3. OUR DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Except as provided below, Opt-In Rewards will not sell, rent, trade or otherwise transfer any personal and/or traffic data or communications content outside of Opt-In Media and its controlled subsidiaries and affiliates without your explicit permission, unless it is obliged to do so under applicable laws or by order of the competent authorities. Please note that information that you voluntarily make public in your user profile, or which you disclose on forums, discussions boards or by posting comments will be publicly available and viewable by others.

Opt-In Rewards may disclose personal information to respond to legal requirements, exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims, to protect CyberCoupon's interests, fight against fraud, and to enforce our policies or to protect anyone's rights, property, or safety.

In order to provide you with Opt-In Rewards products you have requested, Opt-In Rewards may sometimes, if necessary, share your personal and traffic data with CyberCoupon's group companies, carriers, partner service providers and/or agents. For example, Wi-Fi access services providers, distributors of Opt-In Rewards software and/or Opt-In Rewards products, and/or the third-party banking organizations or other providers of payment, email delivery, analytical services, customer support, or hosting services. Opt-In Rewards will always require these third parties to take appropriate organizational and technical measures to protect your personal data and traffic data and to observe the relevant legislation.

Some Opt-In Rewards products may be (i) co-branded; (ii) made available via a partner company's website; and/or (iii) supported through a partner company. If you register for or use such products, you consent to both CyberCoupon's and the partner company's use of personal data collected in connection with the product and you understand that the partner company's use of your personal data may be subject to the partner company's privacy policy. Opt-In Rewards may offer its products in connection with other websites or services or may team with other online services to give you the combined results of both products/services or additional services and benefits. To determine whether you would benefit from the combined offer, if you have provided your consent, Opt-In Rewards may match your email address, and email addresses of your contacts against email addresses you have provided to the third-party website/service provider.

If you are a member of the Opt-In Rewards Manager, detailed information about the activity on your Opt-In Rewards account including traffic data and details of your purchases and downloads may be accessed by your Opt-In Rewards Manager Administrator if you have agreed to such access. You can withdraw your agreement at any time. If you provide personal data including your name and job title to be included in the Opt-In Rewards Manager directory, you acknowledge that such data may be viewed by other members of the Opt-In Rewards Manager.


Opt-In Rewards, Opt-In Rewards' local partner, or the operator or company facilitating your communication may provide personal data, communications content and/or traffic data to an appropriate judicial, law enforcement or government authority lawfully requesting such information. Opt-In Rewards will provide reasonable assistance and information to fulfill this request and you hereby consent to such disclosure.

Information that is collected by or sent to Opt-In Rewards and/or Opt-In Media may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Opt-In Media or its affiliates, subsidiaries, or service providers maintain facilities. In this regard, or for purposes of sharing or disclosing data in accordance with this article 4, Opt-In Rewards reserves the right to transfer information outside of your country. By using Opt-In Rewards software, Opt-In Media websites or Opt-In Rewards products you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.

As Opt-In Media continues to develop its business, Opt-In Media might sell or buy subsidiaries or business units. In any such transactions in which Opt-In Rewards or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, personal information of Opt-In Rewards users will generally be one of the transferred business assets. We reserve the right to include your personal information in any such transfer to a third party.

4. WHAT ARE COOKIES AND GIFS HOW DOES OPT-IN REWARDS USE THEM?

Key Points

By using CyberCoupon's websites and/or software you are giving your consent to the use of cookies. You can choose to reject cookies at any time, either by changing your browser settings (if your browser permits) or by ceasing to use CyberCoupon's websites and/or software or by using the applicable opt-out functions. You should be aware that certain features are only available through the use of cookies and if you choose not to accept cookies, such features may not be available to you.

4.1 What are Cookies and GIFs?

4.1.1. Cookies

Cookies are small files containing a string of characters (text) that are sent to your browser from a website's server. The cookie may contain a unique identifier but it does not contain personally identifiable information such as your name or email address. Opt-In Rewards may use cookies when you visit its websites, use Opt-In Rewards' software or visit other websites where Opt-In Rewards serves advertisements. The browser of the Opt-In Rewards software client or your Internet browser stores the cookie on your computer's hard drive and this may be accessed by the website during your next visit. Other websites may also send cookies to your browser but your browser will not allow those websites to see Opt-In Rewards' cookie data.

