Client Command Center, ISM, Work Order Management System & On-line Office
This area of the site is for the benefit of Users. The private and shared areas of the site help to facilitate communication and the exchange and sharing of information between buyers and service providers once a work order has been created and accepted. The information contained with respect to a work order between buyers and service providers is not used for any purpose other than to facilitate communication and the exchange of information between the parties involved.

Information We Gather
If you register to buy or sell services using IDSV, we collect and store information that specifically identifies you or your account ("Personally Identifiable Information"). Providers are required to submit information about computer skills, abilities to perform computer service work, your first name, last name, password, street address, city, state, zip/postal code, country, and email address. Buyers and service providers wishing to pay various fees or service retainers via credit card are also required to enter a valid credit card number and name as it appears on the credit card. Other information requested on our registration page, including the ability to receive promotional offers from IDSV, is optional. We may, in the future, include other optional requests for information from you, to help us to tailor the site for you and deliver personalized information to you. We may supplement our information with additional information purchased from third parties for marketing purposes. Credit card information will be transmitted via encryption for your protection.

Affiliates
If you sign up under one of the IDSV affiliate or referral programs, you will be required to provide: a User ID, a password, email address, city, state, country and zip/postal code. The referral program requests the User ID of a referrer and your phone number as optional information. The affiliate program will also require a contact name, phone number, street address, tax classification and, for US Affiliates only, your Social Security Number for tax purposes. It further requests the URL of your web site, the number of registered Users on your site, and a brief general description of your site. We will use this information for our own internal purposes, including evaluating and developing new features that better meet the needs of our affiliates. We will use the email address that you provide to us to contact you regarding the status of your affiliate or referral program account and we will use the address that you provide to us to send you any payments owed to you under the terms of the affiliate or referral programs.

Online Surveys
Occasionally IDSV conducts an online user survey to collect information about our users' preferences. These surveys are optional and if you choose to respond, your responses will be kept anonymous. Similarly, we may offer contests to qualifying Users in which we ask for contact and demographic information such as name, email address and mailing address. None of this information is shared with third parties, except in summary form, if at all. The demographic information that IDSV collects in the registration process and through online surveys is used to help us improve our services to meet the needs and preferences of our users. This may include targeting advertising to you about our services. Information we gather through a contest may also be disclosed to third parties as necessary for prize fulfillment and other aspects of any contest or similar offering.

The IDSV Payment System
IDSV offers a payment system that allows Buyers to pay with a credit card or other payment methods (the "Payment System").

Verification of credit information, however, is accomplished solely by the User through the PIN authentication process.
