Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 12, 2021

Protecting your private information is our priority. This Privacy Policy applies to stuzo.com and governs the data collection, usage, and disclosure practices of Stuzo.com, and any products or services provided by Stuzo that link to or reference this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Site”). Stuzo.com is owned and operated by Stuzo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Stuzo”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). The Site is Stuzo’s corporate information website.  This Privacy Policy applies to information Stuzo collects through the Site; however, it does not apply to information collected from our employees, contractors, or vendors.  It also does not apply to information that you ask us to share with third parties or that is collected by Online Tool Providers (as further described below).  You acknowledge and agree that the use of your information by third parties utilized in providing the Site may be governed by such third parties’ own privacy policies.

Finally, if the operator of a Stuzo-hosted website or application has an agreement with Stuzo (a “Stuzo Contract”) that contains privacy or confidentiality terms that are more stringent than those in this privacy statement, then the applicable terms of the Stuzo Contract will control over this Privacy Policy with respect to the information that Stuzo receives under the Stuzo Contract.

This Privacy Policy describes, among other things:  

Consent

By accessing or using the Site, you consent to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use the Site.  Information gathered through the Site may be transferred, used, and stored in the United States or in other countries where our service providers or we are located.  If you use the Site, you agree to the transfer, use, and storage of your Personal Information (as defined below) in those countries. The data protection and other laws of the United States and other countries might not be as comprehensive as those in your country.  You agree that all transactions relating to the Site are deemed to occur in the United States, where our servers are located.  Other than as described in this Privacy Policy, we will not give any information about you to others without your express permission. 

Collection of your Personal and Other Information
When you use the Site, Stuzo may collect Personal Information. By “Personal Information” we mean information that can identify or reasonably be linked to an individual, such as your name, the name of the company you work for, your business email address, the city and state in which you are located (but not your precise geographic location), and any other Personal Information that you voluntarily send to us through the Site. Personal Information also includes IP address and browser type and version, to the extent that any such information can identify or reasonably be linked to you.  You may choose not to provide Personal Information, but this may prevent you from utilizing certain features of the Site.  

Stuzo may also collect non-Personal Information relating to the Site; that is, information that does not personally identify an individual.  The non-Personal Information we collect includes how you interact with the Site, information generally collected or “logged” by Internet websites or services when accessed or used by users, and information about your web browser or computer hardware or software accessing or using the Site. This information may include: access dates/times or referring website addresses. This information is used for the operation of the Site, to maintain quality of the Site, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Site.  We will not use non-Personal Information to try to identify you, and if we associate any non-Personal Information with information that personally identifies you, then we will treat it as Personal Information.  As discussed in more detail below, we sometimes use cookies and other automatic information gathering technologies to gather non-Personal Information.

Use of your Information
Stuzo uses the information it collects to operate the Site and deliver the services you have requested.

Stuzo may also use your Personal Information to communicate with you, including to inform you of products or services available from Stuzo and its affiliates. Stuzo may also use your Personal Information to contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.


Disclosure of your Information

Stuzo does not sell, rent or lease Personal Information to third parties.

Stuzo may share Personal Information and non-Personal Information with Service Providers.  By “Service Providers”, we mean companies, agents, contractors, service providers, or others engaged to perform functions on our behalf, such as to help perform statistical analysis, sending you email or postal mail, providing customer support, or arranging for deliveries.
All such Service Providers are prohibited from using or disclosing the Personal Information and non-Personal Information received from us except to provide these services to Stuzo, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

Stuzo may keep track of the websites and pages our users visit within Stuzo, in order to determine what Stuzo services are the most popular. To do this, we may disclose Personal Information and non-Personal Information to Online Tool Providers.  By “Online Tool Provider”, we mean a licensor of software that we include in, or use with, the Site, including an API or SDK, that provides a specialized function or service to us and that requires the transmission of Personal Information and/or non-Personal Information to the Online Tool Provider.  Online Tool Providers may have the right to use Personal Information and non-Personal Information about you for their own business purposes.  Use and disclosure of Personal Information and non-Personal Information by an Online Tool Provider is described in its privacy policy.  See the Use of Cookies and Automatic Information Gathering Technologies section below for some of the key Online Tool Providers we use.  Stuzo uses the information gathered by Online Tool Providers to deliver customized content to you, and make optimization decisions about the Site.

Stuzo may disclose your Personal Information, without notice, if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to: (a) comply with legal or regulatory requirements or governmental process served on Stuzo; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Stuzo, including to enforce or apply the terms and conditions of the Site;, (c)  protect the personal safety, property, or rights of Stuzo, users of the Site, third parties, or the public; or (d) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues.

