Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 7, 2017

Overview

LaunchBoom (“we”, “us” or “our”) is committed to detailing the use of personal information of individuals who visit the crowdfundedsummit.com and www.launchboom.com  websites (the “Sites”) and use the services available thereon (the “Services”). Amendments to this Privacy Policy will be posted to the Sites and will be effective when posted. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of any amendment to the Privacy Policy shall constitute your acceptance of such amendment. You should periodically review this Privacy Policy and check the “Last Updated” date at the top of the document to familiarize yourself with the most recent version of this Privacy Policy.

Consent and Information Collection and Use

When you join us as a user of our Services, we ask for personal information that will be used to activate your account, provide the Services to you, communicate with you about the status of your account, and for other purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. Your name, company name, address, telephone number, email address, credit card information and certain other information about you may be required by us to provide the Services or disclosed by you during your use of the Services. You may also be asked to create a private user ID and password, which will become part of your account information.

By providing personal information to us and by requesting us to provide you with the Services, you voluntarily consent to the collection, use and disclosure of such personal information as specified in this Privacy Policy. Without limiting the foregoing, we may on occasion ask you to consent when we collect, use, or disclose your personal information in specific circumstances. Sometimes your consent will be implied through your conduct with us if the purpose of the collection, and our expected use or disclosure of your information, is or should be obvious and you voluntarily provide the information. Please be assured, however, that all collection, use and disclosure of personal information will be in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We may use your personal information and other information collected from you for the following purposes:

To provide the Services to you and to improve the quality of the Sites and Services,
To provide you with newsletters, RSS feeds, or other communications or services which you have signed up for or otherwise agreed to receive,
To provide information to you so that you may use the Sites and Services more effectively,
To create, manage and control your account information, and to verify access rights to Services and software,
To bill your account,
To communicate with you for the purpose of informing you of changes or additions to the Services, or of the availability of any Service we provide,
To assess service levels, monitor traffic patterns and gauge popularity of different service options,
To communicate with you about products or services that may be of interest to you, either from us or third parties
To enforce this Privacy Policy,
To respond to claims of any violation of our rights or those of any third parties,
To cooperate with legal, criminal or regulatory investigations or proceedings,
To respond to your requests for customer service, and
To protect the rights, property or personal safety of you, us, our users and the public; and as required or authorized by law.

 

We may occasionally communicate with you regarding our products, services, news and events. You have the option to not receive marketing e-mails from us. We provide an opt-out function within all email communications of this nature, or will cease to communicate with you for this purpose, if you contact us and tell us not to communicate this information to you. The only kind of these communications that you may not “opt-out” of are those required to communicate announcements related to the Services, including information specific to your account (such as confirmation emails), planned Services suspensions and outages. We will attempt to minimize this type of communication to you.

Please be aware that, although LaunchBoom collects your email address if you have indicated interest in one of our clients’ landing pages and will provide it to the owner of that landing page so that they may communicate with you about their launch, LaunchBoom does not transmit their marketing e-mails and we are not responsible for that person’s use of your email address. Our only communication with you in this situation will be to inform you of your privacy rights and to notify you of other clients’ products time to time, which you may immediately choose to opt-out.

Children’s Privacy

Our Sites is not intended for children under thirteen (13) years of age. We do not knowingly provide the Sites or the Services to, and will not knowingly collect personal information from, children under the age of 13 or anyone else under the age of consent. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us through our support page.

Sharing Your Information

We will share your information with third parties in accordance with your instructions or as necessary to provide you with a specific Service or otherwise in accordance with applicable privacy laws. For example, if you indicate an interest in a certain launch by providing us with your email address, we will share your email address with that website owner, who may use it to contact you. In addition, we may disclose your personal and non-personal information to our agents, contractors and service providers who are engaged to perform functions on our behalf (such as processing of payments, provision of data storage, hosting of our website, marketing of our products and services, conducting audits, and performing web analytics). These third party contractors and service providers (i) shall be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to provide the service, and (ii) must protect personal information to the same extent as LaunchBoom, including not using it for any improper purpose.

