This Master Privacy Policy (”Privacy Policy”) explains the collection, use, and
disclosure of “personal information” by Buzzeromatic, a Washington State Corporation,
with its principal place of business in Seattle, Washington, through the websites
that Buzzeromatic operates at
http://www.buzzeromatic.com (the “Buzzer o' Matic Website”), http://www.flauntable.com
(the "Flauntable Website"), http://www.iamsaintnick.com (the "I Am Saint Nick Website"),
and http://www.iamsaintvalentino.com (the "I Am Saint Valentino Website") collectively,
together with all sub-domains thereof including, without limitation.
Any “personal information” that Buzzeromatic collects is handled in accordance
with our Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy explains our commitment to you with respect to our use and disclosure
of non personal browsing and site usage data that Buzzeromatic collects as the
provider of the Websites. That commitment is contained in a "Data Usage Policy,"
below.
As used in this policy, "personal information" means information that would allow
a party to identify you such as, for example, your name, address or location, telephone
number or email address.
By accessing the Website, you are accepting and agreeing to the practices described
in this Privacy Policy.
Buzzeromatic Principles
Nectar Factary is committed to handling responsibly
the information and data we collect about you through our Websites, whether personal information or non personal
browsing and site usage data. We have
designed our Privacy Policy and our Data Usage
Policy consistent with the following principles (the “Principles”):
- Privacy policies and data collection and use policies should be human readable,
comprehensive, and easy to locate;
- Only the minimum amount of information reasonably necessary to provide you with
services should be collected and maintained, and only for so long as reasonably
needed or required;
- Information you provide through our Websites, or that we gather as a result of your
use of our Websites, should not be used for marketing or advertising purposes, nor should it be provided voluntarily (without your permission) to anyone else unless
required; and
- Unless restricted or prohibited by law, and provided your email address has been
collected and retained, you should be notified when circumstances require Necatar
Factory to provide a third party with your personal information.
Personal Information Buzzeromatic Collects
We may collect personal information at several places on the Websites, including
without limitation:
- in connection with your selection of any paid or non-paid service plan
- when you use money to purchase goods or services.
- when you provide personal information in connection with your participation in any
of the services we provide.
Exception: Credit Card numbers and Credit Card data are not stored on our sites.
We only pass that information to our secure payment gateways.
What Buzzeromatic does with Personal Information
Usage of our services: Registered Users. When you register to obtain a user
account on any of the Websites (any such person, a “Registered User”), including
but not limited to the Buzzer O' Matic website (located at
http://www.buzzeromatic.com) you may be asked to provide personal information
(such as telephone number, credit card information) to create your account and establish
a password and profile. Providing your email address and/or real name is not optional.
If you do provide your email address, it will allow us to send you your password
if you should forget it. Your name may be associated with the content you
are associated with. We will also use that personal information to establish and
maintain your membership and provide you with the features we provide for Registered
Users, and for the purpose of contacting you about upcoming news and events relevant
to Buzzeromatic, and for credit card authorizations.
Any other personal information that we may collect which is not described specifically
in this Privacy Policy will only be collected and used in accordance with the Principles.
Disclosures of Personal Information
In general, it is not Buzzeromatic’s practice to disclose personal information
to third parties. We may share personal information in two instances:
First, Buzzeromatic may share personal information with our contractors and service
providers in order to maintain, enhance, or
add to the functionality of the Websites.
Second, we may disclose your personal information to third parties in a good faith
belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) take action regarding
suspected illegal activities; (b) enforce or apply our Master Terms of Use and Privacy
Policy; (c) comply with legal process, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute,
or court order; or (d) protect our rights, reputation, and
property, or that of
our users, affiliates, or the public.
If Buzzeromatic is required to provide a third party with your personal information
(whether by subpoena or otherwise), then provided we have collected and retained
an email address for you, Buzzeromatic will use reasonable means to notify you
promptly of that event, unless prohibited by law or Buzzeromatic is otherwise
advised not to notify you on the advice of legal counsel.
Security of Personal Information Collected via the Websites
Buzzeromatic has implemented reasonable measures to protect against unauthorized
access to and unlawful interception or processing of personal information that Nectar
Factory stores and controls. However, no website can fully eliminate security risks.
