Sharing and Disclosure of Your Information
We may disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does not identify any individual, without restriction.
We may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide:
To our subsidiaries and affiliates (including but not limited to internal and operational reasons).
To contractors, service providers, and other third parties We use to support our business (including social media companies, networks, analytic companies, and other vendors for the purposes of marketing and advertising, promotional partners, any other service providers that perform operational activities in support of the business).
To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of HigherRing’s assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by HigherRing about the Website users is among the assets transferred.

To comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request.
If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of HigherRing, our customers, or others.
Data Retention
We retain personal information We collect from you where We have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax, or accounting requirements).
When We have no ongoing legitimate business need to process Your personal information, We will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then We will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Accessing and Correcting Your Information
You can review and change your personal information by sending us an email to privacy@higherring.com to request access to, correct, or delete any personal information that you have provided to us. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.
Do Not Track Settings
HigherRing does not track its customers over time and across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. However, some third-party websites track your browsing activities when you use their websites so that they can tailor their content to your preferences. If you are visiting such sites, your web browser may allow you to set the DNT signal on your browser so that third parties (particularly advertisers) know you do not want to be tracked.
Transfer Of Data
Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction, where the data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.
If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to the United States and process it there.
Your consent to this Privacy Policy, followed by your submission of such information, represents your agreement to that transfer.
HigherRing will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. No transfer of your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place, including the security of your data and other personal information.
We may send you marketing emails, which you can unsubscribe from by clicking the link at the bottom of the email. We share your contact information with MailChimp, our email marketing provider so that they can send these emails on our behalf.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Information
Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which We collect it. However, We will normally collect personal information from you only (i) where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, such as providing You with the Website or services that you or the organization you are affiliated with requested from us; (ii) where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your rights; or (iii) where We have your consent to do so. We have a legitimate interest in operating our Website and communicating with you as necessary to provide the Website, for example when responding to your queries, improving our Website, undertaking marketing, or for the purposes of detecting or preventing illegal activities.
In some cases, We may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from You or may otherwise need the personal information to protect Your vital interests or those of another person. If We ask You to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with You, We will make this clear at the relevant time and advise You whether the provision of Your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information).
Service Providers
We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Website ("Service Providers"), provide the Website on our behalf, perform Website-related services, or assist us in analyzing how our Website is used.
These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
Analytics
We use third-party Website Providers to monitor and analyze the use of our Website. Examples are:
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.
You can opt out of having your activity on the Website available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about your visit activity.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for any third-party sites or services' content, privacy policies, or practices.

Our Website does not address anyone under the age of 18 ("Children"). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Children have provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
