WERQ FITNESS PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy was last updated on August 1, 2016.
Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy sets forth how WERQ Fitness, LLC (“WERQ Fitness,” “we,” or “us”) will collect, use and share information in connection with your use of this website, all subdomains, and related services offered through this website (the “Website”). Your use of the Website requires that you agree to the terms in this Privacy Policy. Please read them carefully. If you do not wish to accept all the terms of this Privacy Policy, do not access or use the Website.
If you access or login to our Service using a third party Social Networking Service (“SNS”), such as Facebook, Twitter or Google+, you may be required to also read and accept the terms of service and privacy policy of that SNS.
We may collect both Personal and Non-Personal Information. Personal Information is defined as information about you that can be used to contact or identify you such as your name, e-mail address, home address, or telephone number. Personal Information does not include aggregate information, which is data we collect about the characteristics and activities of users of the Website, from which any Personal Information has been removed. Non-Personal Information does not identify you personally and can include age, gender and interests.
- Information About You Received From an SNS. We may allow you to access or login to the Website using a SNS, in which case you are allowing WERQ Fitness access to the Personal Information you have provided to that SNS. The information shared varies from Service to Service and is also controlled by the privacy settings you established at the SNS. The information we collect when you access the Service on an SNS may include: your first and last name, your user ID, the user IDs of your friends, your profile picture, your locale, city, state and country, your e-mail address, your gender and your birthdate. By using the Service through an SNS, you are authorizing WERQ Fitness to collect, store, and use in accordance with this Privacy Policy any and all information that you agreed the SNS could provide to WERQ Fitness.
- Information You Give To Us Directly. When you interact with the Website (whether or not on an SNS), we may collect, store, and use information from you directly that you voluntarily provide to us. For example, we may allow you to register with us by creating an account or profile within the Website, in which case you may be required to provide certain identifying information, such as your name, address, age, e-mail address, a password and other information that helps us confirm that it is you accessing your account. In addition, you may voluntarily submit personal information when you, for example, make a purchase, sign up for newsletters, send us feedback, or post on our Facebook fan page.
- Payment Information. Because we use a third-party payment service to process transactions on the Website (e.g., for purchases of merchandise), we generally do not collect sensitive payment information, such as your credit card number. We may, however, collect and use information related to your purchases and purchase history.
- Technical Usage Information and Cookies. Log Data and Mobile Devices. When you use the Website, our servers may record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website (“Log Data“). This Log Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type or the webpage you were visiting before you came to the Website, pages of the websites involved in the Website that you visit, the time spent on those pages, information you search for, access times and dates, and other information. If you access the Website from a mobile or other device, we may collect a unique device identifier assigned to that device or other transactional information for that device, such as your device type and operating system. Cookies and Local Storage. We may also use cookies and other tracking technologies (including but not limited to browser cookies, pixels, beacons, and Adobe flash technology), which are comprised of small bits of data that often include an anonymous unique identifier. Websites send this data to your browser when you first request a web page and then store the data on your computer so the website can access information when you make subsequent requests for pages from that Website. These technologies may be used to collect and store information about your usage of Website, such as pages you have visited and search queries you have run. Information contained in a cookie may also be linked to your Personal Information for purposes such as improving the quality of the Website and making the Website easier to use. You can disable cookies at any time, although, if you do so, you may not be able to access or use the Website or certain of its features.
- Customer Support Information. When you ask for assistance from our customer support team, we will collect and store the contact information you provide (generally your name and e-mail address), information about your game play or activity on the Website, and your user ID number. We will also store and use the correspondence and any information contained within.
- HOW WE USE AND SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
WERQ Fitness does not share your Personal Information with third parties except as approved by you or as described below.
- To Provide and Manage the Website. We use the information we collect from and about users to provide the Website and features to you, including to analyze and improve those services and features; to personalize your experience by delivering relevant content, advertising, and marketing messages; to process payments and orders; to allow you to comment on the Website; and to provide you with customer support and respond to inquiries. We may combine Personal Information with Non-Personal Information and use this combination in an effort to improve your experience or to aggregate it with information collected from other users to improve or analyze our Website. This privacy policy in no way limits or restricts our collection of aggregate information or of Non-Personal Information.
