If you register your Website account using your Facebook account, we also collect your Facebook user name and email address to authenticate your account.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

As is true of most internet sites, we may use identifiers, cookies and other tracking technologies to automatically gather information about Website users’ web session such as their IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, and operating system to facilitate their use of the Website and their preferences and profile information.  The information enables us to link such information to the Website users’ Proximilar accounts and provides verification of their identifying information and enables us to administer their Proximilar accounts, provide them with our information service and to process and manage their subscriptions. Cookies and other tracking technologies are also used to collect general usage and volume statistical information that does not include personal information.

Website Analytics

We use third party website analytic service, including Google Analytics, to gather information about how Website users use our Website, and to facilitate Website users use of the Website. For example, we will know how many users access a specific page and which links they clicked on.

Web Beacons

Certain of our emails may contain electronic images known as Web beacons (sometimes called single-pixel gifs) that are set by our third party service providers. Web beacons are used along with cookies enabling us to associate your responses to your Website account and/or compile aggregated statistics to analyze how our email campaigns are received by their recipients.

Pixels

The Website may contain Proximilar and/or third party advertisement service provider tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is an HTML code snippet which is loaded when a user visits a website or opens an email. These pixels are used to track user behavior and enable us to associate responses to our emails and digital advertisements placed by us or such service providers on third party websites with you and your Website account and/or compile aggregated statistics to analyze the effectiveness of our digital advertisement campaigns. These third parties include Facebook. In some cases, we provide Website users email addresses to the service providers to assist in this process.  To learn about their treatment of your personal information and the options they make available for managing such treatment, in the case of Facebook, see https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy https://www.facebook.com/settings.

We may disclose your personal information to third-party service providers who perform service on our behalf. For example, we may hire other companies to handle the processing of payments, to provide data storage, processing or management, to host websites or computer servers, to assist in marketing, to conduct audits, etc. Those third-party service providers (i) are permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to provide the service, (ii) are required by Proximilar to protect personal information to the same extent as Proximilar and as required by applicable law, including, if they process personal information of persons residing in California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), (iii) are permitted to use such personal information only for the purposes for which it is provided to them, and (iv) are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.

We may also disclose your personal information:

  • as required by law such as to comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process;
  • when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or comply with law, protect your safety or the safety of us or others, investigate fraud, defend ourselves from legal claims, or respond to a regulator request;
  • if Proximilar is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets; (In such event, you will be notified via email and/or a notice on our Website of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information);

Payment Gateways and Processors

We have arrangements with one or more payment processors under which they act as a payment gateway for our customers to finalize and pay for their subscription purchases. When you make a payment to us, you will provide your credit/debit card and/or financial institution account information directly to the payment gateway or processor through a secure API tunnel and is not accessible to or collected by us. The applicable payment gateway/processor’s privacy policy will apply to the information you provide to them.

We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any Internet site you visit.

Security

The security of your personal information is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.
