Non-Personally Identifiable Information (including “Cookies” and “Pixel Tags”)

Through your use of our Services, we may also collect certain types of non-personally identifiable information from you (“NPII”). Importantly, NPII is not associated with you as an individual. More specifically, NPII is measured anonymously and only in the aggregate. During a normal, regular visit to our websites, no personal information is collected. We may, however, collect certain information that does not identify you, such as information from your computer’s web browser, or other information about the aggregate number of visits to a specific web page. This might also include cookies, which are tiny data tags that track where you go, and help navigate you back to other pages. This information also helps us see which pages require attention.

Let’s talk in more detail about cookies. As mentioned above, our websites may use cookies. A cookie is a small piece of information, a tiny data tag as mentioned above, sent by a website that is saved on your computer’s hard drive by your computer’s browser. These cookies help us remember you when you come back to the websites. Cookies also contain information to enhance and personalize your experience and to collect websites statistical data, such as which websites pages are visited, the ISP’s (Internet Service Provider’s) domain name and the URL addresses of the websites you visited immediately before coming to and immediately after leaving the websites. The information in these cookies lets us track your “clickstream” activity (i.e., the paths as taken by users of the websites as they move or “click” around from page to page) to allow us to better serve our users by revealing to us which portions of the websites are the most popular or visited. Importantly, cookies do not contain Personal Information. To assist, you may disable cookie settings on your browser. Please visit your browser’s help instructions to learn how to do so.

We may also use “pixel tags” (sometimes also referred to as “web beacons” or “clear gifs”), which are tiny graphic images, on the websites. These pixel tags help us analyze Users’ online websites behavior and measure the effectiveness of the websites and our marketing and advertising. We may also use other types of analytical tools to evaluate our websites performance using aggregated data which, importantly, contains no Personal Information. We work with other service providers that help us collect, track, and analyze this information.

Cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, and / or other analytical type tools that we might use on our websites may collect information about your visit, including the web pages you view, the various features you use, any links you click, and other actions you take in regards to the websites. This data may include your computer’s Internet protocol (IP) address, your operating system, your web browser type, date and time information, and other technical information about your computer. We may also track certain other information about the identity of the websites you visited just prior to coming to the websites. We do not otherwise track any information about your use of other websites.

We may use cookies, pixel tags, and/or other analytical tools in our emails to track how you interact with those messages, such as when you receive, open, or click on a link contained in an email message from us. 

We may also work with some businesses that use certain tracking technologies to send advertisements on our behalf across the Internet. These businesses may collect information about your visits to the websites and your interactions with our advertising, marketing, and other communications, but, importantly, no Personal Information is shared with them.

We may also combine the NPII collected through cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, and other analytical tools with other information we may have gathered from you. This data may be used to improve our Services and websites, to personalize your online experience, to determine the effectiveness of advertising, to help us deliver information to you, and for other internal business purposes.

Do Not Track Signals

Currently, our websites do not respond to a web browser’s Do-Not-Track signals. 

Your Security is Important

We try our best, and strive to keep your Personal Information safe, secure, and private. We have implemented commercially reasonable electronic, physical, and administrative steps to maintain the security of Personal Information collected. Some of our steps include limiting the number of people who have physical access to database servers, as well as utilizing electronic security systems, as well as certain password protections that guard against unauthorized access.

Unfortunately, despite our earnest efforts, the transmission of personal information and other data over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% safe and secure. While we strive to use every reasonable means to ensure the security of information you transmit through the Services, we cannot promise or guarantee that such personal information and other data will not be intercepted by third parties. We will, however, to the best of our ability, prosecute any fraudulent or unauthorized transactions to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Links to Other websites

While visiting the websites or using the mobile application, you may link to websites operated by certain third parties; or you may have come to our websites using a link found on another website. This does not, in any way, mean that we endorse, support, or otherwise approve of these websites or the goods or services they might provide. We do not make any warranties or representations about any site that may be linked to our websites. Such other websites are wholly independent of us, and we have no control whatsoever over, or the responsibility for, their information, products or activities.

In addition, our privacy practices may be different from those of these other linked websites. If you provide Personal Information or data at one of those websites, you are subject to the privacy policy of the websites operator, not our Privacy Policy. Please be sure you understand the other site’s privacy policy prior to providing Personal Information.

Opt-Out

You will receive email messages from us only if you have consented to receive them. If you do not want to receive these email messages from us you may click on the “unsubscribe” link you can locate at the bottom of any email message sent by us to you. Kindly allow us ten (10) business days from when the request was received by us to complete the removal, because some of our promotions may already have been in process prior to your submitted request. Be advised, as long as you have an account with us we will continue to email you administrative information related to your use of our service. These service-related email messages, generated during our ordinary course of business, will continue as long as you have a user account, even if you asked not to receive any commercial emails.

Spoofing and Phishing

Common Internet scams are known as “spoofing” or “phishing.” These types of scams occur when you receive an email from what appears to you to be a legitimate source requesting Personal Information or other data from you. Please be aware that we will never send you any emails requesting you to verify any Personal Information. If you do receive an email that appears to be from us requesting such data or personal information from you, DO NOT respond to the email, and DO NOT click on any links present in the email. Instead, please immediately forward the email to us at www.bedsidechats.com/contact as we will investigate instances of possible Internet fraud.

Children and Privacy

The Services are only meant for those individuals that are 18 and older. You can only use the service if you are 18 and older. The Services are not meant for children, and we will not knowingly collect any Personal Data from children under the age of 13 without receiving verified parental consent. We will remove from our files any Personal Data of anyone we discover to be under 13 years old. We are concerned about the safety of all children when they use the Internet, and we understand that children may not comprehend all the provisions within our Privacy Policy or be able to make informed decisions about the choices that are made available to adult users of the websites.

Disclosure of Personal Information for Legal Purposes

By using the Services, you hereby authorize us to disclose any of your Personal Information pursuant to administrative and judicial proceedings as well as to law enforcement or other government agencies if we believe the disclosure is appropriate or necessary. You also authorize and consent to the disclosure of Personal Information if we deem the disclosure appropriate or necessary in the event of an investigation of illegal or improper conduct in connection with the Services, such as misrepresentation, fraud, intellectual property infringement, or other activity that may put us at risk for liability.

Non-Confidential Information

We ask that you do not send us any proprietary or confidential information through email or otherwise. Any materials, information, suggestions, comments or ideas sent to us will be considered non-confidential, and by submitting them to us, you are granting us the absolute right to use, modify, transmit, reproduce, distribute and display the proprietary or confidential information for any purpose whatsoever, with no payment or other compensation to you. However, be advised we will not use your name unless we are compelled by law to identify the origin of the information, materials, suggestions, comments, or ideas, or unless we first obtain your permission.
