DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
GATHERING, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF NON-PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING
INFORMATION
"Non-Personally-Identifying Information" is information that, without the aid of additional information, cannot be directly associated with a specific person. "Personally-Identifying Information," by contrast, is information such as a name or email address that, without more, can be directly associated with a specific person. Like most website operators, Company gathers from users of the Website Non-PersonallyIdentifying Information of the sort that Web browsers, depending on their settings, may make available. That information includes the user's Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type and the locations of the websites the user views right before arriving at, while navigating and immediately after leaving the Website. Although such information is not Personally-Identifying Information, it may be possible for Company to determine from an IP address a user's Internet service provider and the geographic location of the visitor's point of connectivity as well as other statistical usage data. Company analyzes Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from users of the Website to help Company better understand how the Website is being used. By identifying patterns and trends in usage, Company is able to better design the Website to improve users' experiences, both in terms of content and ease of use. From time to time, Company may also release the Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from Website users in the aggregate, such as by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the Website.
A "Web Cookie" is a string of information which assigns you a unique identification that a website stores on a user's computer, and that the user's browser provides to the website each time the user submits a query to the website. We use cookies on the Website to keep track of services you have used, to record registration information regarding your login name and password, to record your user preferences, to keep you logged into the Website and to facilitate purchase procedures. Company also uses Web Cookies to track the pages that users visit during each Website session, both to help Company improve users' experiences and to help Company understand how the Website is being used. As with other NonPersonally-Identifying Information gathered from users of the Website, Company analyzes and discloses in aggregated form information gathered using Web Cookies, so as to help Company, its partners and others better understand how the Website is being used. COMPANY USERS WHO DO NOT WISH TO HAVE WEB COOKIES PLACED ON THEIR COMPUTERS SHOULD SET THEIR BROWSERS TO REFUSE WEB COOKIES BEFORE ACCESSING THE WEBSITE, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT CERTAIN FEATURES OF THE WEBSITE MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WITHOUT THE AID OF WEB COOKIES. WEBSITE USERS WHO REFUSE WEB COOKIES ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY RESULTING LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY.
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you
visit the Website. These companies may use information (not including
any Personally-Identifying Information) about your visits to the
Website and other websites that are contained in Web Cookies in order
to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
Using a tool created by the Network Advertising Initiative, you can
opt out of several third- party ad servers' and networks' Web Cookies
simultaneously. If you would like more information about this practice
and to know your choices about not having this information used by
these companies, please follow the following links:
http://networkadvertising.org/..., http://preferences-mgr.truste.com/,
or http://www.aboutads.info/choices/. Please contact us if you would
like to know the identity of the thirdparty advertising companies we
are currently using to serve ads.
We may allow advertisers to choose the characteristics of users who
will see their advertisements, and we may use any of the
Non-Personally Identifying Information we have collected (including
information you may have decided not to show to other users, such as
your birth year or other sensitive personal information or
preferences) to select the appropriate audience for those
advertisements. We do not identify you to the advertiser.
A "Web Beacon" is an object that is embedded in a web page or email that is usually invisible to the user and allows website operators to check whether a user has viewed a particular web page or an email. Company may use Web Beacons on the Website and in emails to count users who have visited particular pages, viewed emails and to deliver co-branded services. Web Beacons are not used to access users' Personally-Identifying Information. They are a technique Company may use to compile aggregated statistics about Website usage. Web Beacons collect only a limited set of information, including a Web Cookie number, time and date of a page or email view and a description of the page or email on which the Web Beacon resides. You may not decline Web Beacons. However, they can be rendered ineffective by declining all Web Cookies or modifying your browser setting to notify you each time a Web Cookie is tendered, permitting you to accept or decline Web Cookies on an individual basis.
We may use third-party vendors, including Google, who use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to inform, optimize and serve ads based on your past activity on the Website, including Google Analytics for Display Advertising. The information collected may be used to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content and better understand online activity. If you do not want any information to be collected and used by Google Analytics, you can install an opt-out in your web browser (https://tools.google.com/...) and/or opt out from Google Analytics for Display Advertising or the Google Display Network by using Google's Ads Settings (www.google.com/settings/ads).
We may share aggregated and Non-Personally Identifying Information we collect under any of the above circumstances. We may also share it with third parties and our affiliate companies to develop and deliver targeted advertising on the Website and on websites of third parties. We may combine Non- Personally Identifying Information we collect with additional Non-Personally Identifying Information collected from other sources. We also may share aggregated information with third parties, including advisors, advertisers and investors, for the purpose of conducting general business analysis. For example, we may tell our advertisers the number of visitors to the Website and the most popular features or services accessed. This information does not contain any Personally-Identifying Information and may be used to develop website content and services that we hope you and other users will find of interest and to target content and advertising.
Mobile Device. If you use a mobile device to access the Website or
download any of our applications, we may collect device information
(such as your mobile device ID, model and manufacturer), operating
system, version information and IP address.
