Information Obtained Automatically From Your Online Activity

When you access or use the Platform, we use browser cookies, pixels, web beacons, and similar technologies (collectively, “Tracking Technologies”) to automatically collect or receive certain standard technical information and other data. This other data may include: traffic data; usage data (including but not limited to, profiles viewed, matches made, features used, frequency and duration of the Platform usage, and interactions with content on the Platform); location data; logs and other communications data sent to us by your computer, mobile device, tablet, or any other device over time on our Platform; and your online activity across third party websites, apps, and devices. We may also evaluate your computer, mobile phone, or other access device to identify any malicious software or activity that may affect the availability of our Platform. The data we or third parties collect automatically may include personal information and/or statistical data that may not identify you personally; however, we or third parties may maintain, combine, or associate it with personal information collected in other ways or received from third parties. The Tracking Technologies used on the Platform include the following, among others:

We may collect information using “cookie” and other similar technologies. Cookies are small packets of data that a website stores on your computer’s or mobile device’s hard drive (or other storage medium) so that your computer will “remember” information about your use. We may use both first and third party session cookies and persistent cookies. Below is a general primer on session and persistent cookies; information collected by cookies depends on its particular purpose. For more information, please see the information regarding analytics providers discussed further below.

Session Cookies: We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our Platform. A session ID cookie expires when you close the Platform.

Persistent Cookies: A persistent cookie remains on your device for an extended period of time or until you delete them. Persistent cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our visitors to personalize the experience on our Platform. Persistent cookies can also be used to store your passwords so that you don’t have to enter it more than once.

If you do not want us to place a cookie on your device, you may be able to turn that feature off on your device. Please consult your browser’s documentation for information on how to do this and how to delete persistent cookies. However, if you decide not to accept cookies from us, certain aspects of the Platform may not function properly or as intended.

Web Beacons

Certain sections of our Platform and our emails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit Saltbox, for example, to count users who have visited particular webpages or opened an email and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of a certain section and verifying system and server integrity).

This aggregate information does not identify you personally. We may share this aggregate data with our affiliates, agents, and business partners. We may also disclose aggregated user statistics to describe the Platform to current and prospective business partners and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.

Transfer to Third Parties

Like many businesses, we hire other companies to perform certain business-related services. We disclose personal information to certain types of third-party companies but only to the extent needed to enable them to provide such services. The types of companies that may receive personal information are third-party service providers such as pick up services and delivery services, hosting services, technical assistance, database management/back-up services, usage analytics, email marketing platforms, customer service, collaboration services, authentication services, and authorization services.

To provide our Platform and administer promotional programs, we may share your personal information with our third-party promotional and marketing partners, including, without limitation, businesses participating in our various programs.

We may also disclose personal information to our parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, joint ventures, or other companies under common control to support the marketing and sale of our products and services.

Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, dissolution, reorganization or similar corporate event, or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, we expect that the information that we have collected, including personal information, would be transferred to the surviving entity in a merger or the acquiring entity. All such transfers shall be subject to our commitments with respect to the privacy and confidentiality of such personal information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. This policy shall be binding upon Saltbox and its legal successors in interest.

Legal Requirements and Enforcement of Our Policies

To the extent permitted by law, we may also disclose your personal information: (i) when required by law, court order, or other government or law enforcement authority or regulatory agency; or (ii) whenever we believe that disclosing such information is necessary or advisable, for example, to protect the rights, property, or safety of Saltbox or others. We may disclose your information to enforce our rights arising from any contracts entered into between you and us, including our Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy.

Otherwise With your Consent

We may also disclose your personal information to fulfill any purpose for which you provide it or for any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information.

Please allow us a reasonable time to process your request.

HOW TO UPDATE YOUR INFORMATION

If the personal information we have for you changes, you may correct, update, or delete it by contacting us as set forth in this Privacy Policy. You may correct, update, or delete some of your personal information directly in your account on the Platform. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to process all such requests in a timely manner. You should be aware, however, that it is not always possible to completely remove or modify information in our databases. Additionally, we will retain and use your information (or copies thereof) as necessary to comply with our legal and/or regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

Saltbox takes very seriously the security and privacy of the personal information that it collects pursuant to this Privacy Policy. Accordingly, we implement reasonable security measures designed to protect your personal information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in processing and the nature of such data, and to comply with applicable laws and regulations. Please understand, however, that no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our Platform or databases or the databases of the third parties with which we may share your information (as permitted herein), nor can we guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the Internet. In particular, e-mail sent to us may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail.

CHILDREN

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 through the Platform. If you are under 13, please do not give us any personal information. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children to never provide personal information without their permission. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us at parsel@saltbox.com, and we will endeavor to delete that information from our databases.

RETENTION

We will retain your information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

We will also retain usage data for internal analysis purposes. Usage data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our Platform, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL NON-US RESIDENTS

The Platform and the related servers are operated in the United States. If you are located outside of the United States, please be aware that any information you provide to us maybe transferred to, processed, maintained, and used on computers, servers, and systems located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and choose to use the Platform, you do so at your own risk.

CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
