Opt-out of targeted advertising. If you prefer to not receive targeted advertising, you can opt-out of some network advertising programs that use your information. Below are the steps you can take to opt-out of targeted advertising:

  • Visit the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) Opt-Out Page (http://www.aboutads.info/choices). The DAA Opt-Out Page provides a tool that identifies its member companies that have Cookies on your browser and provides links to those companies.
  • If you wish to opt out of our Google AdWords remarketing, you can do so by visiting the Google Ad Preferences Manager.
  • If you are using one of our mobile applications, you can download App Choices (http://youradchoices.com/appchoices), which will allow you to opt-out of in-app tracking. You can also adjust the privacy settings on your mobile device by visiting the settings tab. If you wish to opt-out of cross-device tracking, you will need to opt-out of in app tracking on all of your devices.
  • Update the privacy settings in the help section of your browser, or in the settings tab on your mobile device.
  • You may also click on the ad choices icon in the relevant advertisement.
  • You may opt out of additional third-party advertising networks by going to the Network Advertising Initiative’s web site (http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp) and following the directions provided.

Additionally, many network advertising programs allow you to view and manage the interest categories they have compiled from your online browsing activities. These interest categories help determine the types of targeted advertisements you may receive.

Please note that even if you choose to remove your information or “opt-out,” you will still see advertisements while you are browsing online; however, those advertisements will no longer be tailored to your interests. Additionally, information regarding your usage of the online services may still be collected for research, analytics or internal operations purposes. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of any such opt-out options.

Cookies. The “Help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, and how to disable existing cookies. For more information about HTTP cookies and how to disable them, or to restrict the categories of cookies you wish to accept, you can consult the information at www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/. Rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit the Site. Please note that without cookies, you may not be able to take full advantage of the entire Site and some parts of our services may not function properly.

California Residents – Privacy Rights.

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as S.B. 27, provides certain rights to California residents.

California residents who have provided their Personal Information to the Company have the right to request disclosure of the types of Personal Information collected about them by the Company and whether/how the Company is selling such Personal Information (and to whom). The Company does not sell Personal Information. California residents who have provided their Personal Information to the Company also have the right to request that the Company delete their Personal Information in certain circumstances. If you make a request for Aspire not to share or sell your Personal Information, Aspire will not charge you more for the services we provide, deny you access to the services we provide, or change the quality of the services you receive.

This request may be made no more than twice per calendar year. We reserve our right not to respond to requests submitted to locations other than those specified above.

We may reject requests that are unreasonable or not required by law, including those that would be extremely impractical, could require disproportionate technical effort, or could expose us to operational risks such as free trial fraud. We may retain information as required or permitted by applicable laws and regulations, including to honor your choices, for our billing or records purposes and to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy statement. We take reasonable measures to destroy or de-identify Personal Information in a secure manner when it is no longer required.

  1. Consent to Processing and Transfer of Information.

Aspire is a United States company and the Site is provided from the United States. If you are a user who resides outside the United States, please be aware that information we collect will be transferred to and processed in the United States. By using the Site, or providing us with any information, you consent to the collection, processing, maintenance and transfer of such information in and to the United States and other applicable countries in which the privacy laws may not be as comprehensive as or equivalent to, those in the country where you reside and/or are a citizen.

  1. What Else Should I Know About My Privacy?

Third-party web sites and services accessible through this Site have separate privacy and data collection practices, independent of us. We have no responsibility or liability for these independent policies or actions. Please be careful and responsible online. If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information through the transmission process, and any transmission by you of information is done at your own risk.

  1. Children.

Children under the age of 13 years may not provide any Personal Information, including name, physical and e-mail address, telephone number, or any other information that allows others to contact them physically or electronically, to us via any of our services without verifiable parental consent.  We do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to register for use of any of our services. In the event we learn that we have collected Personal Information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete such information as quickly as possible.

  1. Security.

We use our best efforts to protect your Personal Information and, to that end, use tools such as encryption, passwords, and physical security to protect your Personal Information against unauthorized access and disclosure. However, no website can be absolutely secure. Third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications and other users may abuse or misuse your Personal Information that they collect from this Site. Therefore, although we work very hard to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your Personal Information or private communications will always remain absolutely private.