Finally, we reserve the right to transfer information (including your Personal Information) to a third party in the event of a sale, merger, or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of our company relating to the Site, or in the unlikely event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, or receivership of our business. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of such transfer, for example via email or by posting notice on our Site.

Use of Cookies and Automatic Information Gathering Technologies
Every time you use the Site (e.g., navigate to a specific location on the Site), we collect Personal Information and non-Personal Information regarding that use.  For example, to improve our Site, we collect how, when, and which parts of the Site or its features you use.  The Site uses “cookies” to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a small amount of data that is placed on your  web browser by a web page operator, or a third party whose content is embedded in that website, that can be accessed each time you visit the website. A web beacon, pixel or tag is a small, usually-transparent image placed on a web page that allows the operator of that image, which may be the operator of the website you visit or a third party, to read or write a cookie.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time by telling the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you register with the Site, a cookie helps Stuzo to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your Personal Information. When you return to the Site, the Personal Information you previously provided can be retrieved.

Your operating system or web browser may give you the ability to accept or decline cookies and local browser storage. Most web browsers automatically accept website storage, but you may have the ability to modify your browser setting to decline website storage if you prefer. If you choose to decline website storage, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Site.

More information about managing cookies is available here. To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for your local browser storage, please refer to the end user documentation for your browser.

An Online Tool Provider may collect information automatically, in which case Personal Information and non-Personal Information it receives are subject to the Online Tool Provider’s privacy policy.  Some Online Tool Providers may allow you to opt out of certain collection and/or uses of your information.  You can read more here:

 

Security of your Personal Information

To secure your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure, Stuzo uses the following:

When Personal Information is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.  However, no data transmission over the Internet, and no method of data storage, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its security.

We restrict access to Personal Information in our possession to our employees, Service Providers, and Online Tool Providers who need to know that information in order to operate, develop, improve or support our Site. If we share Personal Information with Service Providers or Online Tool Providers, we require that they also use reasonable information security measures to safeguard your Personal Information.

Customer Applications and Third Party Websites 

Stuzo is in the business of custom website and application development for its third-party customers (collectively, “Customer Applications”). This Privacy Policy does not s apply to any Customers Applications. 

The Site may link to or integrate with third-party sites, services, or apps.  Stuzo is not responsible for the privacy or security policies or practices or the content of such third parties.  

Stuzo encourages you to review the privacy statements and terms of service of websites and applications, including Customer Applications, you visit so that you understand how those websites and applications collect, use, share, and protect your information.

Children Under Thirteen
The Site is not intended for users under the age of thirteen, and we do not authorize users under the age of thirteen to use the Site. Stuzo does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen.

Transparency and Choice; Do Not Track Signals

You may request access to your Personal Information by sending an email to privacy@stuzo.com. We will try to locate and provide you with your Personal Information and give you the opportunity to correct this data, if it is inaccurate, or to delete it, at your request.   But, in either case, we may need to retain it for legal reasons or for legitimate business purposes.   

We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected, or removed before processing such requests, and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backups), or relate to information that is not associated with your Personal Information.  In any case, where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort. 

Please be aware that if you request us to delete your Personal Information, you may not be able to continue to use certain features of the Site.  Also, even if you request that we delete your Personal Information, we may need to retain certain information for a limited period of time to satisfy our legal, audit and/or dispute resolution requirements.

We support the development and implementation of a standard “do not track” browser feature that provides customers with control over the collection and use of information about their web-browsing activities. Once a standardized “do not track” feature is released, we intend to adhere to the browser settings accordingly.

Opt-Out & Unsubscribe
We respect your privacy and give you an opportunity to opt-out of receiving marketing emails. You may opt-out of receiving marketing emails by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in the emails.  Please note that it may take up to ten (10) business days for you opt-out request to be processed.   However, even if you opt out of marketing emails, you may continue to receive account-related communications from Stuzo, such as notices about your account and confirmations of transactions that you have requested.   

California Residents

You may have heard of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which provides certain rights to California residents in connection with their Personal Information.  Our Site is not currently subject to the CCPA.  However, we do provide notice and transparency about our collection and use of Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy.  In addition, Stuzo does not disclose Personal Information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may modify or update this Privacy Policy periodically with or without prior notice by posting the updated policy on this page. You can always check the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document to see when the Privacy Policy was last changed.  If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by reasonable means, which may be by e-mail or posting a notice of the changes on our Site prior to the changes becoming effective.  We encourage you to check this Privacy Policy from time to time.  IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, YOU MUST STOP USING THE SITE AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF SUCH CHANGES (WHICH IS THE “LAST UPDATED” DATE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY).