- To Allow Third-Parties to Assist Us In Providing and Managing the Website. We may make your non-public Personal Information available to certain third party service providers, such as contractors, agents, or sponsors, who help us manage or provide the Website by, for example: developing or supporting products and features; conducting e-mail marketing on our behalf; managing newsletters; web-hosting; processing payments; administering message boards; fulfilling orders; or processing data and statistics. These outside service providers are required to protect non-public Personal Information entrusted to them and not use it for any other purpose than the specific services they are providing to WERQ Fitness.
- To Contact You. We are committed to providing you with the best possible user experience and, therefore, one of the key uses of your personal information is to communicate with you. We may periodically contact you in connection with customer support inquiries and to alert you as to the status of your account. We may also contact you by e-mail for research purposes so that we can continually improve and update the Website based on your input. We may also send promotional e-mail directly or in partnership with parties other than WERQ Fitness to provide you with special offers and other services. If you want to stop receiving promotional materials from WERQ Fitness or its partners, follow the unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each party’s e-mail. There are certain service notification e-mails that you may not opt-out of as long as you are registered with the Website, such as notifications of changes to the Website or policies.
- To Deliver Relevant Advertising. We may use the information you provide to us, and information we collect about your use of the Website through cookies and other technologies, to assist us in delivering you relevant ads when you use the Website. We may work with third party advertising networks and advertisers who help deliver these ads to you. We do not share your non-public Personal Information with these third parties, but we may share anonymized or aggregated information with them to improve the relevancy of the ads you see on the Website. As noted above, these third party advertising networks and advertisers may also use cookies and similar technologies to collect and track Non-Personal Information such as demographic information, aggregated information, and Internet activity to assist them in delivering advertising that is more relevant to your interests.
- Legal Matters; Safety. We may, without your consent, access and disclose your information, any communications sent or received by you, and any other information that we may have about you as may be permitted or required by law (including, but not limited to, court order or subpoena), or to prevent or investigate suspected fraud, violations of our Terms of Use or this Privacy Policy, or activity that appears to us to be illegal or may expose us to legal liability.
- Sale or Transfer of Assets. If WERQ Fitness sells all or part of its business or makes a sale or transfer of its assets or is otherwise involved in a merger or transfer of all or a material part of its business, WERQ Fitness may transfer your Personal Information to the party or parties involved in the transaction as part of that transaction.
- POLICY REGARDING CHILDREN
The Website is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 13 years of age. In the event that we learn that we have inadvertently gathered personal information from children under the age of 14, we will take reasonable measures to promptly erase such information from our records.
- USER CONTROL AND RETENTION OF DATA
To the extent the Website allows you to create an account with us directly (not through an SNS), you may access and change your account information by visiting your account page and making the desired changes. To manage the information we receive about you from an SNS, you will need to follow the instructions at that service for updating your information and changing your privacy settings. Once we receive your information from an SNS, that information may be stored and used by us in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We may retain information collected from you, including Personal Information, for a reasonable period of time after you have ceased using the Website or removed your account, for the purpose of providing and improving the Website, for analytical and recordkeeping purposes and integrity, as well as to prevent fraud, resolve disputes, enforce our Terms or other policies, take actions we deem necessary due to technical and legal requirements and constraints related to the security, integrity and operation of the Website. In addition, if certain information has already been provided to third parties as described in this Privacy Policy, retention of that information will be subject to those third parties’ policies.
The Website may contain links to or from the websites of companies other than WERQ Fitness. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites. If you have any questions about how these other websites use your information, you should review their policies and contact them directly.
- CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
Under California law, California residents who have an established business relationship with us may choose to opt out of the disclosure of Personal Information about them to third parties for such third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Our policy is not to disclose Personal Information collected online to a third party for direct marketing purposes without your approval. If you choose to opt-out at any time after granting approval, please send an e-mail WERQ Fitness using the contact information below.
- CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT
WERQ Fitness reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify or revise this Privacy Policy at any time, and you agree to be bound by such modifications or revisions. Any such change or modification will be effective immediately or, where required by law, 30 days after their publication in connection with the Service. WERQ Fitness may notify you of any such changes by posting the notice of such changes on the WERQ Fitness website or sending notice via other means.
