AppointmentStore PRIVACY POLICY
Dated November 17, 2009
AppointmentStore owns and provides various websites, services, and software that
facilitate online scheduling of appointments (collectively, the “Services”).
AppointmentStore respects your privacy and values your trust. In this Privacy
Policy, we may refer to AppointmentStore as “AppointmentStore,” “us,” or “we.” “Business
User” shall refer to any business using the Services for online scheduling and
appointment management purposes. “Consumer” shall refer to an end
consumer using the Services to schedule or modify an appointment, provide
feedback or submit a review, or utilize any other aspect of the Services. “You”
shall refer to both Consumers and Business Users. The following Privacy
Policy outlines how AppointmentStore will treat information as you use the Services. BY
USING THE SERVICES, YOU ACCEPT THE TERMS SET FORTH IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND IN
OUR TERMS OR USE.
AppointmentStore reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, update,
add, or remove portions of this Privacy Policy at any time, with or without
notice to you. Please check this Privacy Policy periodically for changes. For
Business Users, this Privacy Policy will be available in the “My Account”
section of the AppointmentStore website. Your continued use of the Services after
the posting of any changes to the Privacy Policy will signify your acceptance of
those changes.
Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”)
PII is any piece of information which can be traced back to a specific
individual user and thus potentially be used to uniquely identify, contact, or
locate that specific individual. Examples of PII include names, telephone
numbers, social security numbers, credit card numbers and other unique
identifiers. In no event will AppointmentStore (i) use PII to market its services
or those of a third party, or (ii) sell or transfer PII to third parties, or
otherwise provide third parties with access thereto, except as specifically
provided in this Privacy Policy and/or in our applicable Terms of Use.
Consumers. If a Consumer chooses to use the Service, the Consumer
may elect to provide information including, but not limited to, that Consumer’s
name, telephone number, and email address (collectively “Consumer Information”),
that may be Personally Identifiable Information. We may also collect
credit card information from Consumers in circumstances where a Business User
has decided that it requires such information to be collected from Consumers
scheduling appointments with it through the Services. We may also collect user
submitted information including but not limited to ratings & reviews of
businesses and service providers with whom the submitting Consumer has
interacted through the Services, and any responses or other postings by a
Business User.
Business Users. When a Business User registers to use the Services, we
may ask that Business User to provide business information including the
business name, type of business, email address, telephone number, and street
address (“Business Information”). We may also ask Business Users to
provide a valid credit card number and billing address so that we can process
any payments for use of the Services by such Business User, pursuant to the
Business User Terms of Use. Business Users, as registered users of the
Services, may modify their account information at any time by accessing the “My
Account” section of their AppointmentStore account when such Business User is logged into
the Services.
You should be aware that if you upload, post, and/or distribute to the Services
material, including but not limited to, Personally Identifiable Information,
questions, feedback, reviews, data, comments, ratings, suggestions, information,
text, data, software, sounds, photographs, podcasts, audio, audiovisual, video,
images, graphics, messages and other content or materials of any nature (“User
Submitted Materials”), those materials and the substantive information contained
in them may be accessible by third parties. The activities of third
parties are beyond the control of AppointmentStore. Please do not post any information
that you expect to keep private on the AppointmentStore website or in other areas of the
Services.
In the event that AppointmentStore discovers that personal information has been or is
compromised as a result of a breach of security, we will promptly notify those
persons whose personal information has been compromised, in accordance with the
notification procedures set forth in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise
required by applicable law.
Use of Personally Identifiable Information. We do not intentionally
provide PII to third parties except where you provide PII when scheduling an
appointment through the Services, when registering to use the Services as a
Business User, or to indicate interest in services advertised by one of the
businesses bookable through the Services. In any of the above situations, we
may provide that information to the appropriate Consumer, Business User or
advertiser so that they may attempt to schedule an appointment or provide you
with information regarding the advertised products or services about which you
inquired.
If a Consumer provides any Consumer Information or User Submitted Materials to
the Services that are relevant to a Business User with whom that Consumer
schedules an appointment or otherwise transacts through the Services, AppointmentStore
reserves the right to provide such Business User with the relevant Consumer
Information and/or User Submitted Materials for purposes of managing the
appointment and/or transaction with such Consumer, whether or not such
information is Personally Identifiable Information.
AppointmentStore reserves the right, pursuant to the Business User Terms of Use, to
provide relevant Business Information to third parties in order to maximize the
exposure of AppointmentStore businesses online and the number of appointments scheduled
through the Services.
