Passively Collected Information.
When you interact with us through a Site, we receive and store certain
additional information. Such information, which is collected passively using
various technologies, cannot presently be used to specifically identify you.
Examples include IP addresses, browser types, domain names, and other anonymous
statistical data involving your use of a Site and/or our services.
Cookies
and other tracking technologies
Technologies such as: cookies,
beacons, tags and scripts are used by us and our affiliates, marketing and
advertising partners, and service providers. These technologies are used in
analyzing trends, administering the Sites, services and products, tracking
users' movements around the Sites and to gather demographic information about
our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these
technologies by these companies on an individual as well as aggregated basis.
We use cookies to remember users'
settings, market products and services to users, and for authentication
purposes. Users can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level.
If you reject cookies, you may still use our Sites, but your ability to use
some features or areas of our Sites may be limited.
Log Files. As is true of most
websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log
files. This information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser
type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system,
date/time stamp, and/or clickstream data. In some instances we may link this
automatically collected data to other information we collect about you. We do
this to optimize our marketing efforts as well as to improve the functionality,
stability, and availability of the services we offer.
LSOs (HTML 5). Third parties with
whom we partner to provide certain features on our Sites or to display
advertising based upon your web browsing activity use LSOs such as HTML 5.
Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5 LSOs.
Behavioral
Targeting / Re-Targeting. We partner with third parties to either display
advertising on our Sites or to manage our advertising on other websites. Our
third party partners may use technologies such as cookies to gather information
about your activities on the Sites in order to provide you advertising based
upon your browsing activities and interests.
What
we do with the information we collect
Use of PII. If you provide PII for a
certain reason, we will use the PII in connection with the reason for which it
was provided. For example, we will use the PII you input during the
registration process to administer your access to a Site. We may also use the
registration data that you provide to personalize your experience with us and
for verification purposes. We also use contact information from your
registration data to send you information about us and to keep you informed of
our other products and services that may be of interest to you. Your contact
information is also used to reach you, when necessary, regarding issues
concerning the use of the Sites and/or our service. We use PII collected through
the Sites to help us improve the Sites and our products and services, and to
better understand our users. We may use your PII to create aggregate data.
Aggregate data is data that describes the demographics, usage or other
characteristics of a Site's users as a group without disclosing PII. We reserve
the right to transfer and/or sell aggregate or group data about a Site's users
for lawful purposes. We may also create internal reports on aggregated user
demographics and traffic patterns and share these reports with our advertisers
and partners. This information allows our third-party advertisers and partners
to deliver, and our users to receive, more relevant advertisements. We use your
IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer the
Sites. Your IP address is also used to gather broad and specific demographic
information as well as for validation purposes.
Use of Information that is NOT PII.
We may pool information that is not PII with other information in order to
track, for example, the total number of visitors to a Site, the number of
visitors to each page of a Site, and the domain names of our users' Internet
service providers. No PII is available or used in this process.
EU Residents - International
Transfers of PII. The PII that we collect from you may be transferred to, and
stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area ("EEA").
It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or
for one of our suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the
fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the
provision of support services. By submitting your PII, you agree to this
transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to
ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy
policy.
US Residents - Amended Telemarketing
Sales Rule. For U.S. residents, with your consent, by submitting your e-mail
address via a Site and/or obtaining services from us, you agree to receive
e-mail marketing from us and our third-party advertisers. In addition, you
agree that such act constitutes a purchase, an inquiry and/or an application
for purposes of the Amended Telemarketing Sales Rule, 16 CFR 310 et seq. (the
"ATSR"). Notwithstanding that your telephone number may be listed on
the Federal Trade Commission's Do-Not-Call List, we retain the right to contact
you via telemarketing in accordance with the ATSR. Moreover, by registering
with, or requesting information from, a third-party advertiser at or through a
Site, such action shall constitute a purchase, an inquiry and/or an application
with the respective third-party advertiser for purposes of the ATSR and you may
be contacted via e-mail, direct mail and/or telemarketing by such third-party
advertiser in accordance with the ATSR.
With
whom we share the information we collect
We will share your PII with third
parties only in the ways that are described in this privacy policy. We do not
sell your PII to third parties.
Service Providers. We, like many
businesses, sometimes hire other companies ("Service Providers") to
perform certain business-related functions. Examples include mailing
information, maintaining databases, and hosting services. When we employ a
Service Provider to perform a function of this nature, we provide it with the
information that it needs to perform its specific function, which may include
PII and other information that you provide to us via a Site. These companies
are authorized to use your PII only as necessary to provide these services to
us. All information that we provide to a Service Provider, as well as
information that you share directly with a Service Provider, will be governed
by such Service Provider's privacy policies. When you call a Service Provider
using a phone number available via a Site, we, or our third party service
providers, may record these phone calls and share such recordings with the
applicable Service Provider. The recordings shall be maintained by the Service
Providers in accordance with their privacy policies.
