Such personally identifiable information may include but is not limited to (i) registration-related information (such as name, home or work addresses, e-mail addresses, telephone and fax numbers, birth date or gender); and (ii) transaction-related information (such as credit card or other preferred means of payment.

Non-personally identifiable information can also include certain personally identifiable information that has been de-identified, that is, information that no longer reveals your specific identity. We may collect non-personal information from information that you provide us, either separately or together with your personally identifiable information. This information can include, among other things: your IP address or other unique identifiers that are automatically assigned to your computer, mobile or other device used to access the Web Site; the type of browser you are using (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc.); the third party website from which your visit originated; the operating system you are using (e.g., Vista, Windows XP, Mac OS, etc.); the domain name of your Internet service provider; the search terms you use on our Web Site; the specific areas within our Web Site that you visit; information collected through cookies, pixel tags and other technologies and the time of day and duration of your visits. Your information may be supplemented with additional information from other companies or gathered by ConvertaCard from other third party sources including but not limited to, social media platforms and joint marketing partners. In addition, ConvertaCard may collect personally identifiable information from offline sources, such as when you attend one of our trade shows, contact customer service, or place an order over the phone. In addition, if you elect to connect your social media account to your account on the Web Site, certain personally identifiable information from your social media account will be shared with us, which may include personally identifiable information that is part of your profile.

We and our service providers may also collect information from you when you register on our Web Site, place an order, subscribe to a newsletter, respond to a survey, fill out a form, or enter information on our Web Site.

We may also collect information about how you use the Web Site, including certain technical information gathered when you use the Web Site. While all of this information may not be personally identifiable, it may be associated with personally identifiable information that you provide to ConvertaCard through the Web Site or otherwise. Other information that may not personally identify you may be collected by ConvertaCard (such as patterns of utilization of the Web Site or any information that is de-identified) and may be utilized and disclosed by ConvertaCard as allowed by law.

When you submit information to us through any of our Web Sites, you should be aware that your information is transmitted across the Internet and that no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. Although we take reasonable security measures to protect your information when we receive it, you also need to ensure you take appropriate steps to protect your information.

If you disclose any personally identifiable information relating to other people to us or to our service providers in connection with the services, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Like most web sites, the Web Site uses cookies and web log files to track site usage. A cookie is a tiny data file which resides on your computer which allows ConvertaCard to recognize you as a user when you return to the Web Site using the same computer and web browser. Unfortunately, if your browser settings do not allow cookies, you may not be able to use the Web Site or certain features thereon. Like the information you enter during account registration, cookie and log file data is used to enhance and personalize your experience on the Web Site, including (i) to operate and improve offerings through the Web Site; (ii) to help authenticate your identity when you visit; (iii) to remember your preferences and registration information; (iv) enable a shopping cart; (v) to present and help measure and research the effectiveness of our offerings, advertisements, and e-mail communications (by determining which ConvertaCard e-mails you open and act upon); and (vi) to customize the content and advertisements provide to you by ConvertaCard. One type of cookie, known as a “persistent” cookie, is set once you have logged in to your Web Site account. The next time you visit our Web Site, the persistent cookie will allow us to recognize you as an existing user so you will not need to log in before using the Web Site. Additionally, if you log out of the Web Site you will need to re-enter your password the next time you visit in order to log in to your account. Another type of cookie, called a “session” cookie, is used to identify a particular visit to the Web Site. Session cookies expire after a short time or when you close your web browser. You can choose to disable cookies on your browser or allow your browser to notify you when a cookie is being sent, however this may prevent you from utilizing certain features of the Web Site.

IP Addresses

Due to the communications standards on the Internet, we automatically receive the uniform resource locater (URL) of the web site from which you came and the web site to which you proceed once you leave the Web Site. We also receive the IP address of your computer (or the proxy server you use to access the World Wide Web), your computer operating system and type of web browser you are using, as well as the name of your Internet service provider (ISP). This information is used to analyze overall trends to help us improve the Web Site. The linkage between your IP address and your personally identifiable information may be used and disclosed in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may derive your approximate location from your IP address.

Email Communications

If you send us an email with questions or comments, we may use your personally identifiable information to respond to your questions or comments, and we may save your questions or comments for future reference. For security reasons, we do not recommend that you send non-public personal information, such as passwords, credit card information, social security numbers, or bank account information, to us by email. In certain instances, we may provide you with the option to set your preferences for receiving email communications from us; that is, agree to some communications but not others.

To protect your privacy and security, the Web Site requires the use of passwords to help verify your identity before granting access or making corrections to any of your information. We work to protect the security of your information during transport by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software which encrypts information you input. However, no security methods are perfect or impenetrable.

California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy. – See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
