Privacy Policy

Modern Marketing Partners has created this Privacy Policy in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to protecting your personal information. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices.

The information you provide on the Sites will not be shared other than as outlined in this privacy policy. Please carefully read our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

These websites present information and content that is owned, licensed, or provided by RB Communications, Inc. DBA Modern Marketing Partners (“MODERN”). The site may also include services provided by third parties and distributed through the sites by virtue of a license, grant or some other form of agreement between the third party and MODERN. When used in this Privacy Policy, “we”, “us” and “our” mean MODERN.

VISITING OUR WEBSITE

You can browse our Websites without providing any personal or individually identifiable information. You also may be able to set your browser to reject cookies. If you do that, the website may be less functional for you.

There are times when you may choose to give us personally identifiable information about you. For example, you may wish to register to receive e-mails from us, receive invitations, attend events, preview new content, or to purchase goods and services available through the sites. We need certain information from you to register you, authenticate you, and process your entries and payments, where necessary.

SITE VISITORSHIP DATA

Site Visitorship Data is information about the way a website is used that is not associated with an individual’s identity. We use aggregate anonymous data regarding online behavior to better understand how people use our Websites. To that end, we may use aggregated, anonymous online traffic behavior along with information from third parties to track usage trends and thereby improve our Websites. We may also use this aggregated, anonymous information to develop reports that we may share with third party marketing partners and customers. The kind of information we may collect includes: your Internet Protocol (IP) address; the pages visited on our sites; the links clicked on our site; any products or services you review; the features used; how long a visitor stays; and the domain name of the sites from which visitors connect to our sites and the sites to which visitors connect through our service.

Most Site Visitorship Data is collected using data collection tools such as web beacons, cookies, embedded web links, and other commonly used information-gathering tools. We use Site Visitorship Data to develop, manage, and improve the Websites. Sometimes we may aggregate Site Visitorship Data with personally identifiable information from registered members. We may use that information to: manage the Websites; help resolve problems; analyze use of the sites; and notify you about products or services that we, our third party marketing partners, and members may offer from time-to-time. Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, MODERN decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize businesses. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personally identifiable information to prospective or actual purchasers, or the receipt of it from sellers. It is our practice to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions.

INFORMATION SECURITY

We may recommend or require the use of encryption technologies for certain types of communications conducted through the Website. While we may provide those technologies and use other reasonable precautions to protect confidential information and provide suitable security, we do not guarantee that information transmitted through the Internet is secure, or that such transmissions will be free from delay, interruption, interception or error.

DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

MODERN will NOT release any personally identifiable information to third parties without your consent except as follows:

(1) Anyone providing us their personally identifiable information grants MODERN and its affiliates, the right to use their information internally without restrictions for the purposes of, but not limited to, research, marketing, and content and lead development.

(2) MODERN may share information we collect with our third party marketing partners. If we do so, we will request that they treat this information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and to refrain from disclosing or using your personally identifiable information for purposes other than for the provision of services to you or for the benefit of MODERN. Our third party marketing partners may also send you special promotions and offers for related services, at their sole discretion.

(3) We may disclose information collected on the Sites, including personally identifiable information, to third parties as required or permitted by law. For example, we may disclose information: to regulators; to law enforcement authorities who subpoena it; to vendors who provide us with service; or to companies that may acquire part or all of an affiliated company. MODERN is not responsible for the protection of the information you provide to other websites. You should be aware that when you voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information on other websites, such information can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited communications.

COMMUNICATIONS

From time to time, we may send e-mail to users regarding current projects, special offers, invitations to events, product testing opportunities and updates to the Site, press releases and announcements concerning the services we provide, as well as important changes in our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. By providing us your e-mail address, you consent to receiving such communications via e-mail. If at any time you decide for any reason that you no longer wish to receive such communications, you may opt out of receiving them by using one of the following methods: Select the e-mail “opt out” or “unsubscribe” link, or follow the opt-out instructions included in each subscription communication. Where applicable, return to the Web page(s) where you originally registered your preferences and follow the opt-out instructions. E-mail us. Be sure to provide your name, email and postal address, and specific relevant information about the particular service you no longer wish to receive.

Please be aware that when you opt out of receiving communications, it may affect the services you have chosen to receive from us where accepting the communications is a condition of receiving the services.

HYPERLINKS AND REFERRALS

Websites accessible via our Website (through hyperlinks, banner advertisements or otherwise) have their own privacy policies and data collection, use and disclosure practices. Please consult each site’s Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy prior to use. When you click on a hyperlink, sponsored link or banner advertisement, a new browser window or frame containing a third party’s website may appear in the foreground with a MODERN Website remaining in the background. Any time that you have moved to a new window or frame containing a third party’s website, you will no longer be on the MODERN Website, and are no longer protected by this Privacy Policy or our Terms and Conditions.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

We do not knowingly collect or distribute personally identifiable information from minor children. If you are the parent or guardian of a minor child and believe that they have disclosed personally identifiable information to us, please contact us by e-mail so that we may delete the minor’s information. You can learn more about children’s privacy and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) at the Federal Trade Commission’s website at:

SAFE HARBOR DATA PRIVACY NOTICE

The United States Department of Commerce and the European Commission have agreed on a set of data protection principles and frequently asked questions (the “Safe Harbor Principles”) to enable U.S. companies to satisfy the requirement under European Union law that adequate protection be given to personal information transferred from the EU to the United States.
