If you have questions or concerns about this privacy notice or how we handle your personal information, contact us at cr@crmarketing.biz.

When you use our services (the “Services”), you trust us with your personal information. We take that trust seriously. In this privacy notice, we explain what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have. Please take time to read it carefully, as it is essential. If you do not agree with any terms in this notice, stop using our Services immediately.

This privacy notice applies to all information collected through our Services, as well as any related services, sales, marketing, or events.

Please read this privacy notice carefully, as it will help you understand what we do with the information that we collect.

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

Personal information you disclose to us

We collect personal information that you provide voluntarily. This may happen when you register to learn more about us or our products and services, participate in activities on our site (such as posting in forums or entering contests, competitions, or giveaways), or when you contact us directly.

The type of personal information we collect depends on how you interact with us, the choices you make, and the products or features you use. This information may include:

Social Media Login Data.

You may have the option to register with us using your existing social media account details, such as Facebook, Twitter, or another platform. If you choose this option, we collect the information described in the section called “How We Handle Your Social Logins” below.

All personal information you provide must be true, complete, and accurate. Please notify us if your personal information changes.

Information Automatically Collected

We collect certain information automatically when you visit, use, or navigate our website. This information does not identify you directly (such as by name or contact details). Instead, it may include device and usage data, such as your IP address, browser type, device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, and details about when and how you use our services.

We use this information to maintain the security and operation of our systems and to support internal analytics and reporting.

Like many businesses, we also use cookies and similar technologies to collect information.

WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH ANYONE?

In Short, we only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations.

We may process or share your data that we hold based on the following legal basis:

• Consent: We may process your data if you have given us specific consent to use your personal information for a particular purpose.
• Legitimate Interests: We may process your data when it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests.
• Performance of a Contract: Where we have entered into a contract with you, we may process your personal information to fulfill the terms of our agreement.
• Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena (including in response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements).
• Vital Interests: We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.

More specifically, we may need to process your data or share your personal information in the following situations:

• Business Transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.

• Affiliates. We may share your information with our affiliates, in which case we will require those affiliates to honor this privacy notice. Affiliates include our parent company and any subsidiaries, or other companies that we control or that are under common control with us.

• Other Users.

  When you share personal information or interact in public areas of the site, other users can view that information. It may also remain publicly available outside the site indefinitely.

  If you interact with other users or register through a social network (such as Facebook), your contacts on that network may see your name, profile photo, and details about your activity. Other users on our platform can also view your activity, communicate with you, and see your profile.

DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Notice.

HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR SOCIAL LOGINS?

Our service allows you to register and log in using your third-party social media account details (like your Facebook or Twitter logins). Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider. The profile Information we receive may vary depending on the social media provider concerned, but will often include your name, email address, friends list, profile picture, as well as other information you choose to make public on such social media platforms.

We will use the information we receive only for the purposes that are described in this privacy notice or that are otherwise made clear to you on the relevant website. Please note that we do not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your third-party social media provider. We recommend reviewing their privacy notice to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information, as well as how to set your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.

IS YOUR INFORMATION TRANSFERRED INTERNATIONALLY?

Our servers are located in the U.S. If you are accessing our site from outside, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed by us in our facilities and by those third parties with whom we may share your personal information (see “WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH ANYONE?” above), in other countries.

Suppose you are a resident of the European Economic Area. In that case, these countries may not necessarily have data protection laws or other similar laws as comprehensive as those in your country. We will, however, take all necessary measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this privacy notice and applicable law.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a more extended retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). 

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the website, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor’s use of the website. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to delete such data from our records promptly. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please get in touch with us at cr@crmarketing.biz.

Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your account and information from our active databases.

Opting out of email marketing: You can unsubscribe from our marketing email list at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails that we send or by contacting us using the details provided below. You will then be removed from the marketing email list; however, we may still communicate with you, for example, to send you service-related emails that are necessary for the administration and use of your account, to respond to service requests, or for other non-marketing purposes. To otherwise opt out, you may:

CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.

DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS NOTICE?

We may update this privacy notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated “Revised” date, and it will be effective as soon as it is accessible. If we make material changes to this privacy notice, we may notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to review this privacy notice frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.

HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?