4.1.2. Gifs

Opt-In Rewards web pages and client interfaces may include clear gifs, also known as web-beacons and tracking pixels. Gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, which are used to count your visits to the page (but which do not retain any personally identifiable information). In addition, Opt-In Rewards uses clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened and acted upon. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

4.2 What type of Cookies does Opt-In Rewards use?

Opt-In Rewards uses session cookies, persistent cookies and local shared objects (flash cookies).

Session cookies are temporary cookies, or unique identifiers associated with your browser for the duration of your visit to CyberCoupon's websites or area of the Opt-In Rewards software client. Once you close your browser, the session cookie ID will disappear and information about your visit is not retained.

Persistent Cookies remain on your browser even after you close it and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the website.

Local Shared Objects or ‘Flash Cookies' are cookies written with Adobe flash technology. These cookies are saved on your computer in the same way as other cookies but they cannot be managed at browser level in the same way.

4.3 How Opt-In Rewards uses Cookies

Opt-In Rewards uses its own cookies for a variety of purposes, including to:

1. Recognize you when you sign in and understand how you arrived at our website, so we can make sure that we provide you with relevant customer content and information. For example:

         if you arrived at our website by clicking on a link to hear about US subscription packages, we can make sure you see content relevant to those offers;

         we can recognize your time zone so that your offers are accurately displayed;

         if your cookie was set a long time ago, we know you are not a new user and we will not show you content intended for new users, such as ‘how to use Opt-In Rewards' pages;

2. Remember your chosen preferences, such as:

         the language you choose to see our website in;

         the currency you wish to see our prices in;


3. Fight against fraud;

4. Inform Opt-In Rewards about the version of the Opt-In Rewards software client you are using so that we can provide you with new software updates and direct you to the relevant help sections;

5. Enable you to access your account and account services through the Opt-In Rewards Software client;

6. Provide internal and customer analytics and gain statistics and metrics about our websites, such as total number of visitors and page views;

7. Monitor the effectiveness and performance of our advertising and marketing campaigns and carry out research in order to help us to improve our products and websites;

8. Provide Opt-In Rewards ads most relevant to you when you visit other sites that display Opt-In Rewards ads.

4.4 Third Party Cookies

In addition to Opt-In Rewards' cookies, Opt-In Rewards' analytics, ad-serving and affiliate partners may set cookies and access cookies on your computer, when you are using the Opt-In Rewards software client or visiting an Opt-In Rewards website and may collect information about your online activities across websites or online services.

4.4.1 Analytics

Opt-In Rewards gathers anonymous statistical and analytical information about how users use Opt-In Rewards websites and software clients. Opt-In Rewards aggregates data on page views and clicks on our sites, the search engines and keywords used to find our sites, links accessed from our sites, error and crash information about our clients, and similar information. These analytics are not used to track your journey to other websites or to identify you.

4.4.2 Advertising

The advertisements of Opt-In Rewards and of third parties appearing in the Opt-In Rewards software, Opt-In Rewards products and on Opt-In Rewards third-party websites are delivered to you by Opt-In Media advertising or other carefully selected ad serving partners.

Opt-In Rewards may use non-personally identifiable information that you have provided in your Opt-In Rewards profile or otherwise provided to Opt-In Rewards, such as your age, gender, language and country of residence, as well as information about your relationship with and use of Opt-In Rewards' websites, software, and products, in order to provide advertisements likely to be of greater interest to you and to help us measure and improve the performance of our advertising campaigns. Opt-In Rewards and our Ad Serving Partners may use cookies and/or web-beacons (Gifs) to collect this information.

4.4.3. Affiliates

Opt-In Rewards' affiliate network program partner allows third parties to introduce people to Opt-In Rewards. Our affiliates may send cookies to your computer to allow them to receive information (a) when you click on a Opt-In Rewards related link on one of our affiliate partner sites, and/or (b) when you make a purchase on Opt-In Rewards' website, for the purpose of paying commission to the affiliate partner. If you re-visit Opt-In Rewards' site directly, our affiliate network program partner can recognize you and reward the third-party affiliate partner site that referred you to our site. These cookies are not within Opt-In Rewards' control.

 

4.4.4. Other Third-Party Content

Sometimes, Opt-In Rewards' websites may include widgets or embedded video content from third parties such as YouTube. When you view this content or use this widget, you may be accepting cookies from these websites. These cookies are not within our control and you should check with the relevant third-party site for more information.

