Collection of Personally Identifiable Information

You are not required to provide any personally identifiable information to visit or read the general site. RejectedParents.net automatically collects Usage Data (as described below). RejectedParents.net collects personally identifiable information on the site only when you provide it. The types of personally identifiable information collected depends on the nature of the submission or the features of the site used by you, but could include your name, address, phone number, email address, and credit card information. We collect this information to personalize your experience and give you the most useful information possible pursuant to how you interact with the site, provide information, join member areas, and so forth.

Categories of personal data include “identity data,” which includes name or other similar identifiers, and “contact data,” which includes address, email address, and telephone numbers.

Additionally, we may collect certain other types of information that, along with identity data and contact data, may be considered and specifically named “personal data” in certain jurisdictions, including the European Union (“EU”), such as:

  • Financial data (credit card, debit card, or other personal payment card details)
  • Transaction data (details about payments to/from you)
  • Technical data (internet protocol (IP) address, location data, login data, and device and browser information)
  • Profile data (username and password, avatar if you upload one, and other information you share on the site)
  • Usage data (information about how you use the site and any advertising we serve)
  • Marketing and communications data (your preferences in receiving marketing from us)

If you are situated in the EU, please see “Additional EU Disclosures” for specifics on our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal data and additional rights you have under applicable law.

We use different methods of collection of your data including “direct interactions” (when you give your information by registering or contacting us). This includes when you:

  • Create an account on the site
  • Register as a member
  • Subscribe to any newsletter or other publication
  • Purchase products on the site
  • Request marketing to be sent to you; or
  • Give us feedback

We also may use “automated technologies,” so when you interact with the site, we may automatically collect technical data and usage data about you. Some of the ways in which we may collect data are described below.

Passive information collection: The site automatically collects information and may customize your visit through technical means including “cookies.” Google, as a third-party vendor, uses DART cookies, which enable it to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy. This site is not responsible for any third-party’s cookie policies and site users must rely on those third parties for cookie information, choices, or opt-out.

The site may use strictly necessary technical cookies that are required for log-in, shopping cart, e-billing, as well as other analytical/performance cookies to know how users interact with the website content (for improved functionality). Functional type cookies may recognize you upon return visit.

Clickstream data: As anyone uses the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left at each site visited. This information is sometimes referred to as “clickstream data.” This data can be collected and stored by a website’s server. Clickstream data may identify computer type, browsing software, and website address last visited or that linked to this site. This site may collect clickstream data in aggregate form to determine time spent on the site, pages visited, and other visit information, which can aid in functional site changes for improved user experience.

Web beacons: Web beacons, aka pixel tags, internet tags, clear GIFS, or single-pixel GIFS, are electronic images embedded into a site.

IP address logs: The site may log Internet Protocol (IP) addresses—the location of your computer on the Internet. Cookies may enable recognition of users upon return visits for improved functionality and personalization. IP addresses may also be logged to compile site usage information including traffic source, pages visited, visit duration, browser type, etc.

Information use: Personally identifiable information collected via your use of the site may be stored on servers or in a cookie on your computer and may be used by the site for any of the following purposes: To follow up upon your previous request. To communicate with you regarding any services or promotions. To send promotional materials, newsletters, or other content (unless you opt out). To improve functionality for your experience. To manage site’s relationship with any affiliate or other third-party. For site administration, analysis, research, development, optimization, and other internal purposes, including without limitation, to compile Usage Data.

Usage Data: Usage data is used by the site for administrative, analytical, research, optimization, and/or other purposes. Usage data may be used to communicate with you, and you may opt out … except when communication is transactional in nature.

Information sharing: The site may provide identifiable information that you provide with third-parties as follows:

  • The site maintains relationships with some third-party providers in connection with some offered products and services. If you request information or services through the site, you agree that we may share personally identifiable information as may be necessary to provide the product or service to you. For example, if you purchase a course or program, your information may be shared n order for you to access the product or service.
  • Except as provided herein, the site does not disclose your personally identifiable information for any purpose.
  • The site may at some point work with third parties that provide services on its behalf. Examples include providers for analytical, development, promotional, research, credit card processing, etc. This could include a third party asked to provide a sweepstakes in connection with the site. Or, some third party product you purchase. In those cases, your personally identifiable information may be shared. These are largely hypothetical as the site currently has no sweepstakes or such. If you join or otherwise use a fee-based feature, a third-party credit card service is used.
  • The site expressly reserves the right to release any personally identifiable information or other information you provide to third parties under the following circumstances: a) when required by law or legal process, b) to investigate and/or take action against illegal activity, suspected abuse, or unauthorized use of the site or services, c) to protect the property or safety of our users or others, d) to enforce our Terms and Conditions/Terms of Service, e) in connection with any sale or other transfer of ownership in whole or in part of RejectedParents.net or any portion. If you make any personally identifiable information publicly available on the site, anyone may see the information and the site is not responsible for such use.

It’s important to us that your personally identifiable information is protected. Any such information is kept secure and is accessible only by authorized personnel in order to perform operations governed by this statement.

Additonal EU Disclosures

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. you have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
  • Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
  • Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
  • Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

Opting out of Cookies
If you want to stop or restrict the placement of cookies or flush any cookies that may already be on your computer or device, please refer to and adjust your web browser preferences. By deleting cookies or disabling future cookies you may not be able to access certain areas or features or some of the site’s functionality may be affected. Cookies and similar items are not used by us to automatically retrieve personally identifiable information from your device without your knowledge.

Cross Border Transfers
The site is maintained in the United States. If you are visiting from the regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from those in the United States, please note that you may be transferring your information to the United States and in other countries around the world. You freely and specifically give us your consent to export and use your information within the United States and in other countries as specified in this Privacy Policy. You understand that data stored in the United States may be subject to lawful requests by the courts or law enforcement authorities in the United States. If you are situated in the EU, whenever we transfer your personal data to processors outside of the EU, we ensure appropriate and suitable safeguards are used in such transfer. We may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in the EU.