We may also disclose your personal information to third parties when we believe, in good faith and in our sole discretion, that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) enforce or apply our Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations thereof, (b) comply with legal or regulatory requirements or cooperate with a law enforcement or regulatory investigation, (c) protect the rights, property or safety of LaunchBoom, our users or other third parties, (d) prevent a crime or protect national security, or (e) detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.

Information about our users, including personal information, may be disclosed as part of any merger, acquisition, or sale of LaunchBoom and/or its assets, as well as in the unlikely event of insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership, in which case personal information would be transferred as one of the business assets of the company.

We may also disclose non-personally identifiable information on an aggregated, anonymous basis (see “Aggregated Data” section below) to our business partners, merchants, advertisers, investors, potential buyers and other third parties if we deem such disclosure, in our sole discretion, to have sound business reasons or justifications.

Aggregated Data

We may also use your personal information and information about your Sites activity to generate Aggregated Data for internal use and for sharing with others. “Aggregated Data” means records which have been stripped of information potentially identifying Sites users, and which have been manipulated or combined to provide generalized, anonymous information. Aggregated Data will not disclose you as the source or subject of the information.

Links

The Sites may contain links to other sites and we are not responsible for the privacy or security practices or the content of such sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of linked sites. Their privacy policies and practices differ from our policies and practices.

Cookies and Other Information-Gathering Technologies

We use cookies to track user activity. Cookies are small amounts of data that are transferred to your web browser by a web server and are stored on your computer’s hard drive. We use cookies to track which page variant a visitor has seen, to track if a visitor has clicked on a page variant, to monitor traffic patterns and to gauge popularity of service options. We will use this information to deliver relevant content and services to you. This also allows us to make sure that visitors see the landing page they expect to see if they return to the same web URL, and it allows us to tell you how many people click on our clients’ landing pages.

If you do not wish to accept cookies, you can usually set your browser to decline them, and if you wish to delete or disable cookies previously placed on your computer, the “help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to do so. Please note, however, that if you choose to set your browser to decline, delete or disable cookies, you may not be able to access certain areas or features of our Sites.

In addition to cookies, we or our service providers may use web beacons, pixels and similar technologies on our Sites and in email messages or newsletters. These tiny electronic images can be used to assist us in determining how many users have visited certain pages or opened messages or newsletters. However, we do NOT use these images to collect personal information.

 

This website uses Google AdWords

This website uses the Google AdWords remarketing service to advertise on third party websites (including Google) to previous visitors to our site. It could mean that we advertise to previous visitors who haven’t completed a task on our site, for example using the contact form to make an enquiry. This could be in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page, or a site in the Google Display Network. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the 1hourbreak.com website. Of course, any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and Google’s privacy policy.

You can set preferences for how Google advertises to you using the Google Ad Preferences page, and if you want to you can opt out of interest-based advertising entirely by cookie settings or permanently using a browser plugin.

Your Postings

We may provide areas on our Sites where you can post information about yourself, communicate with others, post reviews or upload content. Whenever you disclose personal information publicly (such as on publicly viewable web pages), that information becomes public and can be collected and used by others, including for the sending of unsolicited messages. We can’t control who reads your posting or what others may do with information you voluntarily post, so we encourage you to use your discretion with respect to posting personal information.

Your California Privacy Rights

A California resident who has provided personal information to a business with whom he/she has established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes (“California Customer”) is entitled to request information about whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. In general, if the business has made such a disclosure of personal information, upon receipt of a request by a California Customer, the business is required to provide a list of all third parties to whom personal information was disclosed in the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of personal information that were disclosed. California Customers may request this information from LaunchBoom by emailing us at support[at]launchboom.com. Please note that we are only required to respond to one request per customer each year, and we are not required to respond to requests made by means other than through this email address. Please also be aware that not all information sharing is covered by the California requirements and only information on covered sharing will be included in our response.
