We use the term “Visitor” to mean a member of the general public that reads content on a Site, comments on content, or purchases products on a Site. We use the term “Client” to mean a business that advertises its services through our Sites. 

Personal Information pertains to information provided by a Visitor that permits an individual to be identified or contacted. Personal Information includes, for example: your name; age or date of birth; postal address; e-mail address; telephone number; wireless device address; text message address; screen name or username; photograph; gender; geolocation information; payment card and other payment information; event dates and related information; and demographic information.

On some of our Sites, you may not be able to participate in certain activities or access certain content, unless you provide us with the requested Personal Information. We generally collect Personal Information that you voluntarily provide, together with information collected from third parties and as agents on behalf of our Clients where we, or they, have obtained the requisite consent, or as otherwise permitted or required by law. 

Personal Information, however, does not include publicly available information provided by Clients for business purposes, including your business name, business address and contact information, (including physical address, email address and phone number). 

By providing Personal Information to us, you are consenting to its collection, use and disclosure in accordance with this Policy and as permitted or required by law. Should you provide us with Personal Information pertaining to another individual, you are representing that you have obtained the necessary consent or authority to permit us to collect, use and disclose such Personal Information in accordance with this Policy and as permitted or required by law. 

How We May Use Your Information 

We will not sell any of your Personal Information or business information of a confidential nature to third parties. We also do not disclose your Personal Information or business information without your explicit consent, except as specified in this policy. 

We may use the information described in this Policy to provide and improve our services and products, for billing and payments, for identification and authentication purposes, to contact members or interested parties, and for general research and aggregate reporting.

When you join our Site, you are required to provide a valid email address at registration and choose a username or alias that may represent your identity on our Site. Your username, or alias is publicly displayed and connected to your activity on our website. Other people may see your feedback, ratings, and comments in community spaces.

Depending on the product, we may require additional information, such as a business name and address, telephone number, billing and payment information (including credit card information). Credit card information on an account will be securely stored and used for both billing and payment purposes. 

When third party service providers are engaged (e.g. for office administration or data processing), they are contractually obligated to protect the confidentiality of the Personal Information entrusted to them. 

We aim to keep Personal Information supplied to us confidential and we do not sell Personal Information to outside parties. 

Tracking Technologies 

We automatically receive and record some information from your browser when you visit the Site, such as your IP address, cookies and data about which pages you visit on the Site through the use of log files provided by our third-party tracking-utility partners. This information helps us analyse and understand how the Site works for Visitors and Clients, and to provide a more personalized experience. 

By using our Site, you agree to our use of these tracking technologies. 

Social Networking 

Some Visitors and Clients may connect to or register an account with our Site using third party social networking or blogging platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest and LinkedIn, or such other application that might interface with our Site.

We may receive some data from those connected third-party applications. 

In addition, some providers of third party social networking or blogging platforms we utilize have their own privacy policies which explain how the third parties that provide them may collect, use and protect your information (e.g., if you establish an account with such platform providers directly). 

Use of Site by Minors 

Our Terms of Use require all account owners to be at least eighteen (18) years of age (or have the permission and supervision of a responsible parent or legal guardian). Therefore, this Policy does not discuss use of our Site or services by minors. 

Security 

We use various efforts intended to safeguard the security and integrity of Personal Information collected on this Site. For example, where appropriate, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), private networks, intrusion detection measures and firewalls, and payment card information is encrypted in our system. We also have in place various access controls and restrictions with respect to Personal Information, such as restricting certain employees from accessing Personal Information, requiring our employees to use password-protected screen-savers when they leave their desk and passwords to regain access upon their return, and keeping employees up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.  

Despite these measures, however, we cannot and do not guarantee that information will be absolutely safe from interception during transmission or intrusion during storage, while stored on our system, or otherwise. 

We only keep Personal Information as long as it is required, for the reasons it was collected or in compliance with legal and business mandates. We may use analytics programs (i.e., Google Analytics) and other Internet tools to improve this Site, and therefore cannot attest to the security of those third party operations. 

Changes to this Policy 

We reserve the right to modify or amend this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will let you know by posting the changed Policy on this page. We encourage you to regularly review our current Policy at ourtreasuredmemories.com.
