personal information to third parties. There is no way you can
modify this information and you have no right to do so. Under the
terms of the purchase agreement, you have no right to view or
receive any information about our database. In the event that the
website, under advice of counsel agrees to divulge information, the
requesting party must submit whatever information is demanded by the
website in insure that the website is releasing information to the
correct party. Other provisions of the OPPA may exempt this website
from complying. While we take measures to ensure that outside
parties do not have access to any information we have about you, we

thus have access to your information. (You should know that
merchant service providers do not allow us access to your credit
