Privacy Policy
1. Effective
This Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) was last modified on October 22, 2018. This Policy is part of the Terms and Conditions of Use (the “Terms”) that govern your use of the Sites and Services (as those terms are defined in the “Terms”). You may view or print the current version of the Terms here: [www.vennli.com/privacy].
2. Information Practices
Vennli, Inc., its affiliates, subsidiaries, predecessors, and successors-in-interest (“us” or “we”) understand that security and privacy are important issues for our users. We recognize the importance you place on keeping your information secure and confidential. We maintain the following standards to help protect information that personally identifies you. We may change this Policy at any time by posting revisions, and your continued use of the Sites and Services indicates your agreement to the revised Policy. Accordingly, we urge you to review the Policy often. If you do not agree to the Policy, you are not permitted to use the Sites or Services.
3. Collection of Information
You may be asked to voluntarily provide your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, credit card number, or other personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) to have access to some features of the Sites or to use the Services. By using the Sites and/or Services and providing us with your Personal Information, you consent to our use of such information as described in this Policy. You may always refuse to provide your Personal Information, and this may lead to our inability to provide you with certain products or services.
We or our business partners may also collect information that is anonymous, such as your IP number (a number used to identify your computer on the Internet) or the type of browser you are using (“Anonymous Information”). Because this information helps us in evaluating how our visitors use and navigate the Sites and Services, including the number and frequency of visitors, and the length of visits, we hope that, by using Anonymous Information, we can update the Sites and Services to make them more useful to you and other users. We reserve the right to maintain, update, disclose or otherwise use Anonymous Information, without limitation.
Your use of the Services may require you to share certain information regarding your business with us or our business partners (the “Business Information”). The Business Information is necessary to the operation of the tools provided to you via the Services. You may always refuse to provide the Business Information, but such a refusal may result in the loss of functionality of the applicable tools. Unless otherwise specified by you and agreed to by us in writing, our support and consultation specialists may also access your Business Information to provide you with requested assistance, support and consultation services.
Certain products and/or services available on the Site are provided to you in partnership with third parties and may require you to disclose personally identifiable information in order to register for and access such products and/or services. Such products and/or services shall identify the third party partners at the point of registration. If you elect to register for such products and/or services, your personally identifiable information will be transferred to such third parties’ and will be subject to the privacy policy and practices of such third parties. We are not responsible for the privacy practices and policies of such third parties and, therefore, you should review the privacy practices and policies of such third parties prior to providing your personally identifiable information in connection with such products and/or services.
4. Use of Information
We may use your Personal Information for the following purposes: to administer your account; to administer and improve the Sites and Services; to personalize the content of the Sites and Services to your preferences; to process requests made by you; to market our products and services to you and to notify you of our promotional events or our special offers; to provide Internet security; where reasonably necessary to enforce the Terms [www.vennli.com/terms], including this Policy; and if there is a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request. We may work with our business partners who may perform certain functions on our behalf, such as sending e-mail messages, managing data, or providing customer service. These business partners have access to your Personal Information only to the extent necessary to perform these specific functions and may not use it for any other purpose. Other than for the specific purposes set forth in this Policy, we will not disclose your Personal Information unless we obtain your prior consent or is legally required to do so.
We may use third party advertising companies to place ads on the Site and to place our advertisements on other web sites. These companies may use Anonymous Information about your visits to this and other web sites to provide advertisements on the Sites and other sites about goods and services that may be of interest to you.
We will not use the Business Information for any purpose other than in connection with the operation and improvement of the tools, in the creation of new tools, or providing you with assistance, support, or consultation.
If we are involved in the sale of a substantial portion of our business assets, notwithstanding anything to the contrary we may transfer Anonymous, Personal, and Business Information to the third-party acquirer who will thereafter step into our shoes and will be entitled to do anything we had the right to do under this Policy and the Terms.
5. Cookies and Other Technologies
When you visit the Sites or use the Services, we or a third party advertiser may store or recognize some information on your computer in the form of a “cookie” or similar file that provides an opportunity for a better user experience for you and better programming from us. A “cookie” is a small computer file that is transferred to a computer’s hard drive and which permits us to know about site visits. We may use cookies to improve your experience by making it easier for you to navigate through the Sites or use the Services or to make a site feature work better. Information collected from a “cookie” might include information regarding your browser, type of computer, operating system, Internet service provider and other similar information. Cookie technology may also gather information about the areas you visit on the Sites and about the links you may select from within the Sites to other areas of the Internet. We use such information to understand which services and resources our visitors prefer and how those services and resources are used. Cookies also allow us to remember you between visits. For example, they may be used for any auto-login feature on the Sites or to save any customized preference settings for future visits. With most Internet browsers or other software, you can erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block all cookies or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please refer to your browser instructions to learn more about these functions. If you reject cookies, functionality of the Sites and Services may be limited, and you may not be able to take advantage of many features.
We also use clear GIFs. Clear GIFs (also known as web bugs, beacons, or tags) are small graphic images placed on a web page, web-based document, or in an e-mail message. Clear GIFs are invisible to the user because they are typically very small (only 1-by-1 pixel) and the same color as the background of the web page, document or e-mail message. We do not use clear GIFs to collect personal information about you. However, we may use clear GIFs to capture statistical usage information for the Sites. We may correlate this information to a user to personalize user experience and for statistical analysis of user experiences on the Sites.
6. Email Communications
We recommend that you do not include any sensitive personal information in e-mail communications directed to it. We may communicate with you by postal mail, e-mail or by posting notices on the Sites. All agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
7. Privacy of Children
We encourage parents and guardians to be aware of and participate in their children’s online activities. The Sites and Services are not intended or designed to attract children under the age of 13. We strictly adhere to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and will not knowingly collect, use or disclose Personal Information from any child under the age of 13 in any manner that violates this law. Please note that the Sites may contain links to other sites on the Internet that are owned and operated by third parties (“Third Party Sites”) which may request Personal Information from children under the age of 13. We are not responsible for the collection or use of Personal Information collected from any child under the age of 13 at any Third Party Sites. We encourage parents and guardians to review the privacy policies contained on the Third Party Sites. We disclaim any liability for any third party’s use of such Personal Information obtained through using the Third Party Site.
8. Your Opportunity to Opt-out of E-mail
In the event you do not wish to receive promotional or editorial content e-mail(s) from us, follow the opt-out instructions contained within the body of any e-mail message you receive.
9. Links
The Sites may contain links to Third Party Sites. We are not responsible for the collection or use of your information of any type at any Third Party Sites. Therefore, we disclaim any liability for any third party’s use of any type of your information obtained through using the Third Party Site.
10. Security
Although we use appropriate measures to help protect your information against unauthorized use or disclosure, we unfortunately cannot absolutely guarantee the security of information provided over the Internet or stored in its databases. Your transmissions are, therefore, at your own risk. You can help us mitigate some of this risk by (i) keeping your account, subaccounts, and passwords secure; (ii) deploying appropriate anti-virus, anti-spyware, and anti-malware programs on the computers and other devices that you and your sub-accountholders may use to access the site; and (iii) never leaving any of your devices unattended without first locking them or shutting them down.
11. Your California Privacy Rights
Beginning January 1, 2005, California law permits customers who are California residents to request once in any calendar year certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. To make such a request, please contact us by e-mail at: support@vennli.com, or write to us at: 105 E. Jefferson, Ste. 500, South Bend, IN 46601.

We strive to keep your Personal Information accurate. You can access and update the Personal Information that you have provided to us at any time. If you wish to update Personal Information provided to us, please access your account where you may view, update or correct your information online.
