INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU AND HOW WE COLLECT IT
We may collect several types of information from and about users of our Website, which may include:

  • Information you provide by filling out the subscription forms on our Website. This includes information provided at the time of registering to use our Website, subscribing to our services, posting material or public comments, or requesting further services, and includes information by which you may be personally identified, such as name, home and/or postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, gender, and/or date of birth. This information is personally identifiable information (“PII”) and it allows us to contact you and distinguish you from other users, among other things.
  • You may also provide information when you carry out transactions through our Website. For example, if you subscribe to our services, we gather information such as your method of payment and your billing information. We will use this information to complete the transaction. This information may also be used for aggregate reporting (which summarizes the data in a report but does not contain your PII).
  • Device and application data: we may collect data about the devices and applications used when connecting to/or accessing our Website, including but not limited to, IP address and browser type. We can usually infer geographic data based on a subscriber’s IP address. If you visit our Website from an external source (like another website or via email link), we might record information about the source that referred you to us.
  • Information from cookies and web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs): we may use third party tracking services such as Google Analytics that use cookies and web beacons to collect aggregated and anonymized data about visitors to our Site.
  • Certain areas of our Website, including our social media accounts, contain information supplied by users and others. If you submit user content to our social media accounts, you acknowledge that the content will be publicly available. Please do not submit any information to the social media accounts, including personally identifiable information, that you do not want to make public. We are not responsible for comments, advice, reviews, information, or any other posting made by you, other users or third parties in these areas. We do not have the obligation, but we reserve the right, to review content posted in public areas, including to our social media pages, and to delete or edit them, for any reason, at any time.
  • We may also ask you for information when you enter and/or participate in certain sweepstakes and contests sponsored by us. If you enter a contest, we record your entry and link it to your registration information. Your PII may be used to contact you for winner notification, prize delivery and related purposes.
  • We may receive additional PII from you through communications with the Site. For example, if you email the Site to ask about a product or service, we will use that information to respond to your inquiry, to have a history of our service to you and to make better our service by reporting your request, without any PII, in our customer service totals.

We collect this information:

  • Directly from you when you provide it to us.
  • Automatically as you navigate through the Website. Information collected automatically may include usage details, IP addresses, and information collected through cookies, and other tracking technologies.

OTHER INFORMATION
In order to maintain and improve the Website, we gather some statistical data when you visit the Website. The exact information we collect may vary but can include the date and time of an access to our Website, the Internet Protocol (“IP”) address of a computer requesting a page, the pages requested, and computer and connection information such as browser type and operating system. We do not associate this statistical information with your PII.

We may request PII from you via surveys or voting polls. If you respond to a survey or poll, we may aggregate your responses with those of other RBT subscribers but we do not associate your response with any PII.

PUBLIC INFORMATION
Please note that we may provide you with various ways to submit information to be published or displayed (hereinafter, “posted”) on public areas of the Website or transmitted to other users of the Website or third parties (collectively, “User Contributions”). In each of these circumstances, RBT will gather information from you. Your User Contributions are posted and transmitted to others at your own risk. Anything you submit to our Website through these services may be made public, so you should not include information you want kept private.

Additionally, we cannot control the actions of other users of the Website with whom you may choose to share your User Contributions. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that your User Contributions will not be viewed by unauthorized persons.

COOKIES
When you visit or use our Website we may send one or more “cookies” to your computer or other device. A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. Cookies may store unique identifiers, user preferences and other information. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some website features or services may not function properly without cookies. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service, including for storing user preferences, tracking user trends and providing relevant advertising to you.

ACTIVITY TAGS
We may also use “activity tags” (also called “spotlight tags”). These invisible tags provide information to third parties about the flow of users on our Website and other websites. We may receive reports generated from that information. Information collected from the use of activity tags on our Website is not linked to any PII you provide to our Site. 

PHYSICAL LOCATION
We may collect the physical location of your device by, for example, using satellite, cell phone tower, Wi-Fi signals or your IP address. We may use your device’s physical location to provide you with location-based services and content. We may also share your device’s physical location, combined with information about what advertisements you viewed and other information we collect, with our marketing service providers to enable them to provide you with more localized content and to study the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. You may be able to allow or deny such uses and/or sharing of your device’s location by changing your device’s location settings, but if you choose to deny such uses and/or sharing, we and our marketing service providers may not be able to provide you with the location-based services and content. 

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

  • In any other way we may describe when you provide the information.
  • For any other purpose with your consent.

