IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO SUCH TERMS, EXIT THIS PAGE AND DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SHOPALYST SERVICE.

We are committed to respect and protect the privacy of both Customers and Customer End Users and the information we may obtain through the Shopalyst Service, and we have created this Privacy Policy to inform all Users about how we collect, use and share information of Customers and Customer End Users, and about our privacy practices in general. “Customer” refers to those persons or entities that have contracted with Shopalyst to use the Shopalyst Service with Customer End Users. “Customer End Users” refers to those clients, customers, and/or end users of the applicable Customer.

We continually strive to find new ways to enhance your experience with the Shopalyst Service and we may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our privacy practices. You are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy periodically and to check the “Last Updated” date at the top of the Privacy Policy for the most recent version. If we make changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of notice through the Website, the Application, or any other part of the Shopalyst Service.

1.Terms of Service. Use of the Shopalyst Service is subject to the terms of our Privacy Policy.

2.Types and Uses of Collected Information. Shopalyst collects two types of information about you:
a.Personal Data. Personal Data is information that identifies a specific person. When you engage in certain activities via the Shopalyst Service, including but not limited to creating an account, sending feedback, or otherwise participating in the Shopalyst Service (collectively, “Identification Activities”), we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself. If you elect to engage in an Identification Activity, however, we may ask you to provide us with certain personal information about yourself, such as your name, address (including zip code), email address and/or telephone number. When you enroll in the Shopalyst Service, we may also ask you to provide us with additional information, such as credit card information. Depending on the Identification Activity, some of the information we ask you to provide may be identified as mandatory and some identified as voluntary. If you do not provide mandatory information for a particular Identification Activity, you will not be permitted to engage in that Identification Activity with the Shopalyst Service. Depending on the Identification Activity, we may not re-ask you for Personal Data if such is already stored with us.
We may receive information about you from our partner sites where you use the Shopalyst Service, or third parties. For example, if you access the Shopalyst Service through a third-party connection or log-in, for example, through Facebook Connect, by “following,” “liking,” adding the Company application, linking your account to the Shopalyst Service, etc., that third party may pass certain information about your use of its service to Company. This information could include, but is not limited to, the user ID associated with your account (for example, your Facebook UID), an access token necessary to access that service, any information that you have permitted the third party to share with us, and any information you have made public in connection with that service. If you allow us access to your friends list, your friends user IDs, and your connection to those friends, may be used and stored to make your experience more social, and to allow you to invite your friends to use the Shopalyst Service as well as provide you with updates if and when your friends join, if applicable. We encourage you to review and adjust your privacy settings on third-party websites and services before linking or connecting them to the Shopalyst Service. You may also unlink your third-party account from the Shopalyst Service by adjusting your settings on the applicable third-party service. If you unlink your third-party account, we will remove the information collected about you in connection with that service.
We may use Personal Data to provide products and/or services to you, administer sweepstakes and contests, enhance the operation of the Shopalyst Service, improve our marketing and promotional efforts, analyze use of the Shopalyst Service, improve the Shopalyst Service, and tailor your experience with third parties as provided below in this Privacy Policy. We may also use Personal Data to troubleshoot, resolve disputes, accomplish administrative tasks, contact you, enforce our agreements with you, including our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy, comply with applicable law, and cooperate with law enforcement activities.
When you browse the websites or view the advertising of certain third parties with whom we have partnered, we (and our partners) use cookies scripts, pixel tags, etags, web beacons and similar technologies (collectively referred to as “cookies”) to collect information automatically from your device (such as your PC, tablet or other mobile device). These cookies are then used to display the most appropriate and relevant advertising to you on third party websites and apps (including social media platforms) or to limit the number of times you see an advertisement. They stay on your computer unless you delete them and they remember that you have visited a website. We may also allow third parties with whom we have partnered to set cookies on the Shopalyst Service which enable that third party to analyse your visit to the Shopalyst Service and collect certain information regarding purchases of their products through our website. The types of information collected by such cookies may include: shopping cart information, what product pages have been viewed, and whether a product has been purchased. b.Non-Personal Data. Non-Personal Data is information that does not identify a specific person. This type of information may include things like the Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) of the website you visited before coming to the Shopalyst Service or otherwise participating in the Shopalyst Service, the URL of the website you visit after leaving the Shopalyst Service, the type of browser you are using, mobile carrier information, mobile device information, or general and/or aggregated location data that does constitute Personally Identifiable Information. We use Non-Personal Data to troubleshoot, provide, and administer the Shopalyst Service, analyze trends, gather demographic information, comply with applicable law, and cooperate with law enforcement activities. We may also share this information with our authorized Third Party Service Providers to measure the overall effectiveness of our products and services.

