This Privacy Policy applies to https://consumers-connect.net/ (the “Site”) and outlines our treatment of personally identifiable information we collect on behalf of our sponsors and for our own use. There are two categories of data processing in which Webite Pte Ltd (“WEBITE”) is involved and collects such information to identify you as a participant and/or respondent to the https://consumers-connect.net/ “opt-in” promotions.
Agreement to this Policy: By using this Site you consent to this Privacy Policy, including your consent to our use and disclosure of information about you in the manner described herein.
This Privacy Policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ (PII) is being used online. PII, as used in US privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website.
Consumers-connect.net ‘opt-in’ and ‘opt-out’ data processing
Most of the times, WEBITE offers the opportunity to ‘opt-in’ to receiving marketing information from WEBITE and its partners/sponsors. In such events, an “opt-in” question will appear on the registration entry page clearly explaining to potential entrants that by checking the box the entrant will be agreeing to share their personally identifiable information with WEBITE and WEBITE’s named partners.
Such information may come from WEBITE itself, companies with whom WEBITE has a business relationship and/or WEBITE’s named sponsors/partners. If you want to ‘opt-out’ of receiving such notices from WEBITE after you have ‘opted-in’, or you wish to correct the information you have provided to WEBITE, you are invited to do this via e-mail to [email protected].
Channel management
When you ‘opt-in’ to receive information from WEBITE, you are agreeing to receive email and information via other channels from WEBITE, including marketing, surveys, special offers and notices about other promotions.
