Scope; Third Party Sites. This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect at and through the Sites. IGUARD INC’s Sites may contain links to third party sites that are not owned or controlled by IGUARD INC. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave IGUARD INC’s Sites and to read the privacy statements or policies of each and every website that collects personal information.

Additional Terms. Please reference IGUARD INC’s Terms and Conditions of Sale of Products and Services (“Terms of Sale”) which apply to your purchase of IGUARD INC’s Products and use of its Sites. Further, if you subscribe to IGUARD INC’s Services made available in connection with IGUARD INC’s Products and Sites, your use of those Services is also subject to the Terms of Sale.

The Sites are not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children or teenagers under the age of eighteen (18). If you are under the age of 18, please do not attempt to register with us at the Sites or provide any personal information about yourself to us. If you are under the age of 18, you may only use the Sites under the supervision of your parents or guardians.

Purpose of this privacy policy and how it affects you

The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to clearly and concisely inform you of: (i) the information we collect through the Sites and/or your use of the Products and Services; (ii) how we use that information; (iii) what, if any, information we may share and with whom; (iv) how we protect that information; and (v) how you can obtain access to and review your Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) collected through the Sites and/or your use of the Products and Services and request modifications and corrections. Any personal or other information we collect that can be used to uniquely identify or contact a single person is PII. Protecting your PII is a core value at IGUARD INC and this Privacy Policy is designed to explain to you in plain language how and what kinds of information we collect (public and PII), how IGUARD INC itself, and through third party services, uses “tracking” technology during your visits to the Sites and/or use of the Products and Services, how the Company uses the information it collects and how we protect that information. In addition, this Privacy Policy clearly explains the steps that you should take if you desire to opt-out of our personal information collection process and how to review and request modification of your personal information that IGUARD INC may have collected.

III. Information we collect and how and why we collect it

IGUARD INC collects certain information to enable you to take full advantage of our Products and Services when you register at our Sites, order Products or subscribe to Services either through our Sites or through our customer service call center, communicate with customer service representatives, participate in our promotions, surveys or activities, or otherwise communicate with IGUARD INC. If you choose, you can visit the Sites without providing us with any information about yourself.

IGUARD INC seeks to limit the collection and use of customer information required to deliver services to our customers, which includes advising our customers about our Products, Services and other opportunities, such as promotions, and to administer our business.

The types of PII you provide and we collect when you become a customer of IGUARD INC by Purchasing a Product or System from us include:

Personal Information Collected Through a Security Camera (if applicable)

When you enable the recording features on one or more security cameras (“Camera(s)”), if any, IGUARD INC may record, store, and process video and/or audio recordings from the Cameras, depending on how you configure the Camera(s) and its settings and depending on whether IGUARD INC offers and you have subscribed to such Services from IGUARD INC. This may include capturing and making available to you portions of the recording data as part of a notification or analysis of the data to identify motion and other events. IGUARD INC may process and store information from your Camera(s), if any, so that we can send you alerts when there is any event. If you have the recording features enabled, and IGUARD INC offers recording Services to which you have subscribed, during your Camera(s) recording subscription Services period we will capture, process, and store video and audio recordings from your Camera(s) for at least thirty (30) days from the date such data is first recorded and stored on IGUARD INC’s systems (IGUARD INC’s “Date of First Capture”). During your Camera(s) recording subscription Services period, you will be able to access those recordings for up to 30 days from IGUARD INC’s Date of First Capture of such data.

NOTE: As more fully explained in the Terms of Sale, privacy laws in the state of your Premises may impose certain obligations on you and your use of Camera(s). You (not IGUARD INC) are solely responsible for ensuring that you comply with any applicable laws when you use your Camera(s). You may be required, for example, to display a notice (even inside your Premises) that alerts visitors to your Premises that you are using a Camera(s) that is recording audio and video. You’re recording and sharing of videos captured using your Camera(s) that involves other people may affect their privacy rights.

(i) Web-Browser Cookies. IGUARD INC’s Sites may use “cookies” to enhance your user experience. Your web browser may place cookies on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about you. A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. Cookies may store unique identifiers, user preferences and other information. You may choose to set your web browser to reject cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, please note that some parts of the Website may not function properly. Please also note that “cookies” are used to collect general usage and volume statistical information that does not include PII.