Except as otherwise disclosed in this Policy, we do not rent, sell, transfer or otherwise disclose your PII to any third party. We may aggregate information supplied by users during the site registration process and information about their use of our Website to maintain our services and describe our Website user base to potential partners and advertisers. This information is used to supply summary data about our community of users. There are certain circumstances in which we may need to disclose PII personally identifiable information about you, and we want you to know about them.

We may employ other businesses, certain services, and individuals to perform functions on our behalf, such as fulfilling subscriptions, delivering products/services, providing customer service, sending mail, processing credit card payments, holding live chats, providing marketing assistance, data analysis and customer service. We may share your PII with these companies. We will provide them with only the information necessary to perform their functions.

We may form partnerships with other companies. Some of these partnerships include the sharing of some of your personal information with our partners to extend these services to you. We require that our partners not disclose your information to other organizations without your consent.

We may reveal user information if we believe that a user is harming or interfering with other Website users, anyone else, or violating our Terms of Service, or infringing any of our rights. Further, to the extent we believe it is required by law, RBT will reveal information, including PII. If we are asked by subpoena or other legal means to disclose any of your PII we will, if permitted by law, attempt to notify you via the email address you supplied during your subscription at least ten days before we respond to the request.

The Website may be sold in connection with a sale of a substantial portion of the assets of our company or other transactions may occur in which your PII is one of the business assets transferred. In such a case, your PII, which we have gathered, may be one of the business assets we transfer and, you agree to such transfer and acknowledge and agree that any successor to or acquirer of us will continue to have the right to use your PII and other information in accordance with the terms of this Policy.

We may also use and share your PII for other legitimate business reasons not specified herein. We will periodically update this Policy to inform you of any changes to our data use and sharing practices.

DATA SECURITY
No data transmissions over the internet can be guaranteed to be entirely secure. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we will make all reasonable efforts to ensure security on our systems. We may use secure server software and firewalls to protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure. So, while we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss or a data breach will never occur.

You should be aware that your information may be accessed or disclosed in connection with a breach of such firewalls and secure server software. By using this Website or providing PII to us, you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to your use of the Website. We may post a notice on our Website if a security breach occurs. In these circumstances, we may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to us so that you can take appropriate steps.

Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing. To receive free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your consent from receiving electronic notice) you should notify us at scott@raisingbetterteens.com.

EMAIL COMMUNICATION
We may use your email address to contact you with required email messages about the Website. We may also use your email address to send you other communications you request. We will do our best to provide you with an opportunity to opt-out of receiving such further communications at the time you are contacted.

DISPUTES AND AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE
By using the Website, you and RBT agree that, if there is any controversy, claim, action, or dispute arising out of or related to your use of the Website, or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Policy or any part of it (“Dispute”), both parties shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party describing the facts and circumstances of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party 30 days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute.

Notice shall be sent:

  • To RBT at:
    Raising Better Teens, Inc.
    327 Canal Street
    Newport Beach, California 92663
    Attention: Privacy
  • To you at:
    Your last-used billing address or the billing address that we may have on file for you.

Both you and the RBT agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent that must be satisfied before initiating any litigation or filing any claim against the other party. IF ANY DISPUTE CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY THE ABOVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE, YOU AGREE THAT THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE FORUM FOR SUCH DISPUTE WILL BE DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDIAUL BASIS. Arbitration on an individual basis means that you will not have, and you hereby waive, the right for a judge or jury to decide your claims, and that you may not proceed in a class, consolidated, or representative capacity. Other rights that you and we would have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including discovery and appeal rights.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Policy, including any claim that all or any part of this Policy is void or voidable.

CHOICE OF LAW
This Policy has been made in, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles.

It is vitally important for you to keep your personal information accurate, current and complete at all times, as well as for you to be able to reach us should you have any questions or concerns regarding this Policy.

Pursuant to Section 1798.83 of the California Civil Code, residents of California can obtain certain information about the types of PII that companies with whom they have an established business relationship have shared with third parties for direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year. In particular, that law provides that consumers may request a copy of the PII that we hold about you.

Consumers may also request information regarding the categories of PII that have been shared with third parties, the names and addresses of those third parties and examples of the types of services or products marketed by those third parties.

You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable email address for you, and for periodically visiting our Website and this Policy to check for any changes. Any changes to this Policy will become effective upon posting. Changes will not be applied retroactively to information obtained under a previous policy without your express consent.
