In exchange for your trust, you expect and deserve our commitment to treat your information with respect and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Under no circumstances will Company sell or share any personal information about you collected through the Services to or with any person or organization except (i) as authorized by you, (ii) as described in the relevant portion of Services, and/or any Company Terms of Use or similar agreement between Company and you or your company, (iii) in connection with providing various products and/or services to you, (iv) to third parties on an aggregated, non-identifiable basis, (v) as may be required by law or court order, or (vi) as otherwise set forth herein (collectively, the "Permitted Uses").

The Privacy Policy below describes the standards we adhere to in handling information about you and any personal information you submit through the Services.

  4. Altering the information you submit through the Services

1. Who We Are. Company makes the Services available for the purposes of providing information regarding Company’s software and business.

In addition, when you use or access the Services, Company may receive and record information on our server logs from your computer or mobile platform, which may include your location. We do not sell or share any personal information about you to or with any person or organization except for the Permitted Uses. In addition, and not in limitation of the foregoing and subject to restrictions imposed under applicable law, information you enter through the Services may be shared with third-party service providers with which Company has entered into a business relationship in order to make the Services available. In addition, Company may sell or disclose information gathered within the Services to third parties on an aggregated, non-identifiable basis.

(a) Information we receive from you.

  1. “Personal Information” is information which may include, without limitation, your name, company, title, location, e-mail address and possibly other information that, when taken together, can uniquely identify you.

This collective information constitutes Non-Personal Information.

  3. “Public Content” is information that you contribute through the Services that is intended for public consumption, including, without limitation, photos, comments and account profile.

Some portions of the Services may be offered in conjunction with partner companies, affiliates or other companies or websites with which we work. In order for us make these features available within the Services, it may be necessary for us to share your personal information with one of such entities. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of making such features available through the Services. If you do not want your data to be shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer by not using that particular feature.

We may automatically collect certain types of usage information when you visit our Website or use our Services. For instance, when you visit our Website, we may send one or more cookies — a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters used by many websites — to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser and lets us help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the site. A cookie may also convey information to us about how you use the Service (e.g., the pages you view, the links you click, how frequently you access the Service, and other actions you take on the Service), and allow us to track your usage of the Service over time.

We may employ clear gifs (also known as web beacons) which are used to anonymously track the online usage patterns of our users. In addition, we may also use clear gifs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. The information allows for more accurate reporting and improvement of the Service. We may also collect analytics data, or use third-party analytics tools, to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Service. These tools collect information sent by your browser or mobile device, including the pages you visit, your use of third-party applications and other information that assists us in analyzing and improving the Service. If you would prefer not to accept cookies, most browsers will allow you to: (i) change your browser settings to notify you when you receive a cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it; (ii) disable existing cookies; or (iii) set your browser to automatically reject any cookies. You may also set your email options to prevent the automatic downloading of images that may contain technologies that would allow us to know whether you have accessed our email and performed certain functions with it.

Security


Although Company has taken reasonable measures to ensure that your personal information is delivered and disclosed securely, Company cannot and does not guarantee that the personal information you provide will not be intercepted by others and decrypted.

Storage and Processing

Your information collected through the Service may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which the Company or its subsidiaries, affiliates or service providers maintain facilities. If you are located in the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, please note that we may transfer information, including personal information, to a country and jurisdiction that does not have the same data protection laws as your jurisdiction, and you consent to the transfer of information to the U.S. or any other country in which the Company or its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates or service providers maintain facilities and the use and disclosure of information about you as described in this Privacy Policy.

Changes to Privacy Policy

If we make a change to our Privacy Policy in the future that will affect how we treat your information, we will post such change within the Services, and such change will be deemed to be effective 2 days from the date of such posting. In that case, your ability to opt out of the new policy will be determined by applicable laws.

Business Transfer

We may, in the future, sell or otherwise transfer some or all of our assets or equity to a third party. Your personally identifiable information and other information we obtain from you via the Website or Services may be disclosed to any potential or actual third-party purchasers of such assets or equity and may be among the assets transferred.

If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not provide us with any information and do not use the Services. By using the Services and/or voluntarily providing information which will pass through the Website or Services, you consent to our collection and use of the information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Miscellaneous

a. Do Not Track. The Company does not respond to Do Not Track signals and/or other mechanisms that provide consumer choice about tracking.

b. CalOPPA. CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following: (i) users can visit our site anonymously; (ii) once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page or as a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our Website; (iii) our Privacy Policy link includes the word 'Privacy' and can easily be found on the page specified above; (iv) you will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes on our Privacy Policy Page; and (v) you can change your personal information by emailing us.

This section provides specific information for California consumers, as required under California privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended, and its implementing regulations (“CCPA”). The CCPA requires that we provide certain information to California consumers about how we handle their personal information (“PI”), and their rights in that regard. Under the CCPA, “PI” is any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer, device or household, including the categories identified in the chart below to the extent they identify, relate to, describe, are capable of being associated with, or could be reasonably linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer, device or household, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., publicly available information is not PI).

For more details about the personal information we have collected over the last 12 months, including the categories of sources, please see the Information We Collect and Cookies and Tracking Technology sections above. We collect this information for the business and commercial purposes described in the How Your Information is Used and Cookies and Tracking Technology sections above. We share this information with the categories of third parties described in the above-referenced sections. We do not sell (as such term is defined in the CCPA) the personal information we collect (and will not sell it without providing a right to opt out). Please note that we may use third-party cookies for our advertising purposes as further described in our Cookies and Tracking Technology section above.

Subject to certain limitations, the CCPA provides California consumers the right to request to know more details about the categories or specific pieces of personal information we collect (including how we use and disclose this information), to delete their personal information, to opt out of any “sales” that may be occurring, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

California consumers may make a request pursuant to their rights under the CCPA by contacting us at support@bravotran.com. We will verify your request using the information associated with your account, including email address. Government identification may be required. Consumers can also designate an authorized agent to exercise these rights on their behalf.

c. Nevada Consumers. Although we do not “sell” “covered information” of Nevada “consumers” as those terms are defined by Chapter 603A of the Nevada Revised Statutes, if you are a Nevada consumer, please contact us at support@bravotran.com and provide an e-mail address for us to provide you notice in the event we should do so in the future, at which point you will have an opportunity to be verified and exercise your opt-out rights under that law. Contact us in the same manner to update your contact e-mail address for notices. Changing your e-mail elsewhere (e.g., informational requests, account information, etc.) will not update your Nevada notice contact information. It is your responsibility to keep your notice contact information current.

Links

The Website and/or mobile application may contain links to other websites or applications that are owned and operated by third parties that are not affiliated with us. When you use those links, you leave the Website and we are unable to control how the owners of the websites or applications you link to handle any information they gather about you, including their privacy practices. This Privacy Policy applies only to our Services and does not govern activities on linked websites or applications.

PLEASE PRINT AND RETAIN A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR YOUR RECORDS.
