Privacy Policy

Access and Consent

This Privacy Policy discloses our privacy practices and the possible uses of the information that Hour League, LLC (“Hour League”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) gathers via https://www.hourleague.com (the “Site”), our mobile application(s)      [1], and via other submissions made by you to Hour League (together, the "Site and Services"). By using the Site and Services you consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy, including having your Personal Information (as defined below) used in any of the ways described in this Privacy Policy, you may not be able to use certain parts or features of our Site and Services and we may, at our sole discretion, revoke your membership. Your consent to this Privacy Policy is also required in order for you to create any form of account on the Site and Services. Hour League may update this Privacy Policy from time-to-time at its sole discretion. It is your responsibility to review the Privacy Policy for any changes each time that you use the Site and Services, and you are bound by such changes. Hour League will notify any account holders, service providers, clients, attorneys, possessing an account with Hour League (each a “Registered User” and collectively the “Registered Users”) when changes are made to this Privacy Policy through notifications sent directly to a Registered User’s account. You will be required to agree, accept, and consent to any new or updated Privacy Policy in order to maintain your status as a Registered User with Hour League. Your use of the Site and Services following us notifying you of a new or updated Privacy Policy on our Site shall operate as consent and signify that you agree to and accept the Privacy Policy as modified, changed, updated, or re-issued.

This Privacy Policy applies to the entire Hour League family of products and services, including but not limited to, our Site and Services, online services, our print publications, our call center services, and other Hour League products or services. This Privacy Policy is part of our Hour League Membership Agreement, Terms of Use, and all other terms of using our Site and Services.

Information Collected

Hour League collects information on our users in various ways, including but not limited to, by your voluntary submissions, participation in services provided via the Site and Services, from third parties with your consent (as granted in this Privacy Policy), and through cookie and other tracking technology. Hour League collects the following information: information that tells us specifically who you are, such as your name, phone number, email, postal address, and possibly information relating to certain support or customer service issues ("Personal Information")      [2]. In many cases, we need this information to provide to you many of the services that you may have requested.

Cellular Phone Numbers

By providing a cellular telephone number to us, you expressly consent to, and authorize us, or a third party on our behalf, to deliver autodialed or prerecorded telemarketing calls and/or text messages to the number you provide. You are not required to consent to these calls as a condition to purchasing any goods or services from Hour League, but withholding your consent may prevent us from providing certain services to you. This consent encompasses all future autodialed or prerecorded telemarketing calls and text messages from us or a third party placing these calls on our behalf. You may revoke consent to receive text messages at any time by contacting Hour League, including by responding STOP to the number sending text messages from Hour League.

Submission of Reviews, Ratings, and Comments

We collect and retain information which you voluntarily provide as part of your use of our Site and Services, including messages, posts, comments, responses, reviews, and ratings you submit through the Site and Services ("User Generated Content"). Hour League may in our sole discretion share your User Generated Content with others without notifying you. If you do not want certain information shared with others, you should not submit User Generated Content, or should not submit User Generated Content which contains information or Personal Information you do not want shared in this manner. Once you have submitted User Generated Content, we reserve the right to publish it in any medium to others.

Aggregate Information

We may generate or collect general, non-personal, statistical information about the use of the Site and Services, such as how many visitors visit a specific page on the Site, how long they stay on that page, and which hyperlinks, if any, they click on. This information represents a generic overview of our users, including their collective viewing habits, and allows us and other third parties to modify information, promotions, offers and/or discounts on products and services based on user traffic and behavior. We collect this information through the use of technologies such as 'cookies' and web beacons, which are discussed in greater detail below. We collect this information in order to help enhance the Site and Services to make for a better visitor experience. By using our Site and Services, you expressly consent and agree to our generation, collection, and use of this information.

Third-Party Information

We may supplement information you provide to us with information from other sources, including but not limited to, information to validate or update your address, payment card or other demographic and lifestyle information. We use this information to help us maintain the accuracy of the information we collect, to enable us to fulfill our products and services, to target our communications so that we can inform you of products, services and offers that may be of interest, and for internal business analysis or other business purposes consistent with our mission.

