LEGAL BASES FOR USE OF YOUR INFORMATION

The laws of some jurisdictions, including the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and the United Kingdom (“UK”), require that companies only process your “Personal Data” (as that term is defined in the applicable law, like the EU General Data Protection Regulation) if they have a “legal basis” (or justifiable need) for processing your Personal Data. To the extent those laws apply, our legal bases for processing Personal Data are as follows: 

• To perform our obligations pursuant to a contract (or pending contract) with you. For example, we will process your Personal Data to comply with our Terms of Use to enter into a contract with you, and to honor our commitments in any contracts that we have with you.
• For our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of others. For example, we will process your Personal Data to: operate our business and our Services; identify and fix any issues with our Services; secure the Services; learn more about how our customers use the Services; perform internal analytics; improve the Services and Users’ experiences; conduct marketing; provide you with certain information about new products, special offers or other information that we think you may find interesting using the email address which you have provided in accordance with applicable law; make and receive payments; comply with legal requirements and defend our legal rights; prevent fraud; engage in a business change (e.g., sale, merger); and to know the customer to whom we are providing Services.

We recognize the importance of implementing a variety of security safeguards designed to protect the confidentiality of your information. However, no data transmission over the Internet or other network is completely secure. As a result, while we strive to protect information you transmitted on or through our Services, you do so at your own risk.

When you create an account, you may be prompted to create a username or password. If you create an account with us, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account password and for any activity that occurs under your account. We are not responsible for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the confidentiality of your password. We urge you to change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure you are using a secure browser. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure or if you suspect someone else is using your account, please let us know immediately by contacting us as indicated in the “Contact Us” section below.

THIRD PARTY LINKS AND FEATURES

Please be aware that third-party websites accessible or recommended through our Services may have their own privacy and data collection policies and practices. These links and features are provided for your reference and convenience only and do not imply any endorsement of information provided through these third-party links and features, nor any association with their operators. We are not responsible for any actions, content of websites, or privacy policies of such third parties. We urge you to read the privacy and security policies of these third parties.

HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR DATA

• The right to access personal information we hold about you.
• The right to have any inaccurate personal information we hold about you corrected or updated.
• The right to object to our processing of your personal information or prevent the processing of your personal information for direct-marketing purposes.

• The right to have the personal information we hold about you deleted in certain circumstances.

We will consider all such requests and provide our response within the time period required by applicable law. Please note, however, that certain information may be exempt from such requests, for example if we need to keep the information to comply with our own legal obligations or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. Your rights and our responses will vary based on your state or country of residency. Please note that you may be located in a jurisdiction where we are not obligated, or are unable, to fulfill a request. In such a case, your request may not be fulfilled. If you are a California resident, please see the “Privacy Information for California Residents” section below for information about your specific rights under California law.

If applicable, you may make a complaint to your local data protection supervisory authority in the country where you are based. Alternatively, you may seek a remedy through local courts if you believe your rights have been breached.

Identifying the Data Controller and Processor

Data protection laws in certain jurisdictions differentiate between the “controller” and “processor” of information. In general, the Partner is the controller of Partner Data. In general, Prizeout Corp. is the processor of Partner Data and the controller of information collected or maintained in relation to a User’s account, information pertaining to Partners, Merchants, and their personnel and accounts, Device and Usage Data (including, internet or other network or device activity, Services metadata, log data, location information), cookie information, and other information provided to Prizeout.

Privacy Information for California Residents

California Privacy Rights

Terms used in this section and not otherwise defined have the meaning given to them under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). 

California law requires us to provide some additional information regarding your rights with respect to your “personal information.” In many cases, if you are a California resident, the CCPA allows you to make certain requests about your personal information. Specifically, unless certain exceptions apply, the CCPA allows you to request us to:

• Inform you about the categories of personal information we collect or disclose about you; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information; and the categories of third parties with whom we share/disclose personal information. 
• Provide access to and/or a copy of certain personal information we hold about you.
• Delete certain personal information we have about you.
• Provide you with information about certain financial incentives that we offer to you, if any.

You also have certain rights under the CCPA not to be subject to certain negative consequences for exercising CCPA rights.

We reserve the right to verify your identity before responding to a request, which may include, at a minimum, depending on the sensitivity of the information you are requesting and the type of request you are making, verifying your name, email address, phone number, or other information. You are also permitted to designate an authorized agent to submit certain requests on your behalf. In order for an authorized agent to be verified, you must provide the authorized agent with signed, written permission to make such requests or a power of attorney. We may also follow up with you to verify your identity before processing the authorized agent’s request.

Please note that certain information may be exempt from such requests under California law. For example, we need certain information in order to provide the Services to you or to comply with legal obligations, so we would need to either reject your request to delete the information or, if we are legally permitted to delete it, we would need to terminate our provision of the Services to you after deleting it. If you would like further information regarding your legal rights under California law or would like to exercise any of them, please use our web form or Contact Us at [email protected].

With regard to Partner Data, Consumers should direct requests to exercise applicable rights to the Partner on whose behalf we handle the data. If we receive a request from a User directly in relation to Partner Data, we will either alert you to redirect your request to the applicable Partner or refer that request to the appropriate Partner and await the Partner’s instructions on how to handle it.

Collection, Use, and Disclosure of Californian’s Personal Information

During the 12 months leading up to the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we collected (and continue to collect) all of the categories of information listed in the chart below and described in the “Information We Collect” section of our Privacy Policy. That section also explains the sources from which we collect information about you, including, for example, you, Partners, Gift Card providers, Merchants, service providers, analytics providers, cookies and tracking technologies, survey partners, and marketing partners.

The “How We Use Information” section of this Privacy Policy explains how and why we use your personal information. Generally speaking, we use your information to provide our Services, manage and verify your account, offer Gift Cards and fulfill and deliver Gift Card transactions, bill, remit, charge, and process payments, send communications, personalize the Services, provide customer service, analyze, research, develop, and improve the Services, enforce legal terms and defend our rights, investigate and prevent security issues, fraud, and abuse, comply with laws, and as described when collecting your information.

California residents may opt out of the “sale” of their personal information. California law broadly defines “sale” in a way that may include allowing third parties to receive certain information such as cookies, IP address and/or browsing behavior for interest-based advertising or related purposes. It may also cover certain disclosures of personal information by Prizeout to other entities. Although Prizeout does not currently sell personal information in exchange for any monetary consideration, we may share personal information for other benefits that could be deemed a “sale” as defined by the CCPA. We also share certain information as set forth in “Cookies & Similar Technologies” section, the Cookie Policy, and in the chart below. For details on how to opt out of cookies, please see the Cookie Policy.

If you or your authorized agent would like to opt out of Prizeout’s use of your information for such purposes that are considered a “sale” under the CCPA, you may do so as outlined on the following page: Do Not Sell My Personal Information.
