The initial product for which a fee is charged is Multiple Code Searching, which enables subscribers to query more than one Code simultaneously. To enable the purchase of these products Municipal Code Corporation collects billing and credit card information. The credit card information is not archived. This information will only be shared with third parties who perform tasks required to complete the purchase transaction.

If personal information is requested on the Web site or volunteered by the user, State law and the federal Privacy Act of 1974 may protect it. However, this information is no longer protected once you provide it, and may be subject disclosure. Any personally identifying information you provide will be stored in a limited access server, and we maintain safeguards to protect the security of the information.
