SHARING AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Gorrie Marketing occasionally hires third parties to provide certain services available on our Web site or made available on our behalf. We will only provide those third party providers the personal information they need to deliver their services, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose. Gorrie Marketing may provide your personal information to partners who work on behalf of or with Gorrie Marketing under partner or confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your personal information to help Gorrie Marketing communicate with you about products and/or services from Gorrie Marketing and our partners.

Gorrie Marketing may also track and analyze non-identifying and aggregate usage and volume statistical information from our visitors and customers and provide such information to third parties.

Gorrie Marketing may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary in order to conform to the requirements of law or comply with legal process served on Gorrie Marketing, protect and defend the rights or property of Gorrie Marketing and its family of Web sites or act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of Gorrie Marketing employees, users of Gorrie Marketing products or services, or members of the public.

Gorrie Marketing reserves the right to transfer personal information to third parties as part of any corporate reorganization process including, but not limited, mergers, acquisitions, and sales of all or substantially all of our assets.

Except as described in this Privacy Policy, in the applicable Terms of Use Agreement or at the time we request the information; Gorrie Marketing does not otherwise use, sell, rent, share or otherwise disclose your personal information to any third parties.

INFORMATION ABOUT YOU FROM THIRD PARTIES

In order to protect against potential fraud, we may verify with third parties the information you provide. In the course of such verification, we receive personally identifiable information about you from such services. In particular, if you use a credit card or debit card to purchase services with us, we may use card authorization and fraud screening services to verify that your card information and address matches the information that you supplied to us, and that the card has not been reported as lost or stolen.

Under some circumstances such as registering your business to subscribe to services from us, we may conduct a background check on your business by obtaining information about you and your business from a credit bureau or a business information service such as Dun & Bradstreet. If you incur a debt to us, we will generally conduct a credit check on you by obtaining additional information about you from a credit bureau, to the extent permitted by law. We, at our sole discretion, also reserve the right periodically to retrieve and review a business and/or consumer credit report for any account, and reserve the right to close an account based on information obtained during this credit review process.

We may share such non-personal data with third parties.

OPT-OUT

We communicate with users who subscribe to our services on a regular basis via email, and we may also communicate by phone to resolve customer complaints or investigate suspicious transactions.

Generally, users cannot opt out of these communications, but they will be primarily informational in nature rather than promotional.

COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGY

Gorrie Marketing uses "cookies" and other tracking technologies. A "cookie" is a small text file that may be used to collect information about Web site activity. For example, when someone visits the Web site, a cookie is placed on the user's machine (if the user accepts cookies) or is read if the user has visited the Web site previously. You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser, but please note that if you choose to erase or block your cookies, you will need to re-enter your original user ID and password to gain access to certain parts of the Web site.

Gorrie Marketing uses an email delivery and marketing third party provider to send emails that you have agreed to receive. Pixel tags and cookies are used in those email messages and at this Web site to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising and how visitors use our Web site.

If you have agreed to receive emails from us, those emails may contain advertising about goods and services that we think might be of interest to you. In order to understand how our readers interact with the emails and the content that we send, we use pixels in the text in order to understand who has opened the emails that they have been sent. In order to provide our content in the most interesting way, we also use pixels to learn whether you can receive emails in text or html form. If you click on a link in the email, we may set a cookie on your browser. If you visit this Web site as a result of clicking on a link, we are able to understand how you interact with the pages of our Web site through the combination of the cookie and pixels set on the pages of our Web site. This enables us to understand what interested you in our emails and what did not, and what interests you about our Web site and what does not. We can then try to send you more interesting information in the future. Please note that this information is for our use only; we do not disclose or share this information with any third parties.

Our use of cookies and other tracking technologies allows us to improve our Web site and your Web experience. We may also analyze information that does not contain personal information for trends and statistics.

No data transmissions over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.

We use secure server software (SSL) and firewalls to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of such firewalls and secure server software.

If Gorrie Marketing learns of a security systems breach we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. By using this web site or providing personal information to us you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to your use of this site. Gorrie Marketing may post a notice on our web site if a security breach occurs. If this happens, you will need a web browser enabling you to view the Gorrie Marketing.com web site. Gorrie Marketing may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to us in these circumstances.
