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 Services 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. iAlert.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 an 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 iAlert.com's
Policy Manager.
Information Retention
To preserve the integrity of website databases iAlert.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 Collection and Use
iAlert.com will only require personally identifiable 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
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.
Third-Party Companies Serving Ads
We allow third-party companies to serve ads and/or collect certain anonymous information when you visit our
web site. These companies may use non-personally identifiable information (e.g., click stream information,
browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over) during your visits to this
and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater
interest to you. These companies typically use a cookie or third party web beacon to collect this
information. To learn more about this behavioral advertising practice or to opt-out of this type of
advertising, you can visit networkadvertising.org.
Cookies and Tracking
Cookies are pieces of data stored by your web browser containing information related to your usage of
iAlert services. They are most often used to quickly and easily connect you with your iAlert.com account
information and do not contain personally identifiable information. They may also be used to estimate
iAlert.com's audience size for advertisers, to track the number of entries in iAlert.com promotions,
sweepstakes and contests, to identify the areas of the site you visit, to hold session information and to
track your user preferences. In addition, iAlert Services LLC allows third-party advertisers on our site to
place or recognize cookies on your browser. Such cookies are subject to that organization's Privacy Policy
and are not covered by iAlert.com's Policy. For privacy information related to this usage consult the
website and privacy policies of the advertiser in question. Using browser settings you can accept all
cookies, reject all cookies, or request to be notified when a website attempts to place a cookie. Please
be aware that automatically rejecting all cookies may compromise the ease and convenience of your
iAlert.com experience. We use a third party ad-serving technology to deliver ads on this website.
Information about your visit to this site, such as the number of times you have viewed an ad (but not your
name, address, or other personal information), is used to determine what ads to show you. In the course of
serving advertisements to this site, the third-party ad serving technology may place or recognize a unique
cookie on your browser. For more information about our third-party ad server, cookies, and how to
"opt out," please contact google.com and iAlert.com. iAlert.com employs a software technology called clear
gifs to help better manage the content of html emails. Clear gifs are small graphics with a unique
identifier which serve a similar function to cookies. Clear gifs are invisible on the page and very small
but allow iAlert.com to track which emails are opened by recipients. This allows iAlert Services LLC to
gauge the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. The clear gifs are not used in conjunction with other user
information that is stored by iAlert.com.
IP Addresses
Your web browser automatically reports your current IP address each time you access a web page. Your IP
address may be stored in iAlert.com's database when you register. iAlert.com may use your IP address to
quickly address tech and usage concerns reported by our members, to tailor our advertising to specific
geographic areas, to estimate the number of visitors from geographic areas and to uniquely identify iAlert
visitors to aid in enforcement of our conduct policies.
Logging of User Information
Your browser automatically transmits information to the web sites you visit, including iAlert.com. Such
information may include referral data (what webpage sent you to iAlert.com) IP addresses and your browser
version. iAlert.com collects this information to help us improve our services and moderate the site. All
information automatically submitted by your browser is anonymous. iAlert.com also logs the information you
submit through registration, forms for optional programs, surveys and other entries, cookie data and
communications transmitted through iAlert.com applications. Only authorized iAlert.com staff members have
access to your information in its entirety. Other iAlert.com staff may have access to portions of this
information as required by their duties.
Information Security, Editing and Deletion
iAlert.com members may change their account and profile information at any time, with the exception of
Birth Dates, which must be verified by staff members to comply with our age policy. When appropriate,
users' transmissions to iAlert.com may be encrypted to provide information security. Please note that
while users may delete any information in their accounts, that information and the account itself may be
kept intact on iAlert.com servers for an indefinite period to ensure database integrity.
Notification of Changes
iAlert.com's security and privacy policy are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary. In the event
that this Privacy Policy is updated, iAlert.com will post notification if there is any material change in
its privacy practices. Users are encouraged to review the Policy periodically.
Staff Contact
iAlert.com Policy Manager will respond to all requests sent through mail or email from members and parents
interested in knowing more about what personal information is stored in the iAlert.com database, or if they
want their personal information nullified, or have additional questions regarding privacy.
