Embedded Scripts

We and our marketing partners, affiliates, analytics, and service providers may also employ software technology known as an Embedded Script. An Embedded Script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Service, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your computer or other device and is deactivated or deleted when you disconnect from the Service.

Information Received from Third Parties

We also are permitted by law to receive information about you from third parties. For example, we may supplement the information we collect with outside public records or third parties may provide information at your request (such as if you choose to sign in with a third-party service). If we combine the information we receive from others with information we collect through the Service, we will treat the combined information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Information Use and Sharing

How We Use Your Information: We may use your personally identifiable information: (a) to offer you information about our services or other information you have requested; (b) to track your compliance with the Terms of Use of any of our Sites; and/or (c) for validation, suppression, content improvement and feedback purposes.

Information Sharing and Disclosure: We may share information we have collected about you, including personally identifiable information, with our partners for purposes of offering you information you have requested about our services or other matters. Our policy is to permit these third-party service providers to obtain only the information they need to provide the services and to prohibit these providers from using information for any improper purpose. We also make efforts to require them to protect any personal information to the same extent that we do. We also may share your information as disclosed at the time you provide your information, with your consent, as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, or in the following circumstances:

  • We may provide such information to certain third-party administrative vendors for efficiency purposes in providing administrative or program management services in connection with any account or profile set up with us. Any third-party vendor so used has agreed to protect the confidentiality of information provided by us.
  • We reserve the right to share your personally identifiable information where required by law, or requested by a court of competent jurisdiction; where you are in violation of this Privacy Policy, the Terms and/or any other services agreement; in the case of a dispute; or where we determine, in our sole discretion, that such disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or a third party, or necessary to protect us from liability of any kind. The aforementioned includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection.
  • We may share your information in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock.

Subject to any mandatory obligations to delete data, your information may be retained by us and in our agent portal, server logs, databases and records indefinitely.

Third Party Links

This Site may contain links to third-party websites ("Third Party Websites"). Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of Third Party Websites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Site and to read the privacy policies of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by the Site.

Minors

We encourage parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to participate and monitor the interactive activities of their children. We will never knowingly collect any personal information about individuals under eighteen (18) years of age. If we obtain actual knowledge that we have collected personal information about an individual under eighteen (18) years of age, that information will be immediately deleted from our database.

Security

We take appropriate security measures (including physical, electronic, and procedural measures) to help safeguard your personal information from unauthorized access and disclosure. For example, with regard to internal operations of any Site or property owned by Torchlight, only authorized employees and authorized third party service providers are permitted to access personal information, and they may do so only for permitted business functions. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We may provide this information in a standardized format that is not specific to you. The designated e-mail address for these requests is privacy@blipmarketing.co. Please note that we are only required to respond to one request per customer each year, and we are not required to respond to requests made by means other than through this e-mail address or mailing address. Please also be aware that not all information sharing is covered by the California requirements and only information on covered sharing will be included in our response.
