Your privacy is very important to us. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent. Please read this privacy policy to learn more about the ways in which we use and protect your personal information. We want you to fully understand our privacy practices. This policy applies to any United States resident who is age eightteen or older and is a user of this site.

The privacy practices of this statement apply to our services available under the domain and subdomains of this website (the "site"). For the processing of personal data, we, as data controller, adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union. To that effect, the users of our website and our software are the data subjects. When visiting our website, each page access is temporarily logged in order to combat abuse and to ensure the health of the website. This data includes the time of access and your IP address. This data is not shared with any third party and is retained until the next time that you login. The retention period of data you enter is potentially unlimited unless you delete it, removal is requested by you, or is required by law. Data processing is in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point of the GDPR. By visiting this website, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this privacy policy. If you do not agree please do not use or access our site. Your data is NOT portable.

This privacy policy describes the information, as part of the normal operation of our services, we collect from you and what may happen to that information. Although this policy may seem long, we have prepared a detailed policy because we believe you should know as much as possible about our practices so that you can make informed decisions. By accepting the privacy policy and any other agreement presented to you on the site, you expressly consent to our use and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with this privacy policy. This privacy policy is effective upon acceptance in registration for new registering users, and is otherwise effective on December 2, 2022 for all users.

Information collected
Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. This allows us to provide services and features that most likely meet your needs, and to customize our service to make your experience safer and easier. We only collect personal information about you that we consider necessary for achieving this purpose. For statistical purposes, anonymized data may be collected in aggregate form from which no information about individual users can be inferred.

In general, beyond the first page, you cannot browse the site without telling us who you are, i.e., by registering, and thereby revealing certain personal information about yourself. Once you give us your personal information, you are not anonymous to us. If you choose to use our services, we require you to provide contact and identity information, billing information and other personal information as indicated on the forms throughout the site. Where possible, we indicate which fields are required and which fields are optional. You always have the option to not provide information by choosing not to use a particular service or feature. We also require certain financial information, namely Credit Card information, but we do NOT retain it on the site/Platform.

We automatically track certain information based upon your behavior on the site. It is not our initial intention but we may at some time in the future use this information to do internal research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand, protect and serve you and our community. This information may include the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on the site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on the site or not), your computer browser information, and your IP address. We encrypt and store your origin IP address and may use it in tracking traffic and origin of users.

We do not currently nor do we plan to use "cookies" on any pages of the site, at least initially, but may at some point in the future do so to help analyze our web page flow, measure promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and safety. "Cookies" are small files placed on your hard drive that assist us in providing our services. We may offer certain features that are only available through the use of a "cookie". We do not presently use cookies to allow you to enter your password less frequently during a session, but rather require you to enter it each time you login to encrypt or decrypt messages or send such messages.

We presently do not allow third-parties to advertise on this site, but may at some time in the future.

If you send personal correspondence through this site, such as messages or emails, or if other users send personal correspondence to you through this site, we will collect such information into a file specific to you or the pair of you. The administrator may have access to your messages as needed for the adminsitration and oversight of this site.

Communications from the site
On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service related announcement. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send users an email. Generally, users may NOT opt-out of these communications, though they can delete their account their account at any time. However, communications from the administrator of this site will not be promotional in nature.


We communicate with users only through the website or by generated emails. On an irregular basis we may communicate to users regarding issues relating to their account via email or phone, at the administrator's option. Because you will have an on-going relationship with this site, "unsubscribing" is not provided as an option for texts ot emails. However, you can delete your account at any time. The Administrator reserves the right, at his sole discretion, to permanently delete your account. Any information stored on this site may be deleted automatically or by the adminstrator, after 6-months of the account being inactive, or in the event of non-payment of associated fees, regardless of cause or reason.


Sharing information
Though we make extraordinary efforts to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our web site. The Administrator reserves the right to access your personal information, in his sole discretion, but does not intend to do so under normal circumstances without, in his sole opinion, reasonable cause.


We do not plan to do so initially, but may at some time in the future, we may share web site usage information about users with reputable advertisers for the purpose of targeting internet banner advertisements on this site. The information collected for them and shared through this technology will NOT inlcude Personal Information (name, email address, phone number, etc.).

Other corporate entities. If we share any of our data, including personal information about you, with other entities, such as our Credit Card processor, to the extent that these entities have access to your information, they will be bound to treat it at least as protectively as they treat information they obtain from their other users.

In the event we go through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users’ personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.

Choice to opt-out
Our users will be given the opportunity to \‘opt-out\’ of having their personal information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point in the future that we begin sharing that information. Users who no longer wish to receive communications may delete their account and thereby opt-out of receiving communications. You may not able to simply 'opt-out' by replying with unsubscribe in the subject line of the email response or emailing us because emails you receive from this site are integral to the services of this site and auto-generated in most cases. You may respond with 'unsubscribe' in the subject line to the administrator but the only recourse available to the Administrator is to delete your account.

Links
This web site contains no links to other sites, other than stripe.com for credit care processing, but emails issued through this site will contain links back into this site, and may at some future time contain advertisement with links to third-party sites. Please be aware that we, Applied Market Solutions LLC are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this web site.

Security
This web site takes every precaution and then some to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the web site, their information is protected both online and off-line through encryption and firewalls. ALL USER INFORMATION ON THIS SITE IS ENCRYPTED USING OUR PROPRIETARY ENCRYPTION TECHNIQUES. We process credit cards using a service provided by Stripe.com and their website states they are PCI compliant. Any third-party site to which we connect is responsible for their own compliance with relevant laws.

When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as names, Zip Codes, email addresses, Cell Phone Numbers, and/or passwords), that information, as well as the User's IP address, is encrypted with the most-recommended encryption software in the industry, and the sites are ssl compiant. We do not ask for or store your social security number or driver's license number.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’ important information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is encrypted and inaccessible to anyone other than the Administrator and technical specialists working under the strictest of privacy-compliance and non-disclosure agreements. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific related job are granted access to personally identifiable information. However, customer service personnel, if any, will have access to contact information but NO access to uneeded information, such as User Passwords. Furthermore, all employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment with standard firewall protections, and the site's main code itself is encrypted. Third-party code is not separately encrypted but is stored on a secure server.

Correcting/updating/deleting/deactivating personal information If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as phone, email, or credit card information), or if a user no longer desires our service, we provide a way to update or delete users’ personally identifiable information. This can be done online. If unable to make the change online, contact us as listed below.

Notification of changes If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
If, however, we are going to use users’ personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users by posting a notice on our site for 30 days or send a blanket email to all users.

Your rights You have the right to access to, rectification of, erasure of, restriction of processing of, but not portability of your personal data pursuant to Articles 15, 16, 17, 18, 20 of the GDPR respectively. You have the right to withdraw consent to processing pursuant Art. 7 (3) GDPR. You have the right to object to processing pursuant Art. 21 GDPR.
