In addition, Mericle may hire other companies to perform services on our behalf such as operating certain aspects of the Site or sending you email. These other companies may be supplied with or have access to your Personal Data or other information for the sole purpose of providing these services to us or on our behalf. Mericle may also use third-party ad servers or ad networks to deliver ads to you on Mericle’s behalf. These third-party ad servers may be supplied with or have access to your Personal Data or other information for the sole purpose of providing these services to us or on our behalf. They also may collect and use certain Personal Data about your visits to the Site in order to send advertisements that may be of interest to you.

We may also on occasion combine information about you that we have with information we obtain from other parties to enhance our ability to market to you those products or services that may be of interest to you.

We may need to disclose Personal Data or other information collected from you when required by law or if we have a good-faith belief that the action is necessary to comply with a pending judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on Mericle or to protect our rights or the rights of others, to fight fraud, identity theft, to ensure the integrity and operation of our business and systems, or to protect the rights, property or safety of Mericle, its employees, members or others.

We may also disclose your information (including your Personal Data) to a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, change of control, reorganization or other sale or transfer of all or some of Mericle’s asset, whether as a going concern or as a part of bankruptcy or liquidation or similar proceeding, in which such information is among the assets transferred.

Control of your Personal Data; Choices concerning Personal Data
When you give us Personal Data, Mericle will not share that information with third parties without your permission, other than for the limited exceptions provided herein. Such Personal Data will only be used for the purposes set forth herein. Mericle may send periodic emails informing you of changes and updates regarding the Website.

You may exercise control over our collection of Personal Data as follows:

With respect to Personal Information, please contact us at mericle@mericle.com if you would like us to delete or modify your Personal Information, or if you would like to opt-out of our use or disclosure of your Personal Information or if you do not wish to be contacted by us for promotional purposes.

With respect to Google® Analytics Data, please install the Google® Analytics opt-out browser add-on, as discussed above.

How we Share Your Information
We will not disclose your Personal Data to others without your permission, except as explained in this Privacy Policy.

Aggregate Information
On an aggregate basis only, we may collect comprehensive demographic, business information and data, and other non-identifying information about users of the Website. Mericle will never disclose any Personal Data as part of this aggregate information but we may lend, sell, share or otherwise disclose aggregate information with others so we can perform research and provide the results to third parties, enhance and market the Website, and conduct accounting and process record keeping functions.

Other websites and links
We may include links to other websites that we think will be of interest to you or operated by our business partners, affiliates, advertisers, and others. These third parties have separate data collection and privacy practices independent from ours, and Mericle cannot be responsible for their policies or activities. Please contact those third parties directly if you have questions about their privacy policies.

IP Addresses
Additionally, we may use IP address information to count and track aggregate visits to Website, to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer the Website. Mericle does not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable so while a particular user’s session can be tracked, the user remains completely anonymous. Mericle 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 sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. Third parties that have content embedded on Mericle’s Sites such as a social feature may set cookies on your browser or obtain information about the fact that a web browser visited a specific Mericle site from a certain IP address. Third parties cannot collect any other personally identifiable information from Mericle’s Sites unless you provide it to them directly.

Accessing and Updating Information
Mericle does not currently have an online method for users to delete their Personal Data contained in our database. However, you may change or update the Personal Information we have collected, request that we delete it, or request that we change how we use it by sending an email to mericle@mericle.com with your instructions. Please note that this deletion may otherwise impact prior transactions performed on the Website. We will not accommodate a change or deletion if we believe doing so will violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

Changes to this Privacy Policy
We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy not just the first time you visit the Website but periodically afterwards since we may modify our Privacy Policy from time to time. The date of the last update of the Privacy Policy will always be posted below:

THIS PRIVACY POLICY WAS LAST REVISED ON: JUNE 5, 2018

If we make any substantive changes to our Privacy Policy in the future with regard to how we use your Personal Data, we will incorporate those changes here and will notify you via [insert notice mechanism]. Your continued use of the Website after the changes are posted constitutes your agreement to the changes, both with regard to information we have previously collected from you and with regard to information we collect from you in the future. If you do not agree to the changes, please discontinue use of the Website. Lastly, if Mericle is sold or merged with another company, your Personal Data will be included as part of the sale as noted above but unless you are notified that the Privacy Policy is changed, your Personal Data and other collected information will be maintained in the same manner.

International Users
While our Website is meant for use in the United States by United States residents, like almost every website, our Website is accessible around the world. By visiting the Website and providing your information, you acknowledge and agree that your Personal Data can be stored for the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy. We process and store your information in North America and your information may be stored on servers located outside your residential jurisdiction and which may have less stringent privacy practices than your own. If you access the Website from outside the United States, your usage of the Website constitutes consent to the transfer of your data outside of your country and to North America.

Security
This Website has industry-standard security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control, and we make good faith efforts to store your Personal Data in a secure operating environment. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Data, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
