TARGETED ADVERTISING

• We engage certain third-party service providers to serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet and to provide analytics services. We may also participate in third-party affiliate advertising and allow third-party affiliate links to be encoded on some of our pages.

This information may be used by us, our service providers and their clients in aggregated, anonymous form to, among other things, analyze and track aggregated data, determine the popularity of certain content or products, measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns, determine the proper amount of repeat views of a given ad, and deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests on our Services and outside of our Services on other websites (also known as “interest-based advertising”). These service providers are prohibited from collecting any Personal Information from you and we do not share any of your Personal Information with them.
• You have a choice about participating in interest-based advertising. If you wish to opt out of such participation, you have a few options:
  • Your device settings may allow you to limit the use of information from your device in interest-based advertising through your browser’s settings (such as under the “Security & Privacy” settings of the Safari app on an iOS device) or an “Opt Out of Interest-Based Ads” setting (on an Android device).

This section also applies to residents of Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Residents of the EEA, Switzerland and the United Kingdom are referred to here as “EEA Residents“.
  • Since May 25, 2018, all processing of Personal Information of EEA Residents is performed by us in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons regarding the processing of Personal Information and on the free movement of such data (“GDPR“).
  • Under the GDPR, we are the controller and a processor of the Personal Information of EEA Residents. Our purpose for collecting and processing Personal Information from EEA Residents is to obtain contact information, to substantiate such information and to provide the Services. The legal basis for collecting Personal Information is your consent. You may withdraw consent for obtaining such communications by following the “Unsubscribe” instructions on any communication or by contacting us at hello@joinsharedvision.com.
  • If you are a resident of the EEA and believe that we have Personal Information about you, and you wish to access or correct the Personal Information that we have about you or have any questions relating to the processing of your Personal Information, please contact us at hello@joinsharedvision.com with the subject line “GDPR Data.”

Under the GDPR, we are considered a “controller” and a “co-processor” of the Personal Information of EEA Residents. By providing Personal Information to us for the purpose of setting up an account, obtaining Services, or adding yourself to our contact lists, you consent to the transfer of your Personal Information to the United States. The transfer of your Personal Information to the United States is necessary for the performance of a contract between you and us for obtaining Services.
• California Consumers
  • This section pertains to the rights of individuals or households in California (“California consumers“).
  • Under certain circumstances, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 states that, upon receipt of a request by a California consumer, a business may be required to provide detailed information regarding how that business has shared that customer’s Personal Information with third parties for direct marketing purposes. However, the foregoing does not apply to businesses like ours that do not disclose Personal Information to third parties for direct marketing purposes.
  • The CCPA (California Civil Code Section 1798.100 et seq.) provides California consumers with additional rights regarding Personal Information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly with a particular consumer or household. The categories of Personal Information we collect are generally described above but differ for individual consumers depending on the services used by such consumers.
  • Under the CCPA, qualifying California consumers may have the following rights:
    • Right to Know and Right to Delete.
      • A California consumer has the right to request that we disclose what Personal Information we collect, use, disclose and sell. A California consumer also has the right to submit requests to delete Personal Information.
      • When we receive a valid request to know or delete from a California consumer, we will confirm receipt of the request within 10 days and provide information about how we will process the request, including our verification process. We will respond to such requests within 45 days.
    • Right for Disclosure of Information.
      • A California consumer may also submit requests that we disclose specific types or categories of Personal Information that we collect.
      • Under certain circumstances, we will not provide such information, including where the disclosure creates a substantial, articulable and unreasonable risk to the security of that Personal Information, customers’ account with us, or the security of our systems or networks. We also will not disclose California consumers’ social security numbers, driver’s license numbers or other government-issued identification numbers, financial account numbers, any health insurance or medical identification numbers, or account passwords and security questions and answers.
  • Submitting Requests. If you are a California consumer and would like to make any requests under the CCPA, please see the “Changing and Deleting Personal Information” the section.
  • Verifying Requests. If we receive any request we will use a two-step process for online requests where the California consumer must first, clearly submit the request and then second, separately confirm the request. We will use other appropriate measures to verify requests received by mail or telephone.
  • To verify a request, a California consumer must provide a business with sufficient information to identify the consumer, such as name, e-mail address, home or work address, or other such information that is on record with us so that we can match such information to the Personal Information that we maintain. Do not provide social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, account numbers, credit or debit card numbers, medical information or health information with requests. If requests are unclear or submitted through means other than outline above, we will provide the California consumer with specific directions on how to submit the request or remedy any deficiencies. If we cannot verify the identity of the requestor, we may deny the request.
• Children under 13
  • We are committed to preserving online privacy for all of its website visitors, including children. Consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13, and we delete any such information we become aware of. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us at “please contact our site as provided below under “Contact Us,” and be sure to include in your message the same login information that your child submitted.
