We will also use your Personal Data for customer service, to provide you with information that you may request, to customize your experience with the Site Offerings and/or to contact you when necessary in connection with your use of the Site Offerings. We may also use your Personal Data for internal business purposes, such as analyzing and managing our service offerings including, without limitation, the Site Offerings.

We may also employ other companies and individuals to perform certain functions on our behalf. Examples include the Third-Party Service Providers that operate the Third-Party Portals. The entities performing these limited functions on our behalf shall have access to our Users’ Personal Data solely as needed to perform these functions for us, but we do not permit them to use User Personal Data for other purposes.

At times, we may want to contact you via telephone regarding your use of the Site Offerings. To enable us to contact you by telephone regarding your use of the Site Offerings, you agree that by submitting your Personal Data by and through the Site Offerings, and where you provide your consent as required under the GDPR, such act constitutes an inquiry and/or application for purposes of the Amended Telemarketing Sales Rule (16 CFR §310 et seq.), as amended from time to time (the “Rule”) and applicable state do-not-call regulations. As such, notwithstanding that your telephone number may be listed on the Federal Trade Commission’s Do-Not-Call List, and/or on applicable state do-not-call lists, we retain the right to contact you via telemarketing in accordance with the Rule and applicable state do-not-call regulations.

At times, we may want to contact you via your mobile device regarding your use of the Site Offerings. To enable us to contact your mobile device, you agree that, where you provide your consent as required under the GDPR and where you provide “prior express written consent” within the meaning of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 USC § 227), and its implementing regulations adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (47 CFR § 64.1200), as amended from time-to-time (“TCPA”), you consent to receive telephone calls, including artificial voice calls, pre-recorded messages and/or calls delivered via automated technology, to the telephone number(s) that you provided. Please note that you are not required to provide this consent in order to obtain access to the Site Offerings, and your consent simply allows TEXTiUM™ to contact you via these means. Please be advised that by agreeing to this Privacy Policy, you are obligated to immediately inform us if and when the telephone number that you have previously provided to us changes. Without limiting the foregoing, if you: (a) have your telephone number reassigned to another person or entity; (b) give up your telephone number so that it is no longer used by you; (c) port your telephone number to a landline or vice versa; or (d) otherwise stop using that telephone number for any reason (collectively “Phone Number Change”), you agree that you shall promptly notify TEXTiUM™ of the Phone Number Change via e-mail at: info@textium.com, or by using one of the methods set forth in the “Contact Us” section below.

We reserve the right to release current or past Personal Data: (i) in the event that we believe that the Site Offerings are being or have been used in material violation of the Terms and Conditions or to commit unlawful acts; (ii) if the information is subpoenaed; provided, however, that, where permitted by applicable law, we shall provide you with e-mail notice, and opportunity to challenge the subpoena, prior to disclosure of any Personal Data pursuant to a subpoena; (iii) to comply with a legal obligation, including sharing your name/e-mail address with third-parties to assist you with your opt out requests in compliance with applicable law, including the GDPR and the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, as amended from time-to-time; (iv) to protect and defend the rights or property of the TEXTiUM™ and/or its other Users; (v) to act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of Users or the public; or (vi) if we are sold, merge with a third party, are acquired or are the subject of bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that if TEXTiUM™ is involved in a bankruptcy proceeding, merger, acquisition or sale of all or a portion of its assets, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on the Site of any change in ownership or uses of your Personal Data, as well as any choices that you may have regarding your Personal Data.

Nevertheless, most Internet browsers contain a “do-not-track” setting. In general, when a “do-not-track” setting is active, the User’s Internet browser notifies other websites that the User does not want his/her Information and online behavior to be tracked and used, for example, for behavioral advertising.

If you engage in any interaction with TEXTiUM™, other Users or any third party on any Social Media Pages, you should be aware that: (a) the Personal Data that you submit by and through such Social Media Pages can be read, collected and/or used by other users of these websites/services (depending on your privacy settings associated with your accounts with the applicable Social Media Websites), and could be used to send you unsolicited messages or otherwise to contact you without your consent or desire; and (b) where TEXTiUM™ responds to any interaction on such Social Media Pages, your account name/handle may be viewable by any and all members/users of TEXTiUM’s™ social media accounts.

We are not responsible for the Personal Data that you choose to submit on any Social Media Websites.

THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

This Site may contain links to third-party owned and/or operated websites, web venues and other web-based properties including, without limitation, the Social Media Websites.

These third-party websites/web venues have separate privacy and data collection practices and TEXTiUM™ has no responsibility or liability relating to them.

SECURITY

We endeavor to safeguard and protect our Users’ Personal Data. When Users make Personal Data available to us, their Personal Data is protected both online and offline (to the extent that we maintain any Personal Data offline). When we store and transmit Personal Data, that Personal Data is encrypted with advanced TLS (Transport Layer Security).

Access to your Personal Data is strictly limited, and we take reasonable measures to ensure that your Personal Data is not accessible to the public. All of our Users’ Personal Data is restricted in our offices, as well as the offices of our third-party service providers. Only employees or third-party agents who need User Personal Data to perform a specific job are granted access to User Personal Data. Our employees are dedicated to ensuring the security and privacy of all User Personal Data. Employees not adhering to our firm policies are subject to disciplinary action. The servers that we store User Personal Data on are kept in a secure physical environment. We also have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of Personal Data under our control.

Please be advised, however, that while we take every reasonable precaution available to protect your data, no storage facility, technology, software, security protocols or data transmission over the Internet or via wireless networks can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Computer hackers that circumvent our security measures may gain access to certain portions of your Personal Data, and technological bugs, errors and glitches may cause inadvertent disclosures of your Personal Data; provided, however, that any attempt to breach the security of the network, our servers, databases or other hardware or software may constitute a crime punishable by law. For the reasons mentioned above, we cannot warrant that your Personal Data will be absolutely secure. Any transmission of data at or through the Site, other Site Offerings or otherwise via the Internet or wireless networks, is done at your own risk.

In compliance with applicable law, we shall notify you and any applicable regulatory agencies in the event that we learn of an information security breach with respect to your Personal Data. You will be notified via e-mail in the event of such a breach. Please be advised that notice may be delayed in order to address the needs of law enforcement, determine the scope of network damage, and to engage in remedial measures.
