BRAND PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: 2012-09-10

We are Turquoise Morning Press ("Brand"), Turquoise Morning, LLC. This is our Privacy Policy ("Policy") and it describes our practices for the collection and use of information from visitors ("Users", "You" or "Your") who view, interact with and utilize the social engagement marketing offers accessed on Brand's Internet properties  (the "Site") or via an application accessible on your mobile device (and "App") (together, the "Services"), or when purchasing our products.

By using the Services, You expressly consent to the information handling practices described in this Policy. If You do not want information about You to be used in the manner set forth in this Policy, please do not use the Services.

This Policy is incorporated into and is subject to the Brand Terms of Service located at http://www.turquoisemorningpressbookstore.com/pages/brand-terms-of-service . Your use of the Services and any personal information You provide via the Services are subject to the terms of this Policy and Brand's Terms of Service.

INFORMATION COLLECTED:

"Personal Information," as used in this Policy, is information that specifically identifies an individual, such as an individual's name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address.  Personal information also includes information about an individual's activities, such as information about his or her activity on our Services, demographic information, such as date of birth, gender, location, and preferences, when any of this information is linked to personal information that identifies that individual.

Anonymous data is information (originally personally identifiable or non-personally identifiable) that subsequently is used in aggregate form. Although anonymous data may be based in part on personal data, it does not identify You personally. We and/or third parties that are providing services in connection with the Services may use anonymous data for a number of purposes, including targeting advertising, research or analysis on our Brand or User demographics, internet usage, and interests and behavior.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT           

Collection of Voluntarily-Provided Information

User Provided Information. We do not automatically collect personal information about You when you use the Services, unless you have previously consented to such collection, but when You use or visit the Services, or contact us by e-mail or other means for any reason, You may voluntarily provide personal information to us. Personal information may also be collected if You provide such information in connection with leaving comments, purchasing products, posting content, sending an email or message to another User or participating in any interactive features of the Services. If You use an App with a mobile device, we may have access to Your phone number, Unique Device Identifier or other device information that uniquely identifies individual smartphones or mobile devices.

Invitation Service.  If You use our invitation service or a third party service, such as Facebook or Twitter, to tell a friend about the Services, we may ask You for information needed to send the invitation, such as Your friend's email address.  We may automatically send Your friend a one-time email or text message inviting him or her to try the Service.  By providing email addresses of non-Users, You represent that You have the right to do so and that such information may also be provided to the third party service that You have designated to contact the non-User.  We store this information to send this one-time invitation, to register a friend if Your invitation is accepted, and to track the success of our invitation service.  Your friend may contact us at contact@turquoisemorning.com to request that we remove this information from our database.

Passively Collected Information

Automatically Collected Information. When You use the Services, some information is automatically collected, such as Your Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type, address of a referring Web site and Your activity on the Services. We treat this information as personal information if we combine it with any of the identifying information mentioned above. Otherwise, it is used in the aggregate only and is not considered by us to be subject to the restrictions in this Privacy Policy.

"Cookies" and Clear Gif Information. We or our partners may automatically collect certain information through the use of "cookies" and/or clear gifs. If we combine information collected through the use of cookies or clear gifs with any personal information, we would treat this information as personal information. If You wish to block, erase, or be warned of cookies, please refer to Your browser instructions or help screen to learn about these functions.  If a browser is set not to accept cookies or if a User rejects a cookie, some portions of the Services may not function properly.

Location Information.  The Service may offer features based on Your location.  You will be given the opportunity to opt out of location-based services.  If You choose to enable location-based services, we may collect Your location based on information provided by You or Your mobile device, including, if available, GPS, IP address or cell tower information.  If You choose to disable location-based services, You may not be able to utilize certain features of the Services.

Advertisers.  We may also use third parties to serve ads on the Services who may collect non-personal information.  This Policy does not apply to, we have no control over, and we are not responsible for, cookies and/or clear gifs in third party ads, and we encourage Users to check the privacy policies of advertisers and/or ad services to learn about their use of cookies and/or clear gifs and other technology.

Web Analytics.  We may use analytics tools to track how You get to our Services and to understand how You use the Services after You arrive, such as the coupons You view and redeem. Although this allows us to see and analyze Your movements around the Services, our systems do not provide a way for that information to be tied to any personal information You choose to give us.

Information from Other Sources

We may receive information about You, including personal information, from third parties and third party Web sites (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, etc.) ("Third Party Sites"), in accordance with the policies and terms of such Third Party Sites.  We may combine this information with other personal information we maintain about You and, if so, this Policy governs any combined information that we maintain in a personally identifiable format.

THE WAY WE USE AND DISCLOSE INFORMATION:       

We use personal information to process Your requests or transactions, to provide You with requested information or services, to inform You about other information, events, promotions, products or services we think will be of interest to You, to facilitate Your use of, and our administration and operation of, the Services, and for the purpose for which the information was provided.

We or our partners may use "cookies" or clear gif information for a number of reasons, including to: (a) remember Your information so that You will not have to re-enter it during Your visit or the next time You use the Services; (b) provide customized third-party advertisements, content, and information; (c) monitor the effectiveness of third-party marketing campaigns; (d) monitor aggregate site usage metrics such as total number of visitors and pages viewed; and (e) track Your entries, submissions, and status in any promotions or other activities.

