WAIVER APP PRIVACY POLICY
This
Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices for Cato Communications
applications and various related services (together referred to as the
"application"). Cato Communications the provider of the application
(referred to as "us " or "we"), is committed to protecting
your privacy online. Please read the information below to learn the following
regarding your use of this application.
You
acknowledge that this Privacy Policy is part of our Application Terms of Use,
and by accessing or using our application, you agree to be bound by all of its
terms and conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not access
or use this application.
We
reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. Such changes,
modifications, additions or deletions shall be effective immediately upon
notice thereof, which may be given by means including, but not limited to
issuing an E-mail to the E-mail address listed by registered users and posting
the revised Policy on this page. You acknowledge and agree that it is your
responsibility to maintain a valid E-mail address as a registered user, review
this application and this Policy periodically and to be aware of any
modifications. Your continued use of the application after such modifications
will constitute your: (a) acknowledgment of the modified Policy; and (b)
agreement to abide and be bound by the modified Policy.
1. Types of Information Collected
In
order to better provide you with our numerous services, we collect two types of
information about our users: Personally, Identifiable Information and
Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Our primary goal in collecting
information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized
experience while using our application.
Personally,
Identifiable Information: This refers to information that lets us know the
specifics of who you are. When you engage in certain activities on this
application, such as registering for a membership, ordering a product or
service, submitting content and/or posting content in discussion forums or
other public areas, entering a contest or sweepstakes, filling out a survey, or
sending us feedback, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself
by filling out and submitting an online form. It is completely optional for you
to elect to engage in these activities, however, we may ask that you provide us
personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing address
(including zip code), E-mail address, employer, job title and department,
telephone and facsimile numbers, and other personal identifying information.
When ordering products or services on the application, you may be asked to
provide a credit card number. Depending upon the activity, some of the
information we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as
voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a
particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.
Non-Personally
Identifiable Information: This refers to information that does not by itself
identify a specific individual. We gather certain information about you based
upon where you visit on our application in several ways. This information is
compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This
information may include the Web site's Uniform Resource Locator
("URL") that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what
browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. A
URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide
Web. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such as the
World Wide Web. Networks like the Web use the TCP/IP protocol to route
information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP
address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever
you are surfing the web, allowing web servers to locate and identify your computer.
Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the
Internet.
2. Collection Methods and Use of Information
We
do not collect any Personally Identifiable Information about you unless you
voluntarily provide it to us. You provide certain Personally Identifiable
Information to us when you (a) register for our services and register your
E-mail address with us; (b) enter sweepstakes or contests sponsored by us or
one of our partners; (c) sign up for special offers from selected third parties;
(d) send E-mail messages, submit forms or transmit other information by
telephone or letter; or (e) submit your credit card or other payment
information when ordering and purchasing products and services on our
application. We may also collect information from you at other points on our
application that state that such information is being collected.
In
addition, we may also collect, or our third-party ad server and/or content
server may collect, certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information. This information
is ultimately stored in the form of store categories, and, in some cases,
specific URLs. We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our servers,
software, to administer our application and to gather demographic information.
Our third-party ad servers will also provide us with summary, but not
individual, reports that will tell us how many ads were presented and clicked
upon at our application.
We
will primarily use your Personally Identifiable Information to provide our
services to you, as required by our agreements with you. We will also use
Personally Identifiable Information to enhance the operation of our
application, fill orders, improve our marketing and promotional efforts,
statistically analyze application use, improve our product and service
offerings, and customize our application's content, layout, and services. We
may use Personally Identifiable Information to deliver information to you and
to contact you regarding administrative notices. We may also use Personally
Identifiable Information to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce
our agreements with you, including our Application Terms of Use, Sales Terms
and Conditions, and this Private Policy.
3. Release of Information
We
do not sell, trade, or rent your Personally Identifiable Information to others.
We do provide some of our services through contractual arrangements with
affiliates, services providers, partners and other third parties. We and our
service partners use your Personally Identifiable Information to operate our
applications and to deliver their services. For example, we must release your
credit card information to the card-issuing bank to confirm payment for
products and services purchased on this application; release your address
information to the delivery service to deliver products that you ordered; and
provide order information to third parties that help us provide customer
service.
We
will encourage our service partners to adopt and post privacy policies.
However, the use of your Personally Identifiable Information by our service
partners is governed by the privacy policies of those service partners, and is
not subject to our control.
Occasionally
we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide
Personally Identifiable Information to the appropriate governmental
authorities. We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information upon receipt
of a court order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement
investigation. We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying
those who use our services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to
report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe
to be unlawful.
We
may also provide Non-Personally Identifiable Information about our customers'
sales, traffic patterns, and related application information to third party
advertisers, but these statistics do not include any Personally Identifiable
Information.
