Privacy Policy
Updated: March 31, 2017
- Policy
Overview
This Privacy Policy pertains to the use of the iAlert.com website. Safeguarding your privacy is serious
business. That's why iAlert.com privacy policy is simple: iAlert.com will
not disclose, sell or rent any personally identifiable information
without the user's proper consent except as provided in this
statement. The iAlert.com user is given final word on whether or
not to share such information with iAlert.com. Please use discretion,
because iAlert.com cannot be held accountable for the use, collection
or distribution of personal information freely provided by
members with any of our tools, including profiles. Be aware that information provided
spontaneously by the user in such ways is not under the control
of iAlert Servicess LLC and might be observed, collected or utilized by third-party
agencies and organizations. If a member were to post a phone
number in their profile (as an example) we cannot be held
accountable for the consequences. For questions or concerns
about iAlert Services LLC information practices, contact the iAlert.com Policy
Manager as provided at the end of this policy.
- Age
Policy
iAlert.com is intended for users age 13 or older. iAlerts.com's registration
process is intentionally designed for such an audience and
we will not knowingly collect any information from children
under 13. Because of this age limit, this privacy policy makes
no provision for children's use of iAlert.com. If you are a parent
or become aware of a child registered under the age of 13
please notify iAlert.com's Policy Manager as provided at the end
of this policy.
- Note
to Parents
If your child is under 13 and has become a iAlert.com member using
a false age, please notify the Policy Manager who will immediately
close the account and nullify all personally identifiable
information provided by them. If your child is under the age
of 18 and you would like to know more about our site, information
practices, stored information on your child, or how to close
your child's account, contact iAlerts.com's Policy Manager.
- Information
Retention
To preserve the integrity of website databases iAlerts.com's procedure
is to retain information submitted by members for an indefinite
length of time. By submitting information to iAlert.com you are consenting
to store that information indefinitely. If required by law,
such as the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA,)
iAlert.com will scramble and/or encrypt that information to make
it unrecognizable. iAlert.com will also respond to written member
requests to scramble account information. If you wish to make
such a request, which will require you to verify your identity,
contact the iAlert.com Policy Manager.
- Information

at the time of registration or inside membership account for select services. This might include email address,
phone number, birth date, zip or postal code and the country of
residence. This information is used to identify you as a unique
user within iAlert.com or by the parent company iAlert Services LLC and will not be shared with any other party
without your consent and notification. Information
about members that is not personally identifiable may be used
anonymously for purposes of advertising, demographic collection,
market research data, anonymous reporting and to better tailor
iAlert.com's content to the user's needs. This type of information
will not include any data that identifies members as an individual,
such as email address, home address or telephone number. If
the user provides such information as part of an optional
promotion, contest, survey or similar program they are subject
to the separate privacy rules and expectations of each individual
program. In addition to on-site advertising, iAlert.com may advertise
products, companies and events that we think might interest
you through the email address you provide. The user is always able to ask
iAlert.com not to contact them with such information again. The user
will not be included in promotions, contests, submission opportunities,
solicitations or other programs unless they opt-in. If you
receive unsolicited email from a iAlert.com, please contact
the iAlert.com Policy Manager, as iAlert.com does not wish to provide users
with unwanted information. Please note that iAlert.com may be required
to share information with relevant authorities in order to
investigate, prevent or enforce suspected or confirmed illegal
activities, including with no limitation: fraud, threat or
potential threat to the physical safety of any person, violation
of iAlert.com's Terms of Service and/or User Agreement or as otherwise
permitted or required by law. iAlert.com may also be required to
disclose such information in order to comply with subpoenas,
warrants, court orders or legal process or to establish or
exercise iAlert Services LLC legal rights or defend against legal claims
