Privacy Policy

Introduction

This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) applies to all visitors and users of the UnityLocal.com hosted services and websites (collectively, the “Website” or “Websites”), which are offered by UnityLocal, LLC and/or any of its affiliates (“UnityLocal” or “we” or “us”). Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing or using any part of the Websites, you acknowledge you have been informed of and consent to our practices with regard to your personal information and data.

What Information UnityLocal Collects and Why

Information from Website Visitors

Like most website operators, UnityLocal collects basic non-personally-identifying information from Website visitors of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. We collect this information to better understand how visitors use the Website, to improve our Websites and experience for visitors, and to monitor security of the Websites. From time to time, UnityLocal may publicly release non-personally-identifying information collected from Website visitors in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the Website.

UnityLocal also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses from visitors. We collect this information to understand how visitors use the Websites, to improve performance and content, and to monitor security of the Websites.

UnityLocal may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to our Websites. For instance, UnityLocal may reveal how many visits a web page received using aggregated statistics that contain anonymous user information only.

Personally-Identifying Information

Users of the Websites may choose to interact with UnityLocal in ways that provide us with their personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that UnityLocal gathers depends on the nature of your interaction with us, as well as the amount of information you choose to share. For example, we ask visitors who use our voting webpage to provide a username and email address to identify them on the Website. We will also collect the information you provide with us in connection with creating an account on the Website. If you report a security vulnerability to UnityLocal and request public acknowledgement, then we may publicly disclose the personal information you provided to us in connection with the report, including your name to fulfill your request for acknowledgement. In each case, UnityLocal collects such personally-identifiable information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the user's interaction with or request of UnityLocal. We will not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described in this Privacy Policy.

Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent you from engaging in certain Website-related activities or being able to access and use certain features and services.

Information UnityLocal Does Not Collect

UnityLocal does not intentionally collect sensitive personal information, such as social security numbers, genetic data, or health information. Although UnityLocal does not request or intentionally collect any sensitive personal information, we realize that users might store this kind of information in a UnityLocal repository or service. If you store any sensitive personal information on UnityLocal's servers, you are consenting to our storage of that information on our servers, which are located in the United States.

If you're a child under the age of 13, you may not have an account on the Website. UnityLocal does not knowingly collect information from or direct any of our Website or content specifically to children under 13. If we learn or have reason to suspect that a user is under the age of 13, we will close the child's account.

Basis for Processing Your Information

Performance of a contract. The use of your information may be necessary to perform the contract that you have with us. For example, if you use our Websites to purchase UnityLocal product subscriptions or services, create a profile, vote, post and comment through our Websites, or request information through our Websites, we will use your information to carry out our obligation to complete and administer that contract or request.

Legitimate interests. We use your information for our legitimate interests, such as to provide you with the best content through our Websites and communications with users and the public, to improve and promote our products and services, and for administrative, security, fraud prevention and legal purposes.

Consent. We may rely on your consent to use your personal information for certain direct marketing purposes, such as sending you newsletter updates about UnityLocal products. You may withdraw your consent at any time through the unsubscribe feature provided with each marketing email or by contacting us at the addresses given at the end of this Privacy Policy.

How UnityLocal Uses and Protects Personally-Identifying Information

Sharing Your Information

UnityLocal only discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to those of its employees, contractors, subsidiaries, divisions and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on UnityLocal's behalf or to provide services available on the Website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others.

UnityLocal will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors, subsidiaries, divisions and affiliated organizations, as described above, UnityLocal discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when UnityLocal believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of UnityLocal, third parties, or the public at large.

UnityLocal takes measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

International Transfer of Information

The Website is hosted in the United States and information we collect will be stored and processed on our servers in the United States. Our employees, contractors, subsidiaries, divisions and affiliated organizations that process information for us as described above may be located in the United States or in other countries outside of your home country; by using the Website, you consent to the international transfer of your information by UnityLocal.

UnityLocal Communications with You

If you are a registered user of the Websites and have supplied your email address, UnityLocal may occasionally send you an email to tell you about security, system information, new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what's going on with UnityLocal and our products. We primarily use our blog or press pages to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. However, we may occasionally may communicate via email to people who have not explicitly opted-in to offer something of value. There's an unsubscribe link located at the bottom of each of the marketing emails we send you so you can stop receiving such emails at any time.

If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish your request in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. We will not publish your personally-identifiable information in connection with your request.

Cookies, Tracking Technologies and Do Not Track

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. UnityLocal uses cookies to help UnityLocal identify and track visitors, their usage of the Websites, and their Website access preferences. UnityLocal visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers may set their browsers to refuse cookies before using the Websites. Disabling browser cookies may cause certain features of UnityLocal's websites to not function properly.

Certain pages on the Website may set other third party cookies. For example, we may embed content, such as videos, from another site that sets a cookie. These sites set their own cookies and we do not have access or control over these cookies. The use of cookies by third parties is not covered by our Privacy Policy.

For more information on cookies, visit our Cookies Policy.

Tracking Technologies

We use third party tracking services, but we don't use these services to track you individually or collect your personally identifiable-information. We use these services to collect information about how the Website performs and how users navigate through and use the Website so we can monitor and improve our content, services, and Website performance.

Third party tracking services gather certain simple, non-personally identifying information over time, such as your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring and exit pages, timestamp, and similar data about your use of the Website. We do not link this information to any of your personal information such as your user name.

Do Not Track

"Do Not Track" is a privacy preference you can set in your browser if you do not want online services to collect and share certain kinds of information about your online activity from third party tracking services. UnityLocal does not track your online browsing activity on other online services over time and we do not permit third-party services to track your activity on our site beyond our basic tracking. Because we do not share this kind of data with third party services or permit this kind of third party data collection for any of our users, and we do not track our users on third-party websites ourselves, we do not need to respond differently to an individual browser's Do Not Track setting.

To exercise your privacy rights, you can email us at the address given below in the 'Contacting UnityLocal About Your Privacy' section of this Privacy Policy.

Data Retention and Deletion

If you already have an account on the Websites, you may access, update, or alter your basic user profile information by logging into your account and updating profile settings.

UnityLocal will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to perform our contractual obligations, provide you services through the Website, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, preserve legal rights, or enforce our agreements.

In certain jurisdictions, you can request that your personal information be deleted. Please note that if you request the erasure of your personal information:

• We may retain your personal information as necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as prevention of money laundering, fraud detection and prevention, and enhancing safety. For example, if we suspend an UnityLocal Account for fraud or safety reasons, we may retain information from that UnityLocal Account to prevent that Member from opening a new UnityLocal Account in the future.

• Information you have shared with others (e.g., Reviews, votes, opinions, messages, comments, postings) will continue to be publicly visible on UnityLocal, even after your UnityLocal Account is cancelled. However, attribution of such information to you will be removed. Some copies of your information (e.g., log records) will remain in our database, but are disassociated from personal identifiers.

• We may retain and use your personal information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations. For example, UnityLocal may keep information for tax, legal reporting and auditing obligations.

• Because we take measures to protect data from accidental or malicious loss and destruction, residual copies of your personal information may not be removed from our backup systems for a period of time.

Requests to delete your personal information can be done by contacting UnityLocal and requesting your personal information to be deleted. Personal information will only be deleted when confirmed that the person requesting the deletion is the same person on the account.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, UnityLocal may change its privacy policy from time to time, and in UnityLocal's sole discretion. We will provide notification to users who have provided us email addresses of material changes to this Privacy Policy through our Website prior to the change taking effect by posting a notice on our home page or sending email to the email address specified in your account.