Third parties may circumvent our security measures to unlawfully intercept or access
transmissions or private communications. We will post a reasonably prominent notice
to the Websites if any such security breach occurs.
Data Usage Policy: Non Personal Browsing and Site Usage Information
Our Data Usage Policy covers how we maintain and use information about you that
is collected by our Websites and server logs, including when you log into our Websites.
Non Personal Browsing Information We Collect. When you use the Websites,
our servers (which may be hosted by a third party service provider) may collect
information indirectly and automatically (through, for example, the use of your
“IP address”) about your activities while visiting the Websites and information
about the browser you are using. In addition, whenever you use your registered login
to log into a website, our servers (which, again, may be hosted by a third party
service provider) keep a log of the visit.
Personal Information We Collect. When you use the Websites, we may
require personal information such as telephone numbers, addresses, names, etc.
Except in the unique situations identified in this Privacy Policy, Buzzeromatic
does not sell or otherwise voluntarily provide the personal information we collect
about you or your website usage to third parties.
No Linking. We do not intentionally link browsing information or information
to the personal information you submit to us. We use this information for internal
purposes only, such as to help understand how the Websites are being used, to improve
our Websites and the features we provide, and for systems administration purposes.
Buzzeromatic may use a third party analytics provider to help us collect and analyze
non personal browsing information through operation of our Websites for those same
purposes; however, we will never use a third party analytics provider to collect
or analyze any information through our operations as an OpenID service provider.
No Selling or Sharing. Except in the unique situations identified in this
Privacy Policy, Buzzeromatic does not sell or otherwise voluntarily provide the
non personal browsing information we collect about you or your website usage to
third parties.
No Access. Buzzeromatic could technically access your web-based account,
and could log in on behalf of any of its users to any of the accounts they have
accessed using their Website id. Buzzeromatic will never use this technical login
ability for any purpose unless otherwise required by law.
No Retention. Buzzeromatic discards non personal browsing information from
our server logs once we have used the information for the limited purposes noted
above, under “No Linking.” We do not store credit card information on our
site, we only pass that information to our payment gateway in a secured manner (https://).
Notice. If Buzzeromatic is required to provide a third party with your
non personal browsing information or to log in on behalf (whether by subpoena
or otherwise), then Buzzeromatic will use reasonable means to notify you promptly
of that event, unless Buzzeromatic is prohibited by law from doing so or is otherwise
advised not to notify you on the advice of legal counsel.
Any other non-personal information that we collect which is not described specifically
in this Privacy Policy will only be collected and used in accordance with the Principles.
Reorganization or Spin-Offs
Buzzeromatic may transfer some or all of your personal and/or non personal browsing
information to a third party as a result of a reorganization, spin-off or similar transaction. Upon such transfer, the acquirer’s privacy policy will apply. In such
event, Buzzeromatic will use reasonable efforts to notify you and to ensure that at the time of the transaction the acquirer’s privacy policy complies with the Principles.
Children
The Websites are not directed at children under the age of 13. Consistent with the
federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never
knowingly request personal information from anyone under the age of 13 without requiring
parental consent. Our Terms of Use
specifically prohibit anyone using our Websites from submitting any personally identifiable
information about persons under 13 years of age. Any person who provides their personal
information to Buzzeromatic through the Websites represents that they are 13 years
of age or older.
Third-Party Sites
The Websites may include links to other websites. You should consult the respective
privacy policies of these third-party sites. This Privacy Policy does not apply
to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other websites.
Special Note to International Users
The Websites are hosted in the United
States. If you are accessing the Websites
from the European Union, Asia, or any other region with laws or regulations governing
personal data collection, use and disclosure that differ from United States laws,
please note that you are transferring your personal data to the United States which
does not have the same data protection laws as the EU and other regions. By providing
your personal data you
consent to:
- the use of your personal data for the uses identified above in accordance with the
Privacy Policy; and
- the transfer of your personal data to the United States as indicated above.
Changes and Updates to this Privacy Policy
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When we do, we will also revise
the Effective Date below. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy
to stay informed about how we are protecting the personal information we collect.
Your
continued use of the Websites constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy
and any updates.
