Use of Cookies
OceanTender.com may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized functionality.

You may also be asked to disclose personal information to us so that we can provide assistance and information to you. For example, such data may be warranted in order to provide online technical support and troubleshooting or account verification.

4. Use of Web Beacons or Gif Files
 OceanTender.com Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that allow OceanTender.com to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. OceanTender.com may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
 
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email communications. These Web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie on your computer. This allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views, which in turn enables us and our service providers to learn which advertisements and emails bring you to our website and how you use the site. OceanTender.com prohibits Web beacons from being used to collect or access your personal information.
 
5. Accessing Web Account Information
We will provide you with the means to ensure that personally identifiable information in your web account file is correct and current. You may review this information by contacting us by sending an email to our support attendant info@OceanTender.com
 
6. Identity Theft / Fraud
Identity Theft occurs when someone uses sensitive information, called Personally Identifiable Information (or PII) of another person without their permission to commit fraud or other crimes, such as Account Takeover or Application Fraud. [Account Takeover is when an individual acquires another person\'s existing credit account information and purchases products and services at the victim\'s expense. Application Fraud is when an individual uses another\'s Social Security Number or other Personally Identifiable Information to open new credit accounts in the victim\'s name.]
 
If you believe you are a victim of Identity Theft, contact the three major credit bureaus to place a fraud alert message on your credit file. When you place a fraud alert on your file, the credit reporting agencies will send you a copy of your credit report at no charge.
 
Experian (1-888-397-3742)
Equifax (1-800-525-6285)
TransUnion (1-800-680-7289)
 
Carefully review your credit reports for: accounts you did not open, inquiries from creditors you did not initiate, and for personal information (such as home address and social security number) that is not accurate. If you see anything you do not understand or any accounts you did not open, call the credit reporting agency at the telephone number on the report.
