1. Introduction & Scope

Welcome to The SoftBiz Inc ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how The SoftBiz Inccollects, uses, processes, and protects your personal information when you access or use our home utility and service comparison platform, websites, and services (collectively, the "Services").

By using our Services, you agree to the collection and use of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any terms of this policy, please do not use our comparison website.

2. Information We Collect

We collect several types of information from and about users of our Services, including:

• Postal Information: Your 5-digit ZIP code when searching for utilities so that we can identify service coverage.
• Inquiry Information: If you fill out form questionnaires or contact us, we may collect your name, phone number, email, and preferences.
• Device and Tech Info: We automatically track IP addresses, browser types, screen sizes, operating systems, and page navigation behaviors via cookies.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal data to fulfill operations and maintain service features:

• Providing accurate service comparisons for TV, Internet, Security, Mobile, and Energy.
• Connecting you with third-party service providers and home utility specialists.
• Analyzing analytics to improve user experience and layout stability.
• Preventing fraud, enforcing terms of service, and executing licensing/legal compliance.

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and local storage objects to recognize your browser, persist comparison categories, and remember search filters.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or notify you when a cookie is sent. However, if you disable cookies, some sections of our comparison system may fail to compile correctly.

5. Third-Party Sharing & Earning Disclosure

As an aggregator, we share ZIP-code metrics and selected category selections with third-party utility and insurance agencies to provide real-time quotes. We are compensated by these agencies if you make a purchase or complete registration through our affiliate numbers/links.

Please note: we do not control the privacy policies of third-party service providers. We recommend checking their specific legal pages before committing to contracts.

6. Data Security

We implement robust, industry-standard administrative, physical, and technological security protocols (including SSL encryption) to protect your information. However, no database transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee complete safety of data transmitted to our server network.

7. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your physical location and local jurisdictions (e.g., California Consumer Privacy Act/CCPA), you may have the following options:

• Requesting reports detailing what personal elements we hold.
• Asking for data correction or deletion of historical search data.
• Opting-out of marketing communications or utility partners data sharing.

8. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration

Any disputes arising from or relating to the use of this Privacy Policy or SoftBiz Services shall be resolved through binding, individual arbitration administered under American Arbitration Association rules, rather than filing lawsuits in court. You waive your right to participate in class-action lawsuits.
