PRIVACY POLICY

COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY

Your access to and use of the PIETZO, LLC. website properties, including, without limitation, www.PIETZO.com (collectively, referred to as the “Website”) is governed by this Privacy Policy. PIETZO, Inc. (“PIETZO”, “we”, “us” and/or “our”) values your privacy, and we want to make your experience online satisfying and safe. This Privacy Policy governs information you provide to PIETZO via the Website. In it we tell you how we may collect, use, and in some instances share this information.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT

Information You Provide:

Generally, you may visit the Website without providing any personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”). However, we may ask you to provide us with certain Personal Information if you would like to participate in some activities available on this Website, or benefit from certain of its services. The Personal Information that may be collected through the Website includes, but is not limited to your name, home address, telephone number, and email address. Through the use of forms available on the Website, we may collect this Personal information to help provide you with our services and respond to your requests. 

In general, the types and amount of Personal Information we collect will vary depending on the particular activity or service for which the Personal Information is being collected. We try to limit our requests for Personal Information to that which we believe is minimally necessary to accomplish the purpose. 

We may also aggregate Personal Information collected from you with Personal Information collected from our other users. Once aggregated, this information (the “Aggregated Data”) does not personally identify you and may be used by us for various purposes, including without limitation, to conduct internal research, to market our Website and our services and to enhance the Website and our services. 

Email:

We may communicate with you by email using the email address that you provide to us. When we do so, you will be given the opportunity to opt-out of commercial email messages from us. If you opt out of the receipt of marketing email, we may still use your email address for various administrative purposes. Should you not desire any email communications from us, you may be unable to continue using the Website and/or various services in certain ways. 

Usage Tracking:

We track Website usage data to improve our services, and we regularly analyze traffic patterns throughout our Website. This information is collected to help improve our Website and services, including, without limitation, the flow and usability of our Websites. 

Cookies:

PIETZO may place a text file called a “cookie” in the browser files of your computer and use it to track user traffic patterns (as described above). PIETZO uses unencrypted cookies to authenticate the user on each page after the user logs on to our Website. 

The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information, although it will enable us to correlate your use of our Website to Personal Information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. Please note that the only Personal Information a cookie can contain is that Personal Information which you supply yourself. A cookie cannot read data from your hard disk or read cookie files created by other websites. 

You can refuse cookies by setting your browser preferences to reject them. If you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. When considering whether to allow cookies, please note that some PIETZO features and services may not function properly if your cookies are disabled. 

Additional Uses of Personal Information:

We process Personal Information as described above and also for such purposes as:

• To deliver customized results, products, and services to users. 
• To conduct research and analysis, in order to maintain and improve our products and services
• To alert you to product updates, special offers, updated information, and other new services (you may opt out of these communications if you choose) 
• To contact you in response to your requests for information. 

Children Under Age 18:

PIETZO does not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Information from anyone under the age of 18 or nor do we knowingly allow such persons to register on our Website . If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register for PIETZO or send us any Personal Information (, such as your name, address, telephone number, or email address) about yourself. No one under age 18 may provide any Personal Information to or on our Website. In the event that we learn that we have collected Personal Information from a child under age 18 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any Personal Information from or about a child under 18, please contact us at [email protected].

USER ACCESS

We make a good-faith effort to provide you with access to your Personal Information, so that you can request the correction of any Personal Information that may be inaccurate and/or request the deletion of all of your Personal Information in its entirety. We may decline to process access requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical, or where information is required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes.

OUR INFORMATION-SHARING PRACTICES

We do not share Personal Information collected through the Website with third parties for their direct-marketing purposes. If in the future we decide to do so, we will provide you with notice and an opportunity to opt out of such sharing. We may occasionally share Aggregated Data with third parties. Aggregated Data does not personally identify you or otherwise allow anyone to identify you individually. 

Vendors and Service Providers:

We may provide Personal Information to, or permit access to Personal Information by, our vendors and service providers, only if they are processing Personal Information on our behalf. 

Carrying Out Your Requests and Protecting our Rights and/or the Rights of Others: 

PIETZO may also share Personal Information about Website users with third parties as necessary in order to carry out a user's request, and/or when PIETZO reasonably believes that doing so is legally required or is in the company's interest to protect its property or legal rights, and/or the rights or property of others. 

Merger, Bankruptcy, or Sale of PIETZO:

If PIETZO should ever file for bankruptcy or have some or all its assets sold to or merged with another entity, Personal Information and other data we have collected through our Website will be treated as a PIETZO asset and, as a result may be transferred to another entity. 

Promotions and Other Programs:

From time to time, you may be given the opportunity to participate in sweepstakes, contests, giveaways, or other promotions and programs offered by PIETZO, either alone or with promotional partners. Participation in these promotions or programs may require you to submit information about yourself, including Personal Information. Our use and sharing of information collected through a promotion or program, including Personal Information, will be governed by the official rules or agreement governing that promotion or program, as well as by this Privacy Policy. The terms of those rules or that agreement will take precedence over any conflicting provisions of this Privacy Policy.
