Our practices regarding information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected.<\/p>\n This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of your personally identifiable information. “Personal Information<\/strong>” generally refers to any unencrypted or non-deidentified information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked with a particular person. However, the definition of Personal Information may vary depending on the state or country in which you reside, and that state’s or country’s definition will apply to your Personal Information in the context of this Privacy Policy. Please see additional information below on the particular information we may collect.<\/p>\n Personal Information does not include information publicly available from government records or information excluded by applicable law. Personal Information also does not include your Personal Information that has been deidentified, pseudonymized, anonymized, aggregated, and\/or otherwise processed so as to be unidentifiable in such a way that the data can no longer be attributed to a specific individual (by reasonable means) without the use of additional information, and where such additional information is kept separate and under adequate security to prevent unauthorized re-identification of a specific individual such that one could not, using reasonable efforts, link such information back to a specific individual (collectively, all of the foregoing in this sentence being referred to as “De-Identified Personal Information<\/strong>“). <\/p>\nWe also may collect Personal Information from you through means other than our Website. This may include offline collection, such as if you submit a paper application, make a payment by check, or call or visit our office. It also may include emails, text messages, or other electronic communications that you send to us separate from our Website or by way of our Service Providers (as defined herein). However, if we combine the Personal Information we collect from you outside of our Website with Personal Information that is collected through our Website or by another means as described above, the Privacy Policy will apply to the combined information, unless specifically disclosed otherwise. We do not knowingly collect, solicit or maintain Personal Information from anyone under the age of at least 18 (or 21 where legally required) or knowingly allow such persons to register for or use our Services. If you are under such age, please do not send any Personal Information about yourself (such as your name, address, telephone number, or email address) to us. In the event that we learn that we have collected Personal Information from a child under age 18 without verification of parental consent, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete that information from our database. Please contact us if you have any concerns. <\/p>\n We collect several categories of Personal Information from and about you as summarized in the following table:<\/p>\nCategory<\/strong>\nSpecific Items of Personal Information<\/strong>\nIdentifiers\nfirst and last name Information You Provide Us<\/u><\/strong>. The Personal Information we collect through our Website, or from our distributors, resellers, franchisees, representatives, business partners, service providers, affiliates, divisions, and subsidiaries may include the following:<\/p>\n Information We Collect Through Automatic Data Collection Technologies<\/u><\/strong>. As you navigate through and interact with our Website, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns, including the following:<\/p>\n Behavioral Tracking<\/u><\/strong>. We also may use these technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services, or associate Personal Information with other information collected in this manner. <\/p>\n Cursor Tracking<\/u><\/strong>. We or our Service Providers may keep track of and\/or collect cursor movements of Website visitors before your use or purchase of a Product or Service from our Website (and before we have any email address or other information about you (other than IP address) which would specifically identify you), but, this information is anonymous and, at the time of collection, we do not directly associate or attempt to associate this information with you as an identifiable individual. If you sign up to receive our emails (e.g., through the popup box that appears) we then do have the ability going forward to associate the cursor information with the email address you provide. We use this information solely for the purpose of improving our Website to improve our customers’ user experience (e.g., improving navigation, readability, etc.). <\/p>\n The information we collect automatically is statistical data and may include Personal Information, and we may maintain it or associate it with Personal Information we collect in other ways or receive from third parties. It helps us to improve our Website and to deliver better and more personalized Products and Services, including, but not limited to, by enabling us to: estimate our audience\/visitor size and usage patterns, store information about your preferences, allowing us to customize and improve our Website, speed up your searches, and\/or, recognize you when you return to our Website.<\/p>\n The technologies we use for automatic data collection may include cookies, local storage cookies, web beacons, pixel tracking, GIF, IP address, and other technologies. Each of these is discussed below.<\/p>\nBrowser Cookies<\/em> It is possible that you will come across third-party cookies on some pages of sites that are not under our control.<\/p>\n We also use cookies such as functionality cookies to implement tracking technology on our Website and Mobile App. This allows us to display advertising that is tailored to you on our Website, to understand which parts of our content interest you the most, and which Product or Service categories you request. This tracking uses De-Identified Personal Information data. Some of our service providers are allowed to place cookies on our Website. Those companies also may provide you with the option of preventing the use of cookies in the future. For more information, contact the relevant third-party provider. <\/p>\n At any time, you can prevent the use of cookies in the future. You may activate the appropriate setting in your browser to refuse to accept browser cookies. However, if you do, your experience on our Website may be affected; e.g., you may be unable to access certain parts of our Website. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Website.<\/p>\nLocal Storage Cookies<\/em> Web Beacons<\/u><\/strong>. Pages of our Website and our emails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count visitors who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity). <\/p>\n Pixel Tracking<\/u><\/strong>. In addition to using cookies, the Website may employ “pixel tracking,” a common process which may be used in connection with advertisements on other sites. Pixel tracking involves the use of pixel tags that are not visible to the user and consist of a few lines of computer code. Pixel tracking measures the effectiveness of advertisements and compiles aggregate and specific usage statistics. A “pixel tag” is an invisible tag placed on certain pages of websites that is used to track an individual user’s activity. We may access these pixel tags to identify activity and interests that may allow us to better match our Products, Services, and offers with your interests and needs. For example, if you visit our Website from an advertisement on another website, the pixel tag will allow the advertiser to track that its advertisement brought you to the Website. If you visit our Website, and we link you to another website, we also may be able to determine that you were sent to and\/or transacted with a third-party website. This data is collected for use in our marketing, research, and other activities.<\/p>\n GIF<\/u><\/strong>. We may use tiny images known as clear GIFs to track behavior of users, including statistics on who opens our emails.<\/p>\n IP Address<\/u><\/strong>. Our servers (or those of our service providers) automatically record certain log file information reported from your browser when you access the Website. These server logs may include information such as which pages of the Website you visited, your internet protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, and other information on how you interact with the Website. These log files are generally deleted periodically.<\/p>\n Transmitting Personal Information from our Website<\/strong>. We respond to the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal. The GPC signal is a browser-level signal that can reflect the desire to opt-out of having Personal Information shared or sold. Some browsers allow transmission of GPC signal. By broadcasting this signal, we will not transmit your Personal Information to third parties who perform analytics services or who advertise to you based on this information. Please note that when your browser broadcasts the GPC signal, we will limit the functionality of our Website and prevent the Website from transmitting your Personal Information to third parties. We will also treat this GPC signal as a verified request to stop selling your Personal Information and stop processing your information for purposes of targeted advertising. However, the GPC signal does not fully identify you by name or email address. Therefore, we may not be able to honor this request for other interactions you may have or have had with us. You may also submit an opt-out privacy request with your email, phone number and other Personal Information for us to complete the opt-out process.<\/p>\nInformation We Collect from Third Parties<\/strong> Third Party Services<\/strong>.\u00a0If you link, connect, or login to your account with a third party social media service (e.g., Facebook, Google, Instagram, Yelp, etc.), the third party service may send us information such as your registration and profile information from that service. This information varies and is controlled by that service or as authorized by you via your privacy settings at that service.<\/p>\n Other Sources<\/strong>.\u00a0To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may receive additional information about you, such as demographic data or fraud detection information, from third party service providers and\/or partners, and combine it with information we have about you. For example, we may receive background check results or fraud warnings from service providers like identity verification services for our fraud prevention and risk assessment efforts. We may receive information about you and your activities on and off the Website through partnerships, or about your experiences and interactions from our partner ad networks. Other examples of such providers include, but are not limited to, backend processing, fulfillment, automation, certification, video hosting platform, email management, authentication, form processing, website usage tracking, managing calendar invites and scheduling, and database hosting and management.<\/p>\n Some content or applications, including advertisements, on the Website or Mobile App is served by third parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, content providers and application providers. First-party or third-party cookies may be used alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies to collect or compile information regarding user interactions with ad impressions and other ad service functions as they relate to our Website. A first-party cookie is a cookie set by the domain name that appears in the browser address bar. A third-party cookie is a cookie set by (and on) a domain name that is not the domain name that appears in the browser address bar. It might be set as part of a side resource load (image, JS, iframe, etc., from a different hostname) or an AJAX HTTP request to a third-party server. The information that first-party and third-party cookies collect may be associated with your Personal Information or they may collect information, including Personal Information, about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services (i.e., tracking such activities). They may use this information to provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content. <\/p>\n We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly. We, along with third-party vendors such as Google, use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) or other third-party identifiers together to compile data regarding user interactions with ad impressions and other ad service functions as they relate to our Website. More information on how to opt-out of third-party advertiser tracking mechanisms is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\nGoogle Tools<\/u><\/strong>. We use tools provided by Google as described below. Google Maps\/Google Earth<\/em>. We also use Google Maps (including the Google Maps API(s)) and\/or Google Earth, which may, among other things, request access to your geolocation, and both of which are subject to their own terms of use and privacy policy.