Geo-Location Information. Unless we have received your prior consent,
we do not access or track any location-based information from your
mobile device at any time while downloading or using our mobile
application or our services, except that it may be possible for
Company to determine from an IP address the geographic location of
your point of connectivity, in which case we may gather and use such
general location data.
Push Notifications. We send you push notifications if you choose to
receive them, letting you know when someone has sent you a message or
for other service-related matters. If you wish to opt-out from
receiving these types of communications, you may turn them off in your
device's settings.
Mobile Analytics. We use mobile analytics software to allow us to
better understand the functionality of our mobile software on your
phone. This software may record information, such as how often you use
the application, the events that occur within the application,
aggregated usage, performance data and where the application was
downloaded from. We do not link the information we store within the
analytics software to any Personally-Identifying Information you
submit within the mobile application.
As defined above, Personally-Identifying Information is information
that can be directly associated with a specific person. Company may
collect a range of Personally-Identifying Information from and about
Website users. Much of the Personally-Identifying Information
collected by Company about users is information provided by users
themselves when (1) registering for our service, (2) logging in with
social network credentials, (3) participating in polls, contests,
surveys or other features of our service, or responding to offers or
advertisements, (4) communicating with us, (5) creating a public
profile or (6) signing up to receive newsletters. That information may
include each user's name, address, email address and telephone number,
and, if you transact business with us, financial information such as
your payment method (valid credit card number, type, expiration date
or other financial information). We also may request information about
your interests and activities, your gender, age, date of birth,
username, hometown and other demographic or relevant information as
determined by Company from time to time. Users of the Website are
under no obligation to provide Company with Personally-Identifying
Information of any kind, with the caveat that a user's refusal to do
so may prevent the user from using certain Website features.
BY REGISTERING WITH OR USING THE WEBSITE, YOU CONSENT TO THE USE AND
DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION AS DESCRIBED IN
THIS "COLLECTION, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING
INFORMATION" SECTION.
Certain Personally-Identifying Information collected from users may be
disclosed as a matter of course as a result of your use of the
Website. We may provide areas on the Website where you can post
reviews and other information relating to your activities on the
Website. Such postings are governed by our Terms of Use. In addition,
such postings may appear on other websites or when searches are
executed on the subject of your posting. Also, whenever you
voluntarily disclose personal information on publicly-viewable web
pages, that information will be publicly available and can be
collected and used by others. For example, if you post your email
address, you may receive unsolicited messages. We cannot control who
reads your posting or what other users may do with the information you
voluntarily post, so we encourage you to exercise discretion and
caution with respect to your personal information.
USERS ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSS OF PRIVACY OR OTHER HARM
RESULTING FROM THEIR VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING
INFORMATION.
We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by the Website that we think you may find valuable. We may also send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service. Generally, you may opt out of such emails at the time of registration or through your account settings, though we reserve the right to send you notices about your account, such as service announcements and administrative messages, even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.
Company will disclose Personally-Identifying Information under the
following circumstances:
By Law or to Protect Rights. When we believe disclosure is
appropriate, we may disclose Personally-Identifying Information in
connection with efforts to investigate, prevent or take other action
regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing; to
protect and defend the rights, property or safety of Company, our
users, our employees or others; to comply with applicable law or
cooperate with law enforcement; to enforce our Terms of Use or other
agreements or policies, in response to a subpoena or similar
investigative demand, a court order or a request for cooperation from
a law enforcement or other government agency; to establish or exercise
our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise
required by law. In such cases, we may raise or waive any legal
objection or right available to us.
Marketing Communications. Unless users opt-out from receiving Company
marketing materials upon registration, Company may email users about
products and services that Company believes may be of interest to
them. If you wish to opt-out of receiving marketing materials from
Company, you may do so by following the unsubscribe link in the email
communications, by going to your account settings (if applicable) or
contacting us using the contact information below.
Third-Party Service Providers. We may share your
Personally-Identifying Information, which may include your name and
contact information (including email address) with our authorized
service providers that perform certain services on our behalf. These
services may include fulfilling orders, providing customer service and
marketing assistance, performing business and sales analysis,
supporting the Website's functionality and supporting contests,
sweepstakes, surveys and other features offered through the Website.
We may also share your name, contact information and credit card
information with our authorized service providers who process credit
card payments. These service providers may have access to personal
information needed to perform their functions but are not permitted to
share or use such information for any other purpose.
Business Transfers; Bankruptcy. Company reserves the right to transfer
all PersonallyIdentifying Information in its possession to a successor
organization in the event of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy or
other sale of all or a portion of Company's assets. Other than to the
extent ordered by a bankruptcy or other court, the use and disclosure
of all transferred Personally-Identifying Information will be subject
to this Privacy Policy, or to a new privacy policy if you are given
notice of that new privacy policy and are given an opportunity to
affirmatively optout of it. Personally-Identifying Information
submitted or collected after a transfer, however, may be subject to a
new privacy policy adopted by the successor organization.
