Medio Privacy Policy

 

Medio Systems, Inc. (“Medio”) is committed to protecting your privacy.  We have prepared this Privacy Policy to describe to you our practices regarding the Personal Data (as defined below) we collect from users of our mobile application and related service.  Capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy have the meanings given in our Terms of Service.

 

This Privacy Policy was last revised on May 25th 2011.

 

1.              User Consent.  By submitting Personal Data through our Service, registering for the Service, or using our App, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and you expressly consent to the processing of your Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

2.              A Note About Children.  We do not intentionally gather Personal Data about visitors who are under the age of 13.

3.              A Note to Users Outside of the United States.  Your Personal Data may be processed in the country in which it was collected and in other countries, including the United States, where laws regarding processing of Personal Data may be less stringent than the laws in your country.

4.              Types of Data We Collect.  “Personal Data” means data that allows someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, as well as any other non-public information about you that is associated with or linked to any of the foregoing data.  “Anonymous Data” means data that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Data; Anonymous Data does not, by itself, permit the identification of individual persons.  We collect Personal Data and Anonymous Data, as described below.

(a)             Information You Provide to Us.  

·       We collect Personal Data from you, such as your first and last name, e-mail, username, and password when you create an Account. 

·       If you choose to fill out your optional user profile, we collect Personal Data, such as your birthday, gender, city of residence, and categories of interests.

·       If you provide us feedback or contact us via e-mail, we will collect your name and e-mail address, as well as any other content included in the e-mail, in order to send you a reply. 

·       If you participate in one of our surveys, we may collect additional profile information. 

·       We also collect other types of Personal Data that you provide to us voluntarily, if you contact us via e-mail regarding support for the Service.

 

(b)             Information Collected Through Technology.

·       When you use the App without signing up for an Account or signing into your Account, we collect information from you, such as the Deals you view, the date and time of your use of the App and/or Service, and your unique mobile device ID number.

·       When you sign up for an Account, we may match information previously collected about your use of the App, as described above, to your Account. We also collect information from you when you are using the App while signed into your Account, such as the Deals you view or buy, the date and time of your use of the App and/or Service, and your unique mobile device ID number. We may match information collected about your use of the App while you are signed out, as described above, to your Account.

·       Our servers also log the geolocation data provided by your mobile device (“Geolocation Data”) whenever you use the App, such as, but not limited to, viewing and buying Deals. You cannot disable this feature.

·       Commission Junction, a Deal Reseller, requires Medio to embed a code on each link that links to the Commission Junction pages and service. This code enables Commission Junction to identify users of the Service who visit the Commission Junction pages and services as users of the Service.

·       Our Deal Resellers may collect information from you when you visit their pages through our App. The terms of each Deal Reseller’s privacy policy, not this Privacy Policy, governs its collection, use, and disclosure of such information.

 

5.              Use of Your Data

(a)             General Use.  In general, Personal Data you submit to us is used either to respond to requests that you make, or to aid us in serving you better.  We use your Personal Data in the following ways: 

·       to facilitate the creation of and secure your Account on our network;

·       to identify you as a user in our system;

·       to provide improved administration of our Service;

·       to customize the Deals that you see;

·       to provide the services you request;

·       to send you a welcome e-mail to verify ownership of the e-mail address provided when your Account was created;

·       to send you administrative e-mail notifications, such as security or support and maintenance advisories; and

·       to send newsletters, surveys, offers, and other promotional materials related to our Service and for other marketing purposes of Medio.

 

(b)             Creation of Anonymous Data.  In addition to collecting Anonymous Data from you, we may create Anonymous Data records from Personal Data by excluding information (such as your name) that make the data personally identifiable to you, including without limitation to analyze request and usage patterns so that we may enhance the content and features of our Service.  Medio reserves the right to use Anonymous Data for any purpose and disclose Anonymous Data to third parties in its sole discretion. 

