Innovation Interactive LLC("II") values its users and their concerns about privacy. II engages in consistent information practices and uses reasonable commercial efforts to clearly disclose those practices. This Privacy Policy is a part of that effort. The instances in which II collects, stores and uses information it obtains through your use of its paid listings services (collectively, "Services") are specifically set forth in this Privacy Policy. Other services offered by Innovation Interactive and its other subsidiaries are governed by other privacy policies. This Privacy Policy may be part of the terms and conditions or End User License Agreement ("EULA") to which you agreed.
What does this Privacy Policy cover?
This Privacy Policy applies to the collection, use, storage and disclosure of information by II through your use of the Services. If there are any exceptions, we will clearly disclose them prior to collecting any information, and will give you an opportunity to choose not to participate or provide the information. By using the Services, you consent to the collection and use of your information as we outline in this Privacy Policy. II may decide to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post any changes here so that you are always informed of the information we collect, how we use it, and the circumstances under which we disclose it. Please be aware that the Services may provide links to Web sites operated by third parties, and also provide search results and similar services to third parties for display on their own Web sites or applications.
II is not responsible for the information collection or privacy practices or the content of third party Web sites or applications (collectively, "Affiliate Programs") and the third party search engines to which your information is submitted. Also, please be aware that ads displayed through the use of the Services are provided by third parties, which may collect cookies as part of the process of serving those ads. These cookies are typically used for the purpose of tracking performance of the ads. II does not determine which information those third parties will collect. Please see the paragraph below regarding Third Party Ads.
Third Party Ads.
We may use other third-party advertising companies to provide ads when you visit or use our Web sites. These companies may use information (not personally identifying) about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements on this site and other sites about goods and services that may be of interest to you.
What information does II collect and what ways does II share this information with third parties?
II may collect any or all of the following types of information: (a) traffic or clickstream data, (b) cookies, (c) Internet Protocol ("IP") addresses, or (d) contact information and other personally identifying information. Paid Listing's collection and use of each type of data is described below, as well as the ways (if any) in which the data may be shared with third parties.
(a) Traffic or Clickstream Data. Data about traffic and usage, including keywords, search results, bids, time of search, time of click, browser type and default language setting, is not personally identifying or identifiable, and is not supplemented or combined with personally identifying or identifiable information. II may share information it collects with certain selected third parties, but only in anonymous form. II collects some information regarding use of the Services by observing browser functions and the files (pages) users access. For example, II's servers collect information about the site from which you entered to enable II to calculate and pay its Affiliates, information about the most frequently searched terms to help provide the most relevant search results, information about usage to check for fraudulent behavior or other abnormalities and to ensure that our Services are technically superior. In addition to the foregoing applications, II uses the information (in aggregate form) to better design and market the Services.
(b) Cookies. Like many companies, II collects information about online behavior using cookies. These cookies contain identification information that enables us to offer you the most relevant advertisements and other content. Cookies let us know about repeat visitors and if we are delivering quality products and services. II may also use cookies to identify which sites our repeat visitors are coming from, so that we can place more of our online advertising on these sites, and can, where necessary, pay our affiliates and other business partners. To II, using information within cookies is an anonymous way to survey how we are doing and to look for ways to improve the value of the Services to you. You may set your browser software to reject cookies, but you may not be able to use all of the features of the Services. II may share information about usage of the Services with third parties, but only in aggregated, anonymous form, including to report the results of advertising campaigns to advertisers. Reporting and analyzing the performance of offers and advertisements improves our ability to serve the right offer at the right time, increasing the value to you. In the course of serving advertisements to this site, our third-party advertiser may place or recognize a unique "cookie" on your browser.
(c) IP Addresses. An Internet Protocol ("IP") address is a set of numbers that is automatically assigned to your computer each time you connect to the Internet. When you use your web browser to request a web page from another computer on the Internet, your web browser automatically gives that computer your IP address so that the data you request can be sent to your computer. Through your IP address, II may track your Internet usage, including identifying Affiliates and geographic location, which may be disclosed to advertisers, search engines and other partners. II may strip a portion of numbers from your IP address and provide such information to our third-party advertising companies. This information collected by II though your IP address is not personally identifiable.
(d) Contact Information or Personally Identifying Information. II may obtain access to your name, e-mail address, physical address, telephone number, fax number, credit card number and other contact or personally identifiable information when you: (1) become an advertiser with II; (2) provide comments, submit a problem, or request information from II; or (3) elect to enroll in one of our Affiliate Programs.
When you become an advertiser or Affiliate with II, your contact information is used for billing, marketing and customer care purposes, as well as for the purpose of approving and enabling your participation in the Services. Contact information specifically provided in connection with problems, comments or requests is used only to respond to those problems, comments or requests. This contact information is only provided to a third party if necessary to respond to the comment, problem or request. When you elect to use our search engine marketing services, your keywords and other search engine placement criteria are provided to the search engines. Finally, from time to time, but only with your permission, II may provide certain of its users' registration information to selected third parties who wish to participate in special promotions offered in conjunction with II. Users may opt-out of receiving such communications at any time by contacting II. II disclaims all responsibility and will not be liable to you, however, for any disclosure of your personally identifiable information by any such third party.
When you elect to participate in one of our Affiliate Programs, II may collect your name, email address, physical address, phone number, fax number, web site addresses, password, Social Security number and tax ID number and other personally identifiable information. II may disclose this information to third parties under the following circumstances: (i) to agents of II or its Affiliates; and (ii) where it is necessary to conduct business, including making payments to an Affiliate, and invoicing for an advertising campaign.
II may also disclose the information it collects in aggregated and non-personally identifiable form to promote and market the Services.
II employs other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf, such as hosting and other technical services. To perform those functions, it may be necessary for these parties to obtain access to II's servers that may contain personally identifying information. These parties are bound by appropriate confidentiality and security measures. II may also disclose personally identifiable information to its independent auditors, consultants and attorneys, all of whom are obliged to keep such information confidential.
II may also disclose the information it collects if required by law or to comply with a government agency request. In addition, as companies grow and change, we may buy and sell companies, subsidiaries and assets. In such transactions, customer information is generally one of the transferred business assets. In the event that II, or any of its components, is acquired, you information may be one of the transferred assets.
Is data stored by II secure?
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, II has put in place physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information it collects online. However, data security is a constantly evolving art and science. You should consider any communication that you transmit to II (such as data, questions or answers, comments, or suggestions) as non-confidential, and agree that II will not be liable or responsible if information that belongs to you is intercepted and used by an unintended recipient.
Does II collect personally identifying information from or about children?
II uses reasonable efforts not to collect, use or disclose individually identifiable information from children under the age of 13. The Services are not targeted at children.
