Privacy Policy

We will never sell personal data

When you share information with us, we believe in being transparent as to how we are using your information and the ways in which you can protect your privacy.

Our Privacy Policy explains:

  • What information we collect and why we collect it.
  • How we use that information.

Your privacy matters to us so we will never sell your information to a third party.

 

Information we collect

We collect information to provide better communication and offers to all of our users – from figuring out basic stuff like which ads you find most relevant to you, to what offers mean the most to you.

We collect information in the following ways:

    • Information you give us. For example, many of our pages require you tell us a bit about yourself via a webform, like your name, email address, or telephone number.

 

  • Cookies and similar technologies.

 

    • We use various technologies to collect and store information when you visit our websites, and this may include using cookies or similar technologies to identify your browser or device. We also use these technologies to collect and store information when you interact with advertising that may appear on other sites. We use Google Analytics to help us analyze the traffic to our websites and apps. When used in conjunction with advertising services Google Analytics information is captured with information about visits to multiple sites.

How we use information we collect

We use the information we collect from all of our forms to offer you tailored content – like giving you more relevant search results and ads, promotional offers, or special incentives.

We will respect the choices you make to unsubscribe from email ads or promotions.

When you contact us, we keep a record of your communication to help solve any issues you might be facing. We may use your email address to inform you about our services, such as letting you know about upcoming promotions, or displaying ads you may find relevant.

We use information collected from cookies and other technologies to improve your user experience and the overall quality of communication. One of the products we use to do this is Google Analytics. For example, by saving your language preferences, we’ll be able to have our ads appear in the language you prefer. When showing you tailored ads, we will not associate an identifier from cookies or similar technologies with sensitive categories, such as those based on race, religion, sexual orientation or health.

We will ask for your consent before using information for a purpose other than those that are set out in this Privacy Policy.

Transparency and choice

People have different privacy concerns. Our goal is to be clear about what information we collect, so that you can make meaningful choices about how it is used. You may also set your browser to block all cookies, including cookies associated with our communication, or to indicate when a cookie is being set by us. However, it’s important to remember that many of our sites may not function if your cookies are disabled.

Communications

We may use your personal information to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials, and other information that may be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving any, or all, of these communications from us by following the unsubscribe link or instructions provided in any email we send.

Accessing and updating your personal information

Whenever you receive our communications, we aim to provide you with accurate information. If that information is wrong, we strive to update it quickly or to delete it – unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes. When updating your personal information, we may ask you to verify your identity before we can act on your request.

We may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (for example, developing a new system or fundamentally changing an existing practice), risk the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup systems).

Where we can provide information access and correction, we will do so for free, except where it would require a disproportionate effort. We aim to maintain our services in a manner that protects information from accidental or malicious destruction. Because of this, after you delete information from our services, we may not immediately delete residual copies from our active servers and may not remove information from our backup systems.

 

Information we share

We do not share personal information with companies, organizations and individuals outside unless one of the following circumstances applies:

 

  • With your consent

 

      • We will share personal information with companies, organizations or individuals of a third party when we have your consent to do so.

 

  • For external processing

 

      • We provide personal information to 3rd party services or other trusted businesses or persons to process it for us, based on our instructions and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

 

  • For legal reasons

 

    • We will share personal information with companies, organizations or individuals of a 3rd party if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:
    • meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request.
    • enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations.
    • detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.
    • protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of our team, our users or the public as required or permitted by law.

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, we may transfer or otherwise share some or all of your personally identifiable information. You may Opt out based on the terms set forth by the new entities privacy policy.

Information security

All of our sites use industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to allow for the encryption of personal data such as your name, address, phone number, and email. We engage with industry leaders in online security and site verification to ensure the security of our sites. We processes personal information on servers in many countries around the world. We may process your personal information on a server located outside the country where you live.

 

When this Privacy Policy applies

Our Privacy Policy applies to all of our websites, and services offered on other sites (such as advertising services), but excludes services that have separate privacy policies that do not incorporate this Privacy Policy.

Our Privacy Policy does not apply to services offered by other companies or individuals, including products or sites that may be linked from our websites. Our Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices of other companies and organizations who advertise our services, and who may use cookies, pixel tags and other technologies to serve and offer relevant ads.

 

Compliance and cooperation with regulatory authorities

We regularly review our compliance with our Privacy Policy. We also adhere to several frameworks. When we receive formal written complaints, we will contact the person who made the complaint to follow up. We work with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of personal data that we cannot resolve with our users directly.

Changes

Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent. We will post any privacy policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of privacy policy changes).
