Introduction & Overview

ChoicePoint (NYSE: CPS) provides businesses, government agencies and non-profit organizations with technology, software, information and marketing services to help manage economic risks as well as identify business opportunities. Consumers have free access to the reports we create at www.choicetrust.com.

We have adopted policies and procedures to foster our commitment to privacy and our vision that good privacy is good business, including policies and procedures related to consumer choice. Consumers may opt-out of the dissemination of Personally Identifiable Information from ChoicePoint-owned marketing services databases (see below). Also, individuals may opt-out of ChoicePoint public facing products¹ in accordance with laws or if permitted by ChoicePoint policy (see below). In addition, consumers in certain states or the District of Columbia may have the ability to place a security freeze on specific ChoicePoint consumer reports (see below).

ChoicePoint-Owned Direct Marketing Services Databases

We provide direct marketing services to customers to help their marketing campaigns reach consumers who are more likely to be interested in receiving such information. We routinely remove consumers from these services upon request.

To opt-out of ChoicePoint’s Direct Marketing Services Databases, please complete the form below. Your request will prevent your name and address from being used in unsolicited communications from ChoicePoint Precision Marketing and its customers. However, please note ChoicePoint is not the only direct marketing company in the industry and opting-out of our databases will not prevent other companies from sending you direct marketing materials or making telemarketing calls.

The Direct Marketing Association (DMA) (www.the-dma.org) also provides individuals with a form to use to have their names removed from other direct marketers’ mail, e-mail, and telephone call lists. ChoicePoint honors opt-out requests made through the DMA’s services.

We also comply with national Do-Not-Call (DNC) requirements and honor opt-out requests through that service. To add your name to the national DNC list, you may register at www.donotcall.gov. Many states have also created DNC lists for their residents.

Finally, we obtain and honor opt-out requests made through the three national consumer reporting agencies.
