign up for TestimonialShield.com programs other than the Web Seal Program, or to simply obtain
information about TestimonialShield.com programs and services, we will collect your name, email address,
phone number, and additional company information. We use this information to contact you about your request,
