Data Protection and Privacy
Any time you call IvyLine customer service, we may request that you provide
identification information such as your home address, phone number, and zip code. We will use this data to facilitate and process refunds, to detect fraud and to comply with applicable laws and regulations. Authorized Third-Party Service Providers
We provide services and products through third parties. These “Third-Party Service
Providers” perform functions on our behalf, like sending out and distributing our administrative and promotional emails, administering contests, removing repetitive information on customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, search results and links, operating the Website, troubleshooting, and providing customer service. We may share your Personally Identifiable Information with Service Providers to accomplish our administrative tasks. We require our Third-Party Service Providers to agree not to use your Personally Identifiable Information, except to the extent necessary to perform the services we have engaged them to perform. We may also collect personal information about you from individuals and companies (“Affiliates”) with whom we have business relationships.
Third-Party Payment Processors
IvyLine does not collect or store payment data. We utilize third-party payment
processors. As users shop on our site, they click a button to pay using their bank account, credit card, debit card or PayPal account. In all cases, they are taken to a secure, third- party-hosted page. Payment information is protected during transmission from the user directly to the third-party payment processor by a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection. Once stored, this information is protected through various security measures in place at the credit card processor’s data center. Third-party payment processors must annually attest to maintaining Payment Card Industry (“PCI”) Data Security Standard (“DSS”) compliance. This includes building and sustaining a secure network to protect payment card and cardholder information, encrypting data in transit,
implementing strong access control measures and regularly monitoring and testing
networks and technological elements such as firewalls to meet security requirements. Security and Sharing of Information
We take security seriously and take numerous precautions to protect the security of
Personally Identifiable Information. At any time, a user can edit his or her own personal information and view his or her own website activity on the user’s tasty profile page. You can access your Personally Identifiable Information on our Website through a password and your email address. This password is encrypted. We recommend that
you do not share your password with anyone. In addition, your Personally Identifiable
Information resides on a secure server that only selected personnel and contractors have access to. We encrypt certain sensitive information using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology while communicating with your computer to ensure that your Personally Identifiable Information is safe as it is transmitted to us. We also encrypt personally identifiable information stored in backups of our database so that the data is not easily accessible while being stored offline. We also use Third-Party Service Providers to track and analyze Non-Personally Identifiable usage and volume statistical information from our Users to administer our Website and constantly improve its quality. We may also publish this information for promotional purposes. We may disclose this information to any of our business partners, advertisers and other third parties as we may choose. Please note that this is
not Personally Identifiable Information, only general summaries of the activities of our
Users. Such data is collected on our behalf, and is owned and used by us. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Likewise, IvyLine may be required to store some sensitive data in relation to our transactions with you as a result of our internal records requirements, as dictated by financial regulations or as dictated by state or federal law. Such data will also be encrypted in storage, but no encryption system is 100% secure. As a result, while we employ commercially reasonable security measures to protect data and seek to partner with companies which do the same, we cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted to or from the Website, and are not responsible
for the actions of any third parties that may receive any such information.
IvyLine does permit third-party advertising on our Site. We may remarket your information. Remarketing is a way for us to connect with users using a variety of advertising networks, based upon your past interactions with the Site. We may hire
third- party marketing vendors to perform remarketing services. As a result, third-party
vendors may show IvyLine ads on sites you visit on the Internet. We may share your information in a Business Transfer. As with any other business, we could merge with or be acquired by another company. If this occurs, the successor
company would acquire the information we maintain, including Personally Identifiable
Information. However, Personally Identifiable Information would remain subject to this Privacy Policy. We may share your information for our Protection and the Protection of Others. We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Website; to cooperate with law enforcement; enforce or apply this Privacy Policy, our Website Terms of Use or other agreements; or protect the rights, property or safety of the Website, its Users or others.
