Privacy Policy
Last updated August 18, 2011
This Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices
for the SharpSaverExperience.com website (collectively, the "Website" located at www.SharpSaverExperience.com).
Sharp Saver Experience, LLC, a Florida corporation, the provider of the Website
(referred to as "us" or "we"), is committed to protecting your privacy online.
Please read the following to learn what information we collect from you (the
"User" or the "End User") and how we use that information. If you have any
questions about our privacy policy, please email us.
PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY. BY
ACCESSING OR USING OUR WEBSITE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND,
AND AGREE TO BE BOUND TO ALL THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND OUR WEBSITE
TERMS OF USE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, EXIT THIS PAGE AND DO NOT
ACCESS OR USE THE WEBSITE.
1. Changes to Privacy Policy
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will
post those changes to this privacy statement, the home page, and other places
we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how
we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
We reserve the right to modify this privacy
statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material
changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of
notice on our home page.
2. Types of Information Collected
and Uses of Collected Information
We collect two types of information about our Website
Users: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable
Information.
Personally Identifiable Information. Personally Identifiable
Information is information that identifies a specific End User. When you engage
in certain activities on the Website, such as creating an account, ordering a
product or service from us or our partners, submitting content and/or posting
content in discussion forums, entering a contest or sweepstakes sponsored by us
or our partners, filling out a survey, posting a review, sending us or our
partners feedback, requesting information about our services, submitting an
affiliate agreement, applying for a job, posting a video or signing up for
special offers from third parties through the Website (collectively, "Identification
Activities"), we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself. It
is optional for you to engage in an Identification Activity. If you elect to
engage in an Identification Activity, however, we may ask you to provide us
with certain personal information about yourself, such as your first and last
name, mailing address (including zip code), email address, telephone number and
date of birth. When you order products or services, we may also ask you to
provide us with your credit card number, expiration date and authentication
codes or related information. Depending on the activity, some of the
information we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some is
identified as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory information for a
particular activity that requires it, you will not be permitted to engage in
that activity.
Tell-A-Friend/Buy it for a Friend. If you choose to use our
referral service or buy a deal for a friend, we will ask you for your friend's
name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email
with the gift you bought for them or inviting him or her to visit the site. SharpSaverExperience.com
stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email,
sending their gift, and tracking the success of our referral program.
Your friend may contact us at support@SharpSaverExperience.com.com
to request that we remove this information from our database.
We use Personally Identifiable Information to
provide products and services to you, administer sweepstakes and contests,
enhance the operation of the Website, improve our marketing and promotional
efforts, analyze Website use, improve our product and service offerings, and to
tailor your experience with third parties as provided in Item 3 of this Privacy
Policy. For example, if you send our customer service an email we may use your
comments and feedback to tell others about our services, and may post your
comment in our marketing materials or on our Website. Your comments may contain
personal information such as your name, we will obtain consent from you to post
your name along with your comment prior to posting your comment for public
view. In addition, if you use our Website to send information or a product to
another person, we may store your personal information. We may also use
Personally Identifiable Information to troubleshoot, resolve disputes,
accomplish administrative tasks, contact you, enforce our agreements with you,
including our Website Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy, comply with
applicable law, and cooperate with law enforcement activities.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Non-Personally Identifiable
Information is information that does not identify a specific End User. This
type of information may include things like the Uniform Resource Locator
("URL") of the website you visited before coming to our Website, the URL of the
website you visit after leaving our Website, the type of browser you are using
and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. We, and/or our authorized Third
Party Service Providers and Advertisers, may automatically collect this
information when you visit our Website through the use of electronic tools like
Cookies and Web beacons or Pixel tags, as described in Items 4 and 8 of this
Privacy Policy.
We use Non-Personally Identifiable Information to
troubleshoot, administer the Website, analyze trends, gather demographic
information, comply with applicable law, and cooperate with law enforcement
activities. We may also share this information with our authorized Third Party
Service Providers and Advertisers to measure the overall effectiveness of our
online advertising, content, and programming.
3. Release of Personally
Identifiable Information
We will not share, sell, rent, or trade your
Personally Identifiable Information with other parties except as provided
below:
We may share your information with SharpSaverExperience.com
Merchants. From time to time, we provide offers from particular merchants
(referred to as "SharpSaverExperience.com Merchants") who, as part of the offer,
request information on SharpSaverExperience.com customers who purchased the offer in
order to aid redemption. In those cases, we share some of your Personally
Identifiable Information with SharpSaverExperience.com Merchants. Sharing this
Information may allow a SharpSaverExperience.com Merchant to market directly to you
should they choose to do so. However, we will only share Personally
Identifiable Information with a SharpSaverExperience.com Merchant if you engage in an
Identification Activity, and then only to the SharpSaverExperience.com Merchant
involved in that Identification Activity. We specifically disclaim any
responsibility or liability for the actions of such SharpSaverExperience.com Merchant.