Legal Requirements. We may disclose
PII if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is
necessary to (a) comply with a subpoena or similar legal obligation, (b)
protect and defend our rights or property, (c) act in urgent circumstances to
protect the personal safety of users of any Site or the public, (d) protect
against legal liability, or (e) or as otherwise required or permitted by law.
Business Transfers. As we develop
our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a
corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event, PII may
be part of the transferred assets. You will be notified via e-mail and/or a
prominent notice on our Sites of any change in ownership or uses of your PII,
as well as any choices you may have regarding your PII.
Frames. Some of our pages utilize
framing techniques to serve content to from our partners while preserving the
look and feel of our Sites. Please be aware that you are providing your PII to
these third parties and not to www.Search-AMP.com
or www.RostinVentures.com .
Our
opt-out policy
To stop receiving newsletters or
marketing communications from us or to opt out of having your PII shared with
third parties, please send an e-mail with your Login Name and e-mail address to
marketing@rostinventures.com
Service Related Announcements. We
will also send you service related e-mail announcements on rare occasions when
it is necessary to do so. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended
for maintenance, we might send you an e-mail. You do not have an option to opt
out of these e-mails, which are not promotional in nature. If you no longer
wish to receive these e-mails, please send an e-mail with your Login Name and
e-mail address to marketing@rostinventures.com
Our
policy on correcting and updating PII and deactivating your account
You may access, correct, update or
delete your PII, or deactivate your account, by e-mailing our Customer Support
at marketing@rostinventures.com We will respond to your request to access your
PII within 30 days. We may need to verify your identity before granting access
to PII in our custody or control.
Data Retention. We will retain
personal data for as long as needed in order to provide our services and as
required by law or to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and
enforce our agreements.
Miscellaneous
Other Websites. The Sites may contain
links to third-party owned and/or operated websites. We are not responsible for
the privacy practices or the content of such websites. We suggest that you
contact these third parties directly for information regarding their privacy,
security and data collection and distribution policies prior to providing them
with any information.
Blogs and Public Features of the
Sites. Some of our Sites offer publicly accessible blogs or community forums.
You should be aware that any PII you submit there can be read and collected by
other users of these forums and could be used to send you unsolicited messages
and for other purposes. Our blog is managed by a third party application that
may require you to register to post a comment. We do not have access or control
of the information posted to the blog. NONE OF THE INFORMATION THAT YOU PROVIDE
USING THESE FEATURES IS PROTECTED BY THIS PRIVACY POLICY. WE ARE NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PII YOU CHOOSE TO SUBMIT IN THESE FORUMS OR THE USE THEREOF
BY ANY THIRD PARTY. You will need to contact or log into the third party
application if you want the PII that was posted to the comments section
removed. To learn how the third party application uses your information, please
review their privacy policy.
Testimonials. We may post customer
testimonials on the Sites which may contain PII such as the customer's name. We
obtain the customer's consent to post his/her PII along with the testimonial,
prior to posting the testimonial. If you want to remove your PII that is being
displayed on a Site under public pages, please send your request to marketing@rostinventures.com
Social Media Widgets. Our Sites may
include social media features, such as the Facebook Like button and widgets
such as the share this button or interactive mini-programs that run on our
Sites. These features may collect your IP address, which pages you are visiting
on our Sites, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly.
Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted
directly on our Sites. Your interactions with these features are governed by
the privacy policy of the company providing them.
Single Sign-On. You can apply for an
open position listed on our Careers page using sign-in services such as
LinkedIn. This service will authenticate your identity and provide you the
option to share certain PII with us such as your name and e-mail address to
pre-populate our sign up form. Services like LinkedIn give you the option to
post information about your activities on the Sites to your profile page to
share with others within your network.
Security. We take commercially
reasonable steps to protect PII from loss, misuse, unauthorized access,
disclosure, alteration and destruction. However, no Internet or e-mail
transmission is ever fully secure or error free. In particular, e-mail sent to
or from a Site may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in
deciding what information you send to us via e-mail. Please keep this in mind
when disclosing any PII to us or to any other party via the Internet. The
security of your PII is important to us. When you enter sensitive information
(such as a credit card number) on our order forms or login credentials (such as
username and password) on our platform login, we encrypt the transmission of
that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). Your PII will be
stored in the United States and will be subject to laws applicable in that
country. If you have any questions about security on our Site, you can contact
us at marketing@rostinventures.com
Minors. Visitors under 18 years of
age are not permitted to use and/or submit their PII at any Site. We do not
knowingly solicit or collect information from visitors under 18 years of age.
We encourage parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and
to participate and monitor the interactive activities of their children.
