Protecting your privacy and the protection of your Personal Information is very important to Staffparty.

Staffparty is committed to protecting the privacy and accuracy of the information we collect about you, including your Personal Information, to the fullest extent possible.
We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy. We will do our best to give you advance notice of any material changes (except those that may need to be made immediately in order to comply with law or to deal with an urgent situation that threatens the security of information held by Staffparty or severely impacts Staffparty's functionality) so you can decide if you want to maintain your account with Staffparty. In some circumstances, the change may provide you with options with respect to information sharing that will require further action from you; in other cases, the changes are essential to Staffparty's delivery of services, in which case the only way to avoid the change is to cancel the service.

How Staffparty Uses Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
Staffparty and our analytics providers use technologies such as cookies, beacons, tags, and scripts, to analyze trends, administer the Site, track users’ movements around the Site, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual and aggregated basis.
When you visit a website, its server may generate a piece of text known as a “cookie” to place on your computer. The cookie allows the server to “remember” specific information about your visit while you are connected. The cookie makes it easier for you to use the dynamic features of web pages. Persistent cookies remain on your phone, tablet or computing device after you log off from a website, close your browser, or close the applicable app. Session cookies are deleted from your phone, tablet or other computing device when you log off a website, close your browser, and/or close your browser or the applicable app. Cookies from Staffparty web pages collect only information about your browser’s visit to the Site. Staffparty does use cookies to collect Personal Information.
Staffparty uses cookies to collect information about your browser’s visit to the Site. Staffparty uses persistent cookies to save your registration ID and login password for future logins to the Site. Staffparty uses session cookies to better understand how you interact with the Site, and to monitor aggregate usage by customers of the Site and web traffic routing on the Site. If you do not accept cookies, however, You may not be able to use all portions or all functionality of the Site.
We may also occasionally use “web beacons” (also known as “clear gifs,” “web bugs,” “1-pixel gifs,” etc.) that allow us to collect Non-Personally Identifiable Information about your response to our email communications, and for other purposes. Web beacons are tiny images, placed on a web page or email that can tell us if you have visited a particular area of the Site. For example, if you have given us permission to send you emails, we may send you an email urging you to use a certain feature of the Site. If you do respond to that email and use that feature, the web beacon will tell us that our email communication with you has been successful. Because web beacons are used in conjunction with persistent cookies (described above), if you set your browser to decline or deactivate cookies, web beacons cannot function.
Internet Protocol (“IP”) Address
We collect the IP address of all visitors to our website. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. We use IP addresses to help us diagnose problems with our server, administer our website, analyze trends, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use to improve our site, and deliver customized, personalized content. IP addresses are not linked to Personal Information. As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may include IP addresses, browser type, ISP, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and/or clickstream data.
We may combine this automatically collected log information with other information we collect about you. We do this to improve the services we offer you, to improve marketing, analytics, or site functionality.
How Staffparty Uses Email
We may use a third-party vendor to help us manage some of our email communications with you. Although we may supply this vendor with email addresses of those,we wish them to contact, your email address is never used for any purpose other than to communicate with you on our behalf. When you click on a link in an email, you may temporarily be redirected through one of the vendor’s servers (although this process will be invisible to you) which will register that you have clicked on that link, and have visited our Staffparty Services. We never share any information, other than your email address, with our third-party email vendor, which does not share these email addresses with anyone else. You may opt-out at any time by clicking on the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of these emails.
User Profiles and Submissions
Certain user profile information, including your name, location, and any video or image content that you upload to the Staffparty Services may be displayed to other users to facilitate user interaction within the Staffparty Services. You may limit the profile information that can be seen by others by adjusting your account privacy settings. Please remember that any content you upload to your public user profile, along with any Personal Information or content that you voluntarily disclose online in a manner other users can view (on discussion boards and in messages, etc.) becomes publicly available, and can be collected and used by others. Staffparty reserves the right to delete any comments it deems inappropriate, at Staffparty's sole discretion. Your user name may also be displayed to other users if and when you send messages or comments through the Staffparty Services, and other users can contact you through messages and comments.
Third Party Tools and Analytics
Staffparty utilizes third party tracking tools from third party service providers, which may enable these third parties to analyze our Website traffic for analytics purposes. The Website also includes social media tools, and such tools may collect information such as your IP address and which page you are visiting on our Website, and may set cookies to enable the features to function properly or to tailor or personalize the services of the company providing the features. All of these tools are hosted by the third parties who provide them, and your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.
Third Party Payments Provider
Staffparty uses Stripe as its payments services provider. Stripe’s Privacy Policy is located at https://stripe.com/us/privacy, and you should review this document for details about Stripe’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
Our Commitment to Children’s Privacy
Protecting the privacy of children is very important to us. The Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”) defines a “Child” as anyone under the age of 13. Staffparty strictly adheres to COPPA. For that reason, we do not collect or maintain information obtained through the Staffparty Services from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our Site is structured to attract anyone under 13.
Security
Staffparty employs technical, administrative and physical safeguards to help protect against unauthorized access to, use or disclosure of customer information we collect or store. We store your information on encrypted cloud servers located in the U.S. and that we have selected based on a review of their security safeguards. Our employees are trained on the importance of protecting privacy and on the proper access to, use and disclosure of customer information, and third-party contractors are obligated to abide by this Privacy Policy and to deploy industry standard security safeguards. Under our practices and policies, access to sensitive personally identifiable information is authorized only for those who have a business need for such access.
Although we work hard to protect personal information that we collect and store, no program is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee that our safeguards will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use or disclose personal information. Staffparty maintains security and incident response plans to handle incidents involving unauthorized access to private information we collect or store.
