EqualApp, LLC (“EqualApp,”  “us” or “we”) d/b/a “AcceptU” created this privacy and security statement (this “Statement”) in order to demonstrate our commitment to the protection of your personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) and your privacy.  Privacy on the AcceptU web site (the “Site”) is of great importance to us.  Since we gather important information from our visitors and customers, we developed this Statement as a means to communicate our information gathering and dissemination practices.  We reserve the right to change this Statement at any time, and will provide notification of such changes via a notice on the Site at least thirty (30) business days’ prior to such changes taking effect.

THE SITE IS INTENDED FOR GENERAL AUDIENCES.  TO USE THE SITE AND THE SERVICES, USERS MUST BE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD, OR MUST BE AT LEAST 13 YEARS OLD AND HAVE THE APPROVAL OF, AND BE DIRECTLY SUPERVISED BY, A PARENT OR GUARDIAN.  ACCEPTU DOES NOT KNOWINGLY COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 13 YEARS OLD.  IF ACCEPTU SUSPECTS THAT A SITE USER IS UNDER THE AGE OF 13, OR IS OTHERWISE USING THE SITE AND SERVICE IN VIOLATION OF ANY TERM OR CONDITION SET FORTH IN ITS TERMS OF USE POSTED AT WWW.ACCEPTU.COM, ACCEPTU WILL TERMINATE SUCH USER’S CUSTOMER ACCOUNT AND DELETE ALL OF SUCH USER’S PERSONAL INFORMATION.

Information Collected From Visitors:
In the event you express an interest in obtaining additional information, or when you register to use the services offered on our Site (collectively, the “Service”), we may collect information from you that will allow us to contact you in the future.  We may ask you for additional Personal Information, such as your name, address and other contact information that may be used to send you additional information, or to complete the Service registration process.

AcceptU may also collect certain additional information from visitors to the Site such as Internet addresses and browser version and type.  This information is logged by us to help us diagnose technical problems, and to administer the Site in order to constantly improve the quality of the Service.  We may also track and analyze non-identifying information and aggregate usage and volume statistical information from our visitors and customers and provide such anonymous statistical information to third parties.

If you become a customer and you elect to use our referral service to inform a friend about our Site, we will ask you for the friend’s email address.  AcceptU will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the Site, but will not store or retain this information.

Cookies:
When you interact with the Site, we strive to make your experience easy and meaningful.  When you come to the Site, our Web server sends a cookie to your computer.  Cookies are files that Web browsers place on a computer’s hard drive to tell site owners whether an individual has visited the website previously.

Standing alone, cookies do not contain Personal Information, and therefore do not identify you personally.  They merely recognize your browser.  Unless you choose to identify yourself to AcceptU, either by responding to a promotional offer, opening an account, or registering for a free trial, you remain anonymous to AcceptU.

There are two types of cookies: session-based and persistent-based.  Session cookies exist only during an online session.  They disappear from your computer when you close your browser software or turn off your computer.  Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you have closed your browser or turned off your computer.  They include such information as a unique identifier for your browser.

AcceptU uses session cookies containing encrypted information to allow the system to uniquely identify you while you are logged onto the Site.  This information allows AcceptU to process your online transactions and requests. Session cookies help us make sure you are who you say you are after you have logged in to the Service.  You will not be able to use the Service unless you enable your browser to accept cookies from the Site.  AcceptU uses persistent cookies that only AcceptU can read and use, to identify the fact that you are an AcceptU customer or prior AcceptU Site visitor (whatever the case may be).  We are especially careful about the security and confidentiality of the information stored in persistent cookies.  For example, we do not store account numbers or passwords in persistent cookies.

Users who disable their Web browsers’ ability to accept cookies will be able to browse the Site; however, you must enable cookies in order to use our Service.

We may from time to time engage third parties to track and analyze non-personally identifiable usage and volume statistical information from visitors to the Site to help us administer the Site and improve its quality.  Such third parties may use cookies to help track visitor behavior.  Such cookies will not be used to associate individual Site visitors with any Personal Information.  All data collected by such third parties on behalf of AcceptU is used only to provide us with information on Site usage and will not be shared with any other third parties.

Information Collected From Customers:
We require customers who register to use the Service to provide us with additional information (“Customer Information”).  Customer Information includes, but is not limited to, financial qualification information such as billing name, billing address, and credit card number.

Customers can opt out of providing us with this additional information by not entering it when prompted to do so during the registration process.  Customers can update or remove their Customer Information at any time by logging onto the Site and editing their Customer Information within their respective account.

AcceptU uses the collected Customer Information to set up the Service for customers, which set up includes providing customers with usernames and passwords.  We may also use the Customer Information to contact customers to further discuss customer interest in AcceptU or the Service that we provide, to send information regarding AcceptU and its partners, to notify you about updates to the Service, or to deliver our e- newsletter.  Customer email addresses and any Personal Information and/or Customer Information will not be distributed to or shared with any third parties.  Customers can opt out of being contacted by us, or from receiving such information from us, at any time by sending an email to info@AcceptU.com with the words “opt out” written in the subject line.