<\/p>\n Google reCAPTCHA<\/em>. We use Google reCAPTCHA, which identifies bots by collecting hardware and software information and sending that data to Google for analysis. More about Google reCAPTCHA is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Users can set preferences for how Google advertises to you using the Google Ad Settings page. Alternatively, you can opt out by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative Opt Out page or by using the Google Analytics Opt Out Browser add-on.<\/p>\n For any comments, reviews, or other content regarding us that you post on our Facebook or other social media sites, or on other websites, e.g., Google, Yelp, Trip Advisor, Instagram, etc. (collectively, “Content<\/strong>“), you agree to and do hereby grant us and our licensors, affiliates, partners, successors and assigns, a nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, sublicensable, transferrable, royalty-free right and license to use, store, publicly display, perform, publish, transmit, transfer, distribute, translate, reproduce, rearrange, edit, redact, modify, aggregate, summarize, abstract, adapt, and create derivative works of the Content that you post or otherwise submit to us for any purpose, in any form, medium, or technology now known or later developed.<\/p>\n We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any Personal Information, for one or more of the following purposes:<\/p>\n We use cookies, clear gifs, and log file information to: (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Website; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c) monitor the effectiveness of our Services; (d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, traffic, and demographic patterns; (e) diagnose or fix technology problems reported by our users or engineers that are associated with certain IP addresses; and\/or, (f) help you efficiently access your information after you sign in.<\/p>\n We may use your Personal Information you provide us and which we obtain from other sources to better understand your interests so we can try to predict what other products, services, and information you might be most interested in. This practice involves making automated decisions about you based on this information in order to better enable us to tailor our interactions with you to make them more relevant and interesting. You may object to our doing this at any time by contacting us (see the Contact Information\/User Rights section below). <\/p>\n We may use the information we have collected from you to enable us to display advertisements to our advertisers’ target audiences. Even though we do not disclose your Personal Information for these purposes without your consent, if you click on or otherwise interact with an advertisement, the advertiser may assume that you meet its target criteria.<\/p>\n Text Messages<\/strong>. Our Services may include sending you Short Message Service (“SMS<\/strong>“) messages, which may deliver up to ten messages per day (unless you communicate further with us) to your wireless device, but message frequency may vary. We may use your information to contact you about your account, purchases, returns (if available), Website updates, conduct surveys, or informational and service-related communications, including important security updates. You may remove your information by replying “STOP” to the SMS text message you received. After you send the SMS message “STOP” to us, we will send you an SMS message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. Alternatively, you may submit your request by email to us, including the email address and phone number you registered with us, or by any reasonable means. After this, you will no longer receive SMS messages from us. If you want to join again, just sign up as you did the first time and we will start sending SMS messages to you again. For help, please reply to a text with HELP. Message and data rates may apply, depending on your cell phone plan.

This includes, without limitation, Service Providers which provide services relating to: outbound and\/or inbound communications, data analysis, credit checks, screening checks, collection services, marketing assistance, managing customer information, creating, hosting, and\/or providing customer or support services on our behalf, fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and email, removing repetitive information from customer lists, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, or managing our conferences and other events. These Service Providers may have access to your Personal Information in order to provide these services to us or on our behalf. If we engage Service Providers for any of the foregoing, use of your Personal Information will be bound by obligations of confidentiality and their use of Personal Information will be restricted to providing their services to us. We may store Personal Information in locations outside our direct control (for instance, on servers or databases located or co-located with hosting Service Providers). <\/p>\n Event-Related Disclosure<\/u><\/strong>. From time to time, we may conduct events, run contests, make special offers, or other activities (“Events”), possibly together with an exhibitor, sponsor or other Service Provider. If you provide information to such third parties, you give them permission to use it for the purpose of that Event and any other use to which you consent. We cannot control such third parties’ use of your information. If you do not want your information to be collected by or disclosed to such third parties, you can choose not to participate in these Events. We may disclose your Personal Information with exhibitors for their marketing and commercial purposes (including, but not limited to, their sending you marketing and related communications), but only if you have both registered for a conference and either had your attendee credentials scanned by the exhibitor at its booth or enter an exhibitor’s booth virtually online (this does not apply to casual website visitors or conference attendees who are not registered to enter the exhibit hall).<\/p>\n Required Disclosures<\/u><\/strong>. Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose your Personal Information to any third party unless required to do so by law, court order, legal process (e.g., subpoena), including, but not limited to, in order to respond to any government, regulatory, or licensing request, or if we believe that such action is necessary to: (a) comply with the law, comply with legal process served on us or our affiliates, subsidiaries, service providers, or partners, or investigate, prevent; (b) enforce our Terms or customer agreement (including for billing and collection purposes); (c) take precautions against liability; (d) investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations or to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities; (e) assist government enforcement agencies or to meet national or other security requirements; (f) to protect the security or integrity of our Website, Products, Services, or Mobile App; or, (g) exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of us, our users or others. We will attempt to notify you, where reasonably practicable, about these requests unless: (i) providing notice is prohibited by the legal process itself, by court order we receive, or by applicable law or regulation, or (ii) we believe that providing notice would be futile, ineffective, create a risk of harm to an individual or group, or create or increase a risk of acts of fraud done upon us or our users. In instances where we comply with legal requests without notice for these reasons, we will attempt to notify that user about the request after the fact if we determine in good faith that we are no longer legally prohibited from doing so and that no risk scenarios described in this paragraph apply.<\/p>\n Disclosure of De-Identified Personal Information<\/u><\/strong>. We may share De-Identified Personal Information with third parties for any purpose except as prohibited by applicable law, including, but not limited to, the following. De-Identified Personal Information or non-Personal Information may be aggregated for system administration and to monitor usage of the Website. It may be utilized to measure the number of visits to our Website, average time spent, number of pages viewed and to monitor various other Website statistics. This monitoring helps us evaluate how visitors use and navigate our Website so we can improve the content. We may share De-Identified Personal Information or anonymous information (including, but not limited to, anonymous usage data, referring\/exit pages and URLs, IP address, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third parties in any way we choose and for any purpose. We may disclose, sell, rent, etc., your De-Identified Personal Information to third parties and we may receive valuable consideration for doing so.<\/p>\n Your Consent to Disclosure\/Transfer\/Sale of Your Personal Information<\/u><\/strong>. You consent to (and shall not object) our disclosure, transfer, and\/or sale of your Personal Information, De-Identified Personal Information, and other information you provide to us, as well as the rights you have granted or consented to in this Privacy Policy (collectively, “Transferred Information<\/strong>“) to a potential or actual buyer or acquirer of assets or equity of our company or other successor for the purpose of considering or undergoing a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, change in control, or sale or transfer of some or all of our assets (each of the foregoing referred to as a “Transfer<\/strong>“), whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation or other court proceeding, in which Personal Information held by us is among the assets transferred. We cannot make any representations regarding the use or transfer of Transferred Information that we may have in the event of our bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership, or an assignment for the benefit of creditors. Furthermore, except as required by law, we are not and will not be responsible for any breach of security by any third parties or for any actions of any third parties that receive any of the Transferred Information that is disclosed to us.<\/p>\n We have implemented technical, administrative, and organizational security measures designed to secure your Personal Information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, destruction, alteration and disclosure. Your Personal Information is stored behind secured networks and a firewall and is only accessible by our personnel and by a limited number of Service Providers who have special access rights to our systems, and who are required to keep the information confidential. Our Website, software, and Mobile App software are scanned on a regular basis for security holes and known vulnerabilities in order to make your visit to our Website Mobile App safe. <\/p>\n Any payment transactions involving credit or debit cards will be performed using our third party payment processors or gateways, who will use appropriate security procedures designed to protect your information. We do not collect or store full credit card numbers. <\/p>\n Our agents, contractors, Service Providers, and partners who require access to your Personal Information in order to provide services to us or to you on our behalf are also required to keep the information confidential in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and are not permitted to disclose the information to third parties or use the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for us, or as permitted pursuant to our agreement with them.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do use security measures designed to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted to us or which we obtain. Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. Unauthorized entry or use, or hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website or used with our Services.<\/p>\n The safety and security of your information also depends on you. You should maintain good internet security practices. Where you have password-protected access to an account or certain parts of the Website or Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. Please help keep your account safe by using a strong password, or, better yet, a strong pass phrase. You should not share your password with anyone. You must prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password appropriately and limiting access to your computer or mobile device and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account. If your email account is compromised this could allow access to your account with us if you have given up those details and\/or permitted access through those accounts. If your email account is compromised it could be used to ask us to reset a password and gain access to your account with us. If you think that your account has been compromised you should change your account credentials with us, and in particular make sure any compromised account does not allow access to your account with us. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by other users. We will never email you to ask for your password or other account login information. If you receive such an email, please send it to us so we can investigate.<\/p>\n You hereby release and forever discharge us and our affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, and agents, and their respective successors and assigns, and you will indemnify, defend and hold us harmless, from and against any liability, claim, or cost (including attorneys’ fees), arising directly or indirectly from any failure by you to maintain the security of your email or other accounts that directly or indirectly results in an unauthorized third party having access to such email or accounts or causes us to transfer funds based on instructions purporting to have originated from you (i.e., “wire transfer fraud” or “business email compromise” events).<\/p>\n In general, our retention of Personal Information is reasonably necessary and proportionate to achieve the purposes for which the Personal Information was collected or processed, or for another disclosed purpose that is compatible with the context in which the Personal Information was collected, and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes. The time period for which we retain your Personal Information depend on the purposes for which we use it. We will retain your Personal Information for as long as your account is active, or as long as you are a registered account holder or user of our Services or for as long as we have another business purpose to do so (such as, but not limited to, for business, tax, or legal purposes) and, thereafter, for no longer than is required or permitted by law, or our records retention policy, reasonably necessary for internal reporting and reconciliation purposes, or to provide you with feedback or information you might request. This period of retention is subject to our review and alteration. We will also retain Usage Data for analytics purposes for as long as we like. “Usage Data” refers to data collected automatically, either generated by the use of the Service or from the Service infrastructure itself (for example, the duration of a page visit).Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our Service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods. <\/p>\n Following termination or deactivation of your user account, we may retain your profile information and all information posted to public areas of the Website. Following termination or deactivation of your user account, we may retain your Personal Information and other data, but will maintain it as confidential according to the Terms, this Privacy Policy, and as required by applicable law. We have the right to delete all of your Personal Information and other data after termination of your user account without notice to you.<\/p>\n We may retain De-Identified Personal Information for as long as we deem appropriate.<\/p>\n Through your user account settings page, you may access and, in some cases, edit, or delete certain information you have provided to us, such as name and password, email address, address, user profile information, etc. The information that you can view, update, and delete may change as the Products, Website, Services or our practices change. If you have any questions about viewing or updating information we have on file about you, please contact us.<\/p>\n How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals<\/u>. CalOPPA requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser Do Not Track (“DNT<\/strong>“) signals. DNT is a privacy preference you can set in your web browser to indicate that you do not want certain information about your webpage visits collected across websites when you have not interacted with that service on the page. For details, including how to turn on DNT, see here<\/a>. Because there currently isn’t an industry or legal standard recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we don’t respond to them at this time. We await the result of work by the privacy community and industry to determine when such a response is appropriate and what form it should take. <\/p>\n You can visit our Website anonymously by adjusting the settings in your browser. <\/p>\n Third-Party Behavioral Tracking<\/u>. We do not allow third-party behavioral tracking of Personal Information, though we may use De-Identified Personal Information to track users’ click and\/or browsing patterns. <\/p>\n By providing us with your phone number and\/or email address (including by “following”, “liking”, linking your account to our Website or Service or other services, etc., on a third party website or network), you consent to our using the email address and\/or phone number to send you Service-related notices by email, text, or by calling you, including any notices required by law (e.g., notice of data privacy or security incidents), in lieu of communication by postal mail. You also agree that we may send you notifications by email, phone, or text, of activity regarding our Services, the Website, your Personal Information, or any aspect of our relationship, to the email address or phone number you give us, in accordance with any applicable privacy settings. We may use your email address to send you other messages or content, such as, but not limited to, newsletters, additions or changes to features of the Service, or special offers. If you do not want to receive such email messages, you may opt out by emailing us your opt-out request or, where available, by clicking “unsubscribe” at the bottom of our e-newsletter. Opting out may prevent you from receiving email messages regarding updates, improvements, special features, announcements, or offers. You may not opt out of Service-related emails. You can add, update, or delete information as explained above. When you update information, however, we may maintain a copy of the unrevised information in our records.
