CALIBER DATA Privacy Statement
Protecting your privacy is a top priority at CALIBER DATA. We want you to understand how we handle the personal information about you that we may obtain, and how we may and may not share it. This statement covers all of our information handling practices for CALIBER DATA for the benefit of current and past customers.
Information We May Obtain.
As part of providing you products or services, we may obtain personal information from the following sources:
Information you provide to us on applications and other forms, that you otherwise enter on our web site, or that you provide to us in writing or by telephone, such as when you contact our customer service staff. This information may include items such as your first name, email address and password. In addition, please see Use of Cookies and other Technologies below for information we receive automatically when you visit our web site.
Information from your transactions with us, our affiliates or non-affiliated third parties such as account activity and your purchase information for our cash back service.
Information from third parties, including public sources, such as verification services and consumer reporting agencies (to comply with regulatory requirements, ensure the accuracy of data and prevent fraud, for example), or from other sources (such as from other institutions like a bank or broker you use to transfer funds into a CALIBER DATA account, or public sources).
We use the information we obtain in order to develop, offer and deliver our products and services, to offer products and services of our affiliates, participating companies, marketing partners and other companies, to process transactions in your accounts, and to fulfill legal and regulatory requirements.
Sharing Information with Non-affiliated Third Parties
Information about our customers is an important part of our business. We do not share, sell, rent or trade your personal information with non-affiliated third parties except as permitted or required by law, including as provided below:
Agents and Service Providers. In order to provide our products and services, we may share personal information about you with agents and service providers to perform functions on our behalf, such as to send email and mobile messages, analyze data, provide marketing services, process applications and credit card payments, and service accounts. We contractually obligate these service providers to access and use personal information only as needed to perform their functions and for no other purposes.
Protection of CALIBER DATA and Others. We may disclose personal information about you to third parties when we believe such disclosure is appropriate to comply with a legal requirement, such as a law, regulation, court order, subpoena or search warrant, or in the course of a legal proceeding. We may also disclose personal information as we believe appropriate to enforce or apply our rights under our agreements with customers, to protect the rights, property or safety of CALIBER DATA, our customers and others, including exchanging information for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
Business Transfers. If there is a change of control in CALIBER DATA's business (whether by merger, sale, or otherwise), its customer information could be sold as part of that transaction and your personally identifying information potentially could be used by the purchaser. Notice will be posted on the website so that you are aware of this change of control.
CALIBER DATA does not share member information with non-affiliated institutions to enable them to market their products and services directly to you.

Use of Cookies and other Technologies
Our web servers place and read "cookies" on our site's visitors' web browser for a variety of purposes. Cookies are small data files that are stored on an Internet user's web browser by a web server. One important use of cookies is to help identify you while you are logged in to the CALIBER DATA site. Consequently, if your browser does not accept session cookies, you may be unable to enroll or log in to our service using our site. You will, however, be able to browse our site as a visitor. The information CALIBER DATA collects from cookies and web server logs is used to administer the web service and customize information you receive when visiting our site. CALIBER DATA may also use and share aggregate information from cookies and web server logs to analyze and improve our web service offerings. This information does not identify individual visitors or customers. We do not link cookies to PII.
As is true of most web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes the internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, and date/time stamp. We use this information to analyze trends, to administer our web site, and to track users' movements around our web site.
The use of cookies, log files, or web beacons by our partners, affiliates, tracking utility company, or services providers is not covered by our privacy statement. We do not have access or control over third party cookies, log files, or web beacons that may be used.
Choices Regarding the Receipt of Email and Mobile Messages
You may choose whether and to what extent you receive email and mobile messages from CALIBER DATA about products and services offered by CALIBER DATA. We offer you choices, so that you may elect to receive offers that are of interest to you in the ways you wish. If you do not wish to receive these messages, you may opt-out of receiving marketing emails and mobile messages from CALIBER DATA by updating your CALIBER DATA account member profile preferences page on our web site. We reserve the right to send you specific administrative notices that are required by law, regulation, or as needed to service your account. If a user no longer wishes to receive these emails then you can deactivate your account by logging into your member account, selecting “My Profile,” and clicking on “Deactivate Account.”
Security of Your Personal Information
CALIBER DATA is committed to earning and keeping your trust. We understand the need for our customers' personal information to remain secure and private, and we have implemented policies and procedures designed to safeguard your information. We encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL), firewalls, system monitoring and security audits. The only CALIBER DATA employees who are authorized to see your personal information are those who need it as part of their jobs.
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personally identifiable information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Please remember that you also play a valuable part in data security. You should never share your CALIBER DATA password with anyone. If you feel your password has been compromised, you should change it immediately. After you have finished using our site, you should log out of your CALIBER DATA account and exit your browser so that no unauthorized persons can use our site under your name and account information.
