Collection of Personal Data
Personal data is information that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, e-mail address, postal address, or phone number (“Personal Data”).
We may collect Personal Data from you when you enroll in, subscribe to or agree to purchase any of our paid goods and services, or register for news alerts on our website. In addition to information collected during registration, enrollment, subscription or purchase, Island Gratitude may collect Personal Data knowingly provided by you in e-mails to our website, online forms, order and registration forms, surveys, polls, sweepstakes, and contest entries.
Providing this information is always at your option, although your failure to provide Personal Data in such instances may limit your ability to use such features of our website. In all of these cases, we will collect Personal Data from you only if you voluntarily submit such information to us. We will not sell, share, license, trade or rent your Personal Data other than as specified in this Privacy Policy, unless we have your consent to do so.
We may, from time to time in emails, alerts or other mailings you have agreed to accept from us, include advertisements, sponsorships, other offers from or information about third parties. This does not and will not mean that our website endorses any specific products or services available from such third parties.
Such materials from those third parties, regardless of their relationship with us, are provided merely for information purposes and users should make their own judgments and evaluation of any services or products available on any other websites. You do not have to provide us with any Personal Data to visit our website. However, if you choose to withhold requested information, you may not be able to visit all sections or use all features of our website.
Collection of Monitoring Data and Use of Tracking Tools
In addition to Personal Data, Island Gratitude and service providers it engages may collect and/or track information that by itself is not used to identify you personally or to contact you, such as demographic information, domain names, computer type, browser types, screen resolution, and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of our website (“Monitoring Data”).
We use Monitoring Data to help us understand who uses our website and to improve the website. To enhance the Internet experience on our website, Island Gratitude and service providers it engages may use various Internet technologies such as Google Analytics, Facebook tracking pixels, cookies, web beacons, action tags, gif tags and JavaScript (together, “Tracking Tools”).
Tracking Tools are files or tools that are placed on your computer in order to identify your Web browser and the activities of your computer on our website. Island Gratitude uses these technologies to customize and enhance the Internet experience of individual users.
When you revisit Island Gratitude, we may recognize you by a Tracking Tool and customize your experience accordingly. For example, once you have completed the registration process, a cookie will be used to remember your registration preferences.
You may decline Internet cookies, if any, by using the appropriate feature of your Web browser software, if available. If cookies are disabled, however, all features of Our Website may not operate as intended. Information about the procedure you are required to follow in order to disable cookies can be found on your Internet browser provider’s website.
We believe Tracking Tool technologies add value to the user experience, and the information obtained through these technologies is not sold or otherwise made available to third parties by Island Gratitude, other than as may from time to time be specified in this Privacy Policy.
Use and Sharing of Data Collected
Our Website may use Personal Data and Monitoring Data it collects for editorial and feedback purposes, marketing and promotion, statistical analysis of users’ behavior, product development, delivering products and services, providing customer support, customizing and improving the content and layout of our website, completing business transactions, administering individual accounts and meeting government regulatory requirements such as sales tax collection.
Monitoring Data may be used for internal or external purposes such as researching and identifying market segments and needs. Island Gratitude may share your Personal Data and other data collected with service providers, affiliates, and subsidiaries in connection with the services we provide.
Island Gratitude may disclose your Personal Data to unaffiliated third parties if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary (a) to comply with applicable laws, rules, or regulations, or to preserve Island Gratitude’s legal rights in our content, whether the same arises from contract or through force of law; (b) to provide you with any services, information, special offers, promotions or products you requested or consented to and to allow us to perform other activities related to such services and products; or (c) to operate these and other of our systems properly.
We may also share your Personal Data with a sponsor or other third party that is interested in serving you (“Third-Party Providers”). You may instruct us at any time not to share your Personal Data with such Third-Party Providers by contacting us in the manner provided under “Your Choices Regarding Personal Data Collection and Use”.
Island Gratitude is not responsible for any further use or disclosure of your Personal Data by Third-Party Providers; such use or disclosure is governed by the Third-Party Providers’ privacy policies. Island Gratitude reserves the right to transfer Personal Data and Monitoring Data it collects to successors to the relevant portion of any of our businesses or to independent contractors it engages to assist with or perform on Island Gratitude’s behalf any of the foregoing activities.
Also, if Island Gratitude’s assets are subject to a claim in bankruptcy, Personal Data and Monitoring Data may be an asset subject to the claims of a trustee in bankruptcy and may be available to our creditors. In addition, Island Gratitude reserves the right to use Personal Data to contact you regarding your account status and changes to this Privacy Policy or any other policies, agreements or transactions relevant to your use of our website. Island Gratitude will take reasonable steps to maintain the integrity of the collected data so that it is reliable and appropriate for the foregoing uses.
Your Choices Regarding Personal Data Collection and Use
You may choose to receive promotional correspondence from Island Gratitude and its marketing partners by checking the appropriate box when you register or by contacting us via contact form. We will not share any Personal Data with a third party without giving you the opportunity to choose to share such Data. You may modify, correct, change or update Personal Data that we have collected via Island Gratitude or request that your Personal Data be removed from our database by contacting Island Gratitude via our contact form. If you have purchased products, including subscriptions, from us in the past, you may also request that your Personal Data be removed from our database by contacting Island Gratitude via our contact form.
In any instance, our removal of such information may require you to register again with Island Gratitude in the event you later wish full access to our website. You should be aware that it may not be technologically possible to remove or verify each and every record of information you have provided to us from our system. The need to back-up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your Personal Data may exist in archived systems. However, promptly after receiving your request, all Personal Data stored in databases we actively use and other readily searchable media will be updated, corrected, changed, deleted or confirmed to you, as appropriate, as soon as reasonably practicable.
Links Island Gratitude may contain links to other websites maintained by third parties (“Other Sites”), either as a hyperlink or through a direct data feed accessed by you. Island Gratitude does not endorse, and is not responsible for, the privacy practices or the content of these websites.

Technical measures include use of firewall protection and encryption technology where appropriate. Although we take reasonable precautions to assess the reliability of such technology, it relies on the statements of the vendors of those products and services as part of its security evaluation.
BY USING OUR WEBSITE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND CONSENT TO THE FACT THAT ISLAND GRATITUDE SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR FAILURES OF SUCH PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AND THAT YOU SHALL HAVE RECOURSE SOLELY AGAINST THE MANUFACTURERS OR VENDORS THEREOF.
