OVERVIEW OF OUR PRIVACY POLICY
Your Agreement with RR
First, please be aware that this Policy constitutes part of a binding legal agreement between you, as a “User” who accesses or uses the Services, and RR. Before accessing or using the Services (defined below), you ("you," "User," or similar terms) should carefully review the terms and conditions of this Policy, as well as RR’s Terms of Use located at www.raiseright.com/about-us/terms-of-use, which are incorporated into any other agreement with RR by this reference. This Policy applies to your use of all RR-operated and controlled websites, including www.raiseright.com (collectively the “Sites”), the RaiseRight mobile application (the “App”), the RaiseRight browser extension (the "Extension"), and all online services controlled or provided by RR (collectively, together with the Sites and App, our “Services”).
By using the Services or accessing, installing, downloading, or using the App, Extension, or the Sites, you are indicating your acceptance of the full terms of our Policy and Terms of Use, and you consent to the collection, sharing, security, and uses of your information as described in this Policy.

This Policy explains the information we collect about you, how we use, share, and secure that information, and your choices about the collection and use of your information. This Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that we do not own or control or that do not have a current contractual relationship with RR.
Will The Terms Of This Policy Ever Change?
Yes. RR may modify our Policy at any time. We may contact you directly in the event of changes to this Policy, but since we are not always required to do so, you should periodically review the terms of our Policy to stay informed of any changes and ensure your continued agreement. Your use of the Services after the Last Updated date serves as your consent to these terms, as updated, and your permission to us to collect, use, and share your Personally Identifiable Information under the terms of such updated Privacy Policy.
Modifications to the Policy are effective upon our posting of the amended Policy. The terms of the current Policy supersede all previous notices or statements regarding our privacy practices and become the Policy terms and conditions that govern your use of the Services. You may determine the date the Policy was last amended by referring to the “Last Updated” date shown at the top of this Policy.
Who Is Eligible To Use The Services?
RR’s Services are intended for use by adults and are not directed to minors under the age of 18. RR does not knowingly collect Personally Identifiable Information from minors under the age of 18. If we learn that Personally Identifiable Information of a child under the age of 18 has been submitted via or appears on or within Services, RR will take all action necessary to comply with our responsibilities under applicable legal requirements, which may include deletion of any such information.

Please be aware that if you choose to withhold certain Personally Identifiable Information, RR may not be able to provide you with certain Services.
2. RR Account Information
RR may require you to register for an account in order to use certain Services (a “RR Account”).

We may share financial account and payment information collected about you with our third-party payment processing partners in connection with these actions.
4. Correspondence Information

We may directly send you marketing communications and materials by email, postal mail, and other channels to keep you informed of new products and promotions and to provide other information we think may be of interest to you.

