Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy outlines the collection, utilization, and sharing of your personal information when you browse sincityhideaway.com.

A. GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Scope. This Privacy Policy is applicable to all websites, applications, and services where it is published or referenced. Certain services provided to you may be subject to additional terms and conditions, which can be found where the respective service is offered. Please note that this Privacy Policy does not extend to information collected from you or about you through other means, such as emails you send to us.

Updates to the Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time, with or without prior notice. Should there be significant alterations in how we handle your personally identifiable information or in the terms and conditions of the Privacy Policy, we will provide a notice on the service or send you an email, allowing you to review the revised terms before continuing to use the service. If you disagree with any changes to the Privacy Policy and no longer wish to utilize the service, you have the option to close your account. Your continued use of the services after receiving notice of changes, either via email or publication on our service, implies your consent to the revised terms or practices.

Age Requirement. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from individuals under the age of 18. If you are under 18 years of age, you are not permitted to use our services. Additionally, you must meet the age requirements to legally consent to the processing of your personal data in your respective country.

Acknowledgment of Terms. By utilizing our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy, and you consent to our privacy practices outlined herein, including our utilization and disclosure of personal information for the purposes delineated below. Moreover, your consent is affirmed by either registering as a user or submitting content or materials through our services.

B. INFORMATION WE COLLECT THROUGH OUR SERVICES

We gather two categories of information from you and other visitors to our services: (1) “personally identifiable information” (as elaborated below) and (2) non-personally identifiable information (as elaborated below).

“Personally identifiable information” refers to information that can directly identify you, such as your name, address, telephone number, email address, or company name. Below are examples of how we may collect and store your personally identifiable information through our services:

• If you choose to sign up for an online newsletter, we may collect your email address, first and last name, and zip code as part of the registration process.
• If you contact us with a question, we may collect your email address in order to respond to your inquiry.
• If you decide to participate in a contest or sweepstakes, we may collect your first and last name, date of birth, and email address as part of the entry process.

“Non-personally identifiable information” encompasses technical or demographic data, such as age, gender, or interests, that does not directly identify you. If you provide us with non-personally identifiable information, we may utilize it for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or for any other lawful purpose, as described at the point of collection.

Below are several instances demonstrating how we might gather and retain your non-personally identifiable information via our services, as well as the ways we utilize such data:

• Internet Protocol (IP) Address: An “IP address” is a numerical label assigned to devices connected to a computer network, allowing them to communicate with each other. It indicates where to send data to and from on the Internet, including the screens and pages of our services that you access. We utilize this data to deliver requested screens and pages, customize our services based on your interests and those of other visitors, and assess traffic to and within our services.
• Cookie: A “cookie” refers to a tiny text file that may be employed to gather data about your activities on our services. For instance, when you visit a screen or page on our services, a cookie is potentially stored on your device (provided you or your browser accept the cookie). Subsequently, this cookie may be accessed by screens or pages on our services. You have the option to configure your browser to alert you or to decline and block cookies; however, doing so may restrict your access to certain areas or personalized features of our services.
• Web Beacon: A “web beacon,” also known as a “clear gif,” “web bug,” or “pixel tag,” is a minuscule graphic file containing a unique identifier. Functionally similar to a cookie, it enables us to track the number of users who have visited specific pages or screens of our services and aids in assessing the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns. When utilized in HTML-formatted email messages, web beacons can inform the sender whether and when the email has been opened. Unlike cookies, which may be stored on your computer’s hard drive, web beacons are typically embedded invisibly within pages or screens.
• Demographic Information: “Demographic information” encompasses data such as your gender, age, zip code, and interests. We may gather such information through our services and utilize it to offer personalized services and analyze trends to ensure that our services and the information they contain are tailored to meet your requirements. It’s important to note that we classify aggregated information, which cannot be used to identify individuals, as non-personally identifiable information.

Should you encounter a screen or page soliciting information you’re hesitant to share, refrain from entering the information and avoid advancing further on that screen or page. Your discretion is respected, and you are not obliged to provide any information that you’re unwilling to disclose.