4. Updating and Correcting Information
We
believe you should have the ability to access and edit the Personally
Identifiable Information that you have provided to us. You may change any of
your Personally Identifiable Information in your account online at any time by
linking to your account in accordance with instructions posted elsewhere on
this application. You may also access and correct your personal information and
privacy preferences by writing us at sales@thewaiverapp.com. Please include your name,
address, and/or E-mail address when you contact us. We encourage you to promptly update your Personally Identifiable
Information if it changes. You may ask to have the information on your account
deleted or removed; however, because we keep track of past transactions, you
cannot delete information associated with past transactions on this
application. In addition, it may be impossible to completely delete your
information without some residual information because of backups.
5. User Choices on Collection and Use of Information
We
may, from time to time, send you E-mail regarding our products and services. In
addition, if you indicated upon registration that you are interested in
receiving offers or information from us and our partners, we may occasionally
send you direct mail about products and services that we feel may be of
interest to you. Only Cato Communications (or agents working on behalf of Cato
Communications and under confidentiality agreements) will send you these direct
mailings and only if you indicated that you do not object to these offers. If
you do not want to receive such mailings, simply tell us when you give us your
personal information. Or, at any time you can easily edit your account
information to no longer receive such offers and mailings.
You
also have choices with respect to cookies, as described below. By modifying
your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be
notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to
reject all cookies some parts of our application may not work properly in your
case.
6. Security of Information
At
our application you can be assured that your Personally Identifiable
Information is secure, consistent with current industry standards. The
importance of security for all Personally Identifiable Information associated
with our user is of utmost concern to us. Your Personally Identifiable
Information is protected in several ways. Access by you to your Personally
Identifiable Information is available through a password and unique customer ID
selected by you. This password is encrypted. We recommend that you do not
divulge your password to anyone. In addition, your Personally Identifiable
Information resides on a secure server that only selected personnel and
contractors have access to via password. We encrypt your Personally
Identifiable Information and thereby prevent unauthorized parties from viewing
such information when it is transmitted to us.
Personal
information that you provide that is not Personally Identifiable Information
also resides on a secure server and is only accessible via password. Since this
information is not accessible from outside you will not be asked to select a
password in order to view or modify such information. In order to most efficiently serve you, credit card transactions
and order fulfillment are handled by established third party banking,
processing agents and distribution institutions. They receive the information
needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other payment information
and to process and ship your order.
Unfortunately,
no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be
guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your
Personally Identifiable Information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are
security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control;
(b) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data
exchanged between you and us through this application cannot be guaranteed; and
(c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by
a third party.
7. Cookies
When
you use our application, we will store cookies on your device in order to
facilitate and customize your use of our application. A cookie is a small data
text file, which a Web site stores on your computer's hard drive (if your Web
browser permits) that can later be retrieved to identify you to us. Our cookies
store randomly assigned user identification numbers, the country where you are
located, and your first name to welcome you back to our application. The
cookies make your use of the application easier, make the application run more
smoothly and help us to maintain a secure application. You are always free to
decline our cookies if your browser permits, but some parts of our application
may not work properly in that case. We may use an outside ad serving company to display banner
advertisements on our application. As part of their service, they will place a
separate cookie on your computer. We will not provide any third-party ad server
with any of your Personally Identifiable Information or information about your
purchases. We and our third party ad server will collect and use Non-Personally
Identifiable Information about you, such as your IP address, browser type, the
server your computer is logged onto, the area code and zip code associated with
your server and whether you responded to a particular ad. Other advertisers may
also place banner ads on our application in the same manner as above, but we
will not disclose any Personally Identifiable Information to them.
8. Privacy Policies of Third-Party Applications/Sites
Except
as otherwise discussed in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the
use and disclosure of information we collect from you. Other applications/sites
accessible through our application have their own privacy policies and data
collection, use and disclosure practices. Please consult each application's or
site’s privacy policy. We are not responsible for the policies or practices of
third parties. Additionally, other companies which place advertising on our application
may collect information about you when you view or click on their advertising
through the use of cookies. We cannot control this collection of information.
You should contact these advertisers directly if you have any questions about
their use of the information that they collect.
9. Miscellaneous Privacy Issues
You
should also be aware that when Personally Identifiable Information is
voluntarily disclosed (i.e. your name, E-mail address, etc.) in the discussion
forums or other public areas on this application, that information, along with
any information disclosed in your communication, can be collected and used by
third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from third parties. Such
activities are beyond our control and this Policy does not apply to such
information. Any submissions to chat rooms or other public areas on this
application are accepted with the understanding that they are accessible to all
third parties. If you do not want your comments to be viewed by third parties,
you are advised not to make any submissions. Ultimately, you are solely responsible
for maintaining the secrecy of your password and/or account information. Please
be careful and responsible whenever you're online.

you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, the practices of this
application, or your dealings with this application, please contact us by
