PRIVACY POLICY
EFFECTIVE APRIL 29TH, 2016
This Privacy Policy is specific to Vision Global LLC, and its affiliates, partners and subsidiaries (“VG,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use and disclose your personal information in the course of providing products and services through any website owned and operated by VG and in connection with your use of our mobile applications, whether accessed via computer, mobile device or other technology (collectively, the “Sites”). By using the Sites, you indicate your assent to all of the terms of this Privacy Policy and to the latest version of the applicable terms and conditions of use governing the Sites. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy or the applicable terms and conditions of use, do not use the Sites or submit any personal information to us.
Information We Collect
“Personal Information” is data that can be used to uniquely identify or contact a single person. If you wish to participate in some of the features and services the Sites may offer, we may ask you to provide certain Personal Information. We do not collect Personal Information unless you voluntarily provide it to us. When you visit, use or register on our Sites, request information, submit comments, videos, messages, photographs, content, surveys or feedback forms, participate in webcasts, chat rooms, forums, message boards, blogs or other interactive features of the Sites, or otherwise communicate or interact with us, we may collect certain Personal Information from you. How we collect this information will depend on how you choose to use our Sites and interact with us. We may collect Personal Information that you provide to us directly when you conduct business with us, including via telephone, fax, email, or through your use of and interaction with us on the Sites. Such Personal Information may include, but is not limited to: your name, home address, phone number, email address, date of birth, and payment and credit card information. We may also collect demographic information, such as your age, gender and ethnicity.
When we collect payment information directly from you, like credit card numbers and expiration dates, we transmit this data directly from you to the credit card processing company and it is not stored by VG.
As you interact with the Sites, we may also collect information automatically about your visit to our Sites. We use analytics services that provide us with certain information when you use the Sites for the purposes of giving us operational and marketing data about our online visitors’ usage. The type of information gathered in monitoring use of the Sites could include, but will not be limited to, browser and operating system information, dates and times of a particular user’s visit and/or click path taken through the Sites, lookup information, Internet Protocol (IP) address, Media Access Control (MAC) address, and information that may be publicly available (collectively, the “Usage Data”). The Usage Data may be used in aggregate form (as described below) that does not identify you to us or in a form that may identify you to us. The Usage Data may let us know, anonymously or in a manner whereby your identity is known to us, which services and features you are using or accessing within our Sites (including, for example but without limitation, whether you may have accessed or downloaded audiovisual material from the Sites), as well as the device type and hardware features, country and language of download.
AGGREGATE INFORMATION
“Aggregate Information” is collected as you visit our Sites or interact with our Services even if you do not enter any information. Generally, Aggregate Information is used in a collective manner, and no single person can be identified by that compiled information. We use Aggregate Information to provide Services, as well as to determine the use of our Site and to monitor, audit, and analyze information pertaining to our business metrics. Further, Aggregate Information may and can be used to determine trends and tendencies that may help with improving the Site and Services.
Information We Receive from Third Parties
We may receive information about you from third parties. For example, if you are browsing another website and you opt-in to receive information from us, then that website may forward to us your email address and other information about you so that we may contact you as requested. You may also choose to participate in a third-party application or feature through which you allow us to collect (or the third party to share) information about you, including Personal Information.
We may also supplement the information we collect about you through the Sites with outside records from third parties in order to enhance our ability to serve you, to tailor our content to you and to offer you opportunities to purchase products or services that we believe may be of interest to you. We may combine the information we receive from these third parties with information we collect through the Sites. In those cases, we will apply this Privacy Policy to any Personal Information received, unless we have disclosed otherwise.
Cookies, Web Beacons and Analytics Services
When you view the Sites, whether from your computer, tablet or mobile device, we may store some information on the device you use to access the Sites in the form of a “cookie.” Cookies are used by many websites to give users access to certain functions (e.g., for security purposes, to tailor communications with you, and to facilitate and personalize your experience while navigating the Sites). The information stored in the cookie can also be used to monitor a user's behavior on the Sites. You can configure your browser to reject cookies by modifying your browser settings, but if your browser settings do not accept cookies from us, then some functions of our Sites may not operate as intended and you may not have access to all the services, features and/or promotions we may offer.
Web beacons (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags or web bugs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web users or to access cookies. Unlike cookies which are stored on the user’s computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages (or in email). Web beacons may be used to deliver or communicate with cookies, to count users who have visited certain pages and to understand usage patterns. Web beacons may be used to measure the effectiveness of our Sites and advertising in certain ways, such as by counting the number of individuals who visit our Sites or open and act upon an email message. You can make some web beacons unusable by rejecting cookies.
As we mentioned above, we may also use certain analytics services and visit recognition software to improve the use and functionality of our Sites and to build a demographic profile. If third parties provide such analytics services and software, the third parties may also receive the information collected and their use of such information is governed by their privacy policies.
Do Not Track Requests
Unless your browser settings are configured to make your online activities and publicly available information about your online activities (such as traffic data, including unique device identifier of the device used to access our Sites, device type used to access the Sites and its capabilities, operating system version, browser type and its capabilities, length of visits to the Sites and click path taken, lookup information and time spent on certain Sites) invisible to usages analytics tools, we do not presently have the technological capability to omit you from usage analytics to the extent your browser only sends us a “do not track” message and does not otherwise screen you from tracking without any action on our part.

To provide the services, products and offerings that you request, and to communicate with you regarding such services, products and offerings;

Your Choices
You may choose not to provide certain Personal Information requested by us, but please be aware that you may be prevented from making full use of the features, services and/or promotions we offer. For example, we may require your name and email address to add you to an email newsletter list or to allow you to comment on our blog. We may require a home address, cell phone or telephone number to enter you in a contest or sweepstakes so that we can send prize notifications, deliver rewards or prizes or notify you of special offers.
You may opt-out of having your Personal Information used for commercial purposes. Users who no longer wish to receive our promotional communications may contact us by email to be removed from our lists. Be sure to include any contact information that you want removed from our promotional contacts list, including physical addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses (If you use more than one email address, send your opt-out email from each of your email addresses.) If you receive any online newsletter or similar promotional email communication from us, you will be given the option to “unsubscribe” from receiving further email communications from us at any time. In some cases, you may also visit our Sites which allow you to choose whether you wish to receive certain online newsletters and savings updates and to update your contact information. Your option not to receive promotional and marketing material will not preclude us from corresponding with you, by email or otherwise, regarding your existing or past business relationships with us (e.g., any purchase of our products or use of our services or responses to requests for information you pose to us either through use of the Sites or by other means), and will not preclude us from accessing and viewing your Personal Information in the course of maintaining and improving our Sites and our services.

In accordance with our routine record keeping, we may delete certain records that contain Personal Information you have submitted through the Sites. We are under no obligation to store such Personal Information indefinitely and disclaim any liability arising out of, or related to, the destruction of such Personal Information. In addition, you should be aware that it is not always possible to completely remove or delete all of your information from our databases without some residual data because of backups and other reasons.
