On occasion we use email address or other contact information to contact our Users to ask them for their input on our services.

We may also use personal information about you to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to analyze Site usage, to improve our content and product offerings, and to customize the Site’s content, layout, and services. These uses improve the Site and better tailor it to meet your needs, so as to provide you with a smooth, efficient, safe and customized experience while using the Site.

What Information Do We Collect?

Our primary purpose in collecting personal information from you is to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. This allows us to provide services and features that most likely meet your needs, and to customize our service to make your experience safer and easier. We only collect personal information about you that we consider necessary for achieving this purpose.

In general, you can browse the Site without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. Once you become a User, we require you to provide various contact and identity information, billing information, and other personal information as indicated on the relevant forms on the Site (which vary, depending on what kind of User you are), and you are no longer anonymous to us. Where possible, on these forms we indicate which fields are required and which fields are optional.

In addition, as you use the Site, you can from time to time enter or send to us personal information. For example, if you are a Subscriber, you can enter your own profile, profile notes and other billing information, and if you are a Customer you can report restroom issues to a Subscriber or answer survey questions created by a Subscriber. As you use the Site you can also from time to time enter personal information about third parties. For example, if you are a Subscriber, you can enter personal information about your Customers or your staff.

You always have the option to not provide information by choosing not to become a User or by not using the particular feature of the Site for which the information is being collected.

We also automatically track certain information about you based upon your behavior on our Site. We use this information to do internal research on our users’ demographics, interests, and Site usage to better understand, protect and serve you and our community. This information may include the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on our Site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on our Site or not), your computer browser information, and your IP address.

“Cookies” are small files placed on your hard drive that assist us in providing our services. We use cookies to allow you to enter your password less frequently during a session, and we use data collection devices (such as Google Analytics), including cookies, on certain pages of the Site to help analyze our web page flow, measure promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and safety, to offer certain features that are only available through the use of a cookie and to allow us to provide information that is targeted to your interests. We link the information we store in our cookies to personally identifiable information you submit when you create a Restroom Alert account. We may use third-party services to assist us in monitoring your use of the Site. Information collected by these cookies is also governed by this privacy policy.

Following your registration on the Site, you can review and change your information in your account area. If you disclose personal information in any posting in our blog and wish to have it removed, please contact us at the support contact information listed below, and posted on the Site.

We also use Google, as a third party vendor, to serve Restroom Alert ads on other websites. Google uses what it calls a “DART cookie” to enable it to serve ads to users based on their visits to participating websites. As a result of our use of Google as a vendor and the use of DART cookies, the ads that you will be served on the Internet may in some cases be based on your visit to our Site. You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google site here.

Our Disclosure of Your Information

We will share your personal information with third parties only in the ways that are described in this privacy statement. We do not sell your personal information to third parties. The following describes some of the ways that your information may be disclosed in the normal scope of business to provide our services:

Subscribers and Customers, Etc. In the normal operation of the Site Subscriber contact and profile information (including information entered by “staff” members), and only non-identifiable Customer information is disclosed to the applicable Subscriber (no Customer cell numbers are disclosed to Subscribers without express Customer permission). In general, information you enter on the Site is available to the other persons – whether they are Customers, Subscribers, staff members or others – to whom you give access to your account or to whom you give access to the information through the normal operation of the Site.

Payment Information. We use credit card and other payment information (such as PayPal email addresses) you submit to us on the Site to process payments you make through the Site. We do not store credit card or other payment method information. In all cases financial institutions (like PayPal, Authorize.net and PSiGate) have the sole and complete responsibility for the storage of credit card and payment information.

Anonymized Aggregated Data. We aggregate and anonymize Alert, Room Check and other reporting information including (but not limited to) industry type, organization type, number of alerts received, reminders sent, alert response times, room check parameters, make-good offers sent, coupon redemption rates, and disclose such information in a non-personally identifiable manner to Subscribers. However, in these situations, we do not disclose any information that could be used to identify you personally.

Blog. If you post on our blog your username and other information you include is displayed in your postings or comments, and is therefore available to the public. All of your activities in the public areas of the blog will be identifiable to your User ID, and other people can see your published content.

