BRINGING YOUR TECH TO LIFE
PRIVACY POLICY
Preface
This privacy policy applies to the Services operated by Bringing Your Tech to Life.
The Policy is designed to tell you how we collect and use personally identifying information so you can make an informed decision about using our Services. Please read this statement before using our Services or submitting any PII to us. By using our Services, you represent that you are 13 years old or older and you consent to the information collection and use practices described herein.
We reserve the right to change the provisions of this privacy policy at any time by posting a revised privacy policy on Our Site and indicating on the privacy policy the date it was last updated. Your use of the Service following the posting of such changes or revised statement shall constitute your acceptance of any such changes. We encourage you to review our privacy policy whenever you use our Service to determine if any changes have been made and to make sure that you understand how any PII you provide will be used.
What is “PII”?
As used herein, the term "PII" generally means information that specifically identifies an individual. This may include a user's name, physical address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card or other account number or geophysical location.
PII does not include "aggregate" information, which is data we collect about the use of the Service or categories of Service users, from which any PII has been removed. For example, information that forty-six percent of the Service's registered users identify themselves as male, is aggregate information. We collect aggregate data for a number of purposes, including to help us understand trends and user needs. This policy in no way limits or restricts our collection of aggregate information.
What PII do we collect?
We do not collect any PII from mere visitors to our website. Your email address and other PII may be collected when you submit a ticket or send us an e-mail. If you subscribe to our Services or Blog we will collect your name, physical address, telephone number, and e-mail address.
What other information do we collect?
When you visit our Site, some information is also automatically collected through the use of log files, such as your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address, your computer's operating system, the browser type, the address of a referring web Service and your activity on the Service. We use this information for purposes such as analyzing trends, administering the Service, improving customer service, diagnosing problems with our servers, tracking user movement, and gathering broad demographic information for aggregate use.
We may also automatically collect certain information through the use of "cookies." Cookies are small data files that are stored on a user's hard drive at the request of a Web Service to enable the Service to recognize users who have previously visited them and retain certain information such as customer preferences and history. If we combine cookies with or link them to any of the PII, we would treat this information as PII. If you wish to block, erase, or be warned of cookies, please refer to your browser instructions or help screen to learn about these functions. However, if your browser is set not to accept cookies or if a user rejects a cookie, you will not be able to sign in to your Bringing Your Tech to Life account and will not be able to access certain Service features or Services.
We may also use third parties to provide certain functionalities or to collect, track and analyze non-personally identifiable usage and statistical information from users, such as the user's browser type, operating system, browsing behavior and demographic information. These third parties may collect PII from you in connection with the Services they provide and may place cookies, web beacons or other devices on your computer to collect nonpersonal information which may be used, among other things, to deliver advertising targeted to your interests and to better understand the usage and visitation of our Service and the other Services tracked by these third parties. We are not responsible for, and do not control, any actions or policies of any third party service providers.
Usage and disclosure
We do not sell information to third parties. Bringing Your Tech to Life only uses your PII to send you the communications noted below and as necessary to provide the Services, as described below.
PII may be used in one or more of the following ways:
-
To publicly display information in a manner selected by our customers to their customers.

To register a customer and process payments. Credit card processing is performed by a PCI compliant third party processor and such information is not processed or retained by Bringing Your Tech to Life.

To send periodic emails: The email address you provide may be used to send you information and updates pertaining to the Services, and, if you do not “opt out”, to send you occasional company news, updates, or related product or service information.
We do not sell, share, or rent any PII to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this Policy without first obtaining your consent, although we may provide aggregate information or other nonpersonal information to third parties without your authorization. We may share your contact information with third parties if you have indicated to us that you wish to receive information from such parties. In the event that we engage or partner with third party vendors, consultants or other service providers in connection with the operation of our business ("Service Providers"), we may share PII with such Service Providers who need access to such information to carry out their work for us. You should also note that information that you provide to us for posting to the Service will be posted for display in the manner you select. Your posting of such information to our Service constitutes your consent to display such information in such manner.

Please be aware that although we may participate in or utilize such other Services, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other Services. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Service and to read the privacy policies of any Web Service that collects personally identifiable information.

Our Services use Google Analytics to help analyze how users use the Services. The tool uses "cookies," which are text files placed on mobile device, to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Services (including IP address) is transmitted to Google. This information is then used to evaluate visitors' use of the Services and to compile statistical reports for Bringing Your Tech to Life.