6. Promotions, Sweepstakes, Surveys, & Contests Information
If you register for promotions or sweepstakes provided by RR or our partners, RR or our partners may send you emails or other correspondence regarding the contest for which you registered, and for other contests, promotions, and sweepstakes. From time to time RR may also request information from our users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is voluntary, and you, therefore, have a choice whether or not to disclose this information.
7. Public Sources & Other Public Information
RR may also collect information about you from other publicly available sources. For instance, we may receive information from third parties when we process payments for you or may obtain information about you from mailing or email list service providers. In addition, all information you make publicly available in any public or open forum, such as on a social network or another open Internet forum or website, will be considered public information for the purposes of this Policy and may be accessed and collected by RR and others without limitation.
8. Analytics & Aggregate Information
We may combine certain information collected from or about you and aggregate it with information collected from other users to analyze users’ use of the Services and improve the quality and value of the Services. We may also collect certain general, non-identifiable, or statistical information about you and your use of the Services through analytics services provided by companies like Google, Inc. and HubSpot (collectively, "Analytics"). Analytics services generally use cookies to help us analyze information about the Users of the Sites and how Users use the Sites. This may include, among other things, such information as (1) website traffic data detailing how many visitors access specific content within Services, (2) for how long you access certain content, and (3) hyperlinks you access via the Services. This data may include demographic, interest-based, and other information about you. Using Analytics, the Sites may collect data about you and your use of the Sites via advertising cookies and anonymous identifiers, in addition to data collected through standard Analytics implementation. We may also use Analytics to help us measure information from emails sent to our users, which helps us track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. We may share this aggregated, anonymized data stripped of all personally identifying characteristics with third parties. We may also use such combined information without aggregating it to serve you specifically, for instance, to deliver a product or service to you according to your preferences or restrictions. This information presents an overview of our users’ aggregated demographic, preference, and usage habits and allows us to improve our Services and to offer and optimize the provision of preference-based information, promotions, offers, or discounts based on user traffic and behavior.
The Analytics and related services utilized by the Sites may include Google Analytics Advertising Features, Google AdWords, Remarketing with Google Analytics, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, DoubleClick Platform integrations, Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting, and similar services offered by Google and its partners (the “Google Services”). By using the Sites, you consent to the processing of data about you by our Analytics partners consistent with their general practices and practices in relation to the Services. More information about how data is collected and processed in connection with the Google Analytics service may be available at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You may be able to opt out of the Google Services through Google Analytics’ available opt-outs at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/, through Ads Settings, Ad Settings for mobile apps, or other available means, including the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) consumer opt-out, which may be available at www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Other services may have similar opt-out procedures available through their websites. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your particular browser. Please note, however, that if you disable cookies or opt out of certain services, you may not be able to use the full functionality of the Sites.
Please note that Analytics generated about your use of the Services may be transmitted to and stored by Google and similar services. These services may use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Services, compiling reports on activity on the Services, and providing other services relating to the activity and usage of the Services. These services may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law or where such third parties process the information on behalf of the Services.
9. Cookies, Web Beacons, & Other Tracking Technologies
Like many other websites, software services, and mobile applications, RR may automatically collect certain information and data from your browser or device through the use of cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies. Through these technologies, we may collect information about your use of the Services and other online activities, including certain online activities, after you leave the Services.
“Cookies” are small pieces of data used by websites and software services to identify repeat users, facilitate the user's ongoing logins and access to a software service or website, and facilitate the use of the software service or website. Persistent cookies may remain on your device’s hard drive after you close your browser or device and may be used by your device on subsequent use of the Services. Persistent cookies can be removed by following the directions according to your particular device or web browser. Session cookies are temporary and disappear after you close your browser or device. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the Site may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled.
Web beacons, pixel tags, and clear GIFs (collectively, “Web Beacons”) are transparent pixel images embedded on web pages that are used in collecting information about website usage, email response, and tracking. Web Beacons are ordinarily not visible to users. Web Beacons allow us to count the number of users who have visited certain web pages, to deliver branded services, and to generate statistics about how the Services are used.
We may use cookies, log files, Web Beacons, Unique Identifiers, location data and clear GIFs information to: (1) provide and enhance the Services; (2) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Site; (3) provide custom, personalized content, correspondences, and information; (4) provide and monitor the effectiveness of the Services; (5) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, traffic, and demographic patterns; (6) diagnose or fix technology problems; (7) capture technical information about users’ use of the Services, such as: Internet domain names and host names, IP addresses, browser and operating system information, clickstream patterns, access information, user-agent, HTTP referrer, last URL requested by the user, client-side, and server-side clickstream; (8) help you efficiently access your information; (9) provide advertising to your browser or device; and (10) provide automatic updates related to the Services to you.
Third-party advertisers may also place or read cookies on your browser. Advertisements that appear in connection with the Services may be delivered (or “served”) directly to you by third-party advertisers. When advertisements are served directly by third-party advertisers, they may automatically receive your IP address and may also download cookies to your computer or use other technologies such as JavaScript and Web Beacons to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content for you. RR does not have access to or control of any cookies that may be placed by third-party advertisers. This Policy covers the use of cookies by RR and does not cover the use of cookies or other tracking technologies by any of its advertisers. You are responsible for consulting the Privacy Policies and Terms of Service for applicable third-party advertisers.
You have many choices with regard to the management of cookies on your devices. All major browsers now allow you to block or delete cookies from your system. We encourage you to learn more about your ability to manage cookies and web beacons by consulting the privacy features of your devices and browsers.
10. Unique Identifiers
When you use or access the Services, we may automatically access, collect, monitor, store on your device, and/or remotely store one or more Unique Identifiers, such as a universally unique identifier (“UUID”). These Unique Identifiers may be associated with your device, whether or not you establish an RR Account. Unique Identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your device that uniquely identify your device. A Unique Identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, in connection with the device's operating system or other software, or via data sent to the device by RR. A Unique Identifier may convey information to RR or our Service Provider about how you browse and use the Services and may help us or others provide reports or personalized content and advertisements. A Unique Identifier may remain persistently on your device, to help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the Services. Some features of the Services may not function properly if the use or availability of Unique Identifiers is impaired or disabled.
11. Log File Information
Log file information may be automatically reported by your browser or device each time you request to access the Services. When you use the Services, our servers may automatically record certain log file information, which may include your web request, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, unique device IDs, browser type, referring / exit pages and URLs, number of clicks and how you interact with links on the Services, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information. RR may link this log file to other information RR collects about you via the Services.
In addition, RR reserves the right to use log files, IP addresses, Cookies, Web Beacons, and other tracking technologies to identify a user when RR (1) feels it is necessary to enforce compliance with the RR Terms of Use; (2) to protect the Services and software, our customers or others; or (3) when RR believes in good faith that the law so requires.
12. Location Information
When you access the Services, including visiting the Sites or using any other website or mobile application software provided by RR within the Services, we may access, collect, monitor, and/or remotely store “location data,” which may include your address, zip code, GPS coordinates (e.g., latitude and/or longitude), or similar information regarding the location of you or your computer or another device (“Location Information”). The location of the Organization you are registered through may be used to convey to us information about how you browse and use the Services.

