Intuit’s Privacy Policy for Partners

In addition to the obligations under the Agreement between Intuit and its Partner, Intuit requires that its Partners comply with certain policies in order to safeguard the confidentiality of Personally Identifiable Information relating to Intuit’s customers. For this reason, Intuit has adopted the following Privacy Policy for Partners that must be adhered to as a condition of Partners doing business with Intuit.

The Privacy Policies for Partners are intended to apply only to Intuit’s business conducted in the United States. All Partner agreements and amendments that become effective on or after April 3, 2000, must incorporate this Privacy Policy for Partners.

Definitions

•

Partner – For the purpose of this document only, a “Partner” is any third party that has a contractual agreement to provide marketing, products or services to Intuit or Intuit’s customers, and/or has access to Personally Identifiable Information. Except as expressly stated in this Policy, this Policy shall not be interpreted or construed to create an association, agency, joint venture or legal partnership between Intuit and such third parties or to impose any liability attributable to such a relationship upon either party. Neither party shall have any right, power or authority to enter into any agreement for or on behalf of, or incur any obligation or liability of, or to otherwise bind the other party.

•

Intuit Customer – Users who view Intuit-owned/controlled Web sites, register at Intuit-owned/controlled Web sites, order or use Intuit products, services or software trials. Pursuant to specific Intuit-Partner agreements, a Partner may have particular rights to use Personally Identifiable Information.

•

Personally Identifiable Information – For the purpose of this document, Personally Identifiable Information relates to information about Intuit Customers that, among other things, identifies or can be used to identify, contact, or locate the person to whom such information relates. Personally Identifiable Information includes, but is not limited to name, address, phone number, fax number, email address, social security number and credit card information. To the extent unique information (which by itself is not personally identifiable), such as a personal profile, unique identifier, and IP address is associated with Personally Identifiable Information, then such unique information will also be considered Personally Identifiable Information. Personally Identifiable Information

does not include information that is collected anonymously or demographic information not connected to an identified individual, provided that certain types of such non-identifiable information may still be subject to restrictions on use and disclosure by law, e.g., tax return information.

Partners’ General Responsibilities

	•		Partners must agree to comply with this Privacy Policy for Partners and to clearly communicate and enforce this Policy among their employees, agents and any third parties used to perform any of the Partners’ obligations under their Agreement with Intuit or this Policy.

	•		Partners shall treat Personally Identifiable Information as confidential and proprietary information of Intuit and to protect it from disclosure to any third party (that is not an agent of the Partner contracted to do work pertaining to the Agreement), subject to this Policy, their Agreement with Intuit, and otherwise required by law.

	•		Partners shall limit their collection and use of Personally Identifiable Information to the expressed business purpose(s) set forth in the relevant Agreement(s) between the Partners and Intuit.

	•		Partners shall employ appropriate security measures to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of Personally Identifiable Information, and take reasonable precautions to protect it from loss, misuse or accidental or unauthorized access or alteration.

	•		Partners shall ensure that only authorized employees and agents, who are trained in the proper handling of Personally Identifiable Information and who are subject to obligations to maintain the confidentiality and restricted use of such information, have access to Personally Identifiable Information.

	•		Partners must transmit Personally Identifiable Information in a secure manner and store it in a secure environment.

	•		Except where Personally Identifiable Information is “co-owned,” or the customer provides Personally Identifiable Information to the Partner without restriction, Partners shall not rent, sell, or otherwise disclose Personally Identifiable Information. In those circumstances where Partners “co-own” Personally Identifiable Information, or the customer provided such information to the partner without restriction, Partners may rent, sell, or otherwise disclose Intuit Personally Identifiable Information only if they provide a method for Intuit Customers to “opt out” of such activity (see *Opt Out Choice* below).

	•		Intuit encourages its Partners to adopt privacy policies and practices (beyond what is covered here in this Policy) at least as protective as those used by Intuit.

	•		Partners shall comply with applicable law in their use and disclosure of all information provided to them by Intuit, whether or not such information falls within the definition of Personally Identifiable Information.

	•		Partners who collect Personally Identifiable Information related to Intuit customers shall identify to customers the organization(s) collecting this Information and describe to customers how this Information will be used.

Suppression

	•		Intuit maintains in-house suppression file(s) that include Personally Identifiable Information relating to those individuals who have indicated the circumstances under which they may not want to be contacted or solicited by Intuit. Partners who work on Intuit’s behalf, i.e. outsourcers or vendors, shall comply with Intuit’s policies relating to the use of such suppression file(s) to suppress names and addresses in the services they perform and the databases they use, maintain, and/or manage on behalf of Intuit.

	•		Except where Personally Identifiable Information is “co-owned,” Partners shall not use Personally Identifiable Information maintained in Intuit’s in-house suppression files.

	•		Partners who conduct mail solicitation to prospective customers on behalf of Intuit shall utilize the Direct Marketing Association’s Mail Preference Service.

Email

•

Partners who conduct email marketing activities on Intuit’s behalf shall not send unsolicited email to any recipient who does not have a preexisting relationship with Intuit or who has not consented to receive such email.

Marketing email sent on Intuit’s behalf shall contain notice of how to opt-out of future marketing email communications.

Opt Out Choice

	•		Intuit customers may choose their contact preferences for the manner in which Intuit will use Personally Identifiable Information. Partners that provide products or services on Intuit’s behalf must agree to employ procedures in a timely manner to honor these preferences.

