Privacy Policy - Price Adjust

PRICEADJUST RESPECTS YOUR PRIVACY

This Privacy Notice describes how PriceAdjust.ca (“PriceAdjust,” “We,” “Us” or “Our”) collects, shares, and uses information about you (“You”). It applies to Your use of any online service location (e.g., website) that posts a link to this Privacy Notice and all features, content, and other services that We own, control, and make available through such service location (collectively, the “Service”). It does not apply to our data collection activities offline or outside of our Service (unless otherwise stated below or at the time of collection).

By using the Service, You agree to Our Terms and Conditions and consent to Our collection, use and disclosure practices, and other activities as described in this Privacy Notice.

Information Collection

1.1 Information You Provide to Us

We collect information You provide directly to Us via the Service. For example, We collect information when You register for the Service, use the Service, connect Your email accounts to the Service, take action regarding claims, subscribe to Our emails, mobile messages, or social media notifications, participate in a sweepstakes, contest, promotion, survey, or poll (each, a “Promotion”), communicate with Us via third party social media sites, contact customer support, apply for a job or otherwise communicate with Us through the Service.

The information We collect may include Personal Information. “Personal Information” is information that can be used to identify You (whether alone or in combination), such as Your first and last name, email address, postal code, billing address, shipping address, and phone number.

Personal Information once “de-identified” will not be subject to this Privacy Policy and we and our Service Providers (defined below) may treat it as non-Personal Information and use it without obligation to you except as prohibited by applicable law.

1.2 Information We Automatically Collect

We and Our service providers automatically collect certain information about You when You access or use Our Service or when We collect and monitor purchase receipts on your behalf (“Usage Information”). Usage Information may include Your IP address, device identifier, Ad ID, browser type; operating system characteristics, data regarding network connected hardware (e.g., computer or mobile device), Emails from your registered account, and information about Your use of Our Service, such as the time and duration of Your visit and how You arrived at Our Service. Except to the extent required by applicable law, PriceAdjust does not consider Usage Information to be Personal Information. However, Usage Information may be combined with Your Personal Information. To the extent that We combine Usage Information with Your Personal Information, We will treat the combined information as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy.

The methods that We and Our service providers may use to automatically collect such information include:

Log Information: We collect information about Your use of Our Service, such as IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamps, and related data, and store it in log files.

Information Collected by Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies: We may use cookies, web beacons (also known as “tracking pixels”), embedded scripts, in-app tracking methods, and other tracking technologies now and hereafter developed (“Tracking Technologies”) to collect information about interactions with Our Service or emails, including information about Your browsing and purchasing behavior.

Cookies:  A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s device. We use both session ID cookies and tracking cookies. Session cookies make it easier for You to navigate Our Service and expire when You close Your browser. Tracking cookies help Us understand how You use the Service, and enhance Your user experience. Cookies remain on Your hard drive for an extended period of time. If You use Your browser’s method of blocking or removing cookies, some features and functionalities of Our Service may not work.

Web Beacons: Web beacons are small graphic images, also known as “Internet tags” or “clear gifs” embedded in web pages and email messages. Web beacons may be used to count the number of visitors to Our Service, to monitor how users navigate the Service, and to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed.

Embedded Scripts: An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about Your interactions with the Service. It is temporarily downloaded onto Your device from Our web server or a third party with whom We work, is active only while You are connected to the Service, and is deleted or deactivated thereafter.

Email Scanner: an automatic email fetcher that scans your emails to identify purchase receipts for the purpose of monitoring your purchases for price adjustment opportunities. PriceAdjust identifies purchase receipts on a best effort basis but may also identify and read emails that are not purchase receipts if they contain similar characteristics to purchase receipts, such as merchant names and amounts.

We are giving you notice of the Tracking Technologies and your choices regarding them explained in Sections 6 and 7, so that Your consent to encountering them is meaningfully informed.

These Service Providers are prohibited from using Your Personal Information for any purpose other than to provide this assistance

We may also share information about You with Our Service Providers as follows:

To cooperate with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We will disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process, to protect our property and rights or the property and rights of a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we consider to be illegal or unethical.

If We believe Your actions are inconsistent with Our user agreements or policies, or to protect the rights, property, life, health, security and safety of Us or any third party

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, We may also use IP addresses, mobile device identifiers or any other information We collect to identify users, and may do so in cooperation with copyright owners, Internet service providers, wireless service providers or law enforcement agencies in Our discretion. Such disclosures may be carried out without notice to You

In connection with, or during negotiations of, any proposed or actual merger, purchase, sale (including a liquidation, realization, foreclosure or repossession), lease, amalgamation or any other type of acquisition of all or any portion of PriceAdjust assets, financing, disposal, conveyance or transfer of all or a portion of Our business to another company, or in the event of our bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

With Your consent or at Your direction

Without limiting the foregoing, in Our sole discretion, We may share aggregated information which does not identify You or de-identified information about You with third parties or affiliates for any purpose.

4. Contests/Surveys

From time-to-time, we may provide you with the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys. If you choose to participate, we may request certain Personal Information from you. Participation in these contests or surveys is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose the requested information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and address), and demographic information (such as postal code, zip code or age). We use this information to administer the contest, notify contest winners and award prizes and to monitor site traffic. Individual contests and surveys may be subject to rules and eligibility requirements for participation. However, in no case will any purchase be required to participate in one of our contests.

