PRIVACY POLICY

The Confidence Co. Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 19, 2019

Welcome to The Confidence Co. ("The Confidence Co.," "we," "us" or "our"). At The Confidence Co., your privacy is our top priority.  We appreciate that you trust us with your information and we want to make sure you understand the information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used and your choices regarding your information.  This Privacy Policy explains how we and some of the companies we work with collect, use, share and protect information in relation to our Services, and your choices about the collection and use of your information.

This Privacy Policy applies to websites, mobile applications, products and other services provided and operated by The Confidence Co. For simplicity, we refer to all of these as our “Services” in this Privacy Policy.  In addition, this Privacy Policy applies to you, as well as all visitors, users, and others who access the Services ("Users").

Some Services may require their own unique privacy policy. If a particular service has its own privacy policy, then that policy, not this Privacy Policy, applies.

By using our Services you understand and agree that we are providing a platform for you to upload or provide content, including photos, information about yourself, and other materials (your "User Content"), to the Services and to share User Content publicly and in connection with our provision of the Services. This means that other Users may potentially see, use, or share any of User Content that you make publicly available through the Services, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.

  1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect the following types of information.

Information you provide us directly:

  • Your username, password and e-mail address when you register for a The Confidence Co. account.
  • Your payment information when you purchase any products or services.

Information we receive from others:

In addition to the information you provide us directly, we receive information about you from others, including:

  • Social Media

You may be able to use your social media account (such as Facebook Login) to create and log into your The Confidence Co. account. This saves you from having to remember yet another user name and password and allows you to share some information from your social media account with us.

  • Other Partners

We may receive info about you from our partners, for instance where The Confidence Co. ads are published on a partner’s websites and platforms (in which case they may pass along details on a campaign’s success).

Information collected when you use our Services:

 

When you use our Services, we collect information about which features you’ve used, how you’ve used them and the devices you use to access our Services.

 

Analytics information:

  • We use third-party analytics tools to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Services. These tools collect information about your activity that is sent by your device or our Services, including the web pages you visit, add-ons, that date and time you logged in, features you’ve been using, searches or search parameters, clicks and pages, referring webpage addresses, advertising you click on, how you interact with other users (e.g., users that you interact with, time and date of your exchanges, number of messages sent and received), and other information that assists us in improving the Services. We collect and use this analytics information in an aggregated form with the analytics information from other Users so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify any particular individual User.

Cookies and similar technologies:

  • When you visit the Services, we may use cookies and similar technologies like pixels, web beacons, and local storage to collect information about how you use The Confidence Co. and provide features to you. We use and may allow others to use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., web beacons, pixels) to recognize you and/or your device(s). We use cookies for various purposes (such as authenticating you, remembering your preferences and settings, analyzing site traffic and trends, delivering and measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, allowing you to use social features).
  • We may ask advertisers or other partners to serve ads or services to your devices, which may use cookies or similar technologies placed by us or the third party.
  • Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome) have a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) feature that tells a website that a user does not want to have his or her online activity tracked.  If a website that responds to a DNT signal receives a DNT signal, the browser can block that website from collecting certain information about the browser’s user.  Not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform.  For this reason, many businesses, including The Confidence Co., do not currently respond to DNT signals.
  • More information about why we use cookies, and how you can better control their use, through your browser setting and other tools, is available in our Cookie Policy.

Log file information:

  • Log file information is automatically reported by your browser each time you make a request to access (i.e., visit) a web page or app. It can also be provided when the content of the webpage or app is downloaded to your browser or device.
  • When you use our Services, our servers automatically record certain log file information, including your web request, Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, referring / exit pages and URLs, number of clicks and how you interact with links on the Services, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information. We may also collect similar information from emails sent to our Users which then help us track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. The information allows for more accurate reporting and improvement of the Services.

Device identifiers:

  • When you use a mobile device like a tablet or phone to access our Services, we may access, collect, monitor, store on your device, and/or remotely store one or more "device identifiers." Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device. A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device's operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by The Confidence Co..
  • A device identifier may deliver information to us or to a third party partner about how you browse and use the Services and may help us or others provide reports or personalized content and ads. Some features of the Services may not function properly if use or availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled.

Other information with your consent:

If you give us permission, we may collect your precise geolocation (latitude and longitude) in order to offer you features that make use of it. Such geolocation is collected through various means, depending on the service and device you’re using, including GPS, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connections. If you decline permission for us to collect your geolocation, we will not collect it, but this may prevent us from offering certain features to you that make use of such geolocation information.
