Our Use And Disclosure of Information
Ryse Social Solutions™ will not disclose any personally identifiable information about any individual except as set forth in this Privacy Policy. This applies to information about our customers and information our customers provide to us about their customers. We are not limited in any way in our use of non-personal information that does not permit direct association with any specific individual or non-identifiable aggregate information about our users (such as the number of customers who use our services, the geographic distribution of our users, the amount of information located and/or removed, etc.).
Internal Uses of Your Personally Identifiable Information
We collect, store, and process your personally identifiable information on servers located in the United States. Due to the unpredictable nature of Internet routing, your information may pass through other countries while in transit to our servers. We use the information we collect about you in order to:
- Develop and deliver our services
- Process your transactions
- Provide customer service and manage your account
- Improve our products, services, and marketing
We provide access to personally identifiable information about our users only to those who require it for the above purposes.
Ryse Social Solutions™ will not sell or rent any of your personally identifiable information to third parties. Ryse Social Solutions™ will not share any of your personally identifiable information with third parties except in the limited circumstances described below.
We share information with service providers under contract who help with our business operations such as payment and order processing, fraud investigation, bill collection, and information management and analytics. If content generation is included in your services, we may share information with service providers under contract to create, edit, and/or publish such content. These third parties are obligated to protect your information and are contractually prohibited from using your personally identifiable information for any other purpose. They are never permitted to share your information with any third parties. They are authorized to use your personal information only as necessary to provide these services to Ryse Social Solutions™.
We disclose information that we, in good faith, believe is appropriate to cooperate in investigations of fraud or other illegal activity, to conduct investigations of violations of our Privacy of Use, and/or to protect our rights, protect your safety, and the safety of others. For example, this means that if we conduct a fraud investigation and conclude that one side has engaged in deceptive practices, we reserve the right to provide that person or entity’s contact information (but not bank account or credit card information) to victims who request it.
We disclose information in response to a subpoena, warrant, court order, levy, attachment, order of a court-appointed receiver, or other comparable legal process, including subpoenas from private parties in a civil action. If the subpoena seeks information about an identified subscriber or limited group of subscribers, we will make reasonable business efforts to contact the subscriber(s) before providing information to the party that requests it. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so in all cases, whether due to a time limit, court order, inability to effectively contact a subscriber, or other circumstances.
When a user signs up for a co-branded version of our service through links to RyseSocialSolutions.com from our co-branded partner’s website, Ryse Social Solutions™ will share with the co-branded partner that user’s name, e-mail address, and physical address in order to provide enhanced integration between Ryse Social Solutions™’s services and the services of our co-branded partner. If you do not want your information shared with Ryse Social Solutions™’s co-branded partner, sign up for Ryse Social Solutions™ directly through RyseSocialSolutions.com and other sub-domains and not through a link from our partner’s website.
We disclose information to your agent or legal representative (such as the holder of a power of attorney that you grant, or a guardian appointed for you).
We share information with companies that provide public relations and marketing services for us. Such information will only be shared by us to customize, measure, and improve our products, services, and advertising. It will not be shared with third parties for their marketing purposes. These third parties are contractually obligated
