3. We receive some of it through third parties. For example, when you make a payment, we receive payment information from our payment processor. These practices, and the reasons for them, are described in greater detail below.

Depending on the requirements of applicable law, and subject to any applicable exceptions, you may have a right to access, update, delete or change personal information. You can request access to, change, delete or update personal information, or the personal information of your End Users by contacting us at [email protected] can also elect to not receive marketing emails from us by unsubscribing, or by changing your preferences in the link provided at the bottom of marketing emails. Because of the technical requirements for deleting personal information from our systems, there is likely to be a delay between the time when you ask us to delete it, and when the personal information is deleted. We reserve the right to retain personal information in order to comply with the law, to protect our rights and the rights of third parties, to enforce our terms of service or other policies and to resolve disputes to the extend allowed under applicable law. You may have the right to object to, or restrict, the processing of your personal information, or to exercise a right of data portability under applicable law. Additionally, if we rely on your consent to process information, you may withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal information at any time, free of charge. This will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before your consent is withdrawn. If you are an End User of one of our User’s sites, you should contact the site owner directly to exercise your rights with respect to any information that they hold about you. Our cookie policy below explains how you can manage cookies and related technologies, and the section on Google Analytics explains how to manage integration with Google Analystics.

How we protect your information
Although no online service is ever completely secure, we take security very seriously and are dedicated to keeping personal information secure and safe. We use infrastructure providers that provide industry standard physical, technical and administrative protocols and safeguards to protect against accidental and unlawful loss, destruction, modification, disclosure, misuse, misappropriation and all other forms of unlawful possession, processing or use of personal information. We conduct regular security audits, and have built-in redundancies in our network for testing of vulnerability and recovery from attack, accident or any other type of loss.

How we retain your information
We retain personal information regarding you, your account and your use of our Services for the duration of your account, or for as long as is necessary to provide you and your End Users with our Services. We also retain your personal and account information for as long as is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, and to protect us in the event of a dispute or the need to enforce our agreements and to protect our interests and the interests of third-parties. The exact amount of time that we keep personal information depends on what the information is and why we need it. We consider factors such as the minimum required retention periods dictated by law or that are recommended as best practices, the period of time during which a claim or dispute can be initiated with respect to an agreement, whether the personal information has been aggregated or pseudonymized, and other criteria that may be relevant. Because Members who cancel their accounts frequently come back to us and want to reactivate their account, we don’t immediately delete your account and personal information upon cancellation of your Membership. The information will, therefore, be there for you for at least two years should you decide to resume your Membership. However, because our Add-on Listings and Reviews services utilize third-party software, all account data is immediately deleted upon cancellation of the individual Add-on Unit, or of Rooficial Membership. If you want to delete all of the information from your Account immediately following, or any time after cancellation of your Rooficial Membership, email us at [email protected] and we will delete the personal information we hold about you unless we need to retain it for purposes enumerated in this Privacy Policy. Notwithstanding the above, we do collect and maintain aggregated, anonymized data about that we may retain indefinitely.

End Users’ information
Our Members who have sites powered by Rooficial are responsible for what they do with the personal information they collect through Rooficial about their End Users. If you are a Rooficial Member, you may collect personal information about your End Users. For example, if you have a contact or client intake form on your website, you may ask your End Users to provide their names, phone numbers, email addresses and whatever other personal information you ask for in your forms. Your End Users may submit more information, or different information, from the information you ask for in your forms, especially in text areas. It is up to you to determine what information to collect, and how to use it.

You may also use third-party scripts such as newsletter subscription forms from companies like MailChimp or Constant Contact that collect information voluntarily given by your End Users, or scripts like Google Analytics that track and analyze your End Users’ use of your site(s). Any third-party script that you add to your website, or request that we add to your site, may collect information. You are solely responsible for complying with any laws and regulations that apply to your collection and use of your End Users’ information.

You must publish your own privacy and cookie policy, or, if you use the stock started policies provided by the Rooficial system, read them, understand them, and adopt them as your own without relying on their adequacy or legal sufficiency.

We are not liable for your relationship with your End Users, or for how you collect and use personal information about them, even if you collect that information using Rooficial functionality, and we will not provide you with legal advice regarding your privacy policies, personal information collection, use or retention.