6.              Disclosure of Your Data.  Except as described below, we do not disclose your Geolocation Data or Personal Data to third parties:

(a)             Information Disclosed to Third Party Service Providers.  We may share your Personal Data and Geolocation Data with third party service providers to:  provide you with the Service; to conduct quality assurance testing; to facilitate creation of Accounts; to provide technical support; and/or to provide other services to Medio.  These third party service providers are required not to use your Personal Data and Geolocation Data other than to provide the services requested by Medio.  You expressly consent to the sharing of your Personal Data and Geolocation Data with our service providers as described above.

(b)             Affiliates and Acquisitions.  We may share some or all of your Personal Data and Geolocation Data with our current and future parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under a common control (“Affiliates”), in which case we will require our Affiliates to honor this Privacy Policy. If another company acquires our company, business, or our assets, that company will possess the Personal Data and Geolocation Data collected by it and us and will assume the rights and obligations regarding your Personal Data and Geolocation Data as described in this Privacy Policy.

(c)             Other Disclosures.  Regardless of any choices you make regarding your Personal Data (as described below), Medio may disclose Personal Data and Geolocation Data if it believes in good faith that such disclosure is necessary (a) in connection with any legal investigation; (b) to comply with relevant laws or to respond to subpoenas or warrants served on Medio; (c) to protect or defend the rights or property of Medio or users of the Service or App; and/or (d) to investigate any violation or potential violation of the law, this Privacy Policy, or the Terms of Service.  You expressly consent to the sharing of your Personal Data and Geolocation Data as described above.

7.              Information Collected from and Shared with Social Networking Sites.  If you log on to the Service with your login credentials from a social networking site (e.g., Facebook or Twitter) (each, a “Social Networking Site”), we may receive Personal Data and/or Anonymous Data about you from such Social Networking Site, in accordance with the terms and conditions (e.g., terms of use and privacy policy) of the Social Networking Site (“SNS Terms”). For example, if you log on using Facebook Connect, Facebook will provide us your basic information (which may include your name, email, gender, birthday, current city, and profile picture URL), in accordance with Facebook’s terms and conditions. We may add any Personal Data and/or Anonymous Data received from a Social Networking Site to the information we have already collected from you via the Service, and we will treat any such data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.  If you log on to our App using Facebook Connect, Facebook will know that you have logged onto our App and will display the App as one of your Facebook applications. You may elect to share, through a feature on the Service, certain content and information from our Service with Social Networking Sites, such as Deals that you have purchased or are interested in. Any information that you elect to share with any Social Networking Site will be shared with them in accordance with your election. The SNS Terms of such Social Networking Site will apply to the information we so disclose to it. You expressly consent to the sharing of your Personal Data as described above.

8.              Your Choices Regarding Your Personal Data

(a)             Choices.  We offer you choices regarding the collection, use, and sharing of your Personal Data.   

(i)              We may periodically send you free newsletters and e-mails that directly promote the use of our Service.  If you receive newsletters or promotional communications from us, you may indicate a preference to stop receiving further communications from us and you will have the opportunity to “opt-out” by contacting us directly at the address set forth below.

(ii)            Despite your indicated e-mail preferences, we may send you service related communication, including notices of any updates to our Terms of Service or Privacy Policy.

(b)             Changes to Personal Data.  You may change any of your Personal Data in your Account by editing your profile within your Account. You may request deletion of your Personal Data by us by contacting us at the address set forth below, but please note that we may be required to keep this information and not delete it (or to keep this information for a certain time, in which case we will comply with your deletion request only after we have fulfilled such requirements).  When we delete any information, it will be deleted from the active database, but may remain in our archives.

9.              Security of Your Personal Data.  Medio is committed to protecting the security of your Personal Data.  We use a variety of industry-standard security technologies and procedures to help protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.  We also require you to enter a password to access your Account information. Please do not disclose your Account password to any other person.  No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while Medio uses reasonable efforts to protect your Personal Data, Medio cannot guarantee its absolute security.
