When this Privacy Policy Applies

Our Privacy Policy applies to the services offered by The Guardian Canary, LLC on the site and excludes services that have separate privacy policies that do not incorporate this Privacy Policy.

Our Privacy Policy does not apply to services offered by other companies or individuals, including products or sites that may be displayed to you, or other sites linked from our services or site. Our Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices of other companies and organizations who advertise our services, and who may use cookies, pixel tags and other technologies to serve and offer relevant ads.

Terms of Use

By accessing or using the site in any manner, you also agree to be bound by The Guardian Canary, LLC’s Terms and Conditions. Please read the Terms and Conditions carefully. If you do not accept all of the terms and conditions, please do not use the site.

Information We Collect

We collect information, including personal data, to provide better services to all our Customers. We use the term “Personal Data” to refer to any information that identifies or can be used to identify you. Common examples of personal data include: first and last name, email address, home address, and phone number.

“Sensitive Personal Data” refers to a smaller subset of personal data which is considered more sensitive to the individual, such as race and ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership, genetic or biometric information, physical or mental health information, medical insurance data, or sexual orientation. The Guardian Canary, LLC does not collect or use Sensitive Personal Data through this site and asks that you do not provide Sensitive Personal Data to us.

We collect Personal Data in the following ways:

1. Information You Give to Us

You may choose to provide us with personal data about yourself, including your name, phone number, address, and email address, by completing forms on our website, such as when you request information about our services. You may also provide us with Personal Data about yourself when your report a problem or have a question about our site or services.

How We Use Information We Collect

We use your personal data in ways that are compatible with the purposes for which it was collected or authorized by you, including for the following purposes:

1. To enroll you as a customer of one of our services;
2. To process your payment for one of our services;
3. To respond to and support your requests for help or information;
4. To provide you the service you enrolled in.

We will ask for your consent before using information for a purpose other than those set out in this Privacy Policy.

Our Legal Basis for Collecting Personal Data

Whenever we collect Personal Data from you, we may do so on the following legal bases:

1. Your consent to such collection and use;
2. Out of necessity for the performance of an agreement between us and you, such as your agreement to use our services;
3. Our legitimate business interest, including but not limited to the following circumstances where collecting or using Personal Data is necessary for:
• Communications and marketing, including processing data for direct marketing purposes, and subject to your opt-in for these purposes

Provided that, in each circumstance, we will weigh the necessity of our processing for the purpose against your privacy and confidentiality interests, including taking into account your reasonable expectations, the impact of processing, and any safeguards which are or could be put in place. In all circumstances, we will limit such processing for our legitimate business interest to what is necessary for its purposes. 

Information We Share

We do not share personal information collected through this site with companies, organizations and individuals outside of the Company unless one of the following circumstances applies:

• For external processing. We provide personal information to other trusted businesses to process it for us, based on our instructions and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. These third parties provide credit card processing and email distribution. It is our policy to only share Personal Data with contractors, service providers and other third parties who are bound by contractual obligations to keep Personal Data confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them. Under certain circumstances, you may avoid having us share your information with our vendors by not granting us permission to share your information.  Not granting us permission to share your information with our vendors will limit your access to our services through the site. We do not share personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

• Business Transfers. As we continue to develop our business, we may buy, sell, or share assets in connection with, for example, a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or bankruptcy. In such transactions, Personal Data about our users is often a transferred business asset.  In the event that The Guardian Canary, LLC itself or substantially all of our assets are acquired, Personal Data about our users may be one of the transferred assets.

Your Failure to Provide Personal Data

Your provision of Personal Data is required in order to use our services.  If you fail to provide such Personal Data, you will not be able to access and use our services on our site.

Our Retention of Your Personal Data

We may retain your Personal Data for a period of time consistent with the original purpose for collection.  For example, we keep your Personal Data for no longer than reasonably necessary for your use of our services and for a reasonable period of time afterward. We also may retain your Personal Data during the period of time needed for us to pursue our legitimate business interests, conduct audits, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, enforce our Terms of Use, to enforce our agreements, or to fulfill your request to “unsubscribe” from further messages from us.

Our Opt-in/Opt-out Policy

By providing an email address or other contact information on The Guardian Canary, LLC site, you agree that we may contact you in the event of a change in this Privacy Policy, to provide you with any service related notices, or to follow-up with you about alerts you may have received..

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “opt-in” is generally defined as any affirmative action by a user to submit or receive information, as the case may be.

We currently provide the following opt-out opportunities:

1. At any time, you can follow a link provided in offers, newsletters or other email messages (except for e-commerce confirmation or service notice emails) received from us to unsubscribe from the service.    
2. At any time, you can contact us through info@theguardiancanary.com  or the address provided below to unsubscribe from the service and opt-out of our right per your consent under the terms of this Privacy Policy to share your Personal Data. 

Notwithstanding anything else in this Privacy Policy, please note that we always reserve the right to contact you in the event of a change in this Privacy Policy, or to provide you with any service related notices.

Third Party Links

The site may contain links to webpages operated by parties other than The Guardian Canary,LLC. We do not control such websites and are not responsible for their content or the privacy policies or other practices of such websites. Our inclusion of links to such websites does not imply any endorsement of the material on such websites or any association with their operators. Further, it is up to the User to take precautions to ensure that whatever links the User selects or software the User downloads (whether from this site or other websites) is free of such items as viruses, worms, trojan horses, defects and other items of a destructive nature. These websites and services may have their own privacy policies, which the User will be subject to upon linking to the third party’s website. The Guardian Canary, LLC strongly recommends that each User review the third party’s terms and policies.

How We Protect Personal Data

The Guardian Canary, LLC maintains administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the User’s Personal Data and information against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account technological reality, cost, the scope, context and purposes of processing weighted against the severity and likelihood that the processing could threaten individual rights and freedoms.  For example, we use commercially reasonable security measures such as encryption, firewalls, and transport layer security (TLS) or hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) to protect Personal Data.  

If The Guardian Canary, LLC collects account information for payment or credit, The Guardian Canary, LLC will use the information only to complete the task for which the account information was offered.

Children

The site is not intended for use by children.  We do not intentionally gather Personal Data about visitors who are under the age of 13.  If a child has provided us with Personal Data, a parent or guardian of that child may contact us to have the information deleted from our records. If you believe that we might have any information from a child under age 13, please contact us at info@theguardiancanary.com.   If we learn that we have inadvertently collected the personal information of a child under 13, or equivalent minimum age depending on jurisdiction, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible. 

Direct Marketing and “Do Not Track” Signals

The Guardian Canary, LLC does not track its customers over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. However, some third party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such sites, your browser may include controls to block and delete cookies, web beacons and similar technologies, to allow you to opt out of data collection through those technologies.

California residents are entitled to contact us to request information about whether we have disclosed personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes.  We do not disclose personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. California customers may request further information about our compliance with this law by e-mailing us at the address listed in the “Contact Us” section.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent. We will post any privacy policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services or products, email notification or privacy policy changes). We will also keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy in an archive for your review.
