Protecting your privacy is really important to us. With this in mind, we’re providing this Privacy Policy to explain our practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of information that we receive through our Site. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party websites, services or applications, even if they are accessible through our Site. Also, please note that, unless we define a term in this Privacy Policy, all capitalized terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our  Terms of Service. So, please make sure that you have read and understand our Terms of Service.

 

Revisions to this Privacy Policy

Any information that is collected via our Site is covered by the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected. We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we’ll notify you of those changes by posting them on the Site or by sending you an email or other notification, and we’ll update the “Last Updated” date above to indicate when those changes will become effective.

 

Collection and Use of Information

 

Information Collected or Received from You

Our primary goals in collecting information from you are to provide to you and improve our Site, to administer your access and use of the Site, and to enable you to enjoy the Services and easily navigate our Site.

 

Information You Provide Us. If you would like to learn more about our products and services, you may contact us via the Site. If you contact us, we will collect certain information that can be used to identify you, such as your first name, last name, email address, and phone number (collectively, “PII”), in addition to any additional comments you submit through our Site.

 

Information Collected Using Cookies and other Web Technologies.  Like many website owners and operators, we use automated data collection tools such as Cookies and Web Beacons to collect certain information.

 

“Cookies” are small text files that are placed on your device by a Web server when you access our Site. We may use both session Cookies and persistent Cookies to identify that you’ve logged in to the Site and to tell us how and when you interact with our Site. We may also use Cookies to monitor aggregate usage and web traffic routing on our Site and to customize and improve our Site. Unlike persistent Cookies, session Cookies are deleted when you log off from the Site and close your browser. Although most browsers automatically accept Cookies, you can change your browser options to stop automatically accepting Cookies or to prompt you before accepting Cookies. Please note, however, that if you don’t accept Cookies, you may not be able to access all portions or features of the Site. Some third-party website providers that we engage may also place their own Cookies on your device. Note that this Privacy Policy covers only our use of Cookies and does not include use of Cookies by such third parties.

 

“Web Beacons” (also known as Web bugs, pixel tags or clear GIFs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that may be included on our Site for several purposes, including to deliver or communicate with Cookies, to track and measure the performance of our Site, and to monitor how many visitors view our Site. Unlike Cookies, which are stored on the user’s device, Web Beacons are typically embedded invisibly on web pages. We may also include web beacons in e-mails to understand whether messages have been opened, acted on, or forwarded.

 

Information Related to Your Use of the Site. Our servers automatically record certain information about how a person uses our Site (we refer to this information as “Log Data”). Log Data may include information such as a user’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, the web page that a user was visiting before accessing our Site, the pages or features of our Site to which a user browsed and the time spent on those pages or features, search terms, the links on our Site that a user clicked on and other statistics. We use Log Data to administer the Site and we analyze (and may engage third parties to analyze) Log Data to improve, customize and enhance our Site by expanding its features and functionality, and tailoring them to our user’s needs and preferences. We may also use a person’s IP address to generate aggregate, non-identifying information about how our Site is used.

 

Information Collected for Marketing Purposes. We may collect certain information, such as first and last names and email addresses, for marketing purposes including sending newsletters and promotional emails. We may contact you via email for marketing purposes (i.e. to send newsletters and promotional emails).

 

Information that We Share with Third Parties

We will not share any PII that we have collected from or regarding you except as described below:

 

Information Shared with Our Service Providers. We may engage third-party service providers to work with us to administer and provide the Site. These third-party service providers, such as website hosting service providers, have access to your PII only for the purpose of operating the Site on our behalf.

 

Information Disclosed in Connection with Business Transactions.  Information that we collect from our users, including PII, is considered to be a business asset. Thus, if we are acquired by a third party as a result of a transaction such as a merger, acquisition or asset sale or if our assets are acquired by a third party in the event we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, some or all of our assets, including your PII, may be disclosed or transferred to a third-party acquirer in connection with the transaction. This information, including your PII, will continue to be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy in the event of a transaction.

 

Information Disclosed for Our Protection and the Protection of Others . We cooperate with government and law enforcement officials or private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We may disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate: (i) to respond to claims, legal process (including subpoenas); (ii) to protect our property, rights and safety and the property, rights and safety of a third party or the public in general; and (iii) to stop any activity that we consider illegal, unethical or legally actionable activity.

When you receive such promotional communications from us, you will have the opportunity to “opt-out” (by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the e-mail you receive). We do need to send you certain communications regarding the Site and you will not be able to opt out of those communications – e.g., communications regarding updates to our Terms of Service or this Privacy Policy or information about billing.

Right to Object to Processing. You have the right to object to or opt out of certain uses of your PII. Where you have consented to the processing of your PII, you may withdraw that consent at any time and prevent further processing by contacting us as described below. Even if you opt out, we may still collect and use non-PII regarding your activities on our Site for other legal purposes as described above.

 

Rights of Access, Rectification, Erasure, and Restriction. In accordance with applicable law, you may have the right to: (i) request confirmation of whether we are processing your PII; (ii) obtain access to or a copy of your PII (iii) receive an electronic copy of PII that you have provided to us, or ask us to send that information to another company (the “right of data portability”); (iv) restrict our uses of your PII; (v) seek correction or amendment of inaccurate, untrue, incomplete, or improperly processed PII; and (vi) request erasure of PII held about you by Boardroom Alpha, subject to certain exceptions prescribed by law.
