At Left Click – which has a registered corporate name of UpWave Digital Solutions LLC – and its affiliates (collectively, “Left Click,” “we,” or “us”), your privacy and that of all of our clients, users, and visitors, is important to us. This Privacy Policy discloses how we collect personal information, the types of personal information we receive and collect, our use of information, as well as the steps that we take to protect that information. The use of this Site, or any other website controlled and operated by us, constitutes your acceptance of the terms of the following Privacy Policy, including any amendments and/or revisions by Left Click, which may be made at any time. We encourage you to read this policy prior to using our Site and to revisit the policy regularly. In compliance with industry standards and applicable state and federal regulations, we take the actions as described by this Privacy Policy.

Information Collection and Use

This Privacy Policy applies to users of our website located at www.Left-Click.com or any website owned by the owner of Left Click or any of its affiliates on which this policy is posted (collectively, our “Site”), as well as those who interact and/or communicate with us through email or otherwise. Please note that this policy applies only to sites maintained by the owner of Left Click and not to websites maintained by other companies or organizations to which we link or that link to us. We may share the personal information that you supply to us with other third-party businesses to bring selected opportunities and information to you via direct mail, email and telemarketing. These third-party businesses may include providers of direct marketing services and applications, including lookup and reference, data enhancement, suppression and validation, and email marketing. You can browse the Left Click website at any time without revealing any personal information about yourself. There are, however, several areas on our Site where we collect personal information from you on a voluntary basis. Information about you that personally identifies you and/or your household, such as your name, address, email address, or phone number amounts to personally identifiable information (“PII”). PII helps us serve you better by enabling us:

• to provide you with communications from those we believe you would be interested,  and to provide your information to those that can serve you and your interests
• to solicit your opinions and other feedback
• to conduct research
• to customize the content and communications you receive, (5) to process and fulfill your requests for services
• to provide reporting for internal and external clients

We may collect personal information at the following times:

• when you’ve given a third party permission to share with us the information they hold about you and they share that information with us
• when you register to receive communications from our Site
• when you seek information or apply for services offered through our Site or otherwise communicate with us in reply to any communication we send to you
• when you provide information to us through feedback, surveys, emails, or forms from or hosted on this Site
• when you apply for a job with or otherwise contact Left Click

We may receive PII about you from other sources, such as list providers and data brokers where you have granted permission for them to share your information. Like other websites, we also automatically receive and record certain types of information every time you visit us. We may use “cookies” and the other information to enhance your experience and present you with a personalized experience. In that vein, we may use third-party advertising companies to distribute and track advertisements appearing on our Site. These companies may employ cookies and action tags to measure advertising effectiveness.

Categories of PII

We generally collect your email address.  That said, the following types of information may be collected, shared, and/or stored with specific business purposes as outlined in this Privacy Policy:

• General identifiers, such as your name, home or work address, telephone number, email address, job title and organizational affiliation, and government-issued identification.
• Online identifiers, such as your username or passwords for any of our websites, or the information we automatically collect through cookies and similar technologies used on our Site. This may include your computer or mobile device’s operating system type and version number, manufacturer and model, browser type, screen resolution, IP address, unique identifier, the website you visited before browsing to our website, and general location information such as city, state or geographic area.
• Financial information, such as income information you provide in connection with our services to you.
• Protected classification characteristics, such as any of the following information that you choose to provide to us or that we collect in connection with our services to you: age (40 years or older), race, color, ancestry, national origin, citizenship, religion or creed, marital status, medical condition, physical or mental disability, sex (including gender, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy or childbirth and related medical conditions), sexual orientation, veteran or military status, genetic information (including familial genetic information).
• Commercial information, such as the billing details we use to bill you for our services, your billing and payment history, and any records of personal property that we collect in connection with our services to you and other information about your client files. We also collect information about your preferences regarding marketing communications and your participation in our events.
• Biometric information, such as any fingerprints, iris or retina scans, facial geometry scans, hand or palm scans or voice prints created for the purposes of establishing individual identity and that you choose to provide to us in connection with our services to you.
• Internet activity or electronic network activity information that we collect about your interaction with our Site, emails, and other online content, including the pages you viewed, emails you opened, links you clicked, how long you spent on a page, navigation paths between pages or screens, information about your activity on, access times, and duration of access. We also collect information about your preferences for the emails we send.
• Professional or employment-related information, such as your job title, employer information and work history.
• Education information, such as any school you attended.

We may also collect other categories of personal information that you choose to share with us.  We also reserve the right to collect any additional consumer information. This privacy policy will be updated accordingly to reflect those changes.

Legal Protection

We reserve the right to disclose your PII, as required, to comply with the law, applicable regulations, governmental and quasi-governmental requests, judicial proceedings, court orders, or legal process, and will establish or exercise our legal rights and defend against legal claims at our discretion. We will share, without notice to you, all information we possess in response to court orders, subpoenas and to comply with government investigations. At our discretion we will share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Left Click’s Terms of Use or as otherwise required by law.

How We Use and Share Your Personally Identifiable Information

We will share your information with the following:

• Our companies.  Access to personal data within Left Click and our group of companies is restricted to those individuals who have a need to access the information for our business purposes.
• Our clients.  We may share personal data with our clients or their customers as part of the offering of our services. Our clients or their customers may use the data to contact individuals at their email address, through other electronic mail, or through other means. Please note that Left Click clients will likely have their own privacy policies and opt-out options, and we recommend you review them.
  
