Privacy Policy
CenFRA, Inc. (“CenFRA”) is committed to protecting the privacy of its Website visitors, users and registrants (for purposes of the Privacy Policy, “users”) and their respective information. This Privacy Policy describes CenFRA’s privacy practices with respect to information collected by this Website.
The Website is managed by CenFRA and its third party website management and hosting service providers (each, a “Provider”), each of which is bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy (CenFRA and its Providers, collectively, “CenFRA”). Further to CenFRA’s Terms of Use, if the Website contains links to other third party websites, such sites are governed by their respective terms of use and privacy policies.
CenFRA reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time and will provide notification of any material changes to this Privacy Policy through the Website.
1. Collection of Information
Currently, CenFRA collects only the names and email addresses of users who voluntarily register for CenFRA’s online newsletter and uses this information solely to send the newsletter to those users. CenFRA is the sole owner of the information collected on our Website and CenFRA does not sell, share or rent this information to third parties except as necessary to administer the Website as disclosed herein. CenFRA may store this information itself or arrange for storage in databases maintained by CenFRA’s service providers.
If a user’s personally-identifiable information changes or if a user desires to terminate his/her newsletter registration, he/she can correct, update or remove all information provided to CenFRA via the registration information page or by emailing [email protected].
In addition to and without limitation of any other terms herein, CenFRA will provide its Website and collect limited personal contact information from its users in compliance with all applicable data privacy and data security laws and regulations, including all applicable laws and regulations concerning personal data submitted to, collected by, used by, stored on, and/or hosted on the Website, which include the EU General Data Protection Legislation effective as of May 25, 2018, the European Directive 2009/136/EC, and any and all other applicable and/or successor data privacy/security legislation in any state, federal, or foreign country or other jurisdiction in which the Website is hosted and/or operates, including data collection, data processing, and email activities.
2. Means of Collecting Information; No Online Tracking
CenFRA may track certain user information solely to administer the Website and to analyze data for trends and statistics on an aggregated basis; provided that aggregated information will not be linked in any way to user-identifiable information. CenFRA may collect non-personally-identifiable information, including IP addresses, through commonly-used information-gathering tools such as cookies and analytical tools. (Please note that, if an individual disables his or her Web browser’s ability to accept cookies, that individual can navigate the Website but may not be able to successfully use all the features and functions thereon.)
CenFRA does not currently permit any third party to access and use the Website to track any user’s logins and movements, including to and from the Website, or to collect any user’s personal information. If, at any point, CenFRA elects to use any of its users’ personally-identifiable information in a manner other than as stated in this Privacy Policy, CenFRA will update the Policy, use all commercially reasonable efforts to provide each user with the opportunity to opt out of CenFRA’s modified use of his/her information at that time, and comply with all applicable laws, including any statutory obligation to obtain a user’s consent to use of his/her personal information.
Children under the age of thirteen should not provide any personal information on this Website. CenFRA is committed to protecting children’s online privacy; accordingly, CenFRA does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 and CenFRA will not retain any information provided by a user under the age of 13 if CenFRA becomes aware of such user’s age.
3. Use and Sharing of Collected Information
CenFRA shares user information with its Providers solely to enable those providers to provide the Website, CenFRA’s newsletters and related services on CenFRA’s behalf.
CenFRA does not share, sell, rent or trade any user information with third parties for promotional purposes, including targeted advertising to CenFRA’s users. CenFRA does not currently permit the collection of personal or tracking information by third parties through advertising technologies deployed on the Website nor does CenFRA share personal information collected from the Website with any third parties (other than its Providers). CenFRA will share only aggregate and anonymous information with third parties for marketing, research or similar purposes.
CenFRA reserves the right to use or disclose user information if required by law or court order or if CenFRA reasonably believes that use or disclosure is necessary to protect CenFRA’s rights. CenFRA may also transfer users’ information to a third party in the course of a sale or reorganization of CenFRA’s business or assets.
4. Surveys and Giveaways
From time to time, the Website may request contact and/or demographic information (i.e., zip code, gender, birthdate or age) from users through surveys or giveaways. Participation in any such survey or giveaway is completely voluntary and the user is under no obligation to participate or to disclose any information. Survey information will be used to monitor and/or improve the use and functionality of the Website. If any manufacturer that advertises on the Website offers users the opportunity to participate in a sweepstakes, that sweepstakes will be hosted on the manufacturer’s website and governed by that manufacturer’s terms of use and privacy policy.
5. Security
Subject to the terms herein, CenFRA employs industry-standard administrative, technical, organizational and physical measures in compliance with applicable laws and regulations to protect the security of its user information and to protect against unauthorized access thereto or unauthorized use or disclosure thereof. However, no Internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error-free and, as set forth in the Terms of Use, CenFRA makes no warranty and assumes no liability for any such transmission or any damages incurred in connection therewith. If you have any questions about CenFRA’s Website security, please contact [email protected].
CenFRA cannot and does not guarantee or warrant the security and privacy of information provided by users on or through the Website. Each user discloses personal information on or through our Website wholly at his/her own risk and each acknowledges that he/she is aware of the security and privacy risks involved, including limitations of the security, privacy and authentication measures in the Website, threats of external interference such as eavesdropping, breaking passwords and hacking, and contamination by viruses.
In accordance with Section 2 of the Terms of Use, each user, on behalf of himself/herself and his/her heirs, executors, legal representatives and other successors in interest, hereby releases and discharges CenFRA from any and all liability or responsibility for any damages suffered by that user arising out of any disclosure of his/her personally-identifiable information other than as a result of CenFRA’S willful misconduct.
6. Public Forums and Client Testimonials
Further to Section 8 of the Terms of Use, CenFRA, at its sole option, may elect to provide bulletin boards, blogs or chat rooms on its Website. Any personal information that a user chooses to submit in such a forum may be viewed, read, collected and/or used by others who visit these forums and may be used to send unsolicited messages. CenFRA is not responsible for personal information that any individual chooses to submit in these forums.
CenFRA, at its option and in accordance with CenFRA’s terms of use and privacy policy, may post testimonials on the Website that contain information such as user names.
