B. How Do We Collect the Information?

The categories of sources from which we collect Personal Information are described in the table above.

We only collect and use Personal Information when you voluntarily provide it to us, with the exception of your IP address, geolocation, and certain device information, which may be automatically captured when you access our Online Services.

In order to use some portions of our Online Services, a user must first complete a registration form or provide an email address that will require the user to provide a limited amount Personal Information. Registration is strictly voluntary.

Because of how email communication works, you will have to disclose an email address to us if you choose to contact us or communicate with us by email.

We automatically collect Analytics & Usage Information generated from your use of our Online Services. We use this Analytics & Usage Information in the aggregate. We do not combine these types of Analytics & Usage Information with Personal Information. We may also share aggregated demographic information with our business partners, sponsors, advertisers, and companies that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with PRADCO.

These features may collect your IP address, record which page you are visiting on our websites, and/or may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. You may be given the option by such Social Media Features to post information about your activities on our websites to a profile page of yours that is provided by a third-party Social Media network in order to share with others within your network. Social Media Features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on the websites. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing the relevant Social Media Features.

In such event, you may also provide information for publication or display (“Posted”) on public areas of the Websites (collectively, “User Contributions”). Your User Contributions are Posted and transmitted to others at your own risk. Although you may set certain privacy settings for such information by logging into your account profile, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. Additionally, we cannot control the actions of third parties with whom you may choose to share your User Contributions. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that your User Contributions will not be viewed by unauthorized persons.

C. How Do We Use the Information?

The business or commercial purpose(s) for which Personal Information is collected is described in the table above.

We may use the Personal Information we collect for the purposes of providing you with the Online Services and their content, processing your transactions, establishing the identity of account holders (including using Personal Information to create a common account across our Online Services), customer service, authorization, customer support, warranty services, improving and customizing our content, carrying out our obligations and enforcing rights arising out of any contracts, notifying you of updates to the Online Services, or changes to this Privacy Policy and any User Terms and Conditions, sharing your Personal Information internally with our affiliates so they can communicate with you about their products and services, and providing you with information about our products and services and the products and services of our affiliates. We will retain this information for as long as needed to provide you products and services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

We may use the Personal Information and Analytics & Usage Information we collect by sharing it with third party agents, vendors, contractors, partners, or content providers of PRADCO (collectively, "Service Providers") for the purposes of managing purchases of our products and services, servicing our systems, and obtaining support services for our businesses. We are not in the business of selling Personal Information to third parties or Service Providers, and will share it with Service Providers only as we describe in this Privacy Policy. In situations where we share Personal Information with Service Providers, access is granted to the Service Providers upon the condition that the Personal Information is kept confidential and is used only for carrying out the services these Service Providers are performing for PRADCO. As part of making that determination whether we will share Personal Information with Service Providers, we will obtain assurances that they will appropriately protect and maintain the confidentiality of Personal Information consistent with this Privacy Policy and as required by applicable law.

The Personal Information we collect from you may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you live. These countries may have data protection laws that are different than the laws of your country. Specifically, the servers we use to provide our Online Services are located in the United States. This means that when we collect your Personal Information, we may process it in the United States or in the country where you live. However, when we process your Personal Information, regardless of its processing location, we take appropriate measures, as discussed below, to ensure that your Personal Information remains protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We may share your usage data related to our Online Services with our affiliates for purposes of providing or improving our Online Services. We will not disclose any information about your usage data related to our Online Services to unaffiliated third parties, except as necessary to provide our Online Services, enhance the product experience, to enforce the terms of use, or as required by law. We may share your Personal Information internally with our affiliates so they can communicate with you about their products and services.

We may provide you the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys on through our Online Services. If you participate, we will request certain Personal Information from you. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip/postal code).

We use this information to notify contest winners and award prizes, to monitor site traffic or personalize the Online Services, and to send participants an email newsletter.

We use may use a third-party service provider to conduct these surveys or contests; that company will be prohibited from using our users’ Personal Information for any other purpose. We will not share the Personal Information you provide through a contest or survey with other third parties unless we provide you prior notice and choice.

We also reserve the right to disclose your Personal Information if we are required to do so by law, or in the good faith belief that disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process, to respond to claims, or to protect or advance the rights, property, safety, or well-being of our company, our employees, customers, or the public, including for the purposes of fraud protection.

We will not use your Personal Information for automated decision-making purposes.

In the unlikely event that all or substantially all of PRADCO’s assets are acquired, customer information, which may include Personal Information, may be one of the transferred assets unless restricted by applicable local law, in which case the acquiring entity will be subject to the same commitments for such customer information.

D. What is our Legal Basis for Collecting and Using Personal Information?

Our legal basis for collecting and using the Personal Information described above will depend on the Personal Information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

However, we will normally collect Personal Information from you only:

  • where we need the Personal Information to perform a contract with you or your organization;
  • where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, where applicable; or
  • where we have your consent to do

In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect Personal Information from you or may otherwise need the Personal Information to protect your vital interests or those of another person.

If we ask you to provide Personal Information to comply with a legal requirement, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your Personal Information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible impact if you do not provide your Personal Information).

Similarly, if we collect and use your Personal Information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.

If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your Personal Information, please contact us using the contact information provided below.

E. How Do We Secure Personal Information?

PRADCO takes appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that Personal Information we have collected or will collect in the future is secure. For example, we limit the number of people who have access to the Personal Information through organizational, physical, and electronic security systems and authentication methods that guard against unauthorized access. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using TLS/SSL technology.

We use industry-standard technologies when transferring and receiving consumer data we receive. We have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information that we have collected from you in connection with our Online Services.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of the Online Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Online Services like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Online Services.

As a reminder, PRADCO may provide links to third-party websites. These websites may not have the same privacy policies as PRADCO. We take reasonable care in recommending these websites, but we are not responsible for their content or privacy policies. We urge users to read the privacy statement of a third-party website when leaving our Online Services and linking to a third-party website.
