Notice To California Residents – Your California Privacy Rights: Effective January 1, 2005, under California Civil Code Section 1798.83 (known as the “Shine the Light” law), if an individual who is a California resident has provided personal information to a business in connection with a business relationship that is primarily for personal, family, or household purposes, and if that business has within the immediately preceding calendar year disclosed such an individual’s personal information to a third-party and knows or should have known that such third-party used the information for its own direct marketing purposes, then that business is obligated to disclose in writing to such individual upon request, what personal information was shared and with whom it was shared. A business may comply with this law by: (i) having EITHER a published privacy policy of not sharing a customer’s personal information for third-parties’ direct marketing use unless the customer has first affirmatively opted in to such sharing OR a published privacy policy of not sharing a customer’s personal information for third-parties’ direct marketing use if the customer has opted out to prevent his/her personal information from being shared for direct marketing use; AND (ii) notifying the customer of his/her right to opt out and providing a cost-free means for the customer to exercise that right.
Any request for a disclosure required under this California law should be sent to us at the email or postal address specified in Section 10 (Contact Us) below. Please note that under this law, we are not required to respond to a customer’s request more than once in a calendar year, nor are we required to respond to any request that is not sent to the email or mailing address designated above.

1. What Information We May Collect

1.1 Personal Information: This refers to your personally identifiable information, including first and last name, telephone number, email address, mailing address, date/year of birth, and credit card or other payment account information. Many areas of the Site do not require registration and may be accessed by you without having to disclose any Personal Information. However, to the extent you voluntarily provide your Personal Information to us, we collect such information. For example, we collect Personal Information from you: (i) when you create an account on the Site; (ii) when you sign up for a promotion or event offered on the Site (each, a “Promotion/Event”); (iii) when you join our electronic mailing list; (iv) when you place an order or make a purchase on the Site (in such event, you will need to provide your credit card or other payment account information (“Payment Account Information”) in order for Client to process and fulfill your order or purchase); and/or (iv) when you submit a request or inquiry to us; each of the foregoing is referred to hereinafter as a “Transaction or Request.” Whether or not to disclose Personal Information is completely your choice. However, without your information, we will not be able to process your Transaction or Request.

NOTE: You must be at least 18 years old to create an account, to sign up for a Promotion/Event, or to place an order or make a purchase on the Site.

1.2 Aggregate and Anonymous Information: This refers to any information that does not identify you individually. For example, we may collect anonymous group data (demographics, media habits, interests and preferences, etc.) about our users and audiences. We also collect aggregate traffic data pertaining to the Site, such as: total page views in a given time period; total impressions per ad; average amount of time that visitors spend on the site each time they visit; average amount of time that visitors spend on each page of the site; percentage of visitors from a certain geographical area, etc. Moreover, we may combine user activity information (as described in Section 1.3 below) about you and other users of the Site to generate aggregate information that reflects activities, habits, preferences, interests, etc. about our users and audiences as a group. In addition, we may take Personal Information and make it non-personally identifiable, such as by aggregating your information with information about other users, or by removing personally-identifiable elements (such as names) so as to “anonymize” or “de-personalize” your information.

1.3 User Activity Information: This refers to information we may collect about user activities on the Site. For example, the Site servers may automatically collect and log “clickstream data” for all visitors to the Site, such as IP addresses (which are numerical numbers that are automatically assigned to users’ computers and mobile devices when they are surfing the Internet), page requests, pages visited, content viewed, clicks and search queries made, etc. The Site also uses cookies and/or similar devices to collect user activity information on the Site (see Section 6 below for more information).

To the extent we use user activity information in a manner that identifies a specific user individually (e.g., if we link or associate such information with name or address), it will be treated as “Personal Information.” Otherwise, user activity information will be treated as “Aggregate and Anonymous Information.”

2. How We May Use the Information

As a general matter, we use information collected from and/or about Users to improve the Site, to administer and maintain operations of the Site, and to administer and manage transactions and relationships with Users.

2.1 For Transaction/Customer Relation Purposes: If you provide Personal Information on the Site in connection with a Transaction or Request, we will use your information to process, administer, manage, and communicate with you regarding such Transaction or Request. For example: (i) if you create an account on the Site, we will use your information to set up, administer, service, and communicate with you regarding your account; (ii) if you sign up for a Promotion/Event on the Site, we will use your information to process, administer, and communicate with you regarding your participation in such Promotion/Event; (iii) if you join our electronic mailing list, we will use your information to send you our electronic communications, including our newsletters and our company announcements, alerts, notices and updates; (iv) if you place an order or make a purchase on the Site, Client will use your information to process and fulfill your order or purchase, to communicate with you regarding your purchase, and to provide customer service to you; please note that your Payment Account Information will only be used for processing your purchase transaction and will not be used or stored for any other purposes (except as expressly otherwise stated); and (v) if you submit a request or inquiry to us, we will use your information to respond to your request or inquiry. Also, if you provide your email address or mailing address to us, we may use such address to send you notices of a transactional, administrative or relationship nature or as required by law, such as notice of a material change in this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Use, notice of an actual or suspected security breach that affects your Personal Information stored by or for us, etc.

2.2 For Marketing Purposes: 17blue, LLC may use your information (except for Payment Account Information) to offer, market and advertise to you, on the Site and/or via email, postal mail, etc., products, services, and/or Promotions/Events that may be of interest to you.

NOTE: 17blue, LLC will not knowingly make any of your Personal Information available to non-affiliated third parties for their direct marketing uses, unless you have expressly requested this action (on the Site or otherwise).

2.3 Sharing with Service Providers: We may share your information (including Payment Account Information, if applicable) with third-party service providers and vendors (collectively “Service Providers”) who need to access your information in order to perform necessary services for us or the Site, including data processing and storage, data security, hosting, maintenance and technical support for the Site, and purchase and payment processing, order fulfillment, and other e-commerce related functions. We require that our Service Providers limit their use of User personal information solely to the purposes for which it was disclosed by us and that they maintain the confidentiality, security and integrity of such information and not make any further disclosure to others.

2.4 Disclosure Under Other Circumstances: We may disclose your information (including Payment Account Information, if applicable) to others if doing so is required by law or, in our good faith belief, is reasonably necessary to: (i) comply with legal process (including a court order or subpoena); (ii) cooperate with law enforcement; (iii) enforce this Privacy Policy and/or the Terms of Use; (iv) respond to an emergency; or (v) protect the rights, property or safety of 17blue, LLC , Users, and/or the public.

In addition, if 17blue, LLC is sold or transferred to, merged with, or acquired by a third party, your information may be transferred to such third party as part of the transaction and in order to continue services, in which event the privacy policy of such third party may govern further use and disclosure of your information.

2.5 Research Use: We may use and share Aggregate and Anonymous Information to conduct market research and analysis for ourselves and/or for business partners. Given the anonymous, non-personally identifiable nature of such information, there are no restrictions under this Privacy Policy on how we may use or disclose such information. For example, we may freely share such information with third parties who may use such data for their own marketing, advertising, research, or other business purposes. We may also freely share such information with our Service Providers in order for them to perform services to or for us.
