  • Participate in any of our programs or events, including sweepstakes, contests, or surveys
  • Shop with our third-party partners
  • Interact with us through Other Interactions

 

We may provide different or additional privacy notices in connection with certain activities, programs, and offerings. Additionally, we may provide additional “just-in-time” notices or notices at collection that may supplement or clarify our privacy practices or provide you with additional choices regarding your Personal Information.

 

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM YOU

 

We use the term “Personal Information” – also called “personal data” or “personally identifiable information” in the laws of some jurisdictions – to refer to information that reasonably identifies, relates to, describes, or can be associated with you. Data that has been deidentified or that otherwise cannot reasonably be related back to a specific person is not considered Personal Information. The precise definition of Personal Information may vary depending on your place of residence.

 

The following are the categories and types of Personal Information that we may collect from or about you, depending on how you interact with the Website or through Other Interactions:

  • Identifiers, such as your name, telephone number, email address, and physical address;

  • Geolocation or other information that permits us to determine your location;
  • Inferences drawn from Personal Information; and
  • Any other Personal Information that you voluntarily provide us.

 

NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION

 

We may collect information that is not Personal Information (“Non-Personal Information”).  For example, we may use information that is Aggregate Information to calculate the percentage of our customers who live in a particular area.  Because Non-Personal Information does not personally identify you, we may collect, use and disclose Non-Personal Information for any purpose permitted by applicable law.  In some instances, we may combine Non-Personal Information with Personal Information, in which case the combined information will be treated by us as Personal Information.

Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Website, compiling reports on activity for its staff, and providing other services relating to web page activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.

In addition to using your Personal Information ourselves for the reasons stated above (and as otherwise mentioned in this Privacy Policy), we may disclose your Personal Information to other affiliates and entities in the following instances:

 

  • Service Providers

We may share your Personal Information with third-party service providers who may use your information to provide us with services including, but not limited to: website hosting, data analysis, infrastructure provision, information technology services, customer service, email or text message delivery services, payment processing, auditing, and anti-fraud monitoring. These service providers may have access to Personal Information that is necessary to perform their functions, but they are only permitted to do so in connection with performing services for us. They are not authorized by us to use your Personal Information for their own benefit.

 

  • Corporate Affiliates

We may share Personal Information with our corporate affiliates and subsidiaries, who process Personal Information on our behalf, including where necessary to provide a product or service that you have requested, or in other circumstances with your consent or as permitted or required by law or as otherwise permitted in this Privacy Policy.

 

  • Business and Advertising Partners

We may share your Personal Information with third parties who partner with us to promote products and services, provide marketing and advertisements, conduct data analytics, or use the data for other commercial purposes. We may not control how these third parties use and share your Personal Information once they receive it. You may need to contact such third parties directly for information about their privacy practices or to exercise any rights you may have (including if you would like to opt-out of marketing messages).

 

  • Legal Compliance and to Defend Our Rights

We may disclose Personal Information and other information as we believe necessary or appropriate: (a) under applicable law, including laws outside your country of residence; (b) to comply with legal process; (c) to respond to requests from public and government authorities including public and government authorities outside your country of residence; (d) to enforce our Terms and Conditions; (e) to protect our operations or those of any of our affiliates; (f) to protect our rights, privacy, safety or property, and/or that of our affiliates, you, or others; and (g) to allow us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain.

  • Non-Personal Information

We may share non-Personal Information with unaffiliated third parties, such as business and advertising partners, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, to improve and enhance your experience using the Website, and for our own market research activities. Because non-Personal Information does not personally identify you, we may collect, use and disclose non-Personal Information for any purpose permitted by applicable law. In some instances, we may combinenon-Personal Information with Personal Information. If we combine any non-Personal Information with Personal Information, the combined information will be treated by us as Personal Information.

LINKS TO OTHER SITES AND SOCIAL MEDIA SERVICES

 

We may create links to other websites that we think may be of interest to you, such as providers of various products and services. We may also provide links that allow you to send or forward a post from our Website through or to third-party social media sites, or other means of electronic communication, such as an email or text messaging service. We do not endorse any other websites, providers, or services by providing such links, and this Privacy Policy applies only to your use of our Website. We are not responsible for the privacy policies of any websites and services we link to on our Website, and you should read the privacy policies of each site you visit to determine what data that site may collect about you.

 

The Website may also integrate with social media services. We do not control such services and are not liable for the manner in which they operate. While we may provide you with the ability to use such services in connection with our Website, we are doing so merely as an accommodation and, like you, are relying upon those third-party services to operate properly and fairly.

 

You should be aware that any Personal Information which you voluntarily include and transmit online in a publicly accessible blog, forum, social network, or otherwise may be viewed and used by others. By using such features, you assume the risk that the Personal Information provided by you may be viewed and used by third parties.

 

INTEREST BASED ADVERTISING

 

  • Targeted Advertising / Behavioral Advertising

We may ourselves, or with third-party vendors, use your information to deliver targeted advertising to you when you visit our Website or other websites. Cookies, clickstream data, and other similar technologies described below may be used in this process. For example, if you are searching for information on a particular product, we or our vendor may cause an advertisement to appear on other websites you view with information on that product. This form of advertising, sometimes called “targeted advertising,” “behavioral advertising,” or “cross-context behavioral advertising,” enables us and our vendors to know about your interests in connection with the delivery of a specific ad. We believe that such advertising is helpful because it allows you to see advertisements that are relevant to your interests. 

 

If you would like to opt out of these interest-based advertisements, please follow the opt-out process described in the section titled Your Choices below.

 

  • Cross-Device Matching

We may use your information to help us, or our third-party vendors, determine if you have interacted with our Website across multiple devices and to match such devices. To accomplish this, we may rely on information (including demographic, geographic and interest-based data) from third parties such as data vendors, pursuant to their own privacy policies, or we may use information we collect in conjunction with such third-party data. Based on this data, we may then display targeted advertisements across devices that we believe are associated with each other, and may further provide services to our advertisers to better enable cross-device targeting and analysis. To opt-out of or restrict our use of certain cross-device data, please see the section titled Your Choices below.

 

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

 

Personal information is maintained on our servers or those of our vendors, and is accessible by authorized employees, independent contractors, representatives, and agents as necessary for the purposes described in this privacy policy. We use reasonable and appropriate physical, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to promote the security of our systems and protect the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of Personal Information. However, no method of safeguarding information is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee that our safeguards will be effective or sufficient. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us at mission@customerstatus.com.

 

DATA RETENTION

 

We will retain your Personal Information for as long as your inquiry is active or as needed to provide you with the Website, and for a reasonable time thereafter in accordance with our standard procedures or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Even if we delete some or all of your information, we may continue to retain and use anonymous or aggregate data, or any other data that constitutes Non-Personal Information. Please note that we will not be liable for disclosures of your data due to errors or unauthorized acts of third parties.

 

YOUR CHOICES

 

Consistent with applicable law, you may exercise the choices described in this section regarding your Personal Information and communications from us. You may also have certain additional rights available depending on laws in your state or country of residence, as described further below in the Privacy Policy, including in the U.S. State Privacy Rights section.

 

  • Opting Out of Messages or Services

We may send you marketing messages via email, SMS message, or telephone. If you receive a marketing message from us, you may unsubscribe from future messages in accordance with our standard unsubscribe process (such as by using the unsubscribe link included in an email), or by sending an unsubscribe request to us at mission@customerstatus.com. We will process your request within a reasonable time after receipt. Please note that if you opt out in this manner, certain aspects of our services may no longer be available to you. If you wish to unsubscribe from receiving text marketing messages and notifications, reply with STOP to any mobile message sent from us or use the unsubscribe link we provided you with in any of our messages.

 

  • Cookies and Tracking Technologies

If you would like to stop or restrict the placement of cookies or flush any cookies that may already be on your computer or device, please refer to and adjust your web browser preferences. Further information on cookies is available at www.allaboutcookies.org. By deleting our cookies or disabling future cookies, you may not be able to access certain areas or features of our Website or some of its functionality may be affected.

 

Note that cookie-based opt-outs must be performed on each device and browser that you wish to have opted out. For example, if you have opted out on your device browser, that opt-out will not be effective on your mobile device. Additionally, if you opt out on one of your devices, that opt out may not be effective on all of your devices. However, please be advised that cookie-based opt-outs are not effective on some mobile services.

 

Some browsers have a Do Not Track (“DNT”) feature that lets users signal to websites that they do not want to have their online activities tracked. Please note that we do not respond to or honor DNT signals or similar mechanisms transmitted by web browsers. However, if you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, or other states with similar laws, we treat certain opt-out preference signals (i.e. Global Privacy Controls) as a means of opting out of the sale or sharing of Personal Information, or of opting out of the processing of Personal Information for targeted advertising, as applicable. Please see the sections titled U.S. State Privacy Rights below for more information.

 

  • Interest-Based Advertising

You may opt out of receiving targeted ads from certain data and advertising partners that participate in certain industry self-regulatory programs. The DAA provides a website at www.aboutads.info/consumers with information about how to opt out of targeted advertising from some or all of the DAA’s participating companies. Additionally, the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) offers a website at http://optout.networkadvertising.org/ where you can opt out of interest-based advertising from some or all of the NAI’s members. Please note that by opting out, you will continue to see generic advertising that is not tailored to your specific interests and activities. In the event that we perform cross-device matching (as described above), once you have opted out on one device (“Opted-Out Device”), we will not use any new data from the Opted-Out Device to identify you on another device for interest-based advertising purposes, and we will not use data from another device for interest-based advertising purposes on the Opted-Out Device.

