2. PURPOSE

One of the basic principles of MovingMarketplace.com is that we ask only for the personally identifiable information we need to provide and customize the services you request on our Web site, such as to solicit matching quotes from participating Movers, to fulfill your moving supplies needs, and to provide you with an enhanced relocation experience. Personally identifiable information is any information that can be used to determine the identity of a User, such as the User's name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and relocation address. The information collected in these areas will be used only and specifically for the purpose it was given to us.



3. WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Submitting Quote Requests and Registration by Users: When you submit a request for a quote, we ask you to provide information by filing out and submitting an online form. This information includes contact information such as your name, telephone numbers, e-mail address, and specific moving information such as your current place of residence, moving destination, moving date, type of current dwelling, and other. The more information you submit, the better we can match you with a Mover. Further, in order to create an account we request submission of a secret password.

Merchants Seeking to Join the Network: At the "merchant center" on our Web site we provide information for retailers, and content and other service providers in the moving and relocation industry who want to join the MovingMarketplace.com network. If you would like to become an affiliate, we ask you to provide information by filling out and submitting an online application form. This information includes your name, your company's name,  e-mail address, and telephone number.

Cookies: MovingMarketplace.com collects and uses information about Users through the use of cookies solely for the purpose of maintaining an uninterrupted user experience while logged in as a MovingMarketplace.com member ("per-session cookies"). Cookies, in general, are small pieces of information that a Web site transfers to the individual User's browser.