While we inform them that they are only permitted to communicate with you for
the purposes of the specific promotion with SharpSaverExperience.com, we do not have
any responsibility for the actions of the SharpSaverExperience.com Merchant, and the
actions of the SharpSaverExperience.com Merchant are not in our control.
We may share your information with Authorized Third
Party Service Providers. We provide services and products through third parties. These "Third
Party Service Providers" perform functions on our behalf, like sending out and
distributing our administrative and promotional emails. We may share your
Personally Identifiable Information with such Service Providers to fulfill
orders, deliver packages, send postal or email, administer contests or
sweepstakes, remove repetitive information on customer lists, analyze data, provide
marketing assistance, provide search results and links, process credit card
payments, operate the Website, troubleshoot, and provide customer service. We
may also collect personal information from individuals and companies
("Affiliates") with whom we have business relationships and may share your
information with Service Providers to accomplish our administrative tasks. For
example, when you order a service, we release your credit card information to
the card-issuing bank to confirm payment for the service and, if applicable,
release your address to the delivery service to deliver the service. Likewise,
we may release an Affiliate's information to our bank to send out a payment. We
encourage SharpSaverExperience.com Merchants and Third Party Service Providers to
adopt and post privacy policies. However, the use of your Personally
Identifiable Information by such parties is governed by the privacy policies of
such parties and is not subject to our control.
We may remarket your information. Remarketing is a way for us to
connect with users, based upon your past interactions with the SharpSaverExperience.com
website. Third-party marketing vendors may be hired by SharpSaverExperience.com to
perform remarketing services. As a result, third-party vendors, including
Google, may show SharpSaverExperience.com ads on sites on the internet. Third-party
vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior
visits to SharpSaverExperience.com's website. Users may opt
out of Google's use of cookies by visiting the Google advertising opt-out page
at http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html. This information is used only for
remarketing purposes and will not be used by them for any other purpose.
We may share your information in a Business
Transfer. As with any other business, we could merge with, or be acquired by
another company. If this occurs, the successor company would acquire the
information we maintain, including Personally Identifiable Information.
However, Personally Identifiable Information would remain subject to this
Privacy Policy.
We may share your information for our Protection
and the Protection of Others. We reserve the right to disclose your personally
identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure
is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding,
court order, or legal process served on our Website; enforce or apply this
Privacy Policy, our Website Terms of Use or other agreements; or protect the
rights, property or safety of the Website, its Users or others.
4. Release of Non-Personally
Identifiable Information
We may disclose or share Non-Personally
Identifiable Information with Partners, Affiliates and Advertisers. For
example, we may share aggregated demographic information (which does not
include any Personally Identifiable Information) with "Third Party Advertisers"
or "Third Party Advertising Companies" and other parties as provided below:
We use Third Party Advertising Companies to serve
ads when you visit our Website. These companies may use Non-Personally
Identifiable Information about your visits to this and other websites in order
to provide, through the use of network tags, advertisements about goods and
services that may be of interest to you. Some of these Third Party Advertising
Companies may be advertising networks that are members of the Network
Advertising Initiative ("NAI"). If you would like more information about any
NAI member company, or you would like to opt-out of targeted advertising from
any NAI member company, click here: http://www.networkadvertising.org/consumer/opt_out.asp
We also use Third Party Service Providers to track
and analyze Non-Personally Identifiable usage and volume statistical
information from our Users to administer our Website and constantly improve its
quality. We may also publish this information for promotional purposes or as a
representative audience for Advertisers. Please note that this is not
Personally Identifiable Information, only general summaries of the activities
of our Users. Such data is collected on our behalf, and is owned and used by
us.
5. Updating and Correcting
Information
We believe that you should have the ability to
access and edit the Personally Identifiable Information you provide us. You may
change any of your Personally Identifiable Information by logging into your
account and accessing the "my account" section of the site, sending
us an email at support@SharpSaverExperience.com.com or writing to us at 123 Street Address here Coral Springs, FL 33071. Please indicate your name, address and
email address, and what information you would like to update when you contact
us.
We encourage you to promptly update your Personally
Identifiable Information if it changes. You may ask to have the information on
your account deleted or removed; however, because we keep track of past
transactions, you cannot delete information associated with past transactions
on the Website. In addition, in may be impossible for us to completely delete
all of your information because we periodically backup information.
If you choose to store credit card information on
the site, this is stored on a secure page and you may delete your credit card
information at any time by going to the "my account" section of your
profile.
6. User Choices on Collection and
Use of Information
As discussed above, you can always choose not to
provide information, although it may be required to engage in a certain
activity on the Website.