4.5 Your Choices about Cookies

We don't recommend that you restrict or block cookies as this may impact on the functionality of our websites and products. However, if you choose to do so, please see the options available to you below. You can also find comprehensive information about cookies at www.aboutcookies.org

 

4.5.1 Browser Cookies

The Help option on the toolbar of most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, how to delete cookies or how to disable cookies altogether.

Opt-In Rewards software browser cookies can be disabled by: accessing the File menu from your Opt-In Rewards software client toolbar, choosing the Privacy option and un-checking the ‘Allow Opt-In Rewards Browser Cookies' box.

4.5.2 Local Shared Objects (Flash Cookies)

You can manage the usage of flash cookies via http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html

You may also manage flash cookies through your browser depending on how recent the version of Internet Explorer (or other browser) and media player you are using. Please also visit the Adobe website at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/526/52697ee8.html

 

4.5.3 Browser Controls for “Do Not Track” and Tracking Protection.

Some newer browsers have incorporated “Do Not Track” features. Most of these features, when turned on, send a signal or preference to the web sites you visit indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. Those sites (or the third-party content on those sites) may continue to engage in activities you might view as tracking even though you have expressed this preference, depending on the sites' privacy practices.  Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, Opt-In Rewards does not currently respond to the browser DNT signals on its own websites or online services, or on third-party websites or online services where Opt-In Rewards provides advertisements, content or is otherwise able to collect information.  We continue to work with the online industry to define a common understanding of how to treat DNT signals. In the meantime, users may continue to opt-out of targeted ads from Opt-In Rewards as set forth below.

Internet Explorer (versions 9 and up) have a feature called Tracking Protection that helps prevent the web sites you go to from automatically sending details about your visit to third-party content providers. When you add a Tracking Protection List, Internet Explorer will block third-party content, including cookies, from any site that is listed as a site to be blocked. For more information about Tracking Protection Lists and Do Not Track, please see the Internet Explorer Privacy Statement or Internet Explorer Help.

5. YOUR ADVERTISING CHOICES

5.1 Third-Party Advertisements

Opt-In Rewards websites and some Opt-In Rewards software clients enable third-party advertisements. In order to provide ads of greater interest to you, these ads may be targeted based on non-personally identifiable Opt-In Rewards profile information such as age, gender, country of residence, and language preference, as well as other information. 
Except for the modern Opt-In Rewards client running on Windows 8, you may opt-out of Opt-In Rewards targeted ads in any Opt-In Rewards software client that enables targeted ads by visiting the privacy menu in the Opt-In Rewards software client toolbar. If you opt-out, you will still receive advertisements based on your country of residence, language preference, and IP address location, but other targeting information will not be used.  In some instances, Opt-In Rewards Advertising may facilitate the placement of advertisements in Opt-In Rewards software client by other online advertising networks. In some cases, these third-parties may also place cookies on your computer and may collect information about your online activities across websites or online services. If you have opted-out of targeted ads in the Opt-In Rewards client as outlined above, Opt-In Rewards will not pass any profile information to such advertising providers with the ad request. However, because these third parties may place cookies on your computer that facilitate their own targeting, the Opt-In Rewards opt-out mechanism described above will not necessarily prevent ad targeting by these companies. These companies may offer you a way to opt-out of ad targeting based on their cookies.

6. YOUR USER PROFILE

Your user profile is the information provided by you at registration or later which is displayed in your Opt-In Rewards profile on the Opt-In Rewards dashboard. It may include your Opt-In Rewards username, full name, address, telephone and mobile numbers, gender, date of birth, country, language, and any other information that you decide to make available. You can access your profile in order to view, correct or complete information, remove non-mandatory information; and to see the privacy settings associated with your profile information.

 

7. LINKED WEBSITES AND THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS

Opt-In Rewards websites may contain links that will let you leave Opt-In Rewards' website and access another website. Linked websites are not under the control of Opt-In Rewards and these websites have different privacy policies. The Opt-In Rewards Privacy Policy applies solely to personal information that is acquired on the websites or through your use of the Opt-In Rewards software, Opt-In Rewards products and/or your relationship with Opt-In Rewards, so Opt-In Rewards urges you to be careful when you enter any personal information online. Opt-In Rewards accepts no responsibility or liability for these other websites.