Cookies

Hour League may automatically collect non-personally identifiable information and data through the use of cookies. Cookies are small text files a website uses to recognize repeat users, facilitate the user's ongoing access to the website, and facilitate the use of the website. Cookies also allow a website to track usage behavior and compile site usage information that will allow for the improvement of content and target advertising. Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether to accept them and how to remove them. You may set your browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser. However, please be aware that some features of our Site and Services may not function or may be slower if you refuse cookies. You may also get cookies from our advertisers or other third parties with links on the Site as described below. We do not directly control these cookies. The use of advertising cookies sent by third party ad servers is standard in the Internet industry.

We may use the services of third parties to collect and use anonymous information about your visits to and interactions with our website through the use of technologies such as cookies to personalize advertisements for goods and services.

To learn more, or to opt-out of receiving online display advertisements tailored to your interests by our third-party partners, visit the Digital Advertising Alliance Consumer Choice Page at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/.

Ad Choices

You may choose whether to receive some Interest-based advertising by submitting opt-outs. Some of the advertisers and Service Providers that perform advertising-related services for us and other third parties may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. To learn more about how you can exercise certain choices regarding Interest-based Advertising, including use of Cross-device Data for serving ads, visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/, and http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices for information on the DAA’s opt-out program specifically for mobile apps (including use of precise location for third party ads). Some of these companies may also be members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To learn more about the NAI and your opt-out options for their members, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Please be aware that, even if you are able to opt out of certain kinds of Interest-based Advertising, you may continue to receive other types of ads. Opting out only means that those selected members should no longer deliver certain Interest-based Advertising to you but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads (e.g., from other ad networks). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit these opt-out webpages, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different device or web browser, or use a non-browser-based method of access (e.g., mobile app), your NAI / DAA browser-based opt-out may not, or may no longer, be effective.

Other Tracking Technologies

Tracking technologies may record information such as Internet domain and host names, protocol (IP) addresses, browser software and operating system types, clickstream patterns, the MAC address or other technical information from your mobile device, location information through GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, or similar technologies, and dates and times that our Site and Services are accessed. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web. Web servers, the computers that 'serve up' webpages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address. The Site and Services may also use technology called "tracer tags", which may also be referred to as "Pixels", "Clear GIFs" or "Web Beacons". This technology allows us to understand which pages you visit on our Site and other ways you interact with our Site and Services, such as purchases made through the Site and Services. These tracer tags are used to help us to optimize and tailor our Site and Services for you and other users of our Site and Services. We may link the information we record using tracking technologies to Personal Information we collect.

Do Not Track (DNT)

DNT is a privacy preference that users can set in some web browsers, allowing users to opt out of tracking by websites and online services. At the present time, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has not yet established universal standards for recognizable DNT signals and therefore, Hour League and the Site do not recognize DNT.

USE OF INFORMATION

The information Hour League collects is used in a variety of ways, including but not limited to:

  • for internal review;
  • to improve the Site and Services;
  • to optimize third-party offers of products and/or services;

Prior to sharing of your Personal Information with others, agreements are made between Hour League and such outside parties to whom we are transferring data to provide for the allowable use and security of the transferred information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law. If Hour League becomes aware that any such outside party is improperly using or disclosing Personal Information, it will notify that outside party and request that it take reasonable steps to cease such use or disclosure. We may provide certain Personal Information as a service to others for their marketing purposes. We may also disclose your name and address to Service Providers when you submit User Generated Content relating to those Service Providers. If you properly notify us, via email at [[email protected]] that you no longer want us to share your Personal Information, we will cease sharing your Personal Information. However, except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not directly control the third parties to which we share such Personal Information, and you will need to further notify such third parties directly if you would like them to cease use of your Personal Information. We will use reasonable efforts to assist you in obtaining the contact information of any such third parties for the purpose of notifying them to cease use of your personal information.

