In addition, we may obtain information about individuals who are not yet our customers, members, or users of our websites.

​

3. How Your Information Is Protected

We have technical, administrative and physical safeguards in place to help protect against unauthorized access to, use or disclosure of customer, member, and user information we collect or store. For example, we use secure web pages and encrypted data protocols to protect information transferred through our websites. We do not display or post any images or personal data of customers, members, guests, or users on any of our websites that would be visible to the public without first obtaining written permission and appropriate releases prior to such posting. We also use a third-party payment gateway service that enables us to authorize and manage credit card and debit card charges safely via a secure Internet Protocol (IP) connection. Furthermore, employees are trained on the importance of protecting privacy and on the proper access to, and use and disclosure of, customer, member, and user information and data. Under our practices and policies, access to personally identifiable, credit card, and other sensitive information and data is authorized only for those who have a business need for such access. Personally, identifiable and other sensitive records are retained only as long as required by law or as otherwise reasonably necessary for business, accounting, tax or legal purposes. Although we strive to protect personal information that we collect, no program is 100% secure, and consequently we cannot guarantee that our safeguards will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use or disclose personal information. It is also imperative that you keep your account passwords, membership numbers and any PIN numbers safe and secure. Don't share those with anyone! We maintain security and incident response plans to handle situations involving unauthorized access to private information obtained through our websites and other data collection methods. If you become aware of an issue with the security of information transmitted through any of our websites, please contact us immediately using the contact information provided above in Section 1 of this Privacy Policy, and we will work with you to address any problems.

​

4. How Your Information Used

We may use the information you provide in order to provide you with products and services, process transactions that you have made, and to communicate with you. We may also use the information collected for other business-related purposes such as to better understand customer and member needs, to enhance customer and member experiences, to analyze, audit or evaluate our systems and processes, to train employees, to offer additional products and services, or to facilitate third party offers that may be of interest.

We may use the information collected using technology to improve our websites and to enhance the experiences, products, and services offered to customers, members, and other visitors to our websites. The data and information we collect is also used to: enrich your visits to our websites; evaluate and improve our products and services; provide advertisements and offers; analyze and enhance our marketing efforts; communicate with customers and members; administer your account information; and tailor your personal preferences.

We may use the information collected from third parties to personalize your experiences and our marketing communications, to enhance our products and services, and to better serve you.

Third-party vendors may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use the website. Occasionally, we may also partner with other companies in joint marketing arrangements or to provide co-sponsored or co-branded promotions, products and services and may share your information with such companies. For example, we may co-sponsor a sweepstakes or contest with other companies, or we may provide prizes for sweepstakes sponsored by other companies. If you enter one of these sweepstakes or contests, we may share your information with the co-sponsor or third-party sponsor. All of these third parties with whom we share information have contractual obligations with us to maintain the confidentiality of your information and their use of your information is typically restricted to specific business purposes and in accordance with any applicable laws.