If you have any questions about security on our website, you can send email to us at support@caliberdata.com .
Collection of Information from Children.
None of CALIBER DATA's products or services are intended for purchase by children. Accordingly, CALIBER DATA does not knowingly collect, either online or offline, personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13.
State Laws
In addition to the rights described in this policy, please note that you may have additional rights under state law. For example, if your address on file with us is a Washington address, we will not share personal information about you with a financial institution with whom we have a joint marketing relationship unless we provide you the required notice under Washington State law and you do not opt-out of that information sharing. In addition, if your address on file with us is a Vermont address, we will not share consumer report information about you with our affiliates unless you expressly consent to that information sharing.
Changes to This Privacy Statement
If we materially change this statement or our information-handling practices as described in this statement, we will notify you by email and/or through a notice on our web site at least 30 days prior to their implementation.
Privacy of CALIBER DATA Cash Back Rewards Service
What information does CALIBER DATA collect, and why?
Enrollment Information. To set up your membership with the CALIBER DATA Cash Back Rewards service, you will need to provide certain contact information, such as your first name, email address, username, and password. This information will also allow us to contact you about new special offer opportunities, unless you opt out of receiving these messages in your account preference settings.
Purchase Information. As a registered member, you can save on local deals and earn Cash Back rewards by shopping with our participating merchants and businesses. In addition, we give you the opportunity to donate all or part of the cash back rewards you earn to CALIBER DATA’s list of pre-approved charities and/or schools. In order to keep track of your Cash Back rewards and disburse your contributions, CALIBER DATA and its affiliate companies collect from some participating companies, grocery retailers or third party processors details of your transactions such as the date and amount of your transaction.
Cash Back Account Information. CALIBER DATA will maintain records to keep track of the Cash Back rewards you earn from your purchases with our participating companies. You can use our website to view your Cash Back rewards account balances and recent account activities, update your account profile, establish your charitable contributions, add additional beneficiaries, or contact a customer service representative.
How does CALIBER DATA use my information?
Management of Your Account. When you become a registered member, we use your contact and transaction data to manage your account.
Use of Third Parties for Fulfillment Purposes. We may use certain third parties to provide marketing and administrative services, such as keeping track of your purchases, analyzing data or delivering special offers to you on our behalf or on behalf of our participating companies based on your opt-in preferences. However, these third parties will be bound by legal agreements to not use or disclose the information we provide them for any purpose other than to perform the requested service.
Notification About Products and Services. We offer you the chance to maximize your CALIBER DATA membership through opportunities made available to you on our site and, unless you opt-out of receiving them, through email and/or mobile messages. We may use information about you to provide you offers tailored to your interests. Sometimes, we send offers to selected groups of members on behalf of our participating companies and/or affiliates. Occasionally, we engage third parties in the business of facilitating communications to send you information from certain participating companies, but only subject to strict confidentiality provisions that prohibit those third parties from providing your personal information to the participating companies. If you do not want to receive any of these marketing communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by logging into your member account and opting out of the desired communications in “My Preferences” Section.
Use of Information from Third Parties. We may obtain information about you from our participating companies and other third parties in order to provide you with savings and Cash Back reward opportunities tailored to your interests. You may opt out of receiving these offers by updating your account profile at any time on our website. We may also use information obtained from our participating companies and other third parties in conjunction with member account and enrollment information for analytical and audit purposes.
Use of Non-Personally Identifiable Information. We may also provide aggregated, non-personally identifiable information about our members to third parties for audit, marketing and other purposes. Because aggregated data is not associated with any particular person, these third parties will not have access to any personally identifiable information about you.
What
are my choices regarding the receipt of marketing messages?
We
reserve the right to send you specific administrative notices that
are required by law, regulation, or as needed to service your
account. You may choose whether or not to receive messages from
CALIBER DATA and our participating companies that may better suit
your interests based on your preferences and transaction history. If
you do not wish to receive these messages from CALIBER DATA and/or
our participating companies, you may opt-out by updating your CALIBER
DATA account member profile preferences on our web site. Our
participating companies reserve the right to contact you using
information from sources other than CALIBER DATA.
How
can I access and update my CALIBER DATA data?
You
may access and update information stored in your account profile by
visiting the CALIBER DATA site. Please keep your contact, account,
and preference information up-to-date. Doing so ensures that your
cash back rewards and contributions are properly tracked and
received. It also helps us inform you of new participating companies
who to deliver local offers and cash back rewards that may be of
interest to you based upon your pre-set preferences.