We may share Your personal information with companies that provide services to us, including outside contractors or agents who help us manage our information activities, but we limit the personal information that is provided to these service providers to that which is reasonably necessary to provide us with a specific service and we require them to maintain the confidentiality of the personal information.

If we receive information from third parties with whom we have business relationships, we may combine this information with the other personal information we maintain about You.  In such case, this Policy governs this combined information.

We may disclose personal information in the good faith belief that we are lawfully authorized or required to do so, respond to any claims, or to protect the rights, property or safety of the Services, our Users, our employees or the public, including without limitation to protect us or our Users from fraudulent, abusive, inappropriate or unlawful use of the Services.

Information You post in Your public profile and to other interactive areas of the Services will be available to other Users and in some cases may be publicly available and You provide that information at Your sole risk.  Even after information posted on the Services is removed, caching and archiving services may have saved that information and other Users or third parties may have copied or stored the information.

We may disclose personal information in connection with the reorganization, reincorporation, acquisition, debt financing, merger, sale of our relevant assets or business or similar transaction, as well as in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which personal information is transferred to one or more third parties as one of our business assets.

We may use the location information that You provide or that we collect to provide content and services to You based on Your location. 

We use all of the information that You provide or that we collect and/or aggregate to understand and analyze the usage trends, interests, and preferences of our Users, to improve the way the Services work and look and to create new features and functionality.

HOW WE PROTECT INFORMATION:       

We use commercially reasonable safeguards to preserve the security of Your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information You transmit to us, and You do so at Your own risk and this is not a guarantee that such information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.  If we learn of a security breach, then we may attempt to notify You electronically through the contact information that You have provided to us. We may also post a notice on the App and/or the Site if a security breach occurs.  Depending on where You live, You may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing.

CHOICES YOU HAVE REGARDING THE USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION:          

You may decline to share Your personal information, in which case we will not be able to provide to You some of the features and functionality found in the Services, including providing you with coupons.

You may opt out of receiving promotional and marketing materials by emailing us at contact@turquoisemorning.com, or by indicating you wish to opt-out when asked while purchasing our products. However, this shall not affect our ability to send You emails related to Your use of the Services and to use Your personal information as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.  It may take up to ten business days for us to process Your "opt out" and You may receive commercial email from us during that period.

THIRD PARTY SITES:         

The Services may be linked to Third Party Sites or third party products or services that we do not own or operate.  If You choose to visit or use any Third Party Sites or third party products or services, please be aware that this Policy will not apply to any information You disclose while using Third Party Site, third party products or services or otherwise interacting with third parties.  We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these Third Party Sites and third party services.  Additionally, the Services may contain links to Web sites and services that we operate but that are governed by different privacy policies.  We encourage You to carefully review the privacy policies applicable to any Web site or service You visit other than the Services before providing any personal information on them.

We may permit Users with accounts on certain Third Party Sites (including social networking, search and sharing) to bypass certain standard processes on our Services.  If You connect to our Services through an authorized Third Party Site, You may be able to use Your third party login information to use our Services, and You may be able to publish Your comments and any other activity on our Services to the Third Party Site.  We are not responsible for the sharing, posting, commenting, or other content and information-gathering practices on any Third Party Site.  Please review their terms of service and privacy policies carefully before using their services and connecting to our Services.

By using any Third Party Site to use our Services, or otherwise connecting to any Third Party Site, You permit us to access and use all information related to Your account on the Third Party Site that may be accessible to us through the Third Party Site pursuant to this Policy.  To limit or control the information that is available to us through such Third Party Site, or to disconnect the Third Party Site from our Services, You should check (and, if applicable, modify) the applicable settings on the Third Party Site.

OUR COMMITMENT TO CHILDREN'S PRIVACY:        

Unless otherwise specifically indicated, our Services are not directed to persons under 18 years-of-age and we do not knowingly collect or maintain personal information from persons under 18 years-of-age.  If we discover, or You notify us at contact@turquoisemorning.com, that a child under the age of 18 has used the Services and/or provided personal information on the Services without providing verifiable parental consent, then we will take the appropriate steps to delete this information.

INTERNATIONAL VISITORS:      

Our Services are hosted in the United States and generally are intended for United States visitors. If You visit from the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from United States law, please be aware that You are transferring personal information to the United States.  The United States does not have the same data protection laws as the European Union and other jurisdictions. By providing personal information to us, You consent to the transfer of it to the United States and the use of it in accordance with this Policy and applicable law.

CHANGES AND UPDATES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY:        

This Policy may be revised periodically and this will be reflected by a "Last Updated" date above. We may not notify You of any changes to this Policy except by posting a new privacy policy. Please revisit this page to stay aware of any changes.  Your continued use of the Services constitutes Your agreement to this Policy and any future revisions.  However, if we change this Policy in a manner that is materially less restrictive of our use or disclosure of Your personal information, we will use reasonable efforts to notify You of the change and to obtain Your consent prior to applying the change to any personal information that we collected from You prior to the date the change becomes effective.
