PRIVACY POLICY

WATCHMAN MONITORING, INC (“WATCHMAN”) is committed to your right to privacy. WATCHMAN has prepared this privacy policy statement (“Privacy Policy”) to describe our collection, use, and disclosure of any personal identifiable information we may collect through the WATCHMAN Website (‘Website”). This Privacy Policy is incorporated into the Website’s Terms of Use. WATCHMAN will collect, use, and disclose your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Through the combination of both internal and third party tracking code as well as cookies (small pieces of data that the Website transfers to the user’s computer hard drive when the user visits the Website) and other technologies such as pixel tags and web beacons, we track the following categories of information when a visitor enters the Website: (1) IP address, (2) domain servers, (3) type of computer used to access the Website, and (4) certain types of web browsers (collectively “Anonymous Data”). Such data does not collect information that identifies you as an individual. WATCHMAN may use Anonymous Data for general marketing purposes and to help enhance customer experience on the Website.

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf. These companies may employ cookies and action tags (also known as single pixel gifs or web beacons) to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third parties collect via cookies and action tags is completely anonymous.

For you to access certain products or services that we offer through the Website, WATCHMAN may require you to provide us with information that can identify you as an individual. This information may include your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, contact preferences, and/or credit card and billing information.

Please note that some Personal Data and Anonymous Data is used to gather general statistics regarding our customers, visitors, and/or registrants in order to enhance the consumer experience on the Website. We may also use demographic data in a manner that does not identify you specifically or allow you to be contacted but does identify certain criteria about our users in general. For example, we may inform third parties about the number of registered users, number of unique visitors, and the pages most frequently browsed.

Please be advised that certain Personal Information may become public record upon the filing of documents with the state or the court. For example, the corporate name, business address and the name of the registered agent become public information upon the filing of articles of incorporation. In many cases, the Secretary of State will provide this information to third parties for a fee. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will also make public the names and addresses of trademark registrants. In some states, fictitious business names, including the name and address of the business owner, must be published in a newspaper. WATCHMAN’s privacy policy does not cover actions by these third parties.

You are not required to provide the Personal Information that we have requested, but, if you chose not to do so, in many cases we will not be able to provide you with our products or services or respond to any queries you may have.

We may use social plugins from certain social media Websites (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.) on the Website. To do this, we use the “Like” or “Share” button or icon. This is a service provided by the specific social media platform, not WATCHMAN. If you visit a page on the Website containing such a plugin, your browser will create a direct connection to the specific social media website. The content of the plugin will be directly transferred to your browser by the specific social media platform and integrated into the website by the browser. When the plugin is integrated, the social media platform will be informed that your browser has visited the corresponding page of our Website, even if you do not have an account with that platform or are not logged into your account at the time. This information (including your IP address) is transferred directly to the social media platform’s server by your browser and stored there.

Except as described in this Privacy Policy, we will not share your Personal Information with third parties, unless such disclosure is necessary (as determined in our sole discretion) to: (a) comply with a court order or other legal process; (b) protect the rights, property, and/or safety of WATCHMAN, or any third party; or (c) enforce the Terms of Service.

We use commercially reasonable measures to maintain the security of your Personal Information. However, no company, organization, or online community, including WATCHMAN can fully eliminate security risks associated with personal information.

We may provide your Personal Information to third party service providers who work on behalf of or with WATCHMAN to provide some of the services and features of the Website and to help us communicate with the subscribers/users of the Website. However, these service providers do not have any independent right to share this information (except pursuant to a legal requirement such as a subpoena or warrant).

We may share some or all of your Personal Information with our subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under a common control (“Affiliates”), in which case we will require our Affiliates to honor this Privacy Policy.

If the assets related to the Website are acquired by another company, that company will possess the Personal Information collected by WATCHMAN and it will assume the rights and obligations regarding your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy.

WATCHMAN has security measures in place to minimize the loss, misuse, destruction and alteration of the information that you provide to us, or that we obtain from you. We will have no liability, however, to you or to any third party arising out of any such loss, misuse, destruction, or alternation.

The Website may contain links to other third-party websites (“Linked Websites”). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of the Linked Websites. If you choose to visit other websites, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those other websites, and it is your responsibility to review the privacy policies at those websites to confirm that you understand and agree with the same.

WATCHMAN may also make chat groups, forums, and message boards available to you, but please understand that any information you disclose in these areas becomes public information and accordingly, such information is not subject to this Privacy Policy. We have no control over its use and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose any Personal Information.

We reserve the right, at any time and without notice, to add to, change, update or modify this Privacy Policy, by posting such change, update or modification on the Website. Any such change, update or modification will be effective immediately upon posting.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, the Terms of Servie, or your dealings with the Website, you may contact us at support@watchmanmonitoring.com
