Privacy Policy

LAST UPDATED: MARCH 1, 2020

READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE WEBSITE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND TO ALL THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, EXIT THIS PAGE AND DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE WEBSITE.

This privacy policy of Bids4Bargains.com (this "Privacy Policy") sets forth the information disclosure policies for the Bids4Bargains.com Internet website (the "Website"), and describes what information Townsquare Commerce, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Company", "us" or "we"), collects from you, the user of the Website ("you" or "End User").

Section I

Collection of Information

We collect two types of information from you: Non-personally Identifiable Information and Personally Identifiable Information.

1. Non-personally Identifiable Information. Non-personally Identifiable Information is information that does not specifically identify you. This information includes things like the Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") of the website you visited before coming to the Website, and the URL of the website you visit after leaving the Website. Through the use of electronic tools like Cookies and Web beacons, we, our advertisers and third-party service providers, may collect this information when you visit the Website.We use Non-Personally Identifiable Information to maintain and administer the Website, analyze trends, gather demographic information and comply with applicable law. We may share this information with others without notice to you or consent from you.
2. Personally Identifiable Information. Personally Identifiable Information is information that identifies, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you individually or your household. When you engage in certain Website activities, such as creating an account, ordering a product or service, submitting or posting content, entering a contest or sweepstakes, signing up for a special offer, completing a survey, sending feedback, requesting or submitting information, or applying for a job (collectively, "Identification Activities" or individually an "Identification Activity"), we may require that you provide us information about yourself. It is optional for you to engage in an Identification Activity. If, however, you choose to engage in an Identification Activity, we may require that you provide us certain personal information, such as your name, mailing address, email address, telephone number and/or date of birth. As described in Section III below, when you order products or services, we may require that you provide us with your credit card number, expiration date and authentication codes or related information; for direct payment card action, we receive your name, billing address, card number, expiration date and CVV number (“Credit Card Information”) via a secure web form and transmit such information by a secure protocol to our payment processing partner Chase Merchant Services. In doing so, we store only the last four digits of your credit card and we do not store your other Credit Card information locally. Depending on the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide is identified as required (mandatory) and some is identified as voluntary. If you do not provide the required information for a particular activity, you will not be permitted to engage in that activity. For example, the processing of IP addresses is a necessary part of providing access to the Website, so we cannot provide access to the Website without this information.

Section II

Use and Release of Non-Personally Identifiable Information

We may exploit, use and disclose your Non-Personally Identifiable Information without limitation of any kind.

Section III

Use and Release of Personally Identifiable Information

We use Personally Identifiable Information to improve the Website, including its operation and offerings, and our administration of the Website, including but not limited to troubleshooting, resolving disputes, accomplishing administrative tasks, contacting you, enforcing our agreements with you, and complying with applicable law and complying with law enforcement activities. We may, for example, (a) use any correspondence you send to us for training, marketing and/or promotional purposes, and (b) we may store and use information you provide us (of yourself or others) to deliver purchased goods or services. We will not share your Personally Identifiable Information with other parties except as provided below:

1. Affiliate Providers. We may provide products or services jointly with certain restaurants ("Participating Restaurants") and retail businesses ("Affiliated Businesses," and together with Participating Restaurants, "Affiliate Providers"). We may share your Personally Identifiable Information with Affiliate Providers to help them deliver to you purchased goods and services, provide you better service and measure our program's value. Sharing this information will allow an Affiliate Provider to market products and services directly to you, should they so choose. We will only share your Personally Identifiable Information with Affiliate Providers with which you are involved in an Identification Activity.
2. Service Providers. We may engage certain third party service providers (the "Service Providers") to help us administer the Website, and provide products and services. These Service Providers may act on our behalf. We may share your Personally Identifiable Information with the Service Providers to assist in the provision of our products and services. As an example, we will disclose your Credit Card Information, directly or indirectly, to the card-issuing bank to confirm payment for an ordered product or service and, if applicable, disclose your address to the delivery service to deliver the product or service.
3. Payment Processors. In some cases, we use Pay Pal as a third party for payment processing, which may vary depending on the Website that you visit and the service that you are purchasing. In these cases, we do not receive or store your credit card or bank account information, and we do not want you to send us your credit card or bank account information. Please review the terms of use and privacy policies of the third party payment processor prior to providing your information to them.
4. Business Transaction. If the Company merges with or is (or its assets are) acquired by another business (an "Acquiring Company"), the Acquiring Company would acquire the information we maintain, including Personally Identifiable Information.
5. Law; Safety. We may disclose Personally Identifiable Information when we believe, in our sole discretion, release is appropriate to comply with applicable law or a court order, to enforce or apply this Privacy Policy, or protect the rights, property, goodwill or safety of the Website, its users or others.

The use of your Personally Identifiable Information by Affiliate Providers, Service Providers or Acquiring Companies is governed by the privacy policies of such parties, if any, and is not subject to our control.

Section IV

Updating and Correcting Information

You may update your Personally Identifiable Information by sending us an email at support@bids4bargains.com or writing to us at our business address provided in Section IX below. Please indicate your name, mailing address and email address, and what information you would like to update when you contact us. Please update your Personally Identifiable Information if it changes. You may ask us to delete your Personally Identifiable Information from our system, and we will try to accommodate your request in accordance with applicable law, though some exceptions may apply. For example, if you make a purchaser using a credit card, we are required to store elements of the transaction data for twelve months from the date of purchase. See Section IX(4) of this Privacy Policy for more details.

Section V

Administrative and Promotional Communication

Your submission of information to the Company is optional, although we may require that you disclose certain information if you want to engage in certain Website activities. If you want to purchase products or services on the Website, we require your permission for us to send you Administrative Emails. You cannot opt-out of Administrative Emails. "Administrative Emails" relate to your Website activity, and include emails relating to your account, requests or inquiries and purchases of products and services. Unlike Administrative Emails, you must opt-in to receive Promotional Emails. "Promotional Emails" advertise our products and services, exclusive sales, special offers and/or the products and services of our advertisers and/or affiliates. If you do not want to receive Promotional Emails from us, after you have opted-in to receive these emails, you may elect to opt-out of receiving Promotional Emails at any time by sending an email to us at support@bids4bargains.com, by written request mailed to us at our business address provided in Section IX below, or by clicking the "unsubscribe" button at the bottom of any Promotional Email. When contacting us, please indicate your name, address, email address and what Promotional Emails you do not want to receive.

Section VI

We encrypt certain sensitive information using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to ensure that your Personally Identifiable Information is safe as it is transmitted to us.
We employ commercially reasonable security measures to protect Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information that you share with us and seek to partner with companies that do the same. Notwithstanding the forgoing, no website is one-hundred (100%) secure and transmitting information over the internet inherently possesses risk; therefore, we do not 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.
