Privacy Policy

Last Revised: September [26], 2018

This policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes the practices of _Able Partners NYC, LLC (“_Able”, “we” or “us”) for collecting, using, maintaining, and disclosing information that we collect from you or that you provide to us when you visit our website (our “Site“) and register with us to access any services, offerings and other interactions made available by us (together with our Site, the “Services”). If you do not agree with the data practices described in this Privacy Policy, you should not use our Services.

We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time, so we encourage you to review it frequently. If we make any material changes to the Privacy Policy, we will post a notice on our website prior to such change taking effect.

Information We Collect and Receive

The information we collect from you falls into two categories: personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) and non-personally identifiable information (i.e., information that cannot be used to identify who you are) (“Non-Personal Information”). Below are the various ways in which we may collect Personal Information and Non-Personal information from you.

Information you give us

Information that you may provide through the Services or otherwise communicate with us includes:

  • Personal and Business Contact information, such as your first name, last name, postal address, email address, telephone number, job title, and employer name.
  • Personal information obtained from online transactions, transmitted as part of a form submission or in connection with other activities or Services made available on the Site.
  • Content you post on our Site (text, images, photographs, messages, comments or any other kind of content that is not your e-mail address).
  • Feedback and correspondence, such as information you provide in your responses to surveys, when you participate in market research activities, report a problem with our Site, receive customer support or otherwise correspond with us.
  • Usage information, such as information about how you use our Site and interact with us.
  • Marketing information, such as your preferences for receiving marketing communications and details about how you engage with them.

Information Collected Through Use of the Services

If you use our Services, we may collect information about how you use and interact with the Services and the data and information that is collected or provided by you through or in connection with your use of the Services.

Information from Social Networking Sites

Our Site includes interfaces that allow you to connect with social networking sites (each a “SNS”). If you connect to a SNS through our Site you authorize us to access, use and store the information that you agreed the SNS could provide to us based on your settings on that SNS. We will access, use and store that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You can revoke our access to the information you provide in this way at any time by amending the appropriate settings from within your account settings on the applicable SNS.

Information we get from others

We do not purchase data about you from other individuals or organizations.

We may combine other publicly available information, such as that provided by business networking sites and databases, information related to the organization for which you work and personal interests and skill sets, with the personal information that you provide to us through our Services.

We also may obtain information from those in the _Able network such as our event organizers, contractors, and local representatives who have agreed to a relationship with us in order to deliver our Services. This may include information about potential interest in our programs, company and individual progress, interest in local events, and attendance at other similar events.

Information automatically collected

We and third-party service providers acting on our behalf, which may include third-party analytics service providers and third-party advertisers, may incorporate technology such as “pixel tags”, “web beacons”, and “cookies” that allow us to track the actions of users of our Services automatically. For example, we may automatically collect information about your location, your internet connection, your browser, when you access the Services, the website address that linked you to our Site, the website that you visit after using our Services, and details of how you used our Services, such as how often you used our Services and which features of the Services you used.

Changes to your personal information

It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please let us know if your Personal Information changes during your relationship with us by emailing us at [info@ablepartners.nyc].

How We Use Your Information

We may also use this information to offer you targeted advertising in order to personalize your experience by showing you advertisements for products and services that are more likely to appeal to you (a practice known as behavioral advertising).

We may from time to time aggregate information in certain data analysis, reports, or other interpretations of trends for both internal and external purposes.

In the event that personal information is compromised as a breach of security, _Able will notify its users in compliance with applicable law.