Changing Personally-Identifying Information; Account Termination You
may at any time review or change your Personally-Identifying
Information by going to your account settings (if applicable) or
contacting us using the contact information below. Upon your request,
we will deactivate or delete your account and contact information from
our active databases. Such information will be deactivated or deleted
as soon as practicable based on your account activity and accordance
with our deactivation policy and applicable law. To make this request,
either go to your account settings (if applicable) or contact us as
provided below. We will retain in our files some
Personally-Identifying Information to prevent fraud, to troubleshoot
problems, to assist with any investigations, to enforce our Terms of
Use and to comply with legal requirements as is permitted by law.
Therefore, you should not expect that all your Personally-Identifying
Information will be completely removed from our databases in response
to your requests. Additionally, we keep a history of changed
information to investigate suspected fraud with your account.
Company uses the Personally-Identifying Information in the file we maintain about you, and other information we obtain from your current and past activities on the Website (1) to deliver the products and services that you have requested; (2) to manage your account and provide you with customer support; (3) to communicate with you by email, postal mail, telephone and/or mobile devices about products or services that may be of interest to you either from us, our affiliate companies or other third parties; (4) to develop and display content and advertising tailored to your interests on the Website and other sites; (5) to resolve disputes and troubleshoot problems; (6) to measure consumer interest in our services; (7) to inform you of updates; (8) to customize your experience; (9) to detect and protect us against error, fraud and other criminal activity; (10) to enforce our Terms of Use; and (11) to do as otherwise described to you at the time of collection. At times, we may look across multiple users to identify problems. In particular, we may examine your Personally-Identifying Information to identify users using multiple user IDs or aliases. We may compare and review your Personally-Identifying Information for accuracy and to detect errors and omissions. We may use financial information or payment method to process payment for any purchases made on the Website, enroll you in the discount, rebate, and other programs in which you elect to participate, to protect against or identify possible fraudulent transactions and otherwise as needed to manage our business.
Company contractually prohibits its contractors, affiliates, vendors and suppliers from disclosing Personally-Identifying Information received from Company, other than in accordance with this Privacy Policy. However, third parties are under no obligation to comply with this Privacy Policy with respect to Personally-Identifying Information that users provide directly to those third parties, or that those third parties collect for themselves. These third parties include advertisers, providers of games, utilities, widgets and a variety of other third-party applications accessible through the Website. Company neither owns nor controls the third-party websites and applications accessible through the Website. Thus, this Privacy Policy does not apply to information provided to or gathered by the third parties that operate them. Before visiting a third party, or using a third-party application, whether by means of a link on the Website, directly through the Website or otherwise, and before providing any Personally-Identifying Information to any such third party, users should inform themselves of the privacy policies and practices (if any) of the third party responsible for that website or application, and should take those steps necessary to, in those users' discretion, protect their privacy.
We take the security of your Personally-Identifying Information
seriously and use reasonable electronic, personnel and physical
measures to protect it from loss, theft, alteration or misuse.
However, please be advised that even the best security measures cannot
fully eliminate all risks. We cannot guarantee that only authorized
persons will view your information. We are not responsible for
third-party circumvention of any privacy settings or security
measures.
We are dedicated to protect all information on the Website as is
necessary. However, you are responsible for maintaining the
confidentiality of your Personally-Identifying Information by keeping
your password confidential. You should change your password
immediately if you believe someone has gained unauthorized access to
it or your account. If you lose control of your account, you should
notify us immediately.
Company may, in its sole discretion, change this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any and all changes to Company's Privacy Policy will be reflected on this page and the date new versions are posted will be stated at the top of this Privacy Policy. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account. Users should regularly check this page for any changes to this Privacy Policy. Company will always post new versions of the Privacy Policy on the Website. However, Company may, as determined in its discretion, decide to notify users of changes made to this Privacy Policy via email or otherwise. Accordingly, it is important that users always maintain and update their contact information.
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") protects the online privacy of children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect or maintain Personally-Identifying Information from anyone under the age of 13, unless or except as permitted by law. Any person who provides PersonallyIdentifying Information through the Website represents to us that he or she is 13 years of age or older. If we learn that Personally-Identifying Information has been collected from a user under 13 years of age on or through the Website, then we will take the appropriate steps to cause this information to be deleted. If you are the parent or legal guardian of a child under 13 who has become a member of the Website or has otherwise transferred Personally-Identifying Information to the Website, please contact Company using our contact information below to have that child's account terminated and information deleted.
California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the "Shine The Light" law, permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about the Personally-Identifying Information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. If applicable, this information would include a list of the categories of the Personally-Identifying Information that was shared and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared Personally-Identifying Information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to our privacy officer as listed below.
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. The Website does currently respond to DNT browser signals or mechanisms.
