1. Information We Collect

The information we collect depends upon how you interact with us through the Website. We offer some services and content that do not require you to register for an account or provide any personal information to us. For example, you can learn more about us, look up upcoming events and meetings, and read materials without providing personal information.

Information you give us. We do not collect any personally identifiable information about you unless you voluntarily submit such information to us. We collect personally identifiable information (“Personal Data”) about you that you provide to us while using our Services. Personal Data includes any and all information that can identify you as a specific individual, including, without limitation, your name, title, physical address, phone number, credit card number, e-mail address, linkedin profile, the pages you visit , and your log-in name, IP address, mobile carrier, or data services provider and any other information you provide to us.

When you create an account with us, we will also require you to create a password. You can help protect your personally identifiable information by using a combination of letters, numbers and characters in your password, changing your password often, using a secure web browser, and signing off our Website when you are finished with its use. We also encourage you to choose a password that is unique to our Website and not recycle your password for another site or company.

Emails. When you send emails, we retain emails in order to process your request, respond to your inquiry, and improve our services. If you report a problem with our Website, there may be additional details requested.

Google Analytics. We have implemented certain Google Analytics Advertising Features. Google Analytics helps us analyze a user’s behavior on our Website and what online channels they used to find the Website. We then can create audiences based on users’ behavior on the Website to send them relevant advertising. You may opt-out of these features using Google Analytics’ currently available opt-outs, available here.

Other Internet Technology. In addition to Google Analytics, we use other technology, such as software, pixel tags and web beacons, which are invisible graphics on a web page or email that are programmed to collect non-personally identifiable information about your use of the Website.

We do not currently permit third parties to direct ads to you on our sites and applications but third parties may do so on other sites to which we publish content. You may choose not to receive or control targeted advertising from many ad networks and partners, data exchanges, and marketing analytics and other digital advertising and marketing service providers by clicking here.

Social Media. We collect information from social media platforms and networks that you use in connection with our Website or mobile application, or that share or allow you to share information with us, such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram. For example, if you use functionalities, plugins, widgets, or tools from social media platforms or networks in connection with our Website or mobile application, we will collect the information that you share with us, or that those social media platforms or networks share with us. For more information about social media platform and network privacy practices, please review the privacy policies and settings of the social media platforms and networks that you use.

2. Protecting Your Personal Data

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure correct use of Personal Data, we will employ reasonable and current Internet security methods and technologies. To protect credit card transactions while in transit, Thuzio currently uses Secure Socket Layer technology to encrypt Personal Data and all processing is done through Stripe. No method of transmitting information over the Internet, or storing data electronically, is 100% secure, however, and Thuzio therefore cannot provide a guaranty of absolute security.

If you purchase certain services for others, we will collect the names of the others as provided by you. You are fully responsible for ensuring that you have the right to provide such information, and Thuzio will not be under any obligations to make any inquiries or otherwise take action to confirm your right to do so. By providing any Personal Data of another person/individual or company, you represent that you have all necessary authority and/or have obtained all necessary consents from such person to enable us to collect, use and disclose such Personal Data as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Certain Services: In order to provide you with certain services, we may share your Personal Data with our subsidiaries or third party partners.

The companies we employ to help us with these tasks have access to Personal Data to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.

5. Cookies (& Persistent Local Data)

To serve you faster and with better quality, we use “cookie” technology and also allow third parties to use cookies on our website Services. Cookies are small bits of code, usually stored on a user’s computer hard drive or device, which enable a website to “personalize” itself for each user by remembering information about the user’s visit to the web site.

No third-party has access to the information we collect through our cookies, but if you’d rather we didn’t use cookies when you visit us, your Internet browser contains instructions about how to remove persistent cookies.

Third party cookies and pixels: We use third-party partners to track your page visits and actions within the website in order to determine what site features and content is the most popular or most used. This data is used to deliver customized content and promotions to customers, to maintain the quality of the website and to provide general statistics regarding the use of the website.

In addition, we may share web site usage information about visitors to our website to companies for the purpose of market research analysis on our website and to deliver relevant ads tailored to you based on what parts of the website you have viewed. For these purposes, we and our third-party partners may place pixel tags (also called “clear gifs”) on some of the pages you visit on our website. We will use data that that is collected using these pixel tags to serve you relevant advertisements when you are visiting other sites on the Internet. These advertisements may be targeted to specific searches you conducted on the website during earlier browsing sessions.

If you would like more information about the information collection practices of third-party advertising companies and your choices about not having this information used by these companies or opt out of online preference marketing, visit Networkadvertising.org. Without cookies, however, you may not have access to certain features on our website, including certain personalized content.

You can also delete all cookies that are already on your computer’s hard drive by searching for files with “cookie” in it. This action could affect your subsequent visits to certain web sites, including our website, by requiring that, for example, you enter your login name when you return to that website.

• We make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information and the ability to correct the information if it is inaccurate or to delete it at your request (if it is not required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes).

Your information will remain subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy even if we undergo a business transition. However, we may transfer your information to a successor person or entity upon an acquisition or other corporate reorganization. You hereby consent to such transfers, and we may assign and transfer all of the rights, benefits, duties, and obligations of this Privacy Policy.
