How We Collect Personal Information

Passive Collection

We may collect information passively, while you are visiting or interacting with the Sites. We call this “passive” collection since you may not know that this information is being collected when you visit or interact with the Sites. This information may consist of the following items: website visitors’ IP address, IP address-related information, system Media Access Control address, network configuration information, network device information, browser plug-in type and versions, and operating system.

Cookies, Web Beacons, and Similar Technologies. One particular way that we collect information passively is through cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies. Cookies or web beacons serve to improve your experience when visiting the Sites. Cookies are small text files placed on your device that uniquely identify your device and which a website can transfer to a consumer’s hard drive to keep records of his or her visit at a website. Web beacons are small pieces of information that are embedded in images on the pages of websites. We may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to improve