As a condition of purchase of our products and
services, we will send you Administrative and Promotional emails. We will send
you information regarding your account activity and purchases as well as
updates about our products and promotional offers. You cannot opt-out of
Administrative Emails. "Administrative Emails" relate to a User's activity on
the Website, and include emails regarding a particular User's account, requests
or inquiries, and purchases of products and services. In contrast to
Administrative Emails, however, you do have a choice with respect to
Promotional Emails. Promotional Emails advertise our products and services,
including exclusive sales and other offers, and/or the products and services of
our Advertisers and Affiliates. If you do not want to receive Promotional
Emails from us, you may elect to opt-out of receiving Promotional Emails at any
time after registering by e-mailing us at support@SharpSaverExperience.com.com, by
writing to us at the address contained herein, or by hitting the "unsubscribe"
button at the bottom of any of our e-mails. When contacting us, please indicate
your name, address, email address, and what Promotional Emails you do not want
to receive.
7. Security of Information
We take security seriously and take numerous
precautions to protect the security of Personally Identifiable Information. You
can access your Personally Identifiable Information on our Website through a
password and your email address. This password is encrypted. We recommend that
you do not share your password with anyone. In addition, your Personally
Identifiable Information resides on a secure server that only selected personnel
and contractors have access to. We encrypt certain sensitive information (such
as credit card information) using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to
ensure that your Personally Identifiable Information is safe as it is
transmitted to us.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the
Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a
result, while we employ commercially reasonable security measures to protect
data and seek to partner with companies which do the same, we cannot guarantee
the security of any information transmitted to or from the Website, and are not
responsible for the actions of any third parties that may receive any such
information.
8. Data Tracking
Cookies. To facilitate and customize your experience with
the Website, we store cookies on your computer. A cookie is a small text file
that is stored on a User's computer for record-keeping purposes which contains
information about that User. We use cookies to save you time while using the
Website, remind us who you are, and track and target User interests in order to
provide a customized experience. Cookies also allow us to collect
Non-Personally Identifiable Information from you, like which pages you visited
and what links you clicked on. Use of this information helps us to create a
more user-friendly experience for all visitors. In addition, we may use Third
Party Advertising Companies to display advertisements on our Website. As part
of their service, they may place separate cookies on your computer. We have no
access to or control over these cookies. This Privacy Policy covers the use of
cookies by our Website only and does not cover the use of cookies by any
Advertiser. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you may be able to
modify your browser settings to decline cookies. Please note that if you
decline or delete these cookies, some parts of the Website may not work
properly.
Other Tracking Devices. We may use other industry
standard technologies like pixel tags and web beacons to track your use of our
Website pages and promotions, or we may allow our Third Party Service Providers
to use these devices on our behalf. Pixel tags and web beacons are tiny graphic
images placed on certain pages on our Website, or in our emails that allow us
to determine whether you have performed a specific action. When you access
these pages or open or click an email, pixel tags and web beacons generate a
Non-Personally Identifiable notice of that action. Pixel tags allow us to
measure and improve our understanding of visitor traffic and behavior on our
Website, as well as give us a way to measure our promotions and performance. We
may also utilize pixel tags and web beacons provided by our Affiliates and/or
Marketing Partners for the same purposes.
9. Privacy Policies of Third
Party Websites
This Privacy Policy only addresses the use and
disclosure of information we collect from you on www.SharpSaverExperience.com.com.
Other websites that may be accessible through this Website have their own
privacy policies and data collection, use and disclosure practices. If you link
to any such website, we urge you review the website's privacy policy. We are
not responsible for the policies or practices of third parties.
10. Miscellaneous Privacy Issues
Children. Minors under the age of 18 may not use the
Website. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the
age of 18, and no part of the Website is designed to attract anyone under the
age of 18. SharpSaverExperience.com does not sell products for purchase by children.
In certain instances, we sell children's products for purchase by adults.
Public Areas. We may provide areas on our Website where you can
publicly post information about yourself, can communicate with others such as
discussion boards or blogs, or can review products, restaurants, and submit
media content. This information may be accessible by other consumers and
companies and may appear on other websites or web searches, and therefore this
information could be read, collected, and used by others. For example, if you
post your email address along with a public restaurant review, you may receive
unsolicited messages. We have no control over who reads your postings or what
other users may do with the information you voluntarily post, so please use
caution when posting any personal information. We do obtain consent from our
users to post their name along with their reviews.

allows users to access Facebook Connect to interact
with friends and to share on Facebook through Wall

addresses match. If the email addresses don't match, we ask you if you want to
merge them and you must enter your SharpSaverExperience.com password to validate that
they control that account. If you are already logged into SharpSaverExperience.com but
not logged into Facebook, when you click on
"Connect with Facebook" you will be
prompted to enter your Facebook credentials or to
"Sign up for Facebook." By proceeding you
are allowing the SharpSaverExperience.com Site to access your information and you are
agreeing to the Facebook Terms of Use in your use of SharpSaverExperience.com
Sites.
Conversely, if you are not currently registered as
a SharpSaverExperience.com user and you click on "Sign in Using Facebook," you will first be asked to enter your Facebook credentials and then be given the option to

You have the option to disable Facebook Connect at
any time by logging into "My Profile" and clicking on "My Facebook Profile." Further, you can edit privacy
settings for the reviews that appear on Facebook or
disconnect this service by visiting the Facebook Application Settings page.
