This policy does not cover the services offered by HitsLab through the Sites which require the creation of accounts or other login credentials (the "Services"). The applicable privacy policies relating to the use of the Services are available within the End User License Agreements ("EULAs") that Users are required to agree to before their use of the Services. The EULAs are available on the respective sign-up pages for the Services and within the Services themselves.

By visiting the Sites (all such persons as a "User"), you acknowledge and accept the practices and policies outlined in this privacy policy ("Privacy Policy"). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to them in the HitsLab Terms & Conditions, which can be found at Terms & Conditions and which incorporate this Privacy Policy by reference.

Information We Collect and Opting Out of Automatic Collection

We collect the following information that you submit to us voluntarily:

HitsLab may also use "cookies," "pixel tags" and other tracking technologies, to enable functionality on our websites, as well as a variety of other ways to enhance or personalize your online browsing. HitsLab may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them), as well as other similar technologies, for a variety of tasks, for instance, to enhance your browsing experience. Pixel tags in our emails may be used to track your interactions with those messages, such as when you receive, open, or click a link in an email message from us. These technologies may also be used to collect information about your visit, including the pages you view, the features you use, the links you click, other actions you take in connection with the sites and our online ads.

     

  •       We also work with third-party companies that use their tracking technologies (including cookies and pixel tags) on our websites in order to provide tailored advertisements on our behalf and on behalf of other advertisers across the Internet. These companies may collect information about your activity on our sites and your interaction with our advertising and other communications and use this information to determine which ads you see on third-party websites and applications. We also make use of Google Analytics. More information can be found out about Google Analytics here:

  •       You have the option to set your browser not to accept cookies or to notify you when you are sent a cookie, giving you the opportunity to decide whether or not to accept it. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to access your account information and certain parts of the Sites may not function as effectively or at all.

  •       Please note that even if you opt-out, ad tracking technologies may still collect data and you will still see ads, but they will not be targeted based upon the information collected through these tracking technologies.

     

  •       We may combine the information we collect through these various technologies with other information we have collected from and about you and use it as described in this policy.

    Use of Information We Collect

    In general, information (including Personal Information) we collect is used by us to provide you and other Users with the Sites, respond to requests that you make, including performing technical support, to improve the Sites and Services, to better tailor the features, performance and support of the Services, and to perform investigations consistent with this Privacy Policy.

    We may also use your Personal Information to provide you with notifications related to your use of the Sites.

    We may create anonymized information from Personal Information by excluding information that makes the information personally identifiable to you. We may use this anonymized information for internal purposes, such as analyzing usage patterns so that we may enhance the Sites and Services, and we also reserve the right to use and disclose such anonymized information at our discretion.

    Disclosure of Personal Information

    Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not disclose to or share your Personal Information with third parties, unless you ask or authorize us to do so.

    We may provide your Personal Information to third party service providers and suppliers who work on behalf of or with us to provide you with some of the services and features of the Sites and to help us communicate with our Users, for instance, to get User feedback or conduct services. However, these service providers and suppliers do not have any independent right to use this information except to help us provide the Sites.

    We may share some or all of your Personal Information with any parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under a common control (collectively, "Affiliates"), in which case we will require our Affiliates to honor this Privacy Policy.

    In the event HitsLab goes through a business transition such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, including pursuant to bankruptcy (the foregoing together as a "Business Transaction"), you acknowledge that your Personal Information may be among the assets transferred and consent to such transfer. In addition, your Personal Information and Health Information, as defined in any of the End User License Agreements available at [Medical Provider], [Medical Patient], [Veterinary Provider] and [Veterinary Patient] may also be among the assets transferred in a Business transaction and you hereby expressly consent to such transfer.

    We may (and you authorize us to) disclose or retain, for as long as is reasonably necessary to accomplish the below, information we have collected from and about you (including Personal Information) if we believe in good faith that such disclosure or retention is necessary to:

    (a)   to respond to subpoenas, warrants served on us or other government request, or otherwise comply with applicable law, court order, judicial or arbitral process;

    (b)  to enforce our HitsLab Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy; or

    (c)   to protect and defend the rights or property of us, the users of our Sites and Services, or third parties.

    Choices Regarding Personal Information

    If we do ask for Personal Information, we may provide you with the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having your Personal Information used for certain purposes, when we ask for this information.

    We may send you service-related announcements when we believe it is necessary to do so. Generally, you may not opt-out of these announcements, as they are not primarily promotional in nature. If you do not wish to receive these announcements, you will be given the choice to opt-out of receiving further communications from us.

    We may notify you when your Personal Information is collected by any third party that is not our agent/service provider so you can make an informed choice as to whether or not to share your information with that party.

    If and when we delete Personal Information that we have collected from or about you, it will be deleted from our active databases but may remain in our archives unless otherwise required by law.

    Links to Other Web Sites

    The Sites may contain links to other web sites that are not owned or controlled by HitsLab. The provision of such links is for your convenience and does not signify our endorsement of such web sites or location or its contents. We have no control over, do not review and are not responsible for the privacy policies of or content displayed on such other web sites. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to any outside sites.

    Advertising

    We may allow advertisers to place advertisements on the Sites. Clicking on such advertisements will direct you to the website of a third party. These websites may use tracking technologies in connection with these advertisements and may collect information from you, which may include Personal Information. This Privacy Policy does not cover the collection of information by these third-party websites.

In fact, the Sites and Services are not intended for use by children under thirteen (13) or to solicit information of any kind from children under thirteen (13).

    However, it is possible that we may inadvertently receive information from children under thirteen (13).

Consistent with COPPA, and as stated above in "Privacy of Minors and Children," we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without prior verifiable parental consent. A parent or guardian may revoke their consent and ask that information about their child be deleted from the site by contacting our offices via mail (see: address below) or email at info@HitsLabs.com.
