  1. Our Commitment to Privacy

We respect the privacy of your personally-identifying information. We provide this explanation about our information practices as a show of our commitment to protect your privacy.

We do not sell or rent personally-identifying information collected during your use of the website / app without your permission. In accordance with this Agreement or otherwise upon notification to you at the time of data collection or transfer, we may share your personally-identifying information with a third party, but only in connection with our rights under this Agreement. If you do not want your information shared in accordance with this Agreement, do not access or use the website / app.

  1. The Information We Collect

At the time of your access to or use of the website / app or when you otherwise provide information to us through the website / app or through your communications with us, we may collect and store personally-identifying information. The information we collect is categorized as follows:

  • Application Information — information that you provide to us through the website / app and through other means. Examples include your name, email address, mailing address, including zip code, phone number, geolocation, and IP address.
  • Transaction and Experience Information — information about your transactions with us, as well as information about your conversations with us and other communications between you and us. Examples include your account history, email and text communications, requests for information, and our responses.

We need this information to provide services and products that you request via the website / app or otherwise and to let you know of additional services and products about which you might be interested. We also use this information to customize your experience using the website / app.

We may also share the information we collect about you with third parties, but only to the extent authorized by you, necessary to provide the services or products you request, or as required by law.

We may ask you for personally-identifying information at other times, such as if you enter into a promotion, post information, register for a forum, complete a survey, or otherwise communicate with us. If you opt-in to receive information regarding a promotion or other service offered by a third party, you give us your permission to share your name, email address, and other information with the third party offering the promotion or other service.

In addition, we automatically gather general statistical information about the website / app and users, such as IP addresses, browsers, pages viewed, number of visitors, services obtained, etc., but in doing so we do not reference you by individual name, email address, home address, or telephone number. We use this data in the aggregate to determine how much our users use parts of the website / app so we can improve the website / app. We may provide this statistical information to third parties, but when we do so we do not provide personally-identifying information without your permission.

In connection with the website / app, we use cookies and beacons to store and sometimes track information about you. Some features of the website / app may be available only through the use of a cookie. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your device’s memory. A beacon is a transparent graphic image placed on the website / app to monitor the behavior of a visitor to the website / app. Generally, we use cookies to remind us who you are and enable us to access your account information so you do not have to re-enter it. We use cookies and beacons to gather statistical information about usage by registered or unregistered users to research visiting patterns and track progress and participation in promotions and other services. Preference and options configurations in your browser determine if and how a cookie or beacon will be accepted. You can change those configurations on your device if you desire. By changing your preferences, you can accept all cookies, you can be notified when a cookie is sent, or you can reject all cookies. If you do so and cookies are disabled, you may be required to re-enter your information more often and certain features of the website / app may be unavailable. Disabling cookies will also prevent beacons from tracking your unique information when using the website / app.

In addition, third parties linked to the website / app may use their own cookies and beacons and may collect personally-identifying information, including credit card information, in connection with your use of their websites. The privacy policy of such third parties may differ from ours. We encourage you to read the third party’s privacy policy before responding to the offer to determine how the personally-identifying information is used by that third party.

If your browser or similar mechanism gives the website / app a “do not track” signal, the website / app will make commercially reasonable attempts to honor your settings (although we still may deliver and use cookies and other tracking technologies for non-marketing purposes). However, we do not make any promises or guarantees about the effects of any “do not track” choice that you may make because: (a) such nuanced treatment is not necessarily available or effective for all browsers, mechanisms, or tracking technologies, and our commercially reasonable attempts to honor your settings or might not be effective to preclude tracking or behavioral advertising at all or over any particular period of time; (b) third parties may not honor your settings or our policies and may use cookies or other tracking technologies for behavioral advertising despite our commercially reasonable attempts to prevent them from doing so; and (c) tracking technologies, browsers, and access devices may change from time to time and our commercially reasonable attempts might not be effective for each technology or across all platforms.

  1. The Way We Use Information

We use your personally-identifying information to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to statistically analyze site usage, to improve our content and services and product offerings, and to customize the website / app's content, layout, and services.

