Who we are
Our website address is: https://italme.com.
I. Personally-Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information.
italMe, LLC. (also referred to herein as “italMe”) may collect two different types of information, Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) and Non-Personally Identifiable Information (“Non-PII”). PII that we collect is information that identifies you as an individual – and includes your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card information, billing address and shipping information. Non-PII is aggregated information, demographic information, IP addresses, user behavior data from web interaction metrics tools and other information that does not reveal your specific identity. PII and Non-PII may be collected anytime you access or use an italMe website. PII and Non-PII may also be collected by italMe during in-person discussions, telephone conversations, and electronic or other written communications. italMe also collects information via cookies; blocking cookies may render you unable to access certain italMe products, services, or websites.
italMe uses PII to respond to your inquiries, provide you with services you have requested, keep you informed of services italMe thinks may be of interest to you, and otherwise personalize your experience with italMe, and other reasons. italMe does not sell or lease PII about you to others, and may in some cases be liable for so doing under the Privacy Shield Framework outlined below. italMe will provide your e-mail address to affiliates or users who refer you to us, or through whom you create a italMe account. italMe shares your PII with italMe affiliates and third parties contracting with italMe to provide services to you, including financial institutions, API integrators you have chosen, and other third party software services that you have chosen to assist you with your business with italMe. italMe employees who design our databases and software, and those employees who provide you with customer service, along with our customer service software partners, also have access to PII as part of their job in providing services to You. italMe may also share PII when required by law, or when you have expressly requested italMe to do so. italMe reserves the right to disclose and use your PII if italMe believes it is necessary to: (a) respond to legal process, e.g., a subpoena; (b) respond to a law enforcement agency’s request; (c) enforce the Terms; or (d) protect the rights, privacy, safety, property, or operations of italMe or third parties;
Because Non-PII does not personally identify You, italMe reserves the right to use and disclose to third parties Non-PII for any purpose.
italMe maintains reasonable physical, administrative and technical safeguards to protect PII from loss, misuse, or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. italMe enforces its Privacy Policy via self-assessment.
italMe reserves the right to change this privacy notice, which changes will become effective upon posting of the revised notice on https://italme.com/privacy-policy,or upon emailing of the changes to You at the email address You provided to italMe, or as required by law.