5. Third Party Services and Social Features

The Service contains hyperlinks to websites, locations, platforms, or services operated by third parties (“Third Party Services”). These Third Party Services may use their own cookies, web beacons, and other Tracking Technologies to independently collect information about You and may solicit Personal Information from You.

Certain functionalities on the Service permit interactions that You initiate between the Service and certain Third Party Services, such as third party social networks (“Social Features”). Examples of Social Features include “liking” or “sharing” Our content and otherwise connecting Our Service to a Third Party Service. If You use Social Features, and potentially other Third Party Services, information You post or provide access to may be publicly displayed on Our Service or by the Third Party Services that You use. Similarly, if You post information on a Third Party Service that references Our Service (e.g., by using a hashtag associated with PriceAdjust in a tweet or status update), Your post may be used on or in connection with Our Service. Also, both PriceAdjust and the third party may have access to certain information about You and Your use of Our Service and the Third Party Service. To the extent We combine information from Third Party Services with Personal Information We collect directly from You on the Service, We will treat the combined information as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy.

The information collected and stored by the third parties remains subject to those third parties’ privacy practices, including whether the third parties continue to share information with Us, the types of information shared, and Your choices with regard to what is visible to others on Third Party Service. We are not responsible for and make no representations regarding the policies or business practices of any third parties or Third Party Services and encourage You to familiarize Yourself with and consult their privacy policies and terms of service.

6. Analytics Services, Advertising, and Online Tracking

We may engage and work with third parties to serve advertisements on Our behalf on the Service and/or on Third Party Services and to provide analytics services about the use of Our Service and the performance of our ads and content on Third Party Services. In addition, We may participate in online advertising networks and exchanges that display relevant advertisements to Our Service visitors, on our Service and on Third Party Services, based on their interests as reflected in their use of the Service and certain Third Party Services.

These entities may use cookies and other Tracking Technologies to automatically collect information about You and Your Activities, such as registering a unique identifier for Your device and tying that to Your online activities on and off of Our Service. We may use this information to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, deliver advertising and content targeted to Your interests on the Service and Third Party Services, and better understand Your online activity.

Some information about Your use of the Service and certain Third Party Services may be collected across time and services and used by Us and third parties for purposes such as to associate different devices You use, and deliver relevant and targeted ads (“Interest-based ads”) and/or other content to You on the Service and certain Third Party Services. In addition, We may serve ads on Third Party Services that are targeted to reach people on those services that are also identified on one or more of our databases. You may have certain choices regarding these activities as explained in the next section.

Your browser settings may allow You to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services You visit. Note there is no consensus among industry participants as to what site and app operators should do with regard to these signals. Accordingly, We currently do not monitor or take action with respect to “Do Not Track” signals or other mechanisms. For more information on “Do Not Track,” visit www.allaboutdnt.com.

7. Your Choices

7.1 Terminate your PriceAdjust Account

You may terminate your PriceAdjust account by disabling PriceAdjust to access your email through your Email Service Provider account settings or by contacting Us support@priceadjust.ca. However, deactivation of your account does not mean your Personal Information has been deleted from our database entirely. We will retain and use your Personal Information as necessary to comply with our obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements for a certain period of time and as required by applicable law. We may also indefinitely retain information that has been de-identified. Please note that it is not always possible to completely remove or delete all of Your information from Our databases and that residual data may remain on backup media or for other reasons.

7.2. Tracking Technologies Generally

Regular cookies may generally be disabled or removed by tools available as part of most commercial browsers, and in some instances blocked in the future by selecting certain settings. Browsers offer different functionalities and options so You may need to set them separately. Please be aware that if You disable or remove these technologies some parts of the Service may not work and that when You revisit the Service Your ability to limit browser-based Tracking Technologies is subject to Your browser settings and limitations. With respect to our mobile applications, You can stop all collection of information by uninstalling the app. Also, You may be able to exercise specific privacy choices by adjusting the permissions in Your mobile device.

7.3 Analytics, Advertising, and Online Tracking

Certain companies may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) AdChoices Program and may display an Advertising Option Icon for Interest-based Ads that links to an opt-out tool which allows You to exercise certain choices regarding targeting. You can learn more about the DAA AdChoices Program at http://www.youradchoices.com/ and its opt-out program for mobile apps at http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices. In addition, certain advertising networks and exchanges may participate in the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). NAI has developed a tool that allows consumers to opt-out of certain Interest-based Ads delivered by NAI members’ ad networks. To learn more about opting out of such targeted advertising or to use the NAI tool, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Please be aware that such opt-outs do not affect non-targeted ads. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third-parties’ opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs.

7.4 Communications

You can opt-out of receiving certain promotional communications (emails, push notifications) from Us at any time by following the instructions as provided in emails to click on the unsubscribe link or by contacting Us support@priceadjust.ca. Please note that Your opt-out is limited to the email address used and will not affect subsequent subscriptions or non-promotional communications, such as such as administrative and service announcements.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to help protect information about You from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Nevertheless, transmission via the Internet is not completely secure and PriceAdjust cannot guarantee the security of Your information collected through Our Service.

9. Changes to this Privacy Notice

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Notice at any time. If We make changes, We will notify You by revising the date of this Privacy Notice, and in some cases, providing You with additional notice (such as adding a statement to the homepage of Our Service or sending You an email notification). Any changes will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Privacy Notice on the Service. Your use of the Service indicates Your consent to the Privacy Notice posted at the time of use.