The information collected may be reported back to us, and we may link this information to information we have collected about you. More information about interest-based advertising and similar practices may be available at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
How Does RR Secure My Information?
RR makes reasonable efforts to secure and protect the privacy, accuracy, and reliability of your information and to protect such information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, since no data security protocol is impenetrable, RR cannot guarantee the security of our systems or databases, nor can we guarantee that the Personally Identifiable Information we collect about you will not be breached, intercepted, destroyed, accessed, or otherwise disclosed without authorization. As a result, any information you transfer to or from the Services is provided at your own risk.
Communications you may have with us outside of your RR account via email or postal mail generally should not be considered secure. Therefore, we request that you do not send or post sensitive information through these means. You assume the risk that your communications with RR may not be secure.
Should I Secure My RR Account And Passwords?
Yes. Please do your part to help us keep your information secure. In the event you create an RR Account, your account information will be protected by a password you select. We strongly recommend you choose a strong password and take appropriate steps to ensure your password is not disclosed to any other person. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information and all activities that occur under your password or RR Account. RR specifically reserves the right to terminate your access to Services and any contract you have with RR related to Services in the event it learns or suspects you have disclosed your RR Account or password information to an unauthorized third party.
Your privacy settings may also be affected by changes the social media services you connect to RR make to their services. We are not responsible for the functionality, privacy, or security measures of any third-party organization.
In the case of our App, RR, and the third parties it allows access to the data submitted by you or collected from you when you access and use our App, will treat your data in accordance with the terms and guidelines contained herein.
How Can I Safely Use RR's Services?
Despite RR’s safety and privacy controls, we cannot guarantee that the Services are entirely free of illegal, offensive, pornographic, or otherwise inappropriate material in User Content or that you will not encounter inappropriate or illegal conduct from other users when using the Services. “User Content” means content posted, uploaded, published, submitted, transmitted, or otherwise made available through the Services by a User, whether or not the User has an RR Account or whether or not the User owns or created the content. You can help RR by notifying us of any nudity or pornography in User Content, harassment, or unwelcome contact by emailing us at [email protected]. We need all users’ help to report suspicious people and inappropriate content they encounter on RR.
Remember that although using fake names is a violation of the RR Terms of Service, people may not always be who they say they are. You should always be careful when contacting people you do not know in the real world. It is always risky to meet anyone in person whom you don’t know through real-world friends. The following are important safety tips for using RR’s Services:
- Never share your password with anyone;
- Be cautious about posting and sharing Personally Identifiable Information, especially information that could be used to identify you or locate you offline;
- Report users and content that violate our Terms of Service and
Block and report anyone who sends you unwanted or inappropriate communications.