3.Sharing of Personal Data. We will not sell or share your Personal Data with other parties except as provided below:
a.Authorized Third Party Service Providers. We may provide products and services through third parties. These “Third Party Service Providers” perform functions on our or your behalf. You or We may share your Personal Data with such Third Party Service Providers to fulfill orders, analyze data (including IP Addresses), operate the Shopalyst Service, troubleshoot, and provide customer service. We may also provide Personal Data to individuals and companies with whom we have business relationships and may share your information with Third Party Service Providers to accomplish our administrative tasks. However, the use of your Personal Data by such parties is governed by the privacy policies of such parties and is not subject to our control.
b.Remarketing is a way for us to connect with people, based upon your past interactions with the Shopalyst Service. Third-party marketing vendors may be hired by Shopalyst to perform remarketing services. As a result, third-party vendors, may show Shopalyst ads on sites on the Internet. Third-party vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to the Shopalyst Service.
c.Acquisition. As with any other company, we could merge with, or be acquired by another company. If this occurs, the successor company would acquire the information we maintain, including Personal Data. However, Personal Data would remain subject to this Privacy Policy.
d.As required by law. We reserve the right to disclose your Personal Data as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on us, enforce or apply this Privacy Policy, Terms of Service or other agreements or protect the rights, property or safety of the Shopalyst Service, users of the Shopalyst Service or others.

4.Customer End Users. As part of the provision of the Shopalyst Service to Customers, Shopalyst collects certain information and data about Customer End Users as determined by the applicable Customer (“Customer End User Data”). Shopalyst does not control or otherwise approve any messages or requests for Customer End User Data made by a Customer to a Customer End User. Customer End Users should be aware that a Customer can request such Customer End User Data from them in order to use the Customer’s products or services and that Customer End User Data may then be included in information given to Shopalyst or through your use of the Shopalyst Service. Therefore, Customer End Users should review the privacy policy of a Customer’s applicable product or service to assess the security of any information a Customer End User discloses. To the extent that Shopalyst receives any Customer End User Data, Shopalyst shall make reasonable efforts, consistent with the terms of this Privacy Policy, to maintain the confidentiality of such Customer End User Data. Shopalyst has no direct relationship to the Customer End Users whose Customer End User Data it processes and such Customer End User who seeks access, or who seeks to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate Customer End User Data should direct such query to the applicable Customer for removal. In the event such Customer requests removal of such applicable Customer End User Data from Shopalyst, if applicable, Shopalyst will respond to such request within one month; provided that (i) such period may be extended by up to two additional months when necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of the requests and (ii) Shopalyst shall inform you of any such extension within one month of receipt of the request, together with the reasons for the delay.

5.Customer End User Data. Shopalyst will not review, share, distribute, or reference any such Customer End User Data except as provided in Shopalyst’s applicable agreement with Customer, or as may be required by law. Shopalyst acknowledges that Customer End Users have the right to access their personal information. If Personal Data pertaining to a Customer End User has been submitted to us by a Customer and a Customer End User wishes to exercise any rights it may have to access, correct, amend, or delete such data, Customer End User should inquire with the Customer directly. Because Shopalyst personnel have limited ability to access data our Customers may submit to the Shopalyst Service, if a Customer End User wishes to make a request directly to Shopalyst, please provide the name of the Customer who submitted your data to the Shopalyst Service. We will refer your request to such Customer and will support them as needed in responding to your request.

You need to prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personal Data by selecting and protecting your password and/or other sign-in mechanism appropriately and limiting access to your computer, browser, or mobile device by signing off after you have finished accessing your account. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time. In the event that we believe that the security of your information may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you of that development. In addition, your Personal Data resides on a secure server that only selected personnel and contractors have access to. We may encrypt certain sensitive information using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to ensure that your Personal Data is safe as it is transmitted to us. However, no data transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

In the event that any information under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, we will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation and where appropriate, notify users whose information may have been compromised and take other steps, in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations.
