What Types of Information Does Peer² Collect?

Anonymous User Information:

When a computer user visits a website, that user's IP address may be noted and stored. An "IP address" is a number that is automatically assigned to Your computer when You use the Internet. Peer² collects anonymous user information, such as IP addresses, each time somebody visits the Website so that we can improve the overall quality of Your online experience and better understand Our users in general. In addition to IP addresses, We also use technology to collect and store information of a similar nature, including the name of Your Internet service provider (ISP), Your operating system (e.g., Windows, Macintosh, Unix, etc.), Your browser type (e.g., Internet Explorer, AOL/Netscape, Mozilla Firefox, etc.), and language, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamp. You do not have to register with Peer² before we can collect this anonymous information. Until You register with Peer², We do not require you to share any personal information, such as your name or email address in order for you to use the Website. The Peer² website assigns an anonymous ID number to your requests and links the following data to that ID: the date and time you visited the Peer² site, your IP address, browser type, referral data, and operating system. Like most standard website servers, we use log files to collect and store this anonymous user information. Peer² analyses this information to examine trends and to better understand who our users are. Anonymous user information cannot be used to personally identify you.

Personal Information:

To use the services available on this Website, We ask Users to register. When You register, We ask that You provide certain very basic personal information, such as name, email address, phone number, address, and password. To earn additional bonus redeemable points, You may choose to supply additional demographic information, such as gender, ethnicity, marital status, number of children, education level, and household income. We wish to reassure Users that the information that We require upon registration or in connection with a particular activity or service is necessary. We do not condition a User's participation in any activity on the User's disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity.

How Does Peer² Use My Information?

Anonymous User Information:

We use anonymous user information to administer Our Website, analyze trends, track User movements, gather broad demographic information for marketing purposes, etc. We also compile statistics about the technology used by Our visitors. IP addresses are tied to personally identifiable information to segregate user types for analytical purposes. These statistics and data help Us to improve Our Website, its services and the user experience, to make the Website more compatible with the technology used by Our visitors and for other internal purposes.

Personal Information:

We use personal information primarily for our own internal purposes, including direct communication, fulfilling requests for information, shipping the rewards that you redeem points for, and providing customer support. For example, when you sign up to receive the Peer² newsletter, we will use your email address to send you the newsletters.

When Will Peer² Disclose My Information to Third Parties?

Disclosure to Unaffiliated Third Parties:

While We make every effort to preserve Your privacy, We may need to disclose personal information as required by law when we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with current a judicial proceeding, criminal investigation, court order, or legal process. We may also share Your personal information if We believe it is necessary 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 Peer²'s policies or rules, violations of the Website's Terms of Use (including this Privacy Policy), or as otherwise required by law.

Disclosure to Third Party Vendors, Affiliates or Partners:

We may share information collected online through this Website with third party vendors who act for Us or on Our behalf, for example, to help Us to manage and handle the processing and delivery of communications (i.e., e-mails, faxes, regular mailings), to host Websites, to provide customer support, to process transactions (including the processing of reward orders), to provide data storage, to fulfill orders and shipments, to assist in direct marketing, to conduct audits, to perform statistical analysis of Our services or to provide other support services. We will provide personally identifiable information to these third party vendors only to the extent they have a need to know such information, and it will be only the information they need to deliver the services for which they were retained. Our affiliates or business partners also may share personal information with vendors who provide support services to them. These vendors may need information about the User to perform their functions. These vendors are required to maintain the confidentiality of Your information, and they are not authorized to use the information We share with them (or that Our affiliates or business partners share with them) for any purpose other than to provide services to Us, Our affiliates, or Our business partners.

Disclosure to Successors:

We may disclose Your personal information to any successor-in-interest of Ours, such as a company that acquires Us. In the event Peer² goes through a business transition, such as a merger or acquisition by or with another company, or sale of all or a portion of Our assets, Your personal information will likely be among the assets transferred. You will be notified by a posting on the Website (or via email, if We so choose) of any such transaction that occurs wherein Your personal information is transferred as part of that transaction.

Disclosure of Non-Personal Information:

We may disclose anonymous user information, in aggregate form, to potential strategic partners, advertisers, investors, customers, and others. You may not opt-out of the sharing of this information. However, such information cannot be used to identify you personally.

Security and Protection of Personal Information

The security of Your personal information is important to Us. We follow generally-accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to Us, both during transmission and once We receive it.
