How Do We Use the Information We Collect?
Any information we collect from you may be used in one of the following ways:
How Do We Use Your Email Address?
By submitting your email address on this website/app, you agree to receive emails from us. You may cancel your participation in any of these email lists at any time by clicking the opt-out link or other unsubscribe option included in the relevant email. We only send emails to people who have authorized us to contact them, either directly or through a third party, and we do not send unsolicited commercial emails.
By submitting your email address, you also agree to allow us to use it for customer audience targeting on platforms such as Facebook, where we display customized advertising to people who have opted in to receive communications from us. Email addresses submitted only through the order-processing page will be used solely to send you information and updates about your order.
How Long Do We Keep Your Information?
We keep your information only for as long as we need it to provide the Bar Huddle Service to you and to fulfill the purposes described in this policy. This is also true for anyone we share your information with who carries out services on our behalf. When we no longer need to use your information, and there is no need for us to retain it to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, we will either remove it from our systems or depersonalize it so that it can no longer identify you.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order or enter, submit, or access it. We use a secure server, and all supplied sensitive or credit information is transmitted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway provider's database, accessible only to those authorized with special access rights who are required to keep the information confidential.
We cannot, however, guarantee the absolute security of any information you transmit to Bar Huddle, or that your information on the Service will never be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed through a breach of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
Could My Information Be Transferred to Other Countries?
Bar Huddle is incorporated in the United States. Information collected through our website/app, through direct interactions with you, or from use of our help services may from time to time be transferred to our offices or personnel, or to third parties, located throughout the world, and may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have laws of general applicability regulating the use and transfer of such data. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, by using any of the above, you voluntarily consent to the trans-border transfer and hosting of such information.
Is Information Collected Through Bar Huddle Secure?
We take precautions to protect the security of your information and maintain physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to help safeguard it, prevent unauthorized access, and maintain data security. However, neither people nor security systems are foolproof, including encryption systems, and people can commit intentional crimes, make mistakes, or fail to follow policies. While we use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If applicable law imposes any non-disclaimable duty to protect your personal information, you agree that intentional misconduct will be the standard used to measure our compliance with that duty.
Can I Update or Correct My Information?
The rights you have to request updates or corrections to information Bar Huddle collects depend on your relationship with Bar Huddle. Personnel may update or correct their information as described in our internal company employment policies.
Customers have the right to request the restriction of certain uses and disclosures of personally identifiable information as follows. You may contact us to (1) update or correct your personally identifiable information, (2) change your preferences regarding communications and other information you receive from us, or (3) delete the personally identifiable information maintained about you on our systems by canceling your account.
Because our systems must be backed up to protect information from inadvertent loss, a copy of your information may exist in a non-erasable form that is difficult or impossible for us to locate. Promptly after receiving your request, all personal information stored in databases we actively use will be updated, corrected, changed, or deleted as soon as technically practicable.
