Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy was first published and made effective on March 2, 2017.

Simply Blessed provides this Privacy Policy to explain our practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of information that apply to our Service, as well as your choices regarding the collection and use of information. This Privacy Policy covers the businesses including the websites that we own or maintain including without limitation simplyblessed.com and any other websites we may acquire or maintain. You understand and agree that any information you provide may be used in connection with any Site we own or maintain.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to information we collect by means (including offline) or from other sources other than through the Service or Our Site. Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Privacy Policy have the meaning given them in our Terms of Use.  

1. Information Collection and Use

Personally Identifiable Information:

We collect information that can be used to identify you as an individual (“Personally Identifiable Information”) only when you provide such information directly to us in connection with the Service. 

Information we may collect from you.

We ask for Personally Identifiable Information such as your name and e-mail address when you register for a customer account with the Service, (including by “following,” “liking,” adding a SimplyBlessed application, etc., on a third party website or network) or if you correspond with us (in which case we will also retain our responses). We may also collect demographic information, such as your age, gender, product preferences, and interests. If you purchase products or services or sign up for a paid subscription, then we will also ask for additional information, such as your credit card number and billing address (when applicable). We may also retain any messages you send through the Service, and may collect information you provide in User Content you post to the Service.

Uses made of the information.

We use Personally Identifiable Information to communicate directly with you. We may send you emails containing newsletters, promotions and special offers. We also use your Personally Identifiable Information to send you Service-related emails (e.g., account verification, purchase and billing confirmations and reminders, changes/updates to features of the Service, technical and security notices). You may not opt out of Service-related e-mails.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information:

We also collect and use information about your interactions with the Service in a manner and format that does not identify you as an individual (“Non-Personally Identifiable Information”). We may collect, use, and disclose Non-Personally Identifiable Information as set forth below.

Information we may collect from you:

Analytics Information.

We use third-party analytics tools to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Service. These tools collect information sent by your browser as part of a web page request, including the web pages you visit, your browser add-ons, your browser’s width and height, and other information that assists us in improving the Service. We collect and use this analytics information in aggregate form such that it cannot reasonably be manipulated to identify any particular individual user.

Cookies Information:

When you visit the Service, we may send one or more cookies - a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters - to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser and lets SimplyBlessed help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the site. A cookie may also convey information to us about how you use the Service (e.g., the pages you view, the links you click and other actions you take on the Service), and allow us or our business partners to track your usage of the Service over time. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the site. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser’s directions. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the Service may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled.

Log File Information:

Log file information is automatically reported by your browser each time you access a web page. When you use the Service, our servers automatically record certain log file information. These server logs may include anonymous information such as 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 Service, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information.

Clear Gifs/Web Beacons Information:

When you use the Service, we may employ clear gifs (also known as web beacons) which are used to anonymously track the online usage patterns of our users. In addition, we may also use clear gifs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. The information allows for more accurate reporting and improvement of the Service.

Uses made of the information.

We use or may use cookies, log file, and clear gifs information to: (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the site; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c) monitor the effectiveness of our Service; (d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, traffic, and demographic patterns; (e) diagnose or fix technology problems reported by our Users or engineers that are associated with certain IP addresses; (f) help you efficiently access your information after you sign in; and (h) track User Content and Users to the extent necessary to comply as a service provider with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act; (i) serve Online Advertising (please see below) to your browser or device, and (j) automatically update a SimplyBlessed application on your system and related devices. For more information on our practices with respect to User Content that you may post to the Service, please visit our Terms of Use.

 

2. Sharing of Your Information

Personally Identifiable Information:

We will not rent or sell your Personally Identifiable Information to third parties outside SimlyBlessed and its controlled subsidiaries and affiliates without your consent, except as noted below: 

We may share your Personally Identifiable Information with third-party business partners for the purpose of providing the Service to you. Those business partners will be given limited access to the Personally Identifiable Information that is reasonably necessary to deliver the Service, and we will require that such third parties comply with this Privacy Policy. 

