SquaredOut, Inc. ("SquaredOut") is committed to protecting the privacy of our customers' personal information. This statement applies with respect to the information that we collect from the SQUAREDOUT website, located at squaredout.com ("Website") and the services provided by us through the Website, any mobile software application (including tablet applications) we make available from the Website or via any third party platform ("Software"), as well as all related web sites, networks, embeddable widgets, downloadable software and other services provided by us (collectively, together with the Website and Software, the "Service"). This policy is incorporated into our Terms & Conditions located at www.SquaredOut.com/static/Terms.
Information Collected
When you visit the Website, we automatically collect information such as your IP address, cookie information, browser type, system type, the content and pages that you access on the Site, the dates and times you access the Site, and the "referring URL" (i.e., the page from which you navigated to the Website). Similarly, when you use the Services from a mobile device, we automatically collect a variety of information about your mobile device and your use of the Services, such as your IP address, Device ID (as defined below), device type and operating system, browser type, as well as the dates and times you access or use the Services, and actions you engage in using the. This information is gathered for all users. You may also permit us to collect information regarding your location when using the Service.
We may collect this information passively using technologies such as standard server logs, cookies, and clear GIFs (also known as "web beacons"). If we link or associate any information gathered through passive means with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information under this policy. Otherwise, we use and disclose information collected by passive means in aggregate form or otherwise in a non-personally identifiable form.
We may also collect device information that uniquely identifies individual mobile devices ("Device ID") using the Services. We use the Device ID to authenticate a user session and for other purposes described in the "Use of Information" section below in this policy. This Device ID functions similarly to a persistent cookie to make it possible to authenticate a user without the need for a password. You can disassociate a Device ID from a user account at any time by emailing us at [email protected]. If you dissociate a Device ID from a user account, you may no longer be able to use certain features of the Services.
We do not collect any personally identifiable information about you unless you voluntarily submit such information to us, by, for example, filling out a survey or registration form. The types of information that may be requested include your name, address, e-mail address, and telephone number.
Use of Information
In general, we will only use the information you provide to us for the purpose for which such information was provided. We may also use this information to deliver to you information about SquaredOut and promotional material from some of our partners, or to conduct trend analysis, pattern detection, and Website administration. Your information may also be used to contact you when necessary and may be shared with other companies that may want to contact you with offers consistent with your stated preferences. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings from SquaredOut and other entities by following the instructions set forth in the opt-out section below.
Non-personal demographic and profile data is used to tailor your experience of the Services, showing you content we think you might be interested in. This information may also be shared with advertisers on an aggregate non-personal basis.
We use your IP Address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Website.
When you view our Website, we may store some information on your computer. This information will be in the form of a "cookie" or similar file. Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive, not on our Website. Cookies do not spy on you or otherwise invade your privacy, and they cannot invade your hard drive and steal information. Rather, they help you navigate a Website as easily as possible. We use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests and to prevent you from reentering all your registration data at each connection.
Disclosure of Personal and Other Information
We may provide personal information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies and other trusted businesses or persons for the purpose of providing the Services (e.g., payment processing and transmission of communications) and for our other purposes described in this policy. We limit the personal information shared with these third parties to that which is necessary to carry out those functions and require that our partners respect and comply with applicable law as a condition of doing business with them. Except as described in this policy or otherwise specifically disclosed to you at the point of collection, we will not provide your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share personal information and other information with third parties (including regulatory or law enforcement authorities) in order to carry out a user's request or if we believe that doing so is legally required or is in our interest to protect our property or other legal rights (including, but not limited to, enforcement of our agreements), or the rights or property of others.
If you post any information to a public area of the Services, please be aware that it is no longer "personal information" for the purposes of this policy, and we or anyone else may use such information without restriction. If you provide access to personal or other information to a limited set of other users through any of our privacy controls or other settings, please understand that SquaredOut has no control over how others may collect, use or disclose such information.
Security
Our Website has industry standard security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. While there is no such thing as "perfect security," we will take all reasonable steps to protect your personal information.
Third-Party Connected Services
We may from time to time permit users with accounts on certain third-party services such as Facebook ("Third-Party Connected Services") to log in to such third-party services through our Services, and may offer you the ability to connect our Services to Third-Party Connected Services. If you connect to any of our Services through a Third-Party Connected Service, you may be able to send alerts, comments, and messages on such third-party services, and may publish some of your activities on our Services to the third-party service. In any request for authorization to connect, we may ask you for additional rights or permissions with respect to Third-Party Connected Services and information - including personal information - that we obtain from them.
Any personal information you provide on or to any Third-Party Connected Service is provided directly to such Third-Party Connected Service and is subject to that third party's policies governing privacy and security. We are not responsible for the sharing, posting, commenting, or other content and information-gathering practices on any Third-Party Connected Services. Please review their terms of service and privacy policies carefully before using any Third-Party Connected Services and connecting to our Services.
By connecting to any Third-Party Connected Services in connection with our Services, you permit us to access and use all information related to your account on the Third-Party Connected Service that may be accessible to us through the Third-Party Connected Service pursuant to this policy. For example, if you permit us to connect to your Facebook profile, we may collect information from your Facebook profile such as your name, email, gender, birthday, current city, profile picture URL, list of friends, and a device token that uniquely identifies your mobile device. To limit or control the information that is available to us through any such Third-Party Connected Service, or to disconnect any Third-Party Connected Service from our Services, you should check (and, if applicable, modify) the applicable settings on the Third-Party Connected Service.