We may use your information to provide information to you regarding our services and products and to solicit your business for such services and products. We may use your information to deliver information to you that, in some cases, is targeted to your interests, such as articles, targeted banners, new services and products, advertisements, and promotions. You may opt out of receiving this information by so indicating in your preferences file or otherwise notifying us in writing. We may ask you to provide us voluntarily with additional information regarding your personal or interests, experience, or requests, which we may use to customize our services for you.

We may use your email address, your mailing address, and phone number to contact you regarding solicitations, administrative notices, and communications relevant to your use of the website / app.

We may also use or disclose information to: (a) resolve disputes; (b), investigate problems; (c) enforce this Agreement; (d) protect our operations or those of any of our affiliates; (e) protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, and/or that of our affiliates, you, or others; and (f) allow us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain. At times, we may review the status or activity of multiple users to do so. We may disclose or access information whenever we believe in good faith that the law so requires or if we otherwise consider it necessary to do so to maintain service and improve our goods and services. In addition, as our business changes, we may buy or sell various assets. In the event all or a portion of assets owned or controlled by us or affiliated entity are sold, assigned, transferred or acquired by another company, the information from and/or about you may be among the transferred assets.

We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to manage the website / app, and to enhance the website / app based on the usage pattern data we receive.

  1. Security

We employ reasonable and current security methods designed to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure correct use of information.

To use some of our services, you may be required to set up a password-protected account or profile on the website / app. If so, we recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. It is your responsibility to keep your password protected. Our personnel will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. Remember to sign out of your account when you have finished your session. This helps ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a device with someone else or are using a device in a public place where others may have access to it.

Whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online -- for example, on message boards or blogs, through email, or in chat areas -- that information can be collected and used by others.

No data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure. As a result, while we try to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.

  1. International Users

Our target geographic market is the United States of America. IF YOU RESIDE OUTSIDE OF THAT COUNTRY, DO NOT PROVIDE US WITH YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION. We maintain information in the United States of America and in accordance with the laws of the United States, which may not provide the same level of protection as the laws in your jurisdiction. By using our website and providing us with information, you understand and agree that your information may be transferred to and stored on servers located outside your resident jurisdiction and, to the extent you are a resident of a country other than the United States, that you consent to the transfer of such data to the United States for processing by us in accordance with this Agreement.

  1. California Residents – Your California Privacy Rights

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California residents to request from us certain information regarding the disclosure of certain categories of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes within the immediately preceding calendar year. A company may also comply with the law by disclosing in its privacy notice that it provides consumers choice (opt-out or opt-in) regarding sharing personal information with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes (as we do), and information on how to exercise that choice.

If you are a California resident and you have questions about our practices with respect to sharing information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes and your ability to exercise choice, please send your request to us via the email address or the mailing address set forth in Section 14. You must put the statement “Your California Privacy Rights” in the subject field of your email or include it in your writing if you choose to write to us at the designated mailing address. You must include your name, street address, city, state, and zip code. We are not responsible for notices that are not labeled or sent properly, or do not have complete information.

If you are a California resident under the age of 18, and a registered user of the website / app, California Business and Professions Code Section 22581 permits you to request and obtain removal of content that you have publicly posted. To make such a request, please send an email with a detailed description of the specific content to us via the email address set forth in Section 14. Please be aware that such a request does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information that you have posted and there may be circumstances in which the law does not require or allow removal even if requested.

To the extent the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 is applicable to our collection of information that identifies or relates to you or your household, you may have a number of important rights free of charge. In summary, those rights include: (i) the right to know the categories of personal information to be collected and the purposes for which the information will be used (see Sections 9 and 10 above); (ii) the right to know the categories of personal information that were actually collected in the preceding 12 months and sold or disclosed for business purposes in the preceding 12 months (see Sections 9 and 10 above); (iii) the right to require us to respond to verifiable requests with disclosures about our collection, sale, or disclosure of your personal information (such requests may be made by contacting us as described in Section 14 below); (iv) the right to access a copy of the specific pieces of personal information that we have collected about you (see Section 14 below); (v) the right to request that we delete, and request any third-party service providers to delete, any personal information collected about you (see Section 14 below); and (vi) the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information to third parties (note, we do not sell or rent personally-identifying information collected during your use of the website / app to third parties without your permission).
