In such cases, server log data containing IP addresses may be shared with law enforcement bodies in order that they may identify users in connection with their investigation of the unauthorized activities.

We reserve the right to disclose or transfer any information we have about you in the event of a proposed or actual purchase, any reorganization, sale, lease, merger, joint venture, assignment, amalgamation or any other type of acquisition, disposal or financing of all or any portion of our business or of any of the business assets or shares (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceeding).

All Internet Users – Cookies, Pixel Tags, Web Beacons and Aggregate Information

The technical information and usage statistics may be collected through data collection tools, such as cookies, pixel tags, web beacons and log data when you use our Products. We and/or service providers acting on our behalf, such as Google Analytics and/or our third-party advertisers, use “cookies,” which are small text files that websites place on your computing device as you browse the Web, or other similar technologies. We may use both session cookies (that last until you close your browser) and persistent cookies (that last until you or your browser delete them). Although most browsers automatically accept cookies, you can change your browser options to stop automatically accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting cookies. Please note, however, that if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to access all portions or features of our Products. Some third-party developers, publishers and other businesses with which we partner (including third-party advertisers) may also place their own cookies on your browser. A Pixel Tag is an electronic image, often a single pixel that is ordinarily not visible to users and may be associated with cookies on a user’s hard drive. Web beacons are small files that allow us to measure the actions of visitors to our Products. We also use log data that we obtain automatically through our servers.

We may use this information that we obtain through cookies, web beacons, log data and similar data collection tools to identify that you have logged in to our Products, help us better understand how you interact with our Products, personalize and improve your experience, develop, provide, customize and improve our Products, evaluate the effectiveness and popularity of our Products, track habits, help us to determine the effectiveness of marketing and advertising campaigns (including informing us whether you received and opened our email), monitor, analyze and understand trends, and communicate with you about products or services offered by Norman Norris and our partners.

We may analyze (and may engage third parties to analyze) this information as we work to improve your Norman Norris experience, develop, provide, customize and improve our Products, offer you targeted ad-selection and delivery in order to personalize your user experience by increasing the likelihood that advertisements for products and services you see will appeal to you, a practice known as behavioral advertising, and undertake web analytics (i.e., to analyze traffic and other end user activity to improve your experience). We may send push notifications to your mobile device to provide Service updates and other relevant messages. You can manage push notifications from the “options” or “settings” page within the mobile application or through your mobile device’s settings page for the mobile application. We may use cookies to monitor aggregate usage and web traffic routing for our Products. We may use a person’s IP address to fight spam, malware and identity theft. We also may use the IP address to generate aggregate, non-identifying information about how our Products are being used.

We may keep track of how you interact with links across our Products, including our email notifications, third-party products and services, and other applications. We may use information about links to develop, provide and improve our Products, show you more relevant advertising, communicate with you about products or services offered by Norman Norris and our partners, personalize your Norman Norris experience and be able to share aggregate click statistics such as how many times a particular link was clicked on.

Unless you explicitly opt-in to permit the use and sharing of your Personal Information regarding the geographic location of your computing device, your location data will only be collected and used anonymously in a form that does not personally identify you. Please note that some location-based services may require your Personal Information for the feature to work as intended.

Third-party service providers, advertisers, such as companies delivering advertisements in our Products, developers and publishers may also use cookies or other technologies, and the practices of such third parties are subject to their own privacy policies.

By using our Products, you consent to the use of cookies, web beacons, log data and similar data collection tools by us and our service providers and partners in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Your Personal Infomation Rights

Automated Processing and Profiling

When data is collected, Norman Norris will inform you that profiling will occur, and also the reasoning and anticipated consequences of such Processing. You may request at any time that Norman Norris provide confirmation of any Processing, including profiling and its consequences. You have the right to object to profiling at any time; the Processing must cease unless Norman Norris has a legal basis that overrides your interests, rights and freedoms.

Choice/Modalities to Opt Out

You have the right to opt out of certain uses and disclosures of your Personal Information, as set out in this Privacy Policy.

Where you have consented to Norman Norris’ Processing of your Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information (“Sensitive Data”), you may withdraw that consent at any time and opt out. Additionally, before we use Personal Information for any new purpose not originally authorized by you, we will provide information regarding the new purpose and give you the opportunity to opt out.

Prior to disclosing Sensitive Data to a third-party or Processing Sensitive Data for a purpose other than its original purpose or the purpose authorized subsequently by the Data Subject, Norman Norris will endeavor to obtain your explicit consent (opt-in). Where obtaining your consent for the Processing of Personal Information is otherwise required by law or contract, Norman Norris will comply with the law or contract.

“Do Not Track”

When using Norman Norris’ online services, Norman Norris may collect personally identifiable information (“PII”) about individual users’ online activities over time and across different web sites or online services operated by Norman Norris. To use Norman Norris’ online services, individual users are connected to their specific accounts and, therefore, Norman Norris does not respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals. Norman Norris shares advertising identifiers with third-party advertising partners and may allow third-party advertising partners displaying advertisements on Norman Norris’ web sites and other online platforms to collect PII about individual users’ online activities over time and across different web sites or online services.

Rights of Access, Rectification, Erasure and Restriction

You may seek confirmation regarding whether Norman Norris is Processing Personal Information about you, request access to Personal Information, and ask that we correct, amend or delete that information where it is.

Where otherwise permitted by applicable law, you may use any of the methods set out in this Privacy Policy to (i) request confirmation of Processing; (ii) seek access to; (iii) receive (port), including to another controller; (iv) restrict or object to Processing; (v) seek rectification; or (vi) request erasure of Personal Information held about you by Norman Norris. Such requests will be processed in line with local laws, including without undue delay and in accordance with any required time frames.

Although Norman Norris makes good faith efforts to provide individuals with access to their Personal Information, there may be circumstances in which Norman Norris is unable to provide access, including but not limited to: where the information contains legal privilege, would compromise others’ privacy or other legitimate rights, where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the individual’s privacy in the case in question or where it is commercially proprietary. If Norman Norris determines that access should be restricted in any particular instance, we will endeavor to provide you with an explanation of why that determination has been made within any required time frames (approximately one month), a contact point for any further inquiries and any other legally required information. To protect your privacy, Norman Norris will take commercially reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access to or making any changes to your Personal Information.

The Security of Your Information

The security of all Personal Information provided to Norman Norris is important to us and therefore we take reasonable administrative, physical and electronic measures to protect the Personal Information that you decide to provide to us from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Unfortunately, however, no security system can be 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee that communications between you and Norman Norris or our Products, or any information provided to us in connection with the information we collect through our Products is completely secure. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of user information at any time. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information

Links to Other Sites

Our Products may contain links to other websites, and may provide access to products, services and applications owned or provided by third parties not affiliated with or controlled by Norman Norris. Any information that you provide on or to a third-party website, product, service or application is provided directly to the owner of the website, product, service or application and is subject to that party’s privacy policy. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to such websites, products, services or applications. The fact that we link to a third-party website or service, for example, is not an endorsement or representation of any affiliation with that third-party, nor is it an endorsement of such third-party’s privacy or information security policies or practices or their compliance with laws. We do not exercise control over third-party websites, products, services or applications. To protect your information, we recommend that you carefully review the privacy policies of the websites, products, services and applications that you access. You agree that Norman Norris is not responsible for, nor will Norman Norris be liable to you or any third-party for, your interaction with such third parties or the information requests initiated by such third parties or the subsequent use, treatment or dissemination of the information you choose to provide to them.

We may share this information with Third Parties for our or their purposes in an anonymized or aggregated form that is designed to prevent anyone from identifying you.
