Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to Revelwood. This privacy policy (“Policy”) describes our practices in connection with information that we collect through software applications (including mobile applications) and websites (including the website currently located at revelwood.com) that we operate and that contain or link to this Privacy Policy (such applications and websites are collectively referred to as the “Applications”). This Policy tells you how personal information is collected, used, disclosed and protected by Revelwood.
By downloading, accessing or using the Applications, or providing information to us in connection with the Applications, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy and, in particular, you consent to the processing of your information in the manner described below.
This Policy does not address the privacy practices of any third party. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any such third parties, including those to whom we disclose personal information in accordance with this Policy or to whom you submit personal information having accessed such third party application or website via the Applications. We do not endorse any applications or websites which may be linked via the Applications.
1. Changes to This Policy
We may change this Policy from time to time. We encourage you to check this Policy whenever you use our Applications and services to understand how your personal information is used.
2. Information Collected
We collect information from you in various ways when you use our Applications and services. We may also supplement this information with information from other companies. We collect two general types of information, namely personal information and aggregate data. As used in this Policy, the term “personal information” means information that specifically identifies an individual (such as a name and email address), and demographic and other information when directly linked to information that can identify an individual.
Our definition of personal information does not include “aggregate” data. Aggregate data is information we collect about a group or category of services or users from which individual user identities have been removed. In other words, no personal information is included in aggregate data. Aggregate data helps us understand trends in our users’ needs so that we can better consider new features or otherwise tailor our services. This Policy in no way restricts or limits our collection and use of aggregate data, and we may share aggregate data about our users with third parties for various purposes, including to help us better understand our customer needs and improve our services and for advertising and marketing purposes.
The following are the specific types of information we collect from you. We collect information you give us on our Web site and when you register for and use our Applications and services. Examples include the following:
- Registration and Profile Information. Information. When you register to use our services or update your profile, we may collect various kinds of information about you including, your name and email address; your title, company and other profile information you provide; demographic information; and information you upload like photos, files, and documents.
- Payment Information. Information. We or our third party billing vendors may collect your billing and payment information, including credit card information and billing address.
- Submissions and Customer Service. From time to time we may use surveys, contests or sweepstakes requesting personal or demographic information and customer feedback.
- Automatically Collected Information. We automatically receive certain types of information when you interact with our Applications, services and communications. For example, it is standard for your Web browser to automatically send information to every Web site you visit, including ours. That information includes your computer’s IP address, access times, your browser type and language, and referring Web site addresses. We may also collect information about the type of operating system you use, your account activity, and files and pages accessed or used by you.
- Cookies and Web Beacons. We may also use certain kinds of technology such as cookies and Web beacons to collect information. Among other things, the use of cookies and Web beacons enables us to improve our Web sites and emails by seeing which areas and features are most popular, to count the number of computers accessing our Web site, to personalize and improve your experience, to record your preferences, and to allow you to visit our Web site without re-entering your member ID and/or password. A cookie is a small amount of data which is sent to your browser from a Web site’s computers and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Most browsers automatically accept cookies as the default setting. You can modify your browser setting to reject our cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie by editing your browser options. However, if a browser is set not to accept cookies or if a user rejects a cookie, some portions of the Web site and services may not function properly. For example, you may not be able to sign in and access certain Web page features or services. A Web beacon is an electronic image, also called a “gif,” that may be used on our Web pages to deliver cookies, count visits and compile statistics on usage and campaign effectiveness or in our emails to tell if an email has been opened and acted upon.

4. Freedom of Information/Open Records Requests; Sharing of Personal Information.

Information you supply to us may be subject to disclosure to anyone who asks.

We may disclose information to a third party to (a) comply with laws or respond to lawful requests and legal process, (b) to protect us and our agents, customers, and others including to enforce our agreements, policies and terms of use or (c) in the good faith belief that disclosure is needed to respond to an emergency, or protect the personal safety of any person.

5. Network and Information Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information we collect from you to prevent loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. In addition, highly confidential personal information such as credit card number and password that we request from you on our Web site is protected with encryption, such as Secured Socket Layer (SSL) protocol, during transmission over the Internet. The servers on which information is stored are kept in a controlled environment with limited access. While we take reasonable efforts to guard personal information we knowingly collect directly from you, no security system is impenetrable. In addition, we cannot guarantee that any passively-collected personal information you choose to include in documents you store on our systems are maintained at adequate levels of protection to meet specific needs or obligations you may have relating to that information.
Your account information and access to our service is accessible only through the use of an individual user ID and password. To protect the confidentiality of personal information, you must keep your password confidential and not disclose it to any other person. Please advise us immediately if you believe your password has been misused. In addition, always logout and close your browser when you finish your session. Please note that we will never ask you to disclose your password in an unsolicited phone call or email.
Some of the information used by our Applications are accessed from third party products such as IBM databases or applications based on login credentials and access rights that you provide. With the exception of server identification information and login credentials (which you may opt not to have stored in the Applications), we do not store any such data or disclose it to third party providers we may use. Any such data is treated confidentially and accessed only for purposes of your convenience and use of the Applications.
