Privacy
Policy
Rugosa Enterprises LLC, an Oregon
company, and hereafter known as RE has established this Privacy
Policy as of 4/8/10 to explain how it protects and manages
the personal information that it collects from you (the customer)
online.
- Consent for Collection, Use and
Disclosure
Your use of the Rugosa Enterprises, LLC (RE) site and/or
your registration for RE products and services constitute
your consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you
do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please
do not use the RE site.
RE may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When it
does, RE will also revise the “last update”
date at the top of this Privacy Policy. In addition, RE
will seek a customer’s prior consent, by email, for
any new uses or proposed disclosures of information collected
from the customer prior to the change. RE will notify customers
by email of changes to this policy that will affect information
collected from them in the future. In certain circumstances,
however, RE will not inform and obtain the consent of the
customer, such as in connection with an investigation of
a breach of an agreement, contravention of laws, an emergency
where the life, health or security of an individual is threatened,
the collection of a debt or in compliance with the request
of a law enforcement agency or a court order.
A customer may withdraw his or her consent for collection,
use and disclosure at any time by sending an email to unsubscribe@rosecaretips.com.
Please note that, if you do, RE may suspend its provision
of products and services to you. When you unsubscribe, if
you fall within the guarantee period for any RE product
and you request a refund, the guarantee will be honored.
- Accountability
RE collects, at the time of your registration and your
sign-on to its web site, certain “personal information”
(information that personally identifies you) including but
not limited to your name, email address, home or work address,
telephone number, and information about your computer hardware
and software (e.g., IP address, operating system, browser
type, domain name, URL, access times, and referring web
site addresses).
RE has implemented this Privacy Policy to protect personal
information received from its customers, and to respond
to any inquiries. The Privacy Policy also provides that
RE will use appropriate contractual means to establish
a comparable level of protection for personal information
which is sent for processing by third parties on RE behalf.
RE has designated responsibility for your personal information
to its Privacy Officer, who ensures compliance with the
principles in this Privacy Policy. Other RE individuals
may be delegated to act on behalf of the Privacy Officer.
- Purposes for Collecting Personal
Information
RE collects and uses personal information for the following
Identified Purposes:
- to understand customer needs regarding RE services;
- to develop and provide our web site and our products and services for our customers;
- to fulfill your requests for products, services or information;
- to communicate with customers and site visitors, when necessary, and to
inform customers of upgrades, as well as of other products
and services available from RE, its affiliates and third parties;
- to allow customers to access limited-entry areas of RE site;
- to personalize some of our services and products for you and to deliver targeted advertisements
and offers from RE and third parties;
- to bill accounts and maintain payment records;
- to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or government request;
- to respond to a legitimate claim, or to address our reasonable
belief, that you are violating the rights of any third party
or any of the agreements or policies that govern your use
of the RE site or any RE product or service;
- to protect the services, products or rights of RE, including but not
limited to the security or integrity of the RE site; and
- to identify and resolve technical problems concerning
RE site, products and services.
RE also uses personal information in an aggregate form
(i.e., not individually attributable to you) for its business
analysis, operational, marketing and other promotional purposes.
If we hire other companies to provide some products or services
on our behalf, then we will only provide those companies
the personal information they need for the Identified Purposes,
and we will limit their rights to use and further disclose
your personal information as appropriate in the course of
their work for us.
- Limiting
the Collection of Personal Information
RE limits its collection of personal information to only
that information which is necessary for the Identified Purposes.
RE does not direct its site to, nor does it knowingly collect
any personal information from children under the age of
thirteen.
When you visit the RE web site, a cookie may be placed
on your computer or the cookie may be read if you have visited
the RE site previously. RE uses cookies to allow RE to
determine which products and services you have already purchased
so that RE does not provide redundant information to you,
and, if you are an RE affiliate, to track RE sales made
to customers referred by you so that you can receive compensation
under our affiliate program. If you choose to not have your
browser accept cookies from the RE web site, you may not
be able to view all the text on the screens, or to experience
a personalised visit, or to subscribe to certain service
and product offerings on the RE site.
- Disclosure, Processing and Retention
RE does not sell, rent or disclose your personal information
to anyone else, except:
- to someone you have designated to act as your agent,
for one or more of the Identified Purposes (listed in Section 2, above);
- to RE employees, independent contractors,
subsidiaries, affiliates, consultants, business associates,
service providers, suppliers and agents, acting on behalf
of RE for any of the Identified Purposes; (Rugosa Enterprises LLC is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com.; RE is a participant in the Chitika and Google Adsense network advertising programs designed as a means for RE to earn advertising fees by allowing paid advertising links on RE sites from non-affiliated and non RE endorsed third parties and said advertising networks may place cookies in your web browser but RE will not disclose such personal information as your name, address, etc., unless for one of the Identified Purposes [Section 2, above])
- as necessary if RE has reason to believe that disclosure is necessary
to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone
who may be causing injury to or interference (either intentionally
or unintentionally) with RE rights or property, other users
of RE web site, products or services, or anyone else that
could be harmed by such activities; and
- to respond to judicial process and provide information to law enforcement
agencies or in connection with an investigation on matters
related to public safety, as permitted by law, or otherwise
as required by law.
In addition, as we continue to develop our business, we
or our affiliates may sell or buy other businesses or entities,
or we may merge with another company. In such transactions,
personal information may be one of the transferred business
assets. Also, in the event that RE or substantially all
of its assets are acquired, your personal information may
be one of the transferred assets.
Your information may be stored and processed in the United
States, or in any other country in which RE or its affiliates,
subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities. By using this
web site, you consent to any such transfer of information
outside of your country.
After your account becomes inactive (that is, if you request
to be removed from our database), RE will keep your personal
information in its archives. Your information will then
be used only as necessary for tax reasons or to prove RE
compliance with any applicable law.
- Accuracy
of Personal Information
RE will use reasonable efforts to keep customer personal
information accurate for the Identified Purposes, and for
minimizing the possibility of making inappropriate customer
decisions based on such information. Customers are responsible
for informing RE about changes to their personal information.
You can do this by calling 877-891-7192 or sending an email
to our privacy department. RE will use new or updated personal
information it receives from customers to update its own
records.
- Security
Safeguards
RE will use reasonable efforts to protect customers’
personal information.
- Access to Personal Information
RE will afford you a reasonable opportunity to review the
personal information in your file, if you so request by
calling 877-891-7192,
writing to:
Rugosa Enterprises LLC
2850 SW Cedar Hills Blvd. #105
Beaverton, OR 97005
USA
... or upon request to the Privacy Officer.
If RE is not able to provide access to some aspect of a
customer’s personal information, it will provide reasons
for denying access such as; that by doing so would likely
reveal personal information about a third party, or that
it is confidential commercial information or attorney–client
privileged communications, or that the information relates
to a breach of an agreement or a contravention of law, or
that its disclosure could reasonably be expected to threaten
the life or security of another individual.
Customers have the right to request that inaccurate or incomplete
information be amended as appropriate, by contacting RE
or the Privacy Officer as described above. RE will promptly
correct such personal information.