If you use any extras, plug-ins or third-party applications together with the Opt-In Rewards software or use any third-party applications or products that incorporate or embed the Opt-In Rewards software (“Applications”), the provider of such Applications may obtain access to certain personal information about you. Opt-In Rewards does not and cannot control how the provider of Applications may use any personal information connected in connection with such Applications. Please ensure that you review any privacy policies or other terms applicable to the use of such Application before installation.

8. HOW DOES OPT-IN REWARDS PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Opt-In Rewards will take appropriate organizational and technical measures to protect the personal data and traffic data provided to it or collected by it with due observance of the applicable obligations and exceptions under the relevant legislation. Your personal and traffic data can only be accessed by authorized employees of Opt-In or its affiliates, subsidiaries or service providers who need to have access to this data in order to be able to fulfill their given duties.

9. PERSONAL DATA OF FRIENDS

You may be interested in inviting your friends to join Opt-In Rewards. In the event you wish to use Opt-In Rewards' referral service, you will be directed to a webpage and will have the possibility of adding one or more email addresses in an online form. The information entered in this form, will only be used for the purposes of automatically generating an email message to these potential Opt-In Rewards users. By entering your friend's email address, you are confirming that your friend has consented to the supply of their details. Opt-In Rewards may identify you as the person who has made the referral in the invitation sent to your friend and will include your name, email address and/or phone number in such invitation.

10. CONTACTING YOU

Opt-In Rewards may from time to time ask you to provide information on your experiences which will be used to measure and improve quality. You are at no time under any obligation to provide any of such data. Any and all information which is voluntarily submitted in feedback forms on the website or any survey that you take part in is used for the purposes of reviewing this feedback and improving the Opt-In Rewards software, and Opt-In Rewards and other Opt-In Media products and websites.

Opt-In Rewards may contact you to send you messages about faults and service issues. Further, Opt-In Rewards reserves the right to use email, the Opt-In Rewards software or SMS to notify you of any eventual claims related to your use of Opt-In Rewards software, the Opt-In Rewards websites and/or Opt-In Rewards products, including without limitation claims of violation of third party rights.

If you have registered for or use co-branded Opt-In Rewards products, the emails or SMS that you receive may be from our partner company, acting on CyberCoupon's behalf.

11. HOW CAN YOU ACCESS OR AMEND YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

You have the right to access and, where relevant, to amend your personal information. Some of your information may be viewed or edited online by signing into your Member or Merchant account. We will respond to requests to view, correct, complete or remove your personal information within a reasonable period of time and upon verification of your identity. Opt-In Rewards will use all reasonable endeavors to accommodate requests to delete personal information unless it is required to be retained by law or for lawful business purposes.

 

12. HOW LONG IS YOUR PERSONAL DATA KEPT BY OPT-IN REWARDS?

Opt-In Rewards will retain your information for as long as is necessary to: (1) fulfill any of the Purposes (as defined in article 2 of this Privacy Policy) or (2) comply with applicable legislation, regulatory requests and relevant orders from competent courts.

13. CHILDREN

Opt-In Rewards' websites and software clients are not intended for or designed to attract users under the age of 13. We encourage parents to be involved in the online activities of their children to ensure that no information is collected from a child without parental permission.

14. MOBILE NOTIFICATIONS

When you use Opt-In Rewards on your phone, Opt-In Rewards may use notification services available for that phone to let you know of relevant offers when you are not actively running or using the Opt-In Rewards application. These services may be provided by a third party.

Notification services may receive information about the caller, sender of the message and the content of the message as part of providing the service and may use the information in accordance with the terms and conditions and privacy policy for the service provider. Opt-In Rewards is not responsible for the data collected by third-party notification services.

If you do not want to use third party notification services to receive notification of incoming Opt-In Rewards messages, you can disable this in: Settings>Notifications>CyberCoupons.

15. CAN THIS PRIVACY POLICY BE MODIFIED?

Opt-In Rewards will occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our software and/or products and customer feedback. When we post changes to this Privacy Policy, we will update the "last revised" date at the bottom of the Privacy Policy. If there are material changes to this Privacy Policy or in how we will use your personal information, we will notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes prior to implementing the change or by directly sending you a notification. You agree that your continued use of the Opt-In Rewards software or Opt-In Rewards products after notice shall constitute your acceptance of the Privacy Policy. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to be informed of how Opt-In Rewards is collecting, using, and protecting your information.