(ii) Web Beacons. IGUARD INC’s Sites may also contain electronic images known as Web beacons (sometimes called single-pixel gifs) that are set by IGUARD INC’s service providers or business partners. Web beacons are used along with cookies enabling IGUARD INC and/or its partners to compile aggregated statistics and analyze how its Sites are used. IGUARD INC may use a third-party service provider or its business partners to gather information about how you and others use IGUARD INC’s Sites. For example, IGUARD INC will know how many users access a specific page and which links they clicked on. IGUARD INC uses this aggregated information to understand and optimize how IGUARD INC’s Sites are used.

By using IGUARD INC’s Sites, you consent to the processing of data about you by our analytics partners in the manner and for the purposes set out above regarding the use of cookies and web beacons.

You should visit the websites of our analytics partners for more information about how they use and protect non-PII. IGUARD INC uses analytics partners, who use cookies and web beacons to perform their services, to help us understand how visitors use our Sites and to compile reports on website activity, to analyze our customers, including your use of our Sites and our relationship with you, so that we can improve our Sites, and give us data about where visitors, users and customers are clicking on our Sites.

Links to Third-Party Sites and Social Media.

Our Sites may contain links to other websites operated by third parties including, but not limited to, social media features such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest buttons or links. These third-party sites may collect information about you if you click on a link and the social media sites may automatically record information about your browsing behavior every time you visit a site that has a social media button. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing the link, not this Privacy Policy.

How we use your information

To Provide Products, Services, and Information to You.

Your Consent. Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, we will share personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of IGUARD INC only when we have your consent to do so.

Legal Proceedings. We will share personal information with third party companies, organizations or individuals outside of IGUARD INC if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:

(i) Meet any applicable law, regulation, subpoena, legal process or governmental request.

(ii) Enforce applicable Terms of Sale and/or a Retail Installment Agreement, if applicable, including investigation of potential violations.

(iii) Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.

(iv) Protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of IGUARD INC, our users, customers or the public as required or permitted by law.

Transfer in the Event of Sale or Change of Control.

In such a case, unless permitted or otherwise directed by applicable law, your information would remain subject to the terms of the applicable Privacy Policy in effect at the time of such transfer.

Security of your information

The security of your information, particularly your PII, is important to IGUARD INC. IGUARD INC follows generally accepted industry standards to protect your PII, both during transmission and once we receive it. Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, all PII and other sensitive/payment and other information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. IGUARD INC implements a variety of security measures when a user enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your PII.

Because no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, IGUARD INC cannot guarantee its security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of information at any time. WE DO NOT WARRANT OR REPRESENT THAT WE CAN GUARANTY THE SECURITY OF ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU TRANSMIT TO US WHEN YOU USE IGUARD INC’S SITES. YOU PROVIDE SUCH PERSONAL INFORMATION AT YOUR OWN RISK.

If you have any questions about the security of your information in using IGUARD INC’s Sites, Products or Services, please contact us at iguardinc.com/contact-us/ .

Information IGUARD INC may share with third parties’ content and leaks

We may collect and share information that we do not consider to be personal information or PII, such as aggregated user statistics, with third parties other than our analytics partners referenced above.

(i) Site Hosting and Designer Third Parties. We may use third party vendors to perform certain services on behalf of the Company, such as hosting the Sites, designing and/or operating website features, tracking website analytics, enabling you to purchase any goods and/or services, and allowing us to send you e-mail newsletters or perform other administrative services as well as performing other services at your request or with your consent that relate to the Company’s products or services, such as, but not limited to, alarm monitoring. We may provide third parties with access to your information, including your personal information, to carry out the services that these parties are performing for you or for us.

(ii) Site Content Provided in Association with Third Parties. Access to certain areas of the Sites may be provided to you in association with third parties and may require you to disclose personal information in order to register for and access products and/or services. Such cobranded areas will identify the third-party associates. If you elect to register for products and/or services at co-branded areas you may be providing your information to both us and the third-party associates. Further, if you sign-in to a cobranded area with a username and password obtained on the Sites, your PII may be disclosed to the identified third-party associates for that co-branded area and will be subject to the third-party associates’ privacy policies.

(iii) IGUARD INC’s Service Providers and Affiliates. IGUARD INC may share your PII with its service providers, business partners, subsidiaries and affiliates; and, if IGUARD INC does so, it will require those third parties to protect your PII in compliance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

IGUARD INC does not sell, lease or transfer your PII to ANY third parties.

VII. Your ability to review your personal information and request changes

Changes to Your Personal Information and Preferences.