Cookie policy
We use cookies and similar technologies to provide, customize, study, promote, improve and protect our Services, and to enhance the experience of our Users. Cookies are small snippets of text that are sent to your web browser when you visit a website. Cookies serve many functions, including letting us remember certain information you provide to us as you navigate between pages of our websites and within the Rooficial Control Panel. We use cookies on Rooficial.com, including all subdomains. Cookies are used for the following purposes:

●Authentication, Customization, Security and other Functional Cookies. When Members log into the Rooficial service, cookies help us verify your account and determine when you’re logged in, so we can make it easier for you to access features and stay logged in.

●Analytics and Performance. We use cookies to analyze how our Services are being accessed, how they are used, and how they are performing.

●Marketing. We use cookies to target advertising, including remarketing or retargeting ads. These are the ads that you see after visiting a website.

To opt out of cookies, you may set your browser to not accept cookies, but this may limit the functionality of some of our services, and/or make you have to re-enter data repeatedly. For example, we use cookies to remember who you are so you don’t have to enter your contact information each time you want to watch a webinar or download an ebook. Opting out of cookies at the browser level may mean that you have to do extra work to access the materials you prefer. You can also opt out of receiving web-based ads from certain ad networks by visiting the NAI Consumer Opt Out at http://optout.networkadvertising.org

We use device identifiers on the Rooficial website, and on our Members’ websites to track, analyze and optimize the performance of our services and to provide our Members with marketing performance intelligence about their websites.

We also use third-party scripts on the website Rooficial.com and associated subdomains, and in the Rooficial Control Panel. These scripts may take the form of tracking codes, snippets and/or pixels. We use pixels to learn how you interact with our website pages and emails. This information enables us to provide you with a more personalized and better experience. We use tracking snippets such as Google Analytics and AdRoll to capture data from your browser, make requests and set cookies on your devices. As an example, if you see a Rooficial ad on social media or on a news website for a webinar about a personal injury webinar after visiting a page on our website about personal injury, that is possible because of this type of tracking. We use HubSpot tracking codes to log Users activities on our Rooficial.com and all subdomains, and we send our newsletters, webinar invitations and other announcements through HubSpot. This enables us to understand what educational materials you have interacted with, what web pages you’ve visited, and determine whether you’ve opened and interacted with our emails. We use this information to provide you with a more customized experience that will be more useful to you, and also to understand the demand for and engagement with our educational materials, which empowers us to improve them and make them more useful for you in the future.

We do not directly place cookies in our Members’ websites or their End Users’ browsers. However, all Rooficial powered websites use two services, CloudFlare and New Relic, that do use cookies that get placed in the End Users’ browsers.

●New Relic is a service that we use to monitor the speed and availability of websites. It uses cookies in Rooficial powered sites and End Users’ browsers to make this possible. For a description of New Relic’s use of cookies in browsers, seehttps://docs.newrelic.com/docs/browser/new-relic-browser/page-load-timing-resources/new-relic-cookies-used-browser, and for their cookies policy, see https://newrelic.com/termsandconditions/cookie-policy.

●CloudFlare is a service that we use to provide security certificates (commonly known as SSLcertificates) to our Members’ websites. These cookies are used for security and enable ourMembers’ websites to be shown to End Users over HTTPS in their web browsers. For detailsabout the CloudFlare cookie we use, see https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200170156-What-does-the-Cloudflare-cfduid-cookie-do-.

Google Analytics integration
You have the option to connect your Google Analytics account to your Rooficial account. If you enable this option, you will be giving us permission to retrieve data on your behalf from your Google account, such as your:

•Email address
•Google Analytics properties associated with your Google account

At any time, you may remove our access to your Google account by disabling the integration in your account settings. We use the data we retrieve from Google on your behalf to display summary reports and graphs related to your website's traffic. For example, when you visit your website's reports section in your Rooficial account, we might present a graph of daily unique visitor counts across a specified date range. These reports are only accessible to logged-in users belonging to your specific account. We do not sell or share your Google Analytics data. Beyond the specific use case of reliably providing you with summary reports and graphs, we do not access or store your Google Analytics data.
