Privacy Policy
What You Need to Know About Our Privacy Policy - How We Protect Your Data
There is no single, all-encompassing data set that we collect from you. Rather, we collect many different types of data, depending on your specific relationship with us. The following are examples of what we collect and what they are used for:
- Account and login information: If you create an account on our website, we collect your email address and password, along with your first name, last name and phone number. This data is used to verify your identity and to protect your account, as well as to provide you with customer support.
- Payment and billing information: If you purchase our goods or services, we collect your full name, address, email address, payment method, payment transaction details and, if you are a subscription member, your payment method and billing information. This data is used for billing, order fulfillment and to provide customer support.
- Communications: If you contact us in any way we collect your name and email address. This data is used to respond to your query.
- Website Usage: We collect data related to your use of our services, including your IP address, the date and time you use our services, your browsing history on our website, your device and browser type and language, your operating system, your click-through and exit pages, your interaction with our website (e.g. number of clicks, amount of time spent on a page) and the content you view or engage with. This data is primarily used to administer our services and improve their reliability and efficacy.
Why Do We Need This?
There are many reasons we collect and store your data, but they all boil down to one simple principle: Our company needs to know who you are and what you do in order to give you the best possible experience. This data is the foundation of our ability to provide you with the products and services you want and need. Without it, we would be unable to protect you from identity theft, fraud or data breaches. We would not be able to ensure the quality of our services or be able to communicate with you when necessary. In short, we would be unable to operate as a company without it.
How Do we Store Your Data?
As this privacy policy explains, we collect personal data from you when you create an account, purchase our services, interact with our website, app or connected services, or participate in our surveys. Your privacy is of the utmost importance to us, which is why we take all steps necessary to ensure that your information is kept secure against data breaches and misuse.
Unfortunately, no system can ever be 100 percent impenetrable. That said, we employ a range of security measures to protect your data, including:
- Storing your data on secure servers that are monitored by an Information Technology department 24/7
- Limiting internal access to your personal information to only those who need it to perform their jobs
- Implementing a strict policy against the sharing of customer data with third parties.
How Do We Defend It?
As stated above, we employ a wide range of security tools and protocols to protect your data from cyber threats. In addition, we also take steps to educate you on best practices for protecting your data from malicious threats. These include:
- Educating our users on the dangers of phishing scams, malware and other threats to their privacy
- Providing tips on how to safeguard your data from identity theft and fraud
- Auditing and updating our internal security protocols on a regular basis.
Why Do we Bother?
Beyond the fact that it is the right thing to do, protecting your data is important to us for a number of reasons, including the following:
- Identity Theft: Identity thieves are increasingly sophisticated in their use of technology. As a result, data breaches are becoming increasingly common. Protecting your data is the best way to protect your identity.
- Fraud: Fraudsters often use stolen identities to commit financial fraud. Protecting your information is the best way to protect your finances.
- Poor Customer Experience: If you are worried about your private information falling into the wrong hands, you are likely to be uncomfortable providing it to companies. This makes it difficult for companies to provide you with the services you want and need.
In Conclusion...
While it is important to remember that data breaches and misuse of user information can occur anywhere, we are committed to protecting your data and ensuring that it remains secure. To this end, we employ a wide range of security tools and protocols, including storing your data on secure servers and limiting internal access to your information. If you have any questions or concerns about our data collection and usage practices, please do not hesitate to contact us.
In the event of a data breach, we will inform you as quickly as possible and provide steps you can take to protect your identity and finances. In the meantime, you can also do your part by actively protecting your data and being wary of suspicious emails and websites.