The Services may contain links to other websites, products, or services that we do not own or operate. If you choose to visit or use any third-party products or services, please be aware that this policy will not apply to your activities or any information you disclose while using third-party products or services or otherwise interacting with third parties. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party websites and services. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies applicable to any website or service you visit other than the Services before providing any personal information on them.
Business transfers
Information about our users, including personal information, may be disclosed as part of any merger, acquisition, or sale of company assets, as well as in the unlikely event of an insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership in which personal information would be transferred as one of our business assets.
International visitors and customerss
The Services are hosted in the United States, and we provide the Services from the United States. If you use our Services from the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, please note that you are transferring your personal data to the United States. Also, we may transfer your data from the United States to other countries or regions in connection with storage and processing of data, fulfilling your requests, and operating the Services. The United States and other regions to which we may transfer your data do not have the same data protection laws as the European Union and some other regions. By providing your personal information, you consent to the transfer of your personal data to the United States and to other world regions and the use of your personal information in accordance with this policy.
Choice; Opt Out

Our Commitment to Children's Privacy
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. For that reason, we do not knowingly collect or maintain personal information from persons under 13 years of age on the Services, and no part of the Services is directed to persons under 13. If we learn that personal information of children under the age of 13 has been collected on the Services without verifiable parental consent, then we will take the appropriate steps to delete this information. If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child under the age of 13 has obtained an account for any of the Services or otherwise provided personal information to us, then you may alert us at [email protected] and request that we delete that child's personal information from our systems.
California Privacy Rights

Changes and Updates to this Policy
We may occasionally update this policy. When we do, we will also revise the "last updated" date at the beginning of the policy. Your continued use of the Services after a revised policy has become effective indicates that you have read, understood and agreed to the then-current version of the policy. If we change this Policy in a manner that is materially less restrictive of our use or disclosure of your personal information, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you of the change and to obtain your consent prior to applying the change to any personal information that we collected from you prior to the date the change becomes effective. For example, we may send a message to your email address, if we have one on file, message you through the Services, or generate a pop-up or similar notification when you access the Services for the first time after such material changes are made. Material changes to this policy will be effective upon the earlier of (i) your first use of any of the Services with actual knowledge of such change, or (ii) 30 days from providing you notice of such change as described in this section. We encourage you to periodically review this policy to stay informed about how we collect, use, and disclose information.
