Last Updated: March 12, 2023

Promowise LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, and its subsidiaries, divisions, and affiliates ("Promowise," "our," "we," or "us") take your privacy very seriously.

Your use of the Service is conditioned upon your agreement with this Policy and our Terms of Service. Before using our Service, please read this Policy carefully as it contains important information on who we are and how and why we collect, store, use, and share your personal information. This Policy also explains your rights in relation to your personal information and how to contact us or supervisory authorities in the event you have a complaint.

By using the Service, you acknowledge and accept that you have read and understand our Policy and Terms of Service and that you agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy or our Terms of Service, then you may not use the Service.

This Policy is written in the English language. We do not guarantee the accuracy of any translated versions of this Policy. To the extent that any translated versions of this Policy conflict with the English language version, the English language version of this Policy shall control.

1. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

The Service is not meant for individuals under the age of eighteen, and the Service may use mechanisms to prevent the registration and use of the Service by such underage individuals. Promowise will never knowingly request or collect personal information from any child. If you are under eighteen years old, please do not provide your information on our Service. Upon notification that a child has provided us with personally identifiable information, we will delete the child's personally identifiable information from our records. If you believe we might have any information from a child, please contact us.

2. COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Information you provide to us

Promowise will collect personal information from you directly when you interact with our Service, create or modify your account, request customer support, or otherwise communicate with us.

Information we obtain indirectly

We may receive personal information about you from our third-party affiliates or partners and from marketing companies that provide us with such information as a part of their relationship with us, and we may combine this information with information that we have already collected about you.

For example, if you engage with a third-party site application whose API we use (e.g., Salesforce) or who uses our API, we may receive information about you or your connections from such site or application. Likewise, if you are referred to us by one of our referral partners, we receive information about you from such referral partner.

Information collected automatically

When you use our Service, we collect certain information about you automatically through our use of cookies and similar technologies. This information may include your IP address, device and browser type, operating system, referring URLs, access times, pages visited, links clicked, and other browsing activities. This data helps us understand how users interact with our Service and enables us to improve the user experience.

To learn more about how we use cookies and other tracking technologies, please refer to our Cookie Policy, which is available on our website.

Beyond this, unless stated otherwise in a separate agreement, Promowise does not collect sensitive personal information such as your social security, driver’s license, state identification card, or passport number; your account login, financial account, debit card, or credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account; your racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, political opinions, or trade union membership; the contents of your mail, email and text messages, unless we are the intended recipient of the communication; your genetic data; your biometric information for the purpose of uniquely identifying you; and personal information collected and analyzed concerning your health or your sex life or sexual orientation.

Promowise does not trade, rent, or sell your personal information to third parties or share your personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Most often, the reason we process your information is to perform the contract that you have with us or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract. For example, we use your information to maintain your account. We also use your information for our legitimate interests or those of a third party. A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information, so long as this is not overridden by your own rights and interests. For example, we analyze users’ behavior to continuously improve the Service and for administrative, fraud detection, and legal purposes. Finally, from time to time, we may ask for your consent to use your information for certain specific reasons.

Data Collection Technology helps us improve your experience of the Service by, for example, storing your password, measuring the success of marketing campaigns, compiling statistics related to the use of the Service, and helping us analyze technical and navigational information about the Service in order to detect and prevent fraud. We may use other Data Collection Technology to collect information from the computer or device that you use to access the Services, such as your operating system type, browser type, domain and other system settings, including the language your system uses and the country and time zone in which your computer or device is located.

Promowise uses reasonable security measures to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under its control and takes precautions intended to help protect information that we process. Such measures and precautions may change from time to time, depending on industry standards and perceived security risks. However, despite such security measures and precautions, no system or electronic data transmission is completely secure. Promowise cannot guarantee the security of your information and disclaims liability for loss, misuse, and alteration of your information under its control to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law.

We retain personal information in identifiable form only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the personal information was provided to Promowise or, if longer, to comply with legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to enforce agreements, and for similar essential purposes.

By way of illustration but not limitation, this means we keep your personal information while you have an account with us or while we are providing the Service to you. Thereafter, we will keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary to, for example, respond to any questions, complaints, or claims made by you or on your behalf; show that we treated you fairly; or keep records required by law.

We will not retain your personal information for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this policy. Different retention periods apply for different types of personal information. When it is no longer necessary to retain your personal information, we will securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Our Service may contain links to other websites owned and operated by third parties, including without limitation social media websites. A link to a third-party website or service does not mean that we endorse it or the quality or accuracy of the information presented on or in such third-party website or service. When you click on a link to any other website or location, you will leave our Service and go to another site, and another entity may collect personal data or anonymous data from you. We have no control over, do not review, and cannot be responsible for, these outside websites or their content. Please be aware that the terms of this Privacy Policy do not apply to these outside websites or content, or to any collection of your personal information by third parties through the linked sites. Promowise is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such other websites. Promowise expressly disclaims any liability that may arise from your use or provision of any of your information whatsoever to third-party websites.

17. SPECIAL NOTICE TO E.U. AND U.K. RESIDENTS

To deliver services to you, we routinely process and may share your personal information in the United States with the US-based recipients and for the processing operations listed in the “Disclosure of Personal Information” section of this Policy. We strive to ensure that all such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws, including the E.U. and U.K. General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), and that all personal information will be secure. To implement lawful safeguards, our standard practice is to use legally-approved standard data protection contract clauses from a controller to a processor recognized or issued further to Article 46(2) of the U.K. GDPR and E.U. GDPR.

Personal information or “personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (each a “data subject”). A data subject is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Request to Access. You may request access to the personal data that Promowise holds about you and request to be provided with a copy of your personal data.
Request to Rectify. You may request that we correct any mistakes or inaccuracies in your personal data or to complete any incomplete personal data.
Request to Delete. You may request that we delete your personal data. Please note that we may not delete your personal data if:

- The data is being used to exercise the right of freedom of expression and information;
- The data is being used to comply with a legal ruling or obligation;
- The data is being used to perform a task that is being carried out in the public interest or when exercising an organization’s official authority;
- The data being processed is necessary for public health purposes and serves in the public interest;
- The data represents important information that serves the public interest, scientific research, historical research, or statistical purposes and where erasure of the data would likely to impair or halt progress towards the achievement that was the goal of the processing; or
- The data is being used for the establishment of a legal defense or in the exercise of other legal claims.

Request to Restrict Processing. You may request that we limit the way in which we process your personal data (i.e., by requesting that we continue to store your personal data, but cease certain processing activities with regard to it), where:

- You contest the accuracy of the personal data we have collected about you;
- You believe our processing of your personal data is unlawful, but you oppose the erasure of your personal data and prefer that our processing be restricted instead;
- We no longer need your personal data but you require such personal data for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or
- You have objected to our processing pending the verification of our legitimate grounds for processing.

Data Portability Request. You may request to receive the personal data you provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format or to transmit such data to a third party where (i) you provided the data to Promowise, (ii) our processing is based on your consent or is necessary to fulfill a contract with you, and (iii) our processing is automated. Note that we may refuse your request if these criteria are not met.
Automated Individual Decision making Request. You may request not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects that concern you or that similarly significantly affect you, except where the automated individual decisionmaking is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between you and us; is authorized by law; or is based on your explicit consent.
Objection. You may object, on grounds related to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your personal data, and we will only process the data where we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds in accordance with the GDPR.