C. USE OF INFORMATION COLLECTED THROUGH OUR SERVICES

If you furnish us with personally identifiable information, we will exclusively utilize it for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or at the point of collection. Specifically, we employ such information on our services for the following purposes:

• Assist us in curating and publishing content that is most pertinent to your interests;
• Grant you access to specific sections of our services;
• Provide services, such as information, newsletters, or software, that you have requested or acquired;
• Notify you of special offers, updated information, and new services, either from us or third parties;
• Send promotional materials and fulfill the terms of promotional offers;
• Tailor our services to align with your preferences and requirements;
• Recognize you as a contributor or provider of content;
• Respond to your inquiries submitted through forms such as “Contact Us” or “Order Inquiry”.

Non-personally identifiable information may be utilized for the purposes delineated in this Privacy Policy, at the point of collection, or for any other lawful purpose. This includes, where applicable, combining non-personally identifiable information with personally identifiable information.

D. SHARING AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION COLLECTED THROUGH OUR SERVICES

When it comes to personally identifiable information, we may primarily share or disclose it in the following circumstances:

To fulfill a service for you, such as downloading an application, we may share your personally identifiable information to ensure the delivery of the application. Similarly, if you participate in a sweepstakes or contest, we may utilize your personally identifiable information to satisfy the terms of that promotion, including prize distribution, and collaborate with mail carriers accordingly. Additionally, we may share your information with co-sponsors of such promotions.

To provide you with offerings from our affiliates, strategic partners, agents, or third-party marketers, as well as other unaffiliated parties that we deem relevant to your interests, we may contact you with offers or advertisements related to products or services.

We may disclose your personally identifiable information to unaffiliated third-party service providers, agents, or independent contractors who assist us in maintaining our services and providing other administrative support. We strive to ensure that these unaffiliated third parties do not utilize your personally identifiable information for any purpose other than their designated responsibilities. However, we cannot guarantee that they will refrain from using it for other purposes.

We may disclose your personally identifiable information to comply with the law, or if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to comply with legal requirements or respond to legal processes served on us. Furthermore, we may disclose your information to protect and defend our rights, property, and services, or to act in urgent circumstances to safeguard the personal safety of you and our other visitors.

We may disclose your personally identifiable information to third parties as part of a corporate reorganization process, which may include mergers, acquisitions, or sales of all or substantially all of our assets.

We monitor and analyze non-identifying, aggregated usage, and volume statistical data from our visitors and customers. This information may be shared with third parties.

To safeguard against fraud and potential fraudulent activities, we reserve the right to verify the information provided by you on our services through third-party sources. During this verification process, we may obtain additional personally identifiable information about you from these services.

Non-personally identifiable information may be shared and disclosed for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, at the point of collection, or for any other legal purpose. This includes, where appropriate, the sharing and disclosure of non-personally identifiable information combined with personally identifiable information.

E. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER OF INFORMATION

We reserve the right to transfer the information we gather about you, including personally identifiable information, to subsidiary and affiliated entities, or to third parties across borders, from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions worldwide. Any such transfers will adhere to applicable laws.

F. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND ADVERTISERS

Our services may include links to third-party services. Although we strive to collaborate with third parties that uphold our commitment to user privacy, we cannot be held responsible for the services or privacy practices of such third parties. Additionally, we may engage third-party advertisers, ad networks, and other marketing and promotional companies to serve advertisements on our services. These third parties may collect information about your visits to our services or other websites, track your access to or market products or services to you, monitor the ads you view, click on, or interact with, including when they were delivered, and the screens and pages they are displayed on.

We do not support these entities, their content, or any products and services they provide. It is your responsibility to be aware when you are exiting our service to visit a third-party platform and to thoroughly read and comprehend the terms of use and privacy policies for each respective third party.

G. PROTECTION OF INFORMATION

Data transmissions over the Internet are inherently not entirely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or others over the Internet. You do so at your own risk.

Upon receipt of your transmission, we take reasonable measures to safeguard the security of our systems. We employ firewalls to shield your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Nonetheless, it is important to note that this does not provide an absolute guarantee against potential breaches resulting in unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of such information, despite the presence of firewalls or secure server software.

If we become aware of a breach in our security system or processes, we may endeavor to notify you electronically to enable you to take necessary protective measures. By utilizing our services or providing personally identifiable information to us through them, you consent to our electronic communication with you concerning security, privacy, and administrative matters related to your use of our services. In the event of a breach, we may issue a notice on our services or send you an email to the email address you have provided.

You can further assist us in safeguarding your information by:

1. Utilizing secure web browsers exclusively.
2. Employing reputable anti-virus and anti-malware tools on your system to maintain its security.
