OUR LEGAL BASIS FOR COLLECTING PERSONAL INFORMATION

Whenever we collect Personal Information from you, we may do so on the following legal bases: 

  1. Your consent to such collection and use;
  2. Out of necessity for the performance of an agreement between us and you, such as your agreement to use our Services or your request for Services;

Provided that, in each circumstance, we will weigh the necessity of our processing for the purpose against your privacy and confidentiality interests, including taking into account your reasonable expectations, the impact of processing, and any safeguards which are or could be put in place. In all circumstances, we will limit such processing for our legitimate business interest to what is necessary for its purposes.

 

Do We Share the Information We Collect?

We provide Personal Information to our affiliates or other trusted businesses or partners to process it for us, based on our instructions and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. These third parties include payment processors, such as financial institutions and their vendors and contractors that process transactions, marketing partners, and similar partners. It is our policy to only share Personal Information with contractors, service providers, and other third parties who are bound by contractual obligations to keep Personal Information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them. Under certain circumstances, you may avoid having us share your information with our business customers and vendors by not granting us permission to share your information. Not granting us permission to share your information with our business customers or vendors may limit your access to their services through the Site. We do not share personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All OPT-IN requests include text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with third parties.

These third parties may include business-related service providers.

If we establish a new related entity, are acquired by or merged with another organization, or if substantially all of our assets are transferred to another organization, personal information about our Users is often a transferred business asset. In the event that ePlannerPro itself or substantially all of our assets are acquired, personal information about our Users may be one of the transferred assets.

  • Your Rights With Respect to Personal Information

Some data protection laws, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), corresponding legislation in the United Kingdom, and some U.S. state laws, provide you with certain rights in connection with Personal Information you have shared with us. You may have the following rights:

  1. The right to be informed. You are entitled to be informed of the use of your Personal Information. This Privacy Policy provides such information to you.

  2. The right of access. You have the right to request a copy of your Personal Information which we hold about you.

  3. The right of correction. You have the right to request correction or changes of your Personal Information if it is found to be inaccurate or out of date.

  4. The right to be forgotten: You have the right to request us, at any time, to delete your Personal Information from our servers and to erase your Personal Information when it is no longer necessary for us to retain such data. Note, however, that deletion of your Personal Information will likely impact your ability to use our Site or Services.

  5. The right to object (opt-out): You have the right to opt-out of certain uses of your Personal Information at any time.

  6. The right to data portability: You have the right to a “portable” copy of your Personal Information that you have submitted to us. Generally, this means your right to request that we move, copy or transmit your Personal Information stored on our servers / IT environment to another service provider’s servers / IT environment.

  7. The right to refuse to be subjected to automated decision making, including profiling: You have the right not to be subject to a decision and insist on human intervention if the decision is based on automated processing and produces a legal effect or a similarly significant effect on you.

If we no longer need to process Personal Information about you in order to provide our Services or our Site, we will not maintain, acquire or process additional information in order to identify you for the purpose of responding to your request.  

In some cases our ability to uphold these rights for you may depend upon our obligations to process personal information for security, safety, fraud prevention reasons, compliance with regulatory or legal requirements, or because processing is necessary to deliver the services you have requested. Where this is the case, we will inform you of specific details in response to your request.

We do not disclose personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes.

 

HOW WE PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

ePlannerPro maintains administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the User’s Personal Information and information against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account technological reality, cost, the scope, context and purposes of processing weighted against the severity and likelihood that the processing could threaten individual rights and freedoms. For example, we use commercially reasonable security measures such as encryption, firewalls, and transport layer security (TLS) or hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) to protect Personal Information.  

 

THIRD-PARTY SITES

The Sites may contain links to webpages operated by parties other than ePlannerPro. We do not control such websites and are not responsible for their contents or the privacy policies or other practices of such websites. Our inclusion of links to such websites does not imply any endorsement of the material on such websites or any association with their operators. Further, it is up to the User to take precautions to ensure that whatever links the User selects or software the user downloads (whether from this Site or other websites) is free of such items as viruses, worms, trojan horses, defects and other items of a destructive nature. These websites and services may have their own privacy policies, which the user will be subject to upon linking to the third party’s website. ePlannerPro strongly recommends that each User review the third party’s terms and policies.

 

STORAGE AND TRANSFER OF INFORMATION

We may, directly or indirectly through third-party entities around the world, process, store, and transfer all of the information you provide, including your Personal Information, as described in this Privacy Policy. Specifically, the information and Personal Information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored in a country with laws which are different, and potentially not as protective, as the laws of your own country. By submitting your information and personal information and using the Site and/or Services, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Countries where we process data may have laws which are different, and potentially not as protective, as the laws of your own country. If we transfer your Personal Information out of your jurisdiction, we will implement suitable safeguards and rely on legally-provided mechanisms to lawfully transfer data across borders to ensure that your Personal Information is protected. 

 

Children

The Site is not intended for use by children. We do not intentionally gather Personal Data about United States visitors who are under the age of 13 or about European Union, United Kingdom or Swiss visitors who are under the age of 16.  If a child has provided us with Personal Information, a parent or guardian of that child may contact us to have the information deleted from our records. If you believe that we might have any information from a child under age in the applicable jurisdiction, please contact us at privacy@eplannerpro.com. ePlannerPro customers may collect Personal Information of children under the age of 13 or 16 in the applicable jurisdictions, ePlannerPro has no direct relationship with the individuals. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected the personal information of a child under 13, or equivalent minimum age depending on jurisdiction, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible. 

 

“DO NOT TRACK” SIGNALS

ePlannerPro does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. However, some third party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such sites, your browser may include controls to block and delete cookies, web beacons and similar technologies, to allow you to opt out of data collection through those technologies.

 

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent. We will post any privacy policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services or programs, email notification or privacy policy changes).
