PRIVACY POLICY

Outreach, Inc. and its affiliates ("Outreach" or "We") know that you care about how the information we receive from you is used and shared, and we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy describes Outreach’s privacy practices in relation to information that we collect through our websites, applications, application programming interfaces, and online services (collectively, the “Domains”), through our social media pages (collectively, the “Social Media Pages”), and through our HTML-formatted email messages (collectively, including the Domains and the Social Media Pages, the “Sites”). This Privacy Policy also describes Outreach’s privacy practices in relation to information that Outreach shares with Gloo, LLC and its partners, subsidiaries, and affiliates (collectively, “Gloo”). “You” or a “user” refers to any individual who visits or otherwise uses the Sites. By using the Sites, you are accepting and agreeing to the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.  If you do not agree with the data practices described in this Privacy Policy, you should not use our Sites or our services.
  1. What Types of Information Does Outreach Receive From its Users?
    • Personal Information. “Personal Information” is information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual, such as an individual’s name, address, telephone number, email address, IP Address, cookie identifier(s), data revealing religious affiliation, and location information. It can also include transaction information, such as payment information, records of products or services purchased, and billing details. It can also include content you post on our Sites, such as text, images, photographs, videos, messages, comments, or any other kind of content if the content, alone or in connection with other information, reveals the identity of an individual.   If you submit any Personal Information relating to other individuals through or to our Sites, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
    • Other Information. “Other Information” is any information that does not relate directly to an individual’s identity. This might include, for instance, information about how you use our Sites and interact with us, such as registrations you make through our Sites. We use this information to facilitate our operation of the Sites and for other purposes described below.
    • Aggregated Information: “Aggregated Information” may draw from users’ Personal Information or Other Information, but it does not personally identify you or any other user of the Sites in its aggregate form. (For example, we may aggregate Personal Information to calculate the percentage of our users who have a particular telephone area code.) 
  2. How Does Outreach Collect Information?
    3. Personal Information. We may collect Personal Information in a variety of ways, including:
    • Through our Sites: We may collect Personal Information through our Sites, e.g., when you request a catalog, contact us, subscribe to our email newsletter, download content, or register to use our Sites.
    • Offline: We may collect Personal Information from you offline, such as during phone calls with sales representatives or when you contact customer service.
    • Through You: We may collect information when you voluntarily provide it, such as when you respond to surveys, participate in market research activities, report a problem with our Sites, receive customer support, or otherwise correspond with us.
    • Information From Other Sources: In order to enhance our ability to provide relevant marketing, offers, and services to you, we may obtain information about you from other sources such as joint marketing partners, social media platforms, as well as from other third parties.  Some of our Sites include interfaces that allow you to connect with social networking sites (each an “SNS”).  If you connect to an SNS through our Site, you authorize us to access, use, and store the information that you agreed the SNS could provide to us based on your settings on that SNS. We will access, use, and store that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You can revoke our access to the information you provide in this way at any time by amending the appropriate settings from within your account settings on the applicable SNS.
    Other Information. We may collect Other Information in a variety of ways, including:
    • Through Your Browser or Device: Certain information is collected by most browsers or automatically through your device, such as your computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, operating system name and version, device manufacturer and model, language, Internet browser type and version, and the name(s) of the Outreach Sites you are using.
    • Through Cookies and Other Similar Technologies: Cookies and other similar technologies may be used to collect Other Information.  We use essential cookies to provide you with services available through our Sites.  We use analytics and performance cookies to collect information about traffic to our Sites and how users use our Sites.  We use social media cookies when you share information using a social media site sharing button or action. We may use third parties to display advertisements on other websites that may be of interest to you, based on information collected about your use of our Sites.  To do so, these companies may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser (including through the use of pixel tags and web beacons).  Outreach does not recognize automated browser signals regarding tracking mechanisms, which may include ‘do not track’ instructions.
    • Through Google Analytics: Outreach uses Google Analytics.  Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google") that uses cookies and similar technologies to analyze how users use domains. The information generated about domain usage is transmitted to Google in the U.S. This information is used to evaluate visitors’ use of the Domains, compile statistical reports on Domain activity, and provide other services related to the Sites. Google may also collect information about Domain visitors’ use of other websites. For more information about Google Analytics, or to opt out of Google Analytics, please go to: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
    Disabling cookies. Cookies are pieces of data that are used to identify and remember your computer and improve your browsing experience when you use our Sites. You can typically remove or reject cookies via your browser settings.  In order to do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually located within the “settings,” “help,” “tools,” or “edit” facility).  Many browsers are set to accept cookies until you change your settings. Further information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your computer or mobile device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. If you remove or reject our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of our Sites.  For example, we may not be able to recognize your computer or mobile device, and you may need to log in every time you visit our Sites. Pixel tags. We may use pixel tags (which are also known as web beacons or clear GIFs) on our Sites to track the actions of users on our Sites.  Unlike cookies, which are stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device, pixel tags are embedded invisibly on webpages.  Pixel tags measure the success of our marketing campaigns and compile statistics about usage of the Sites, so that we can manage our content more effectively.  The information we collect using pixel tags is not linked to our users’ Personal Information. Third Party Pixel Tags and Cookies. When you visit our website, log in, register, or open an email from us, cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies may be used by our online data partners or vendors to associate these activities with information they or others have about you, including your email address. We (or service providers on our behalf) may then send communications and marketing to these email addresses. You may opt out of receiving this advertising by visiting https://app.getemails.com/optout. Do Not Track Signals. Some internet browsers may be configured to send “Do Not Track” signals to the online services that your visit.  We currently do not respond to do not track signals. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

It is your responsibility to refrain from posting any information that you do not want to reveal to the public at large. Business Transfers: In some cases, we may buy or sell assets or businesses. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred.

If we do, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information for as long as it is combined.
  6. How Does Outreach Secure Personal Information About Me?
    7. We have implemented organizational, technical, and administrative measures to protect Personal Information within our organization, including security controls to prevent unauthorized access to our systems. While we take reasonable steps to secure your Personal Information from loss, misuse, interference, unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure, you should be aware no security procedures or protocols are ever guaranteed to be 100 percent secure from intrusion or hacking, and there is therefore always some risk assumed by sharing Personal Information online.