	•		Partners that provide co-branded Web sites with Intuit, shall give customers of the co-branded Web site the opportunity to choose their preferences for the manner in which the co-branding Partner will use Personally Identifiable Information for marketing and list rental purposes.

	•		Partners, to whom Intuit refers Intuit Customers, or provides Personally Identifiable Information, shall give customers the opportunity to choose their preferences for the manner in which the Partner will use Personally Identifiable Information for marketing and list rental purposes.

Reviews

•

Partners that provide products or services on Intuit’s behalf, i.e. outsourcers or vendors, shall reasonably cooperate with Intuit so as to allow Intuit to verify their compliance with Intuit’s Privacy Policies for Partners and shall allow Intuit to audit their records and practices to determine compliance with such Policy.

•

All Partners must be able to demonstrate compliance with these policies.

Ad Servers

Intuit hires companies that serve ads on Intuit’s Web sites; these companies are known as ‘ad servers’.

	•		Intuit shall not disclose Personally Identifiable Information, which Intuit collects, to ad servers.

When an Intuit Customer Becomes a Partner’s Customer

	•		Intuit’s Web sites may include services or information provided by Partners, for example, insurance companies. Intuit is not responsible for any information provided to or transactions entered into by customers with such Partners. In the event Intuit’s Web site customers provide information or engage in transactions with such Partner, the terms governing the collection and use of any Personally Identifiable Information provided in connection therewith shall be governed by the terms of such Partner’s privacy policies and/or practices, and Intuit shall have no liability therefor.

	•		Pursuant to an Intuit-Partner agreement, Intuit and the Partner may independently control Personally Identifiable Information. In such cases, the Partner’s privacy policies apply to the Partner’s practices.

Compliance with U.S. Laws and Regulations

Partners shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

Policy Changes

Intuit may, in its sole discretion, amend this policy from time to time, as required by law or otherwise.

EXHIBIT 3

Privacy Technology Guidelines

	1.		Disclosure. Post a prominent privacy policy (linked from your home page) to tell consumers what you collect, how and why, and what their rights are.

	2.		Access. Customers must be able to “login” to a website to see information collected about them. They should be able at any time to change or delete information collected, with the exception that certain transactional information (e.g., a purchase record) is owned by the merchant.

	3.		SSL. Always use https/ssl (vs email or clear http etc) for transmission of any information which is considered private (financial information like credit card numbers, personally identifiable information like email or street address or phone number, etc), to prevent http snooping. (Data centers should tcp-snoop all traffic to grep for passwords.)

	4.		Encryption. Always oneway encrypt all passwords—never store any unencrypted or two-way hashed passwords on disk. This means that customer support must never be able to get someone’s password, but must instead only be allowed to reset it, else (better) let the user reset it themselves, with coded-URL email confirmation.

	5.		URL Parameters. Do not pass user identifiable information as URL parameters, as this causes them to be logged in the http logfiles. (And also sends this information in the clear if you forget to use SSL.) Instead, use hidden form fields or cookies or encrypted session IDs.

	6.		Email Login. Use email address to uniquely indentify users vs. making them create yet another unambiguous login id which they will forget and write down (and thus open a security/privacy hole).

	7.		Password Email. Never ever send any passwords (even temporary ones) by email, as they can easily be tcp snooped.

	8.		Precedence: Bulk. All bulk email should have Precedence: Bulk in the header, to allow systems and users to correctly prioritize bulk invasions.

	9.		Actual “To” Address. All bulk email should have the actual recipient address on the To line (this means one email per recipient!) to allow recipient to know which of their many email addresses were used.

	10.		Actual “From” Address. Make sure all of your email is sent with an accurate From address, so consumers can simply hit the Reply key in their mail client to reply to a human. The From address should also include a descriptive “full name”.

	11.		List Exposure. Do not ever list all recipient email addresses in the mail headers, else this will expose recipients to other recipients. (Also, the BCC field should not be used for this.)

	12.		One Click Removal. All bulk email messages should include a personalized/coded removal URL to allow single click removal. The coded URL should not contain the email address itself. Do not use systems which require the user to reply-to the bulk email with some special address or Subject convention, as these do not work for people whose known email was forwarded to another of their email addresses.

	13.		Opt-in for mailing lists (promotions, newsletters, etc), with a separate opt-in for the “selected partners” lists. (Need guidelines as to when to use opt-in vs opt-out...)

	14.		Victim Signup. In cases where there is an email signup that might be abused (bad guys signing up victims to random high volume newsletters), consider sending coded-URL opt-in email to confirm the opt-in email address.

	15.		RFC822. Allow fully RFC822 compliant email addresses, including ones like ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ (the +amazon part is used by many privacy advocates to track down where/how their email addresses are used).

	16.		Law Enforcement. Provide customer information to legal authorities as required, but take steps to verify their identity and authority, only sending them the minimal set of information which will satisfy their requests.

	17.		htaccess should never be used as the secure web site login mechanism for mass market / consumer applications, as it is a lousy user interface.

	18.		Forced Changes. Do not force consumers (vs. internal corporate/enterprise users) to regularly change their passwords, as this will cause them to forgot them, and to write them down somewhere (and thus open a security/privacy hole).

	19.		Digital Certificates. Do not use digital certificates for mass market consumer applications, as they are way too hard to use for this. (They are appropriate for server-to-server authentication, or for corporate/enterprise applications.)