  LEFT CLICK RESERVES THE RIGHT TO, AND WILL, SELL, SHARE, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES FOR ANY PURPOSE IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION. This includes sharing PII with Left Click clients, partners, sponsors, advertisers, service providers and marketers, lookup and reference services, and any other entities that Left Click believes are able to provide you with information and opportunities that might interest you. Left Click prohibits the sale or transfer of PII to non-affiliated entities for their use without first giving you the opportunity to opt-out. Although Left Click advises everyone who receives PII from Left Click to support this Privacy Policy, Left Click has no control over such party’s information handling practices and is not responsible for any failure of such party to adhere to this Privacy Policy.
  
  
• Suppliers, subcontractors, service providers.  We keep your information confidential, but may disclose it to suppliers or subcontractors insofar as it is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy. However, this is on the basis that they have agreed to safeguard this information.  This includes external third-party service providers, such as accountants, auditors, experts, lawyers and other outside professional advisors; IT systems, support and hosting service providers; technical engineers; data storage and cloud providers and similar third-party vendors and outsourced service providers that assist us in carrying out business activities.
• Potential acquirers or investors.  As with any other business, it is possible that in the future Left Click could merge with or be acquired by another company. If such an acquisition occurs, the successor company will receive and have access to the information maintained by Left Click, including customer account information. Any successor company will continue to be bound by this Privacy Policy. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, you will be notified via email, account message and/or a prominent notice on our website of any change in ownership or uses of this information, as well as any choices you may have regarding this information. 

Additionally, Left Click may share PII in aggregate, non-personal form, with select companies that wish to reach a particular target audience (e.g., female voters between the ages of 34-48, who have an average household income of over $50,000.00). This information will allow these entities to provide individual recipients with information they will find relevant.

Finally, Left Click may disclose PII in order to:

• comply with applicable laws
• respond to governmental inquiries
• comply with valid legal process
• protect the rights or property of Left Click, the Site, or other users of this Site

By registering and using this Site and/or replying to any of our communications, you acknowledge and agree that the processing of your PII for the purposes described above may involve the transfer of such PII from within the United States of America (“USA”) to countries outside the USA whose data protection regulation may not be as stringent as that within the USA.

Minors

You must be at least 18 years old to use this Site. We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information about visitors under 18 years of age. If you are under 18 years of age, you may not use the services offered on our Site unless they are used with the consent, permission and supervision of your parents or guardians.

Cookies and IP Addresses

To serve you more efficiently and effectively, we use “cookies” technology. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive that contains information about the user. Cookies are not way linked to PII. Once the user closes their browser, a cookie typically terminates. Cookies enable a website to “personalize” itself for each user and reduce the time it takes for pages to load on your computer. In order to optimize your experience, cookies also help with the collection of customer tracking data. We may also capture customer tracking data on some of our partner’s websites, related to activity involved with the completion of offers listed on our Site. This information is used to monitor the performance of our partners. If you reject cookies, you may still use our Site, but your ability to use some areas of our site will be limited. We also keep track of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and may disclose your IP address during the course and scope of our business. An IP Address is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify your computer every time you log on to the Internet.

Some of our non-affiliated business partners may use cookies on our site. We have no access to or control over such cookies. This Privacy Policy covers the use of our cookies only and does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties.

Clear Gifs

We employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs) that help us better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movement of Web users. Clear gifs are not tied to users’ personal information. We also use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails the recipients have opened. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If users would like to opt-out of these emails, please see the Opt-out section within any email you receive from us or unsubscribe from our homepage by clicking here.

Opting-Out

We offer you choices when we ask for personal information, whenever reasonably possible. We provide you the opportunity to “opt-out” of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes, when we ask for this information. You may decline to provide personal information to us and/or refuse cookies in your browser, although some of our features or services may not function properly as a result.

If you no longer wish to receive any communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each communication or by emailing or calling us per the information contained on our contact page. You may continue to receive email communications from us up to twenty (20) business days after the time we receive your unsubscribe request. Please note that Left Click can only control its own mailing list and policies. 

Third parties that maintain their own mailing lists may send communications, and you may need to contact these parties directly in order to stop receiving their communications. Although Left Click only supports permission-based emails, Left Click does not obligate itself to restrict third parties advertising beyond that which is required by applicable law.

Third Party Links

This Privacy Policy applies to all information that you provide to Left Click. However, when you visit websites to which Left Click provides a link, keep in mind you will be interacting with a third party that operates under its own privacy and security policies, and terms of use. If you choose to obtain certain services through a third party site, the data collected by the third party is governed by that third party’s privacy policy. A third party site will also have its own policy regarding the use of cookies and clear gifs. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms of use of any other service provider from whom you request services.

If Left Click receives personal information from a third party unrelated to any service offered on our site, the use and disclosure of such information is governed by the agreement (if any) between Left Click and such third party.

Framing

In some cases, we may require the use third party vendors, outside companies, to operate portions of the Left Click Site and/or to provide certain services including clerical, information processing, and other services. Information submitted through these outside third parties are subject to this Privacy Policy unless otherwise stated.

Protection and Security of Your PII

We will treat your data with the utmost care and take all appropriate steps to protect it. We secure access to our websites and apps using ‘https’ technology. Access to your personal data is password-protected, and sensitive data is secured by SSL encryption. We regularly monitor our system to identify ways to further strengthen security.
