HitsViral collects, uses and stores information including your name, Username, Password, email address and Internet Protocol (IP) address when you sign up in order to create an account for you.

We collect the email address associated with any payments made and store the date, time and details of items purchased and payment method used. We do not store any banking or payment details as we use third party processors to process transactions.

"Automatically Collected" Information

HitsViral collects usage habits that include a list of dates and times the site is accessed via login and Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of account logins.

We use cookies and web beacons to provide information on how you use our web services and advertising products. These are collected and used by automated technologies to ensure we provide the best experience to suit your needs.

Integrated / Third Party Services

Other automated technologies that HitsViral uses include the use of third party widgets and plugins such as Facebook Like buttons and pop up ad technologies to ensure you see the advert once per session etc. That information is subject to the privacy policies of those providers.


How We Use the Information We Collect

We use the information that we collect in a variety of ways in providing the Service and operating our business, including the following:

Operations

We use account information (Name, Username, Password & Internet Protocol Address) to enable use to provide a Members Area from where you can manage your own advertising and store the information about what adverts you have purchased and have available including account balances.

Improvements

We use the information regarding transactions (Date, Time, Email Address Used, Purchased Item Information and Payment Method Used) to process your transactions and to keep a log of what you have purchased in the past in case of any discrepancies you may have about what you have purchased. We also use this information to enable us to see what items sell well and improve on our best products and offerings.

Communications

We use your email address to validate and confirm that you are the account holder and so that you can click the opt in verification link to give your approval of us contacting you via email. This helps us keep you informed, send details of purchases for your records and also to verify the account holder for security reasons. We also promote other products and services (both supplied or provided by us or by third parties) to you via email but we do so from emails sent directly from our system only and do not share or distribute your email address with others. (See the "Linking to other websites" section below)

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Automated cookies and web beacons are used for tracking purposes to see from where Members have come and to keep session information to make sure that certain ads are only delivered once per session and not every page load.


To Whom We Disclose Information

We do not share your email address with any third parties and never sell member information. We do allow third parties to advertise using our services and we do promote other services to you via email but all promotions are delivered from our systems and no personal information is shared with them from us. You may share information with them if you join their site or purchase their services.

Service Providers

We may provide information including Name, Email Address and Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses to both payment processors and or law enforcement if requested to do so by law and or the terms of purchasing using their services to help with any investigation or information request they need to conduct lawful business.

We may use your information in our other businesses but all communication will come via the account and system that you signed up for and not our other services unless you register there and give separate permission there.

Any information collected by third party apps or plugins including but not limited to Facebook Like buttons etc is picked up from your actions and not from our system by way you interact with such services and therefore you are using their service and under their privacy policies.

Change of Ownership

Should the website and or business be sold, the information collected will be passed over to the new business or website owner. However, it will remain intact in the confines of the site. The new owner will be as part of any sales agreement, the new owner will be required to comply and follow this Privacy Policy until notifying Users of any changes.

Law Enforcement, Legal Process and Compliance

We may disclose Personal Data or other information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with applicable laws, in response to (on face-value) valid court order, judicial or other government subpoena or warrant, or to otherwise cooperate with law enforcement or other governmental agencies.

We also reserve the right to disclose Personal Data or other information that we believe, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to (i) take precautions against liability, (ii) protect ourselves or others from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful uses or activity, (iii) investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations, (iv) protect the security or integrity of the Service and any facilities or equipment used to make the Service available, or (v) protect our property or other legal rights, enforce our contracts, or protect the rights, property, or safety of others.

You can also delete your account anytime that you wish from the delete account button on the Profile Page inside the Members Area. This removes all information we hold excluding the log of purchases made, which we hold for accounting and tax purposes only.

You may also request to see all the information we hold for you but we will require you to prove your identification before providing that information. This is done for data security and privacy reasons and if we are not sure if you are the person the information requested is for then we reserve the right to withhold that provision until such times as we can be certain by requesting more proof.
