cases when we post the notice we will also email users who
have opted to or are required to receive communications from

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. IDSV
reserves the right to monitor communications throughout our
site, and if we believe that a user is violating any of our
agreements; international, federal or state laws; and/or our
stated policies we may terminate such usage.
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").
If you make use of this service, IDSV will collect your credit
card number and/or other entered financial institution
information and will use that information to perform the
billing operation on behalf of the service provider, including
but not limited to the use and disclosure of such credit card
number and information to third parties as necessary to
complete such billing operation. Verification of credit
information, however, is accomplished solely by the User
through the PIN authentication process.
Automatically Gathered Information
IDSV automatically collects your browser type and browser
software version to tailor the presentation of the services to
your platform and to maintain a record of your activity on the
site. IDSV uses cookies to enable users to specify unique

preferences. If you disable cookies on your browser, please
note that some parts of our site may not function. As an
automatic process, our web server software records a log file
of IP addresses that access the Site. We also collect IP
address information but do not ordinarily link IP addresses to
Users' Personally Identifiable Information. However, we can
and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we, in our
sole discretion, determine that it is necessary to enforce
compliance with our various policies or to protect our
service, site, customers or others.
Email to Friends Feature and Referral Program
IDSV offers the ability to send friends emails about providing
or purchasing services through IDSV. If you choose to use this
feature, be assured that IDSV only uses your friends' email

send it on your behalf.

your services.
