Privacy Statement:
This Privacy Statement applies to the following websites of Originatic LLC (“Originatic”): www.originatic.com and www.smart-leaf.com. Originatic respects your privacy. This Privacy Statement informs you of our privacy practices and of the choices you can make about the way your information is collected online and over the phone and how that information is used. This statement is readily available on our home page and at the bottom of every webpage.
1. Links to Non-Originatic Websites
The Originatic websites may provide links to third-party websites for your convenience and information. If you access those links, you will leave the Originatic websites. Originatic does not control those sites or their privacy practices, which may differ from Originatic's practices. We do not endorse or make any representations about third-party websites. The personal data you choose to provide to or that is collected by these third parties is not covered by this Privacy Statement. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any company before submitting your personal information.
2. Collection of personal information
2.1| To serve you better and understand your needs and interests, Originatic collects, exports, and uses personal information with adequate notice and consent, along with required filings with data protection authorities, when applicable. For example, when you order products or services, apply for instant credit, request information, subscribe to marketing or support materials, register yourself or your Originatic products, enter contests or participate in surveys, or apply for a job at Originatic, we will ask you to provide personal information to complete these transactions. The types of personal information you provide to us on these pages or by phone may include contact information, such as your name, address, telephone number, and email address; financial information such as your credit card number; and other unique information such as user IDs and passwords, billing and transaction information, product and service preferences, contact preferences, educational and employment background, and job interest data. If you apply for instant credit, we will ask you to provide additional sensitive personal information such as salary, Social Security number and banking information. This information will be used by our financial services providers in determining whether to extend you credit.
2.2| If you choose to use a tell-a-friend program on our site, we will ask you for your friend’s e-mail address and automatically send your friend an e-mail inviting your friend to visit our websites. Originatic uses and stores this information only for the purpose of sending such an e-mail and to provide tell-a-friend message blocking, where available.
2.3| In addition to the information you provide, Originatic may also collect information during your visit to Originatic websites through automatic data collection tools, which include web beacons, cookies, embedded web links, and other commonly used information-gathering tools. These tools collect certain standard information that your browser sends to our websites such as your browser type and language, access times, and the address of the website from which you arrived at an Originatic website. They may also collect information about your Internet Protocol (IP) address, clickstream behavior (i.e. the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions you take in connection with the Originatic websites) and product information. 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 use IP addresses to communicate on the Internet, allowing users to browse and shop. Originatic may also use some of these automatic data collection tools in connection with certain emails sent from Originatic and therefore may collect information using these tools when you open the email or click on a link contained in the email.
2.4| Originatic also collects information from commercially available sources that it deems credible. Such information may include your name, address, email address and demographic data. The information Originatic collects from its commercial sources may be used along with the information Originatic collects when you visit Originatic’s websites. For example, Originatic may compare the geographic information acquired from commercial sources with the IP address collected by automatic data collection tools to derive your general geographic area.
3. How We Use Your Information
The information Originatic collects to understand your needs and interests helps Originatic deliver a consistent and personalized experience. For example, Originatic may use your information to:
- - assist you in completing a transaction or order
- - communicate with you about products and services
- - provide service and support
- - update you on new services and benefits
- - provide personalized promotional offers
- - select content to be communicated to you
- - personalize some Originatic websites
- - allow you to participate in contests and surveys, and
- - contact you for market research regarding Originatic products or services.
4. How We Share Your Information
4.1| Originatic will not sell, rent or lease your personal information to others except as described in this Privacy Statement. Originatic shares personal information in the following ways:
4.2| Originatic retains service providers and suppliers to deliver complete products, services and customer solutions and to assist Originatic with marketing and communication initiatives. These providers and suppliers include, for example, credit card processors, providers of customer support and live-help, email service providers, automated data processors, and shipping agents. Suppliers and service providers are required by contract to keep confidential the information received on behalf of Originatic and may not use it for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for Originatic.
4.3| From time to time, Originatic participates in marketing initiatives with other companies. As part of these initiatives, certain Originatic services and marketing communications are delivered at the same time as those from other companies. Some of these services and communications offer you the option to share personal information with both Originatic and the other companies participating in these initiatives. For example, you may receive marketing communications from Originatic and other companies or have the opportunity to register online for software products from multiple companies. If you choose to provide personal information only to Originatic, Originatic will not share this information with the other companies participating in that marketing initiative. If you choose to provide personal information to the other companies, that personal information will be handled according to the privacy policy of those companies.
4.4| Except as described in this Statement, Originatic will not share the personal information you provide to Originatic with non-Originatic third parties without your permission, unless to: (i) respond to duly authorized information requests of police and governmental authorities; (ii) comply with any law, regulation, subpoena, or court order; (iii) help prevent fraud or to enforce or protect the rights and properties of Originatic or its subsidiaries; or (iv) protect the personal safety of Originatic employees and third parties on Originatic property.
4.5| Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, Originatic decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize businesses in some countries. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or the receipt of it from sellers. It is Originatic’s practice to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions.
5. Children's Privacy
Originatic does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13 and does not target its websites to children under 13. We encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests.
6. Your Choices and Selecting Your Privacy Preferences
6.1| For certain services or aspects of our websites, Originatic may give you the choice of receiving a variety of information that complements our products and services. You may be able to subscribe to receive certain product- and service-specific information and also choose to receive Originatic general communications. We may give you a choice regarding delivery of Originatic general communications by postal mail, email and telephone.
6.2| Depending upon the offering, we may enable you to make or change your choices about receiving either subscription or general communications at the data collection point or by using other methods described below. This option may not apply to communications primarily for the purpose of administering order completion, contracts, support, product safety warnings, driver updates, or other administrative and transactional notices as the primary purpose of these communications is not promotional in nature.
6.3| The email communications that you receive from Originatic will be provided in accordance with this Privacy Statement. Some email communications may utilize automatic data collection tools, as described above.
7. Subscription Communications
Subscription communications include email newsletters, software updates, etc. that may be expressly requested by you or which you consented to receive. After you request such communications, you may opt out of receiving them by using one of the following methods:
- - Select the email "opt out" or "unsubscribe" link, or follow the opt-out instructions included in each subscription communication.
- - Return to the webpage(s) where you originally registered your preferences and follow the opt-out instructions.
- - Write to Originatic at the address set forth below. Be sure to provide your name, email and postal address, and specific relevant information about the Originatic subscriptions that you no longer wish to receive.
Please be aware that when you opt out of receiving certain subscription communications, it may affect the services you have chosen to receive from Originatic where accepting the communications is a condition of receiving the services.
8. Access to and Accuracy of Your Information
Originatic strives to keep your personal information accurately recorded. We have implemented technology, management processes and policies to help maintain data accuracy. Originatic provides individuals with reasonable access to access and correct the personal information that they provided to Originatic in connection with personal online accounts at our websites. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity, such as requiring a password and user ID, before granting access to your data.
9. Keeping Your Personal Information Secure
9.1| Originatic takes seriously the trust you place in us. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of the information, Originatic utilizes procedures to safeguard the information we collect.
9.2| We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive information such as credit card information. SSL encryption is designed to make the information unreadable by anyone but us. This security measure is working when you see the symbol of either an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser) at the bottom of your browser window.
9.3| Credit card numbers are used only for payment purposes and are not used for other purposes.
