Our Security Measures to Protect your Personal Information

We have put in place reasonable and appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures in an effort to help safeguard Personal Information we collect. However, Springbrook cannot fully eliminate security risks associated with Personal Information. To help protect yourself, please use a strong password, do not use the same passwords you use with other accounts or services, and protect your usernames and passwords.

End Customer Data

Springbrook’s customers may electronically submit Information to the product or service for processing and storage purposes (“End Customer Data”). We may access or process End Customer Data only for the purpose of providing a product or service or preventing or addressing service or technical problems or as may be required by law. If your Personal Information has been submitted to us by a Springbrook customer and you wish to exercise any rights you may have to access, correct, amend, or delete such data, please inquire with the relevant customer directly. Since Springbrook personnel have limited ability to access Information our customers submit to our products or services, if you wish to make your request directly to Springbrook, please provide the name of the Springbrook customer who submitted your data to our product or service. We will refer your request to that customer.

Our Retention of your Personal Information

Personal Information will be retained as long as needed to fulfill legitimate business purposes for which it was collected, including the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or for a period of time specifically required or allowed by applicable regulations or laws. We will also retain and use your Personal Information for as long as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.

Cookies/Web Beacons

Our websites use cookies to recognize you when you visit our website.  We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect information on our website, mobile application, and via email.

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer. They are designed to hold a small amount of data specific to a website or server that can be accessed either by the website or your computer. We use cookies to capture information such as IP address and electronic activity data.

We use this information to remember your site preferences. Additionally, we aggregate this data to analyze site traffic and the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.

When you use our websites, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies from our servers. If you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our websites.

While we and others give you certain choices, as further outlined in this Privacy Policy, there are many ways that web browser signals and similar mechanisms can indicate your choice to disable tracking, and we may not be aware of nor honor every mechanism.

Do Not Track

Most modern web browsers give you the option to send a Do Not Track signal to the sites you visit, indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. However, there is no accepted standard for how a site should respond to this signal, and we do not take any action in response to this signal. Instead, in addition to publicly available third-party tools, we offer you the choices described in this policy to manage the collection and use of information about you.

International Storage and Transfer of your Personal Information

Springbrook is a global company with affiliates, various business processes, management structures and technical systems that cross borders. Information collected by Springbrook or on behalf of Springbrook may be stored on our computers, on our mobile devises, or on our servers, and may be transferred to, accessed from, or stored and processed in the United States.

Your Access to and Amendment of your Personal Information

Our marketing emails tell you how to “opt-out” of receiving further marketing emails. If you opt out, we may still send you non-marketing emails including emails about your accounts and our business dealings with you.

We allow you to access your Personal Information (with proper identification verification), and allow you to correct, amend or delete inaccurate Personal Information, except where the burden or expense of providing such an access is disproportionate to the individual privacy risk, or where the rights of persons other than the requesting individual risk being violated. This information request can be made by sending an email to [email protected].

Children’s Privacy

Because of the nature of our business, our services are not designed to appeal to minors. We do not knowingly attempt to solicit or receive any information from anyone under the age of 16. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us immediately.
