Privacy Policy
Moxy Vote, LLC (the “Company” or “we”) respects your personal privacy and is committed to adhering to federal and state privacy laws and industry guidelines in order to protect you and your identity. This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes how we handle the personal information that you provide to us on this site (the “Website”). This Privacy Policy applies only to the Website, not to any other company, affiliate or third party sites that may be accessible from here.
Please be sure to read this Privacy Policy before using the Website or submitting information to us. Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time and your continued use of the Website is acceptance of such changes, so please check this area periodically for updates to this Privacy Policy.
1. INFORMATION THE COMPANY COLLECTS FROM YOU
Active Information Collection
Like many other Websites, we actively collect information from our visitors both by
asking specific questions on the Website and by permitting you to communicate directly
with us via email. Some of the information that you submit during the registration
process or while otherwise using the Website may be personally identifiable (that is,
information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your name, business name,
user name, address, phone number, fax number, e-mail address, brokerage account name,
etc.).
When you visit the Website, we will not collect any personally identifiable information
about you unless you provide it to us voluntarily. However, to access certain portions of
the Website or to utilize the full functionality of the Website, you may be required to
provide such information. If you choose to register with the Website, during the
registration process you will be asked for personal information, most of which is required
in order to complete the registration. If you opt not to register with the Website, you still
can visit the Website but you will not be able to access certain portions.
The Company does not have control over the privacy policies applied by any other party
to whom you may disclose information. Third party sites that are linked to or from the
Website are not under the control of the Company and we are not responsible for their
content or privacy policies. The provision of links to such third party sites on the Website
does not constitute an endorsement by the Company of the content on the third party
sites. Further, you must abide by the terms of use and are subject to the privacy policies
of these third party sites. If you would like information on any other party’s privacy
policy, you should contact that party directly, and we encourage you to do so.
a. Passive Information Collection -
As you navigate through a Website, certain information can be passively collected (that
is, gathered without you actively providing the information) using various technologies
and means, such as navigational data collection. Like most Website operators, we track
IP addresses, use both session and persistent cookies, and assign Internet tags. Our
system also automatically gathers information about the areas you visit on this site and
collects operational information about the technology you use, such as your browser, type
of computer, operating systems, Internet service providers and the domain name of the
Website from which you linked to our site.
In addition, when you view the Website, we may store some information on your
computer. This information will be in the form of a cookie or similar file and will help us
in many ways. For example, cookies allow us to tailor the Website to better match your
interests and preferences. Most Internet browsers enable you to erase cookies from your
computer hard drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored.
Please refer to your browser instructions or help screen to learn more about these
functions.
The Company does not collect personally identifiable information
automatically, but we may tie information collected automatically to your previously
submitted personally identifiable information.
We passively collect information to understand what areas of the Website are most
popular, which areas may require improvement and what technologies are being used by
our visitors. This information helps us to update and improve the Website. We also use
this information for security purposes, to detect and to block security breaches and to
provide you with a safe online environment.
2. HOW THE COMPANY USES YOUR INFORMATION The Company uses your personal information to enhance the operation of the Website and allow you to use all of its features. Your contact information (including, without limitation, address, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, brokerage account name, brokerage account number, etc.) will be used for the purposes for which you supplied it to us (e.g., registering with the Website, posting content, providing voting instructions, etc.), to send you related notices or promotional materials and to respond to your comments or requests for information. The Company may also distribute content via e-mail on behalf of third parties to the e-mail address provided by you. Moreover, the Company may assist groups engaging in the solicitation of proxies and, as such, may utilize user-provided contact information to distribute materials and/or contact users on behalf of a third party to encourage a specific vote. As further described in our Terms and Conditions of Use, we may also post your name and credentials in connection with links and content you provide. If you direct comments to us or you request information from us, we may ask you to verify where you are doing business so that we can be assured that the response or information we provide is appropriate for that geographic location. We may also enhance or merge personally identifiable information with data obtained from third parties for the same purposes.
a. If we enable transactions on the Website, we may collect and use financial and billing information from you for purposes of processing such transactions. The Company will not give or sell your personally identifiable information to any outside organization for the organization's own use without your consent. The Company may disclose your personal information to the vendors that assist us in processing information as required for operational purposes. These vendors are restricted from using the information for any purpose other than helping us to provide services. The Company does not otherwise distribute to third parties your personally identifiable information. The Company, however, will have no liability for disclosure of information obtained due to errors in transmission or the unauthorized intervention of third parties.
b. The Company may provide aggregate statistics about the number of users (whether overall or with respect to following a specific third party), number of votes cast (whether through the Website, at the recommendation of a specific third party or with respect to any particular ballot or agenda item), online traffic patterns and related information to reputable third parties, but these statistics will not include any personally identifiable information. The Company also will disclose any information that it is required to disclose by law or by an appropriate government authority. If a third party acquires the assets of the Company related to the Website and its products and services (whether by sale, merger, change of control, bankruptcy or otherwise), your personally identifiable information may be transferred to the new owner(s). In such case, your information would remain subject to the provisions of the current Privacy Policy that was in effect immediately prior to the transfer.
3. CHOICES YOU HAVE ABOUT HOW THE COMPANY USES YOUR INFORMATION - We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information:
