Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us at 1703 Media (“Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). As such, we have a few fundamental principles:

  1. We don’t and won’t ask you for personally identifying information unless we truly need it. To make this Privacy Policy easier to read, 1703media.com, and our products and services are collectively called the “Services” throughout this policy.
  2. We don’t share your personally identifying information, with anyone, except as needed, to provide service support, to comply with applicable law, or to protect our rights.
  3. You are in control of the information you share through the Services and any customer data you provide is your responsibility. As part of our Terms of Service, we require that you respect other users of our services and your own customer’s rights to privacy in the same manner you’d require your data to be respected.

The Services may not require you to enter any information to view; however, to access or otherwise utilize certain features of the Services, you will be asked to create an account. If you create an account, certain limited information which generally includes personal information will be required to deliver the services to you. Such information shall be governed by this policy.

Please note, that this Privacy Policy does not apply to the privacy practices of third parties whose links and retail products may appear on or through the Services. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third parties. We recommend that you exercise caution before you voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information to other users or through third-party links on third-party websites or platforms.

Who Does this Privacy Policy Apply To?

This Privacy Policy applies to Users who have created an account and accepted our Terms of Use, as well as those who are viewing our Services and neither created an account nor accepted our Terms of Use. Collectively throughout this policy we use the term “you” to reference each type of user who interacts with us.

We process the following types of data in accordance with this policy:

  1. Name and email address for Users (or prospective Users) of our services; this includes inputs provided during account creation or the contact us form.
  2. Technical data associated with the users who interact with our application through the Services we provide to customers. The data generally excludes personally identifiable information.
  3. Our production data is processed and hosted in the United States on a self serve platform.
Collection of Data and Use of Information. 

1. Account Creation.

To use or otherwise access certain products and Services, you will need to set up an account in accordance with our Terms of Use. To set up an account, we will require certain identifying information, such as name and email that will be linked to your account. This information will be governed by the Policy.

2. Email Addresses.

We do not and will not send spam, sell, or rent your email address or any social media logins to third parties. We do not disclose, sell, share, trade or give away a user’s personal information to third parties, except where a user has otherwise opted-in to marketing (see below), if applicable.

3. Marketing.

We may contact you with marketing and promotional information (in accordance with your marketing preferences) about any services that we offer and to send you information regarding us. See below on contacting us to modify or delete your information.  

4. Logging Statistics.

Like most website and browser extension operators, our servers automatically collect certain types of non-personally identifying, technical information, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. This includes information such as:

  • What portions of our website you access;
  • How long you stay for; and
  • What kind of device you’re using
  • What services you prefer accessing
  • How you use the services and related usage information

We use this information to better understand how our visitors use our website and browser extension and to improve and maintain our Services.

5. Location Information & IP Addresses.

We collect very limited personal data.  If you fill out a form or create an account with your name and email address, we do link the IP address and device information to you. Additionally, we collect IP address and convert it to location for (1) security monitoring (2) supporting some features, such as IP whitelisting, country level location whitelisting, and (3) delivering location-based help and website details.

6. Locale Preferences and Device Information.

When you use our Services, we may automatically collect certain information from your device, its software, and your activity using our Services. This may include information you search for on our website, locale preferences, identification numbers associated with your devices, your mobile carrier, date and time stamps associated with transactions, metadata, your Internet Service Provider, files viewed on our site, operating system, and clickstream data.

7. Data Aggregation.

In addition to the other uses described in this policy, you agree that we may extract and use information from the information you disclose for the purposes of aggregating data in a non-identifiable method. This aggregated data may be used internally to improve services or without limitation, to develop, analyze, combine, or publish the aggregated data for commercial purposes.

8. Cookies.

Your use of certain services may result in the assignment and storage of session cookies and analytics tools to recognize your access privileges and generally track user preferences. A cookie is a text file that is placed on the hard disk of your computer or mobile device by a server. Session cookies expire when you end your session and close your browser interface. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer or mobile device. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers or mobile devices should deny Cookies by configuring their respective browsers to do so. If Cookies are denied, certain features of our Services may not function properly.

9. How We Share Your Information.

We take all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally identifying information.

We disclose potential personally identifying information only on an as needed (or required) basis as follows:

  • To employees that: (i) need to know that information in order to process it on our behalf or to provide the services; and (ii) that have expressly agreed not to disclose it to others. Note* Some of those employees, and contractors may be located outside of your home country; by using the services you consent to the transfer of such information to them.
  • As required by law such to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process. To the extent we are legally permitted to do so, we will take commercially reasonable steps to notify you in the event that we are required to provide your personal information to third parties as part of a legal process.
  • When we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a written government request.
  • In the event of a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of our assets, we will ensure that the acquiring organization agrees to protect personal information in accordance with the commitments we have made in this Privacy Policy, and that the acquiring organization will provide notice before personal information, customer information, or business information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
  • To any other third party with your prior consent to do so. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
ACCESSING AND UPDATING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.

To review, access or update your personal information, review its accuracy, or request deletion please contact us at Admin@1703.co. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with reasonable access to any of your personal or other account information we maintain within forty-five (45) days of your request. We provide this access so you can review, make corrections, or request deletion of your information. If we cannot honor your request within the 45-day period, we will tell you when we will be able to provide access. In the unlikely event that we cannot provide you access to your information, we will explain why we cannot do so.

Please note that any changes you make will be reflected in our active user database within a reasonable time; however, we may retain information you submit for backups, archiving, prevention of fraud, to satisfy legal obligations, or otherwise we reasonably believe there is a legitimate reason to do so.

THIRD PARTY SERVICES.

We use various third-party services to create the best experience for users and for improving existing products and services. Third party services use cookies or similar technologies to analyze trends, administer the website, track users’ movements around the website, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level, but if you choose to disable cookies, it may limit your use of certain features or functions on our website or service. We use third-party services, such as Amazon web services, Azure, and Google Cloud, to store information, host or our services, manage accounts, process payments, etc. In all instances we manage the transfer of such data by transferring personal information in encrypted formats. We also use various third-party services that collect and analyze information about your use of our site and to ensure user success and improved relationship management. A list of third party services we use to operate and deliver our services is available upon request.

SECURITY, DATA RETENTION, AND STORAGE.

To prevent unauthorized access, safeguard data accuracy, and maintain the appropriate use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, technical, and administrative procedures to protect the personal information data you submit. We make every effort to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems. However, since the Internet is not 100% secure and as new technology evolves and emerges, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party interferences from illegally obtaining or tampering with your personal information.
We encourage you to help us by also taking precautions to protect your personal data when you use the services.

We will retain your personal information for as long as needed for the purposes described above and/or as required by law. A user may request access to certain data about themselves by emailing Admin@1703.co.
