Privacy Policy
This privacy policy describes how we handle your personal information for the services available at www.banazzle.com (the "Site"). By accepting the Privacy Policy and the Banazzle Discount Card Terms of Use Agreement, you expressly consent to our collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.
Collection of Information
You can browse the Site without disclosing who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. Once you give us your personal information, you are not anonymous to us and additional features will be available. If you provide us with personal information, you consent to the transfer and storage of that information to our servers located in the United States.
We may collect and store the following personal information:
- email address;
- physical contact information, (address and phone numbers);
- financial information (credit card, bank account, and social security numbers);
- supplier feedback, correspondence through the Site, and correspondence sent to us;
- computer sign-on data, statistics on page views, traffic to and from the Site, and ad data;
- other information, including IP address and standard web log information, and
- supplemental information from third parties (including marketing data and purchase information from our suppliers).
Usage of Your Information
We don't sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent.
Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. You agree that we may use your personal information to:
- provide the services and customer support you request;
- collect dues;
- troubleshoot problems;
- prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities;
- enforce our Terms of Use Agreement;
- customize, measure, and improve our services and the Site's content and layout;
- inform you about special discounts on products and services Banazzle has secured for our members and other targeted marketing for the benefit of the members, and
- compare information for accuracy and verify it with third parties.
Our Disclosure of Your Information
We may disclose personal information to respond to legal requirements, enforce our policies, or protect anyone's rights, property, or safety. We may also share your personal information with:
- service providers under contract who help with our business operations (such as fraud investigations, bill collection, affiliate and rewards programs and credit card verifications);
- other third parties to whom you explicitly ask us to send your information (or about whom you are otherwise explicitly notified and consent to when using a specific service);
- law enforcement or other governmental officials, in response to a verified request relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity, (In such events we will disclose name, city, state, telephone number, email address, User ID history, and fraud complaints) and
- other business entities, should we plan to merge with, or be acquired by that business entity. (Should such a combination occur, we will require that the new combined entity follow this privacy policy with respect to your personal information. If your personal information will be used contrary to this policy, you will receive prior notice.)
Without limiting the above, in an effort to respect your privacy, we will not otherwise disclose your personal information to law enforcement, other government officials, or other third parties without a subpoena, court order or substantially similar legal procedure, except when we believe in good faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss or to report suspected illegal activity.
Cookies
We use "cookies" (small files placed on your hard drive) on certain pages of the Site to help analyze our web page flow, customize our services, measure promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and safety.
A few important things you should know about cookies are that:
- We offer certain features that are only available through the use of cookies.
- We use cookies to help identify you and maintain your logged-in status.
- You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although doing so may interfere with your use of the Site.
Banazzle Account Protection
Your password is key to your account usage. Use unique numbers, letters, and special characters and do not disclose your Banazzle password to anyone. If you do share your password or your personal information with others, you are responsible. If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personal information. Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately change your password.
Accessing, Reviewing and Changing Your Personal Information
You can see, review and change your personal information by logging into the Site. You must promptly update your personal information if it changes or is inaccurate to ensure the best possible service.
Security
Your information is stored on our servers located in the United States. We treat data as an asset that must be protected and use lots of tools (encryption, passwords, physical security, etc.) to protect your personal information against unauthorized access and disclosure. However, as you probably know, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Therefore, although we work very hard to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private.
General
We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the amended terms on the Site. All amended terms automatically take effect 30 days after they are initially posted on the Site.
