Our Commitment To Data Security
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. We hold our employees accountable for maintaining the privacy and integrity of our customers' information. We provide ongoing training programs that are designed to keep our employees informed of our Privacy Principles. We proudly display the VeriSign® seal on our web site as evidence of our commitment.
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important.
For that reason, we never collect or maintain information on our web site from those we actually know are under the age of 13, and no part of our web site is structured to attract anyone under the age of 13. In the event Graebel learns that a registrant is under the age of 13, we will take steps to ensure that that registrant's information is deleted from our database. We encourage parents to actively participate in their children's activities on the Internet and to educate children on the safe use of the Web.
At Graebel, we believe that our visitors own their personal information. We will always give our registrants a choice regarding how the personally identifiable information they provide us may be used. For example, during the process of helping our customers move their homes and businesses and/or relocate to new areas, Graebel may share personally identifiable information with carefully selected third-party companies, organizations and government agencies in order to facilitate an easy moving process and give our customers access to local resources they might find helpful in their new location. Such companies may include (based upon services being offered):
- Graebel Companies Inc.
- Graebel Van Lines
- Graebel Movers International, Inc.
- Move Management, Inc.
- Graebel Relocation Services Worldwide
- Graebel Commercial Services
- Real Estate Brokerages
- Temporary Housing companies
- Mortgage companies
- Appraisal companies
- Title companies
- Inspection organizations
- Destination Service providers
- Language/Cultural Training companies
Our customers will always have the opportunity to opt in or out of any data collection or distribution, although some services we provide may be limited.
Graebel will not willfully share the personally-identifiable information collected from our customers without their consent. The only exception to this policy is when we are required to do so by a legal statute, a law enforcement agency, or regulatory authority. This will usually be done only after we receive a court order or subpoena that requires us to release information.
In certain cases, an emergency request from a verifiable law enforcement agency may be honored prior to receiving a court order or subpoena. We will make every reasonable effort to notify our customers as soon as possible if we receive a request for the release of information so that our customers can have the opportunity to pursue any legal rights and remedies they may have under the law.
Under certain circumstances, a court order or law may prohibit us from notifying our customers of a request for information. Examples of this include cases in which fraud and/or criminal activity is suspected. In these cases, we will make every effort to notify our customers, at the earliest possible time permissible under the law.