 

For targeted advertisements delivered through mobile apps, users may opt out of certain ads or reset advertising identifiers via their device settings. To learn how to limit ad tracking or to reset the advertising identifier on your iOS and Android device, visit the following links:

 

You can also install the DAA’s AppChoices app on your device to opt out of targeted advertising by certain providers, and to select system-level advertising preferences on your device (such as “Limit Ad Tracking” on Apple devices, or “Opt-out of Interest-based ads” on Android devices).

 

Finally, to learn more from the NAI about how to opt out of targeted advertising on mobile devices, you can also visit the following link: https://thenai.org/opt-out/mobile-opt-out/.

You can exercise this right by emailing us at mission@customerstatus.com with the subject line “Nevada Do Not Sell Request.”

 

CROSS-BORDER DATA TRANSFERS

 

If you submit Personal Information to us, that information may be processed in a jurisdiction where privacy laws may be less stringent than those in your country of residence. By submitting your Personal Information to us, you agree to the transfer, storage, and processing of such information in foreign jurisdictions including, but not limited to, the United States. Please note that Personal Information transferred to the United States is subject to access by law enforcement.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under State Privacy Laws, including but not limited to, by:

  • Denying you goods or services.
  • Charging you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Providing you a different level or quality of goods or services.
  • Suggesting that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

 

Exercising Your Rights

 

To exercise the rights described above, please contact us by using the following methods:

  • Calling us at 1-844-771-2608
  • Emailing us at mission@customerstatus.com
  • Visting the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” page

 

After submitting a request, we will take steps to verify your identity in order for us to properly respond and confirm that it is not a fraudulent request. In order to verify your identity, we may ask, at a minimum, that you provide your name, email address, phone number, address, and relationship to us, so that we can seek to match this information with the information existing in our systems. When providing us this information, you represent and affirm that all information provided is true and accurate. If we are unable to verify that the consumer submitting the request is the same individual about whom we have collected Personal Information, we may contact you for more information, or we may not be able to meet your request.

 

Only you, or an agent legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable request related to your Personal Information. If you are making a request as the authorized agent of a consumer of a Covered State, we will ask you also submit reliable proof that you have been authorized in writing by the consumer to act on such consumer’s behalf. If you are making a request as the parent or legal guardian of a known child regarding the processing of that child’s Personal Information, we may ask you to submit reliable proof of your identity.

 

 

Notice of Financial Incentive

 

We may offer you financial incentives, including discounts, coupons, gift cards, sweepstakes entries, or other rewards, for sharing Personal Information through programs that we may provide from time to time (collectively, our “Programs”). When we offer our Programs to you, we believe that the value of the different pricing or services you receive exceeds the cost of providing your Personal Information. Your participation in these Programs is completely optional and subject to the terms provided to you at the time you sign up.

 

You may withdraw from participation in a Program at any time by contacting us using the designated method set forth in the applicable Program rules. Visit the terms and conditions of each Program to view full details, including how to join. You may also withdraw from or opt out of our Programs at any time by contacting us at mission@customerstatus.com. 

 

Response Time; Your Right to Appeal

 

We will make every effort to respond to your request within 45 days from when you contacted us. If you have a complex request, State Privacy Laws allow us up to 90 days to respond. We will contact you within 45 days from when you contacted us to inform you of the need for additional time and the reason for such extension. We may charge you a reasonable fee to cover administrative costs if your requests are manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive.

 

If we decline to take action on a request that you have submitted, we will inform you of our reasons for doing so, and provide instructions for how to appeal the decision. You will have the right to appeal within a reasonable period of time after you have received our decision. Within 60 days (45 days for residents of Colorado) of our receipt of your appeal, we will inform you in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, including a written explanation of the reasons for the decisions. If we deny your appeal, we will provide you with a method for contacting your state attorney general’s office to submit a complaint.

 

California “Shine the Light”

 

In addition to the above rights, under California Civil Code Section 1798.83 (“Shine the Light”), California residents may have the right to request in writing from businesses with whom they have an established business relationship: (a) a list of the categories of Personal Information, as defined under Shine the Light, such as name, email address, and mailing address, and the type of services provided to the customer that a business has disclosed to third parties (including affiliates that are separate legal entities) during the immediately preceding calendar year for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes; and (b) the names and addresses of all such third parties. To request the above information, please contact us by email at mission@customerstatus.com. If you do not want your Personal Information shared with any third party who may use such information for direct marketing purposes, then you may opt out of such disclosures by sending an email to us at mission@customerstatus.com.
