HOW THIS PRIVACY POLICY APPLIES

This Privacy Policy applies to the Services offered by Incunabulum LLC.

Our agreements with certain customers may contain provisions about the processing of personal information collected through the Services. If a provision of one of these customer agreements conflicts or otherwise is inconsistent with a provision of this Privacy Policy, then the provision of the customer agreement will prevail but solely to the extent of the conflict or inconsistency. If you have a question about whether your personal information is covered by a customer agreement, please contact us.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to any personal information that you provide to these other websites and services.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

The Effective Date at the top of this page indicates when this Privacy Policy was last revised. Unless applicable law prevents or a revision is needed to protect the privacy or security of our Users, we will notify you about any material change that reduces your privacy right in advance so that you have time to review the changes before they are effective. The previous version of this Privacy Policy shall apply before the Effective Date. Your use of the Services after the Effective Date means that you accept the Privacy Policy as revised.

With our Suppliers

Our Suppliers help us to operate and improve the Services. Our Suppliers support technical processing operations, such as data hosting and maintenance, virtual event hosting, analytics, customer care, securing our data and systems, marketing, and detecting and preventing spam and intellectual property infringement.

With order fulfillment vendors

For the convenience of our Users, we may provide the opportunity to purchase certain goods and services through the Services. We partner with order fulfillment vendors for payment processing and order fulfillment. These vendors will request information from you and process it according to their own privacy policy and other terms. Some of the vendors also may share your information with us. We are not responsible for the processing of your personal information or the fulfillment of your order when a vendor’s own privacy policy and terms apply.

With advertising technology providers

Third-party advertising technology providers (some of which are Suppliers) help us to serve and track digital advertisements through the Services and on third-party digital services. Advertising technology providers use cookies and other data collection tools to collect information about your interaction with the Services and digital advertisements and combine this information from other sources in order to deliver digital advertisements about goods and services that are targeted to your interests (as inferred from your online activity).

For corporate transactions

We may transfer your personal information if we are involved, whether in whole or in part, in a merger, sale, acquisition, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, bankruptcy or other change of ownership or control.

When required by law

Applicable law may require Incunabulum and Suppliers to disclose your personal information when we believe necessary to (i) comply with a legal process, such as a court order, subpoena or search warrant, government investigation or other legal requirement, (ii) help prevent or detect crime and (iii) respond to lawful requests from law enforcement and government regulators.

To enforce legal rights

We also share information: (i) if we believe that disclosure would mitigate our liability in an actual or threatened lawsuit; (ii) as necessary to protect our legal rights and legal rights of our Users or other interested parties; (iii) to enforce our agreements with you; and (iv) to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing.

With your consent or at your request

We may ask for your consent to share your personal information with third parties. When we do, we will make clear why we want to share the personal information.

We use cookies and other data tracking technology to collect and use personal information about you. We also may allow others to use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., pixels) to recognize you and/or your device(s) when you use the Websites.

With your consent or at your request

We may ask for your consent to share your personal information with third parties. When we do, we will make clear why we want to share the personal information.

OUR USE OF COOKIES AND TRACKING TOOLS

We use cookies and other data tracking technology to collect and use personal information about you. We also may allow others to use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., pixels) to recognize you and/or your device(s) when you use our hosted Websites.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are sent to or accessed from your web browser or your computer’s hard drive. A cookie typically contains the name of the domain (internet location) from which the cookie originated, the lifetime of the cookie (i.e., when it expires), and a randomly generated unique number or similar identifier. A cookie also may contain information about your computers, such as User settings, browsing history, and activities conducted while using these websites and certain Services.

Incunabulum also uses “pixels” (also known as web beacons). Pixels are transparent images that are used in collecting information about website usage across websites and over time.

Cookies that Incunabulum sets on the Websites are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by any other party are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable third party features or functionality on or through the Websites, such as analytics, marketing automation, and customer support. The parties that set third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the Websites and also when it visits certain other websites.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically but allow you to disable them. You also can opt-out of certain cookies using this link. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Some features of the Websites may not work properly without cookies. To learn more about cookies generally, visit www.allaboutcookies.org and http://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN .

Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome) incorporate a “Do Not Track” (” DNT”) or similar feature that signals to websites that a User does not want to have online activity and behavior tracked. If a website that responds to a particular DNT signal receives the DNT signal, the browser can block that website from collecting certain information about the browser’s User. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, many website operators, including Incunabulum, do not respond to DNT signals.

Why do we use cookies and other tracking technology?

Some cookies are required for the Websites to operate. Other cookies enable us to track the interests of Users, enhance the experience of the Websites, and target advertising.

The types of cookies used on the Websites and why they are used is as follows:

  • “Strictly necessary” cookies are required to allow us to deliver the Websites to you.
  • “Performance” or “Analytics” cookies help us to collect information about how Users interact with the Websites and help us analyze and improve the Websites. The performance or analytics cookies remain on your computer after you close your browser until you delete them.
  • “Advertising” cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They help to display advertisements that are based on your inferred interests, prevent the same ad from appearing too often and ensure that ads are properly displayed.

Pixels and similar data collection technology enable Incunabulum to monitor the traffic patterns of visitors from one page of the Website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you visit the Websites after seeing our online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve performance of the Websites and to measure the success of our email marketing campaigns.

Incunabulum serves targeted advertisements on the Websites and may use information about your visits to the Websites to provide relevant advertisements on other websites about goods and services that may interest you. Incunabulum and its providers also may deploy technology that monitors the effectiveness of advertisements by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to the Websites and other websites to provide relevant advertisements on other websites about goods and services that may interest you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or the third parties to identify your name, contact details, or similar directly-identifying details unless you choose to provide them.

HOW WE PROTECT AND RETAIN INFORMATION

We use physical, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, theft, and loss. We restrict access to your personal information to those employees who need access to service your account or perform their job functions. We have procedures to manage personal data breaches and will notify you and any applicable regulator when we are required to do so.

Although we take precautions intended to help protect the personal information that we process, no system or electronic data transmission is completely secure. Any transmission of your personal information is at your own risk and we expect that you will use appropriate security measures to protect your personal information.

We may suspend your use of all or part of the Services without notice if we suspect or detect any breach of security. You understand and agree that we may deliver electronic notifications about breaches of security to the email address that you provided to us.

If you create an account, you are responsible for maintaining the security of and the information in your account.

If you believe that your account or personal information is no longer secure, please notify us immediately.

We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and as outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

The criteria used to determine our personal information retention periods include:

  • The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide Services to you (for example, for as long as you have an account with us or keep using the Websites);
  • Whether we have a legal obligation to retain the personal information (for example, certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them);
  • Whether retention is advisable considering our legal position (such as for statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations).

  • Whether retention is advisable considering our legal position (such as for statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations).

CROSS BORDER DATA TRANSFERS

Sharing of personal information sometimes involves transfers to or from the United States of America and other jurisdictions. For example, certain Services are available to Users in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and we transfer personal information to the United States for processing. We use the EU-US standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission to validate transfers of personal information from the EEA to other countries. (Standard contractual clauses are commitments between companies transferring personal information of EEA residents to protect the privacy and security of the transferred personal information.)

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Incunabulum respects the privacy of your child and we want to share with you our policies regarding children under the age of eighteen (18). Although Users of all ages may navigate through the Services, we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under age eighteen (18). If we learn that a child under age eighteen (18) has improperly provided us with information, we will notify the child’s parent or legal guardian and thereafter delete the child’s personal information from our records.