We may use PII and any other information provided by a Business User or a
Consumer through the Services for internal purposes, such as sales, human
resources, marketing, and administration. We may share this information
with third parties who provide us with administrative services. If we
share any of the information collected from you with such a third party, their
use of that information will be governed by their privacy policy.
If you or any other user of the Services sends an email or provides an email
address to AppointmentStore for any reason, we reserve the right to retain that email
address to use to send future notifications in accordance with this Privacy
Policy and the applicable AppointmentStore Terms of Use.
Information and User Submitted Materials provided by a Business User on its
profile or elsewhere on the Services will be accessible by Consumers.
Information and User Submitted Materials provided by a Consumer, including any
personally identifiable information provided when such Consumer schedules an
appointment through the Services, will be made available to the Business User
with whom the Consumer is scheduling an appointment.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Non-personally identifiable information is information that, by itself, cannot
be tracked to a specific individual. Examples of non-personally
identifiable information include, but are not limited to, the type of internet
browser you are using, the type of computer operating system you are using, your
IP address, the time and date of your use of the Services, and whether or not
you clicked on hypertext links within the Services. We may collect
non-personally identifiable information while you use the Services.
Use of Non-Personally Identifiable Information
We may use the non-personally identifiable information to generate user
statistics that we may provide to prospective advertisers or partners. If we
provide any such information to others, we will provide such information in the
aggregate only and will not include any personally identifiable information
about any individual users. We may also use the non-personally
identifiable information to generate statistics that we may provide to you and
to other businesses using the Services, including, for example, the number of
appointments in a certain time period. We also may provide non-personally
identifiable information to contractors so that they can perform services for
us.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer’s hard drive to
identify your computer to our servers. If your browser is configured to
accept cookies, we will use cookies to recognize your computer when you visit
the Services so that we can provide you with a more personalized and streamlined
experience and improve the quality of the Services. If you wish, you can
configure your browser to block cookies. In order to accept and manage
appointments, reservations, or bookings made by Consumers through the Services,
however, you must have cookies enabled.
Advertisements of third-party advertisers may be displayed on the Services.
If you choose to click on a third-party advertisement or link, we may provide
non-personally identifiable information to the owning advertiser, advertising
network and/or web publisher. Also, any such advertiser, advertising
network or web publisher may use cookies or other technologies to collect
information when you are visiting their web sites. The information
advertisers or other third parties collect is governed by their individual
privacy policies. AppointmentStore does not take responsibility nor can guarantee
the content of such third-party privacy policies.
Notifications
We may use such information to send you email messages and other notifications
relating to the Services and your use of the Services. We reserve the
right to notify you through e-mail, facsimiles, text or voice messages, or
notices posted on the AppointmentStore websites, as determined by AppointmentStore in our
discretion. By using the Services, you consent to receiving such
notifications.
Business Users may opt-out of receiving notifications regarding appointments
through the Services by logging into their AppointmentStore account and changing the
notification settings; opting-out of such notifications, however, will limit the
effectiveness of the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither
Business Users nor Consumers may opt-out of receiving notifications relating to
support of the Services or other notices as required by law. If we have
provided any third party with your personal information, you will have to
contact the third-party directly with any opt-out request.
Schedule and Appointment Information
AppointmentStore will not share a Business User&rsquos; schedule with anyone, except to
the extent necessary to allow Consumers to browse and schedule appointments.
We will not share a Consumer’s personal schedule information with anyone except
the Business User with whom such Consumer schedules an appointment. Each
Business User will be able to access and view only the schedule for that
business, and only information relating to appointments for that business.
Other Sharing of Information
We may release information when necessary to comply with the law or a court
order or an investigation. We also may release information to law
enforcement to protect our rights, property, or other interests, including those
of our customers or users or to prevent illegal activities or violations of our
Terms of Use (at http://www.AppointmentStore.com/legal).
In the event that we, in whole or in part, establish a partnership with another
company, or are acquired by or merged with another company, information we
collect may be transferred to the partner or the acquiring or merging company at
time such merger, acquisition, or partnership is closed and to the extent
necessary to fulfill our obligations under such merger, acquisition, or
partnership.
Child Protection
We do not offer services to, or target, persons under the age of 13. In
compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, we will purge any
information we receive from people we believe to be children under 13 from our
database and cancel the corresponding accounts.
Security
We have implemented commercially reasonable technical and organizational
measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and
from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure, but we cannot guarantee
that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or
use your personal information for improper purposes. We cannot ensure the
security of any information transmitted to us over the Internet, and we accept
no liability for any unintentional disclosure of such information. You
acknowledge that you provide your personal information at your own risk.
Please direct any questions that you may
have regarding our Privacy Statement at any time to
