Nuspire, LLC (“Nuspire,” “Us,” or “We”) recognizes that privacy is important, and we want to be clear with you about our privacy practices. This Privacy Policy describes how Nuspire collects, uses and shares information collected from you through your use of Nuspire’s websites (like www.nuspire.com, trax.nuspire.com and other websites that reference this Privacy Policy, collectively referred to as the “Sites”) and the services offered through the Sites (the “Services”).

HOW NUSPIRE COLLECTS INFORMATION AND THE TYPES OF INFORMATION COLLECTED

Any time you use Nuspire’s Sites or Services, information is generated. Some of this information is considered “Personal Information,” meaning information that either directly identifies you individually (like your name, address, email, or billing information) or could reasonably be used to identify you in combination with other data.  Other information is considered “Anonymous Information,” meaning information that does not directly identify, and cannot reasonably be linked with other data to identify you individually.

Nuspire collects information from you in the following ways:

A. YOU GIVE IT TO US

When you visit or use our Sites or use our Services, you may provide us with information. For example, when downloading a Nuspire whitepaper or submitting a support ticket, we will prompt you to provide us with your name, physical address, email address and phone number.

B.  WE RECEIVE IT FROM THIRD PARTIES

Nuspire engages with thirdparty vendors to try to determine new customers who might be interested in Nuspire’s services.  In such instances, third parties may give Nuspire your name and contact information.

C.  WE AUTOMATICALLY COLLECT IT FROM YOU

While visiting our Sites or using our Services, we may automatically collect information from you through the use of cookies, web server logs, and other mechanisms.  For example, when you visit a Site, we automatically collect device identifiers (e.g., device model, operating system, browser version, and other data that may be used to identify a device), IP addresses, device configurations, browser history, information about Site usage, and geographic location data.

NOTE ON CROSS BORDER TRANSFERS:  Nuspire has established a global network presence and may process information on our servers in many countries around the world, including the United States. You agree that we may process information on a server located outside the country where you reside.

NOTE ON CHILDREN’S PERSONAL INFORMATION: Nuspire does not knowingly collect any personal information (as defined under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) from children under the age of 13.  If we learn that we have collected or received personal from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information.  If you believe that we might have such information, please contact us at the contact information provided below.

NOTE ON COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGY: Nuspire uses cookies and web beacons to automatically collect information in connection with your use of the Sites and Services. “Cookies” are small files that are placed on an individual’s computer when you interact with the Sites or Services.  Cookies are often used to enable you to more easily communicate and interact with the Sites and Services. “Web beacons” (also known as “single-pixel” or “clear” GIFs) include electronic images embedded in the Site or in communications sent through the Services which are invisible to users. Web beacons collect information, such as identifiers, time and date of access, and descriptions of the pages or communications in which the web beacons are embedded. We may use cookies or web beacons on the Sites or in communications sent through the Services for various purposes, including for example: Saving user preferences; Customizing content of the Site for individual users; Ensuring that users are not repeatedly sent the same banner ads; Recording session information; Fraud prevention; Saving certain information about users of the Sites and others who visit the Sites; Keeping track of whether you’ve had a chance to open an email or view an advertisement; and Otherwise facilitating and enhancing interaction with the Sites.

Nuspire may contract with third party service providers who also may also use cookies or web beacons in connection with the Sites or communications regarding the Services.  For example, Nuspire uses Google Analytics to get aggregated information on our Site’s performance (you can learn more about how Google uses data when you use our Sites by visiting www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/).  Similarly, we may use an outside advertisement serving company to display advertisements on the Site or in communications sent through the Services. The advertisement serving company may place and collect cookies or web beacons when it displays an advertisement on the Site or through the Services.  The information these third parties collect may be associated with other information about you, or they may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services.  We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used.

HOW NUSPIRE USES AND SHARES INFORMATION

Nuspire uses your information for a variety of purposes related to provisioning, maintaining and improving the Sites and Services, as well as for developing new services. For example, Nuspire uses your information to administer your account, provide technical support and to communicate with you about your account.  Nuspire also uses your information to send you new and exciting information about Nuspire. Other than as described above, Nuspire does not use your Personal Information, nor does it share your personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of Nuspire, unless one of the following circumstances apply:

Nuspire has your express consent. It is for Nuspire’s internal use, research and product development; It is for domain registration in accordance with the RAA and ICANN policies. (Please see Domain Registration section below for more information regarding our treatment of Personal Information in connection with our domain name registration services.) It is for external processing by our affiliates or other trusted third parties we use to support our business based on our instructions or other appropriate confidentiality and security measures (for example, companies that help Nuspire improve its web site’s usability or understand customer interests); or It is to detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or other legal related issues. Note that Nuspire may share Anonymous Information with third parties.  Nuspire may also share Personal Information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of Nuspire if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to: meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request; enforce applicable agreements or adherence to terms and conditions, including investigation of potential violations; and protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Nuspire, our users, third parties or the public as required or permitted by law.

If Nuspire is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, we will continue to ensure the confidentiality of any Personal Information and give affected users notice before Personal Information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Nuspire does not sell or license your Personal Information to a third-party for that third party’s own direct marketing purposes.

YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES & TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES.

You may also be able to refuse certain web beacons by adjusting the settings on your browser or email software.

ACCESSING AND CORRECTING YOUR INFORMATION.

Should you wish to access, amend, correct, or delete any Personal Information about you, please contact info@Nuspire.com.  Nuspire will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to such requests within thirty days, except where the burden or expense of providing access or requested changes would be disproportionate to the risks to your privacy in the case in question.

As such, you agree that Nuspire will not be liable for any inability to provide all or a portion of the Services that may result from Nuspire’s compliance with any request to amend, correct or delete any of your Personal Information.

Nuspire is accountable for personal data received under the Privacy Shield and that is subsequently transferred to a third party as described in the Privacy Shield Principles.  Nuspire remains responsible and liable under the Privacy Shield Principles if Nuspire’s third party agents process the personal data on Nuspire’s behalf in a manner inconsistent with the Principles, unless Nuspire proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

We encourage you to contact us should you have privacy-related questions or complaints.  Our contact information is below in the “How to Contact Us” section.  As further explained in the Privacy Shield Principles, a binding arbitration option will also be made available to you in order to address residual complaints not resolved by any other means.

SECURITY

Nuspire has implemented policies that include administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to help protect Personal Information against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
