This Privacy Policy explains how 100 Steps 2 Startup Inc. (“us” or “we”) collects, uses, discloses, stores, safeguards and retains your Personal Information. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, you may not use our website, services or products.

Personal Information

“Personal Information” means information, other than business contact information, about an identifiable individual. You should exercise discretion when disclosing your Personal Information to us, and should not disclose sensitive or confidential information that you wish to remain private. We will keep Personal Information that you provide to us private, and will disclose such Personal Information only in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Application

This Privacy Policy applies to Personal Information that we collect when you use our website or services, and to public Personal Information that we collect from third party websites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies or other entities that we do not own or control, or to people that we do not employ or manage. Any Personal Information you supply, or authorize us, implicitly or explicitly, to supply to any third parties is governed by the privacy policies of those third parties.

Collection and Use:

We will collect and use your Personal Information in connection with the provision of products and services from our website including: (i) delivery of the services, (ii) carrying out the transactions you have requested, (iii) for billing purposes, (iv) in order to communicate with you about new products and services, promotional offers, and surveys to improve the services, and (v) to prevent fraud and other prohibited or illegal activities. We may use your Personal Information, in conjunction with information available from third parties, to provide the complete functionality of our services.

When you access the Internet, the computers that host websites you visit (“servers”) automatically receive some anonymous information. This “usage data” may include a record of which web pages a web browser has visited. We may use usage data to provide advertising about goods and services that may be of interest to our customers, or to provide customized features and services.

We and our advertisers may use various kinds of software devices to collect information about Internet use. Small files called “cookies” may be attached to your web browser. These files identify your browser and save information such as user IDs so that we servers can track web browsers. We use cookies to enable you to sign in to our services and to store your preferences and other information on your computer. You can set your browser to disable cookies, but our website may not work properly if you disable cookies.

We may elect to use third party advertising companies to advertise on our website, and in these instances may use a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. web beacons/web bugs/action tags/pixel tags) to better manage advertising on our website. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. Clear gifs may ping or alert the advertiser’s server about the online movements of web users. Web beacons help us measure the effectiveness of our website and our advertising. Web beacons also help us measure the effectiveness of our e-mail campaigns. The information collected may include some limited Personal Information, and web beacons allow us to recognize users by accessing cookies. We may also combine the information that we collect through web beacons with other Personal Information that has been collected from you. All this information is used to better tailor our advertising and promotions to you. We also use web beacons in conjunction with one-to-one marketing e-mails sent by our users to enable them to better track the effectiveness of such e-mails.

We may permit third parties to compile individual information or aggregated statistics from our use of web beacons to enable such third parties to determine the effectiveness of online marketing and to allow such third parties to develop purchasing or other statistics on the advertiser’s site. All aggregate statistical information is anonymous. We do not share any Personal Information with such third parties. We do not allow web beacons on our Website to be used by third parties to access your Personal Information.
