If, after reviewing the Privacy Policy, you have questions about the types of information we collect, how we use it, or similar issues, please contact us at www.shieldbanking.com.

​

This Privacy Policy applies to the services (“the Services”) provided through the Company website located at www.shieldbanking.com (the “Website”) . It does not apply to the practices of other companies that Company does not own or control nor does it apply to information of any kind provided to the Company by advertisers or other business partners. Links to other websites are governed by their own policies.

If this Privacy Policy is not acceptable to you, you should discontinue using the Services.

​

The Privacy Policy will let you know:

• What information we collect from or about you

• What we use your information for

• In what ways we may disclose your information to other parties

• The kinds of security measures in place to protect against loss or misuse of your personal information

• What cookies are, and other forms of tracking that may be in use on the Website

​

1. What information do we collect from or about you?

​

In this Policy, we refer to two types of user information: Personally Identifiable Information (sometimes referred to as “PII”) and non-Personally Identifiable Information.

​

Personally Identifiable Information refers to any information that can be used to uniquely identify, contact, or locate you. Examples of Personally Identifiable Information include a name, physical address, e-mail address, and telephone number.

​

The Company collects only the PII that you voluntarily provide to us. If you purchase the Services, you will be asked to provide your credit card and related information for billing purposes.

​

You might also be asked for, or choose to provide, additional information about yourself that does not, itself, specifically identify you. This is non-Personally Identifiable Information. Some non-Personally Identifiable Information, such as your age and gender, may be required (or merely requested) when you purchase the Services, and may be associated with your PII.

​

Company may also automatically collect other types of non-Personally Identifiable Information as you use the Services, including technical information (such as your internet protocol (“IP”) address, mobile device ID, or browser type) and usage information (such as location data, preferred language, the parts of the Website you have visited, which links you have clicked and other information about how you interact with the Services). This information is anonymous, and is not associated with your PII, although it may be associated with other pieces of anonymous information about you.

​

2. What do we use your information for?

​

Your Personally Identifiable Information may be used in the following ways:

• To e-mail you newsletters or tips about how to use the Services, inform you of product updates, or notify you about our own special offers or those of our third-party partners; and

• Non-Personally Identifiable Information may be used in the following ways:

• To enable us to generate aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction;

• To customize your experience (your information helps us to better respond to your individual needs);

• To show you advertisements most relevant to your demographic characteristics;

• To make improvements to the Website and Services; and

• To inform potential partners and advertisers about the size and characteristics of our audience.

​​

3. Do we disclose any information to other parties?

​

The Company does not sell or trade your Personally Identifiable Information to outside parties. We may disclose your Personally Identifiable Information to vendors who help us operate the Website, conduct our business or provide the Services to you, such as credit card processors, customer service centers, or e-mail marketing providers. All such partners are bound to keep your information confidential.

​

We may disclose Personally Identifiable Information, including to local, state, or federal law enforcement officials, when we believe in good faith that the law requires such action, or when required to do so by order of a court or other compulsory legal process. We may also share Personally Identifiable Information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or to prevent harm to the Website.

​

We may transfer your Personally Identifiable Information if we are acquired by or merge with another company. We will notify you in accordance with the procedures contained in this Privacy Policy if your information will become subject to a different privacy policy.

​

We may use or distribute information about you and your use of the Services in ways that do not reveal Personally Identifiable Information. For example, we share anonymous user information with advertisers and advertising networks to enable the display of targeted, relevant advertisements. We may also provide anonymous usage data or summary characteristics of our audience to potential partners and advertisers or post such information on publicly accessible areas of the Website.

​

4. How secure is your personal information?

​

The security of our user data is very important to us. We store your information securely, using industry-compliant encryption technology. When you enter Personally Identifiable Information our Website, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).

​

5. Do we use cookies or other forms of tracking?

​

We use “cookies” to collect information and improve our Services. We may use “persistent cookies” to save your user ID and password for future logins to the Service. We may use “session ID cookies” to enable certain features of the Service, to better understand how you interact with the Service and to monitor aggregate usage and web traffic routing on the Service.

​

​

Company uses logs mainly for internal systems administration and diagnostic purposes, and to detect improper use of the site. Logs may also be used to generate aggregate, non-Personally Identifiable Information for advertisers or other third parties.