We may also disclose aggregate visitor data in order to describe the use of the Site and Services to our existing or potential business partners or other third parties, or in response to a government request. We may also share aggregated demographic and preference data with third parties to enable the provision of targeted information, promotions, offers and/or discounts on products and services.

Data Security, Integrity, and Access

The Personal Information you provide, and we collect, is stored within databases that we control directly or through our Administrative Service Providers. As we deem appropriate and as required by the applicable law, we use security measures appropriate for the sensitivity of the Personal Information and consistent with industry standards, including physical, organizational, and technological protections, such as firewalls, to protect your Personal Information. We also use industry standard encryption technology to protect credit card and password information. However, since no security system is impenetrable, we cannot guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet. Personal Information may only be accessed by persons within our organization, our third party service providers who require such access to provide you with the services indicated above, or any other party that you have provided us with authorization to share such information with. We retain Personal Information that we collect only as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or to otherwise meet any legal requirements. Your information may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of your state, province/territory, or country where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those where you live. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please be aware that we transfer Personal Information to the United States and process and store it there. As a result, this information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, law enforcement officials and national security authorities in the United States according to its laws.

Subject to the applicable laws, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure that appropriate protections are in place to maintain protections on the Personal Information. By submitting your Personal Information, you consent to having your personal data transferred to, processed, and stored in the United States. Hour League may assign you a user ID and a password when you sign up as part of your participation and access to the Site and Services. Your user ID and password may only be used by you. You may not share your user ID and password with anyone else, and you are solely responsible for maintaining and protecting the confidentiality of your user ID and password. You are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your user ID and password. You can access and update your login information on your "Manage My Accounts" webpage.       [4]

Credit Card Information

We may share credit card information with trusted third parties in order to bill you for our service. We use third parties for secure credit card transaction processing, and we send billing information to those third parties to process your orders and payments or to validate your credit card information on file. Credit card information is encrypted during transmission and whenever stored within our systems or with our vendors. In addition to utilizing encryption that meets the US Government’s FIPS 140-2 Certification, we take care to store only the amount of information required to bill you for services. Our credit card processing vendors use security measures to protect your information both during the transaction and after it is complete. Credit card processing vendors are certified as compliant with multiple industry-standard compliance frameworks including the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Service Provider Level 1, the SSAE-16 audit standard.

Third Party Websites and Links

Please note that you may have cookies placed on your computer by third party websites that refer you to the Site. Although we do not share your Personal Information with these third party websites unless you have authorized us to do so, they may be able to link certain non-personally identifiable information we transfer to them with Personal Information they previously collected from you. Please review the privacy policies of each website you visit to better understand their privacy practices. In addition, Hour League would like to inform you that anytime you click on links (including advertising banners), which take you to third party websites, you will be subject to the third parties' privacy policies. While we support the protection of our customer's privacy on the Internet, Hour League expressly disclaims any and all liability for the actions of third parties, including but without limitation, actions relating to the use and/or disclosure of Personal Information by third parties. Our Site and Services may contain links to other sites operated by third parties. Hour League does not control such other sites and is not responsible for their content, their privacy policies, or their use of Personal Information. Hour League's inclusion of such links does not, by itself, imply any endorsement of the content on such sites or of their owners or operators except as disclosed on the Site and Services. Any information submitted by you directly to these third parties is subject to that third party's privacy policy.

Children's Privacy

Hour League does not intend the Site and Services to be used by individuals under the age of majority within the jurisdiction within which they reside without the supervision of a parent or guardian of majority age. Hour League relies upon such parents or guardians to determine if the Site and Services is appropriate for the viewing, access, or participation by such individuals under the age of majority. If an individual under the age of majority uses the Site and Services, such individual may only use the Site and Services under the supervision of a parent or guardian of majority age. Hour League does not knowingly collect personally identifying information under the age of majority unless we have first obtained permissions from that individual’s parent or guardian of majority age.
