Online merchants and others who participate in the Company’s services are encouraged to participate in industry privacy initiatives and take a responsible attitude toward consumer privacy. However, since we do not have direct control over the policies or practices of participating merchants and other third parties, we are not responsible for those sites’ privacy practices or contents. We recommend and encourage that you constantly review the privacy policies of merchants and other third parties before you provide any personal information or complete any transaction with such parties.

The Company may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small text file placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a Web Server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page or navigate within the site, a cookie helps the site recall your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login information and providing personalized functionality.

The company reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics with partner companies. Still, it does not allow other companies to place cookies on our website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value (such as merging into brenebrown.com, a site that relies on third-party cookies).

You can accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings, then be aware that this may disable some of our website's functionality.

Visitors to our website may be permitted to register for certain services, such as a weekly email. When you register, we will request personal information such as name, address, email, telephone number or facsimile number, account number, and other relevant information.

We will not disclose personally identifiable information we collect from you to third parties without your permission except to the extent necessary, including:

— To fulfill your service requests for products or services.

— To protect ourselves, our customers, or our vendors from liability or defend our rights, including investigations of fraud or misconduct.

— To third parties who have agreed in writing to maintain such information in confidence and use such information solely in the performance of services to us.

The Company Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that allow the company to count users who have visited those pages and deliver co-branded services. The Company may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.

Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third-party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email communications. These service providers may use these Web beacons to place a persistent cookie on your computer. This allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information related to those page views, which enables our service providers and us to learn which advertisements and emails bring you to our website and how you use the site. The Company prohibits Web beacons from being used to collect or access your personal information.

We use commercially reasonable procedures to protect the personal information that we collect from you against loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. We have developed, implemented, and continue to maintain and monitor a written information security program applicable to all personal information records. This security program is appropriate to the size, scope, and type of our business, the resources available to us, the amount of stored data, and the need for security and confidentiality of the personal information we hold. No security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases or the security during transmission to us of the information you supply over the Internet. You can help us by taking precautions to protect your personal information on the Internet and only disclose info you want to be made public. Change your passwords often using a combination of letters and numbers, and use a secure web browser.

For the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, personal information may be transferred to, processed, stored, and accessed by us, our affiliates, and third parties in the United States and in other jurisdictions where they or we operate. Courts and other authorities in these jurisdictions may, in certain circumstances, be entitled to access your personal information. By using the Website, you consent to this transfer, processing, storage, and access of your personal information in and outside the jurisdiction you reside.

We may share and publicize aggregate and de-identified information shared with third parties and the public.

We do not specifically market to or knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 for marketing purposes. Because some information is collected online, it may not appear to be the personal information of a child under 13. Suppose a child under 13 submits personal information to us, and we learn that the personal information is the information of a child under 13. In that case, we will attempt to delete the information as soon as possible. If you are under 13, please do not register for any of our services or provide us any information about yourself (such as your name, email address, or phone number).