Subsidiaries and Affiliates; Service Providers. We may from time to time use the services of affiliates, subsidiaries and unrelated service providers in the operation of the Site, and may disclose personal information to them in the course of our use of their services. For example, we may use the services of third-party hosting companies to host the operation of the Site. This may involve the hosting of data, including personal information, on servers operated by those hosting companies. We take care to use only service providers that we believe are reputable and able to live up to our and your expectations, including about the handling of confidential information. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

Legal Requests; Emergencies. Restroom Alert may disclose your personal information (a) to any governmental authority as part of an investigation to determine our compliance with any applicable law, rule, or regulation (including privacy laws, rules, and regulations), (b) in response to a court order, subpoena, discovery request, or other lawful judicial or administrative proceeding, (c) as otherwise required under any applicable law, rule, or regulation, and (d) in good faith, to protect or defend the rights or property of Restroom Alert and other users.

Your Use of Other Persons’ Information

In order to facilitate the services provided by the Site, the Site allows you in certain circumstances to give other Users limited access to the personal information of other persons. For example, if you are a Subscriber, you may use the Site to give access to a staff member to the personal information of your Customers (provided your Customer has authorized such use and disclosure). By entering into our Terms of Use, you agree that, with respect to the personal information of other persons that you collect, use and disclose on the Site, you have all necessary consents and rights to collect, use and disclose that information as described in this Privacy Policy from time to time, and you agree that the indemnity you give to us in the Terms of Use applies to any non-compliance by you with the foregoing.

If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend or business associate about our site, we will ask you for your friend’s or associate’s name and email address. We will automatically send your referral a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site. Restroom Alert stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the success of our referral program. Your friend or business associate may contact us at info@RestroomAlert.com to request that we remove this information from our database.

Security

Restroom Alert strives to protect your personal information. For security of transactions, we use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, which encrypts any information, such as credit card number and billing information, you send to us electronically. The encryption process protects your information, by scrambling it before it is sent to us from your computer. Once Restroom Alert receives your transmission, we make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our system. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. More information about security is available on the Site and in our Terms of Use.

Other Information Collectors

Except as otherwise expressly included in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose your information to other parties through the Site, whether they are Subscribers or Customers or otherwise, different rules may apply to their use, collection and disclosure of the personal information you disclose to them. Since we do not control the information use, collection or disclosure policies of third parties, you are subject to their privacy policies. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.

Correcting and Updating Your Personal Information

To review and update your personal information to ensure it is accurate, you may login into your account to make the changes, or you may contact us at info@RestroomAlert.com.

Additional Policy Information

Invitations: You have the opportunity to invite others to work with you through your Restroom Alert account. To do that, Restroom Alert asks you to import or to manually enter your contacts’ email addresses. As you direct, we then send them an invitation on your behalf or other notices reflecting changes you make to their status in your account.

If you click on a link to a third-party site, you will leave the Restroom Alert site and go to the site you selected. If you elect to use a third-party product or service in conjunction with Restroom Alert, you yourself enter into a license agreement with the third party for use of their product or service and their use of your data. Because we cannot control the activities of third parties, we cannot accept responsibility for any use of your personally identifiable information by such third parties, and we cannot guarantee that they will adhere to the same privacy practices as Restroom Alert. We encourage you to review the privacy statements of any other service provider from whom you request services. If you visit a third party website that is linked to a Restroom Alert site, you should read that site’s privacy statement before providing any personally identifiable information.

With your consent we may post your testimonial along with your name. If you want your testimonial removed please contact us at info@RestroomAlert.com.

Account Deletion

Restroom Alert is a complex business network that potentially connects thousands of users. Restroom Alert manages a business eco system that brings together many companies and customers. This network relies on the exchange and sharing of information that is important to others in your network. Sent Alerts, tracked text messages, sent invoices, paid invoices, contractor invoices are all vital to other people that work with you. These are the official history of your account’s activity.

The complexity and connected nature of the system requires that this history exists in perpetuity to accommodate proper function and accounting for alerts, messages, locations, restroom profiles, and other tracking information. Restroom Alert cannot guarantee the deletion of all your information.

When a Subscriber chooses to close an account we will remove your information from our marketing and billing systems. This will ensure that there are not further mailings or billings directed towards the canceled user.

This document will evolve as these new methods are defined and tested for permanent account deletion. Users wishing to be notified when this development is complete can indicate their wishes via info@RestroomAlert.com.

Notification of Privacy Statement Changes

We may update this privacy statement to reflect changes to our information practices. If we make any material changes we will notify you by email (sent to the e-mail address specified in your account) or by means of a notice on this Site prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.