Any Personally Identifiable Information or content that you voluntarily disclose for posting to the Service, such as User Content, becomes available to the public, as controlled by any applicable privacy settings. To change your privacy settings on the Service please access your customer account page. If you remove information that you posted to the Service, copies may remain viewable in cached and archived pages of the Service, or if other Users have copied or saved that information. 

Non-Personally Identifiable Information:

We may share Non-Personally Identifiable Information, including information obtained through tools such as cookies, log files and clear gifs (such as anonymous usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with our third-party business partners for the purposes described in the section above on “Information Collection and Use.”

Online Advertising:

We may also share Non-Personally Identifiable Information with our business partners to deliver online advertisements (“ads”) that may be of interest to you. SimplyBlessed may allow third-party ad servers or ad networks to serve advertisements on the Service. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser or mobile device, the ads and ad links that appear on the Service. The ad-servers automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, and clear gifs) to compile information about your browser’s or device’s visits and usage patterns on the Service (without using any Personally Identifiable Information), and to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize the advertising content. SimplyBlessed does not provide any Personally Identifiable Information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent. However, please note that if an advertiser asks SimplyBlessed to show an ad to a certain audience and you respond to such an ad, the advertiser or ad server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach. The SimplyBlessed Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, third-party advertisers. Please consult the respective privacy policies of such advertisers or contact such advertisers for more information.

3. How We Protect Your Information

Storage and Processing:

Personally Identifiable Information collected through the Service may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which SimplyBlessed or its subsidiaries, affiliates or service providers maintain facilities.

Safeguarding Measures:

SimplyBlessed uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of all information collected from through the Service. To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you access to your account. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information, and for controlling access to your email communications from SimplyBlessed, at all times. Notwithstanding the foregoing measures, SimplyBlessed cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to SimplyBlessed or guarantee that information on the Service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. Your privacy settings may also be affected by changes to the functionality of SimplyBlessed distributors, such as social networks. SimplyBlessed is not responsible for the functionality or security measures of any third party.

Compromise of Information:

In the event that any information under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, SimplyBlessed will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation and where appropriate, notify those individuals whose information may have been compromised, in accordance with applicable law and through the notification procedures set forth in this Privacy Policy.

 

4. Your Choices About Your Information

Opting Out of Collection of Personally Identifiable Information:

You may, of course, decline to submit any Personally Identifiable Information through the Service, in which case the SimplyBlessed may not be able to provide certain services to you.

Modifying Your Account Information and Settings:

You may update your account information and email-communication preferences at any time by logging in to your customer account page or contacting us directly at contact@hopebox.com. As noted above, you may not opt out of Service-related communications (e.g., account verification, purchase and billing confirmations and reminders, changes/updates to features of the Service, technical and security notices).

Opting Out of Collection of Non-Personally Identifiable Information:

The only way to completely “opt out” of the collection of any information through cookies is to actively manage the settings on your browser. Please refer to your browser’s technical information for instructions on how to delete and disable cookies, and other tracking/recording tools. Note that disabling cookies on your browser prevents you from receiving the features available through the Service.

User-Generated Content:

Following termination or deactivation of your customer account, SimplyBlessed may retain your profile information and User Content for a commercially reasonable time for backup, archival, or audit purposes. Furthermore, SimplyBlessed may retain and continue to use indefinitely all information (including User Content) contained in your communications to other Users or posted to public or semi-public areas of the Service after termination or deactivation of your customer account.

5. Children’s Privacy

SimplyBlessed does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally Identifiable Information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to register. The Service and its content are not directed at children under the age of 13. If you are under 13, please do not send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at simplyblessedbox@gmail.com

 

6. Links to Other Web Sites and Services

We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites or services linked to or from the Service, nor the information or content contained therein. Please remember that when you use a link to go from the Service to another website, our Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites or services. Your browsing and interaction on any third-party website or service, including those that have a link on our website, are subject to that third party’s own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.

7. Changes to Our Privacy Policy

SimplyBlessed may in its sole discretion modify or update its Privacy Policy from time to time, and so you should review this Policy periodically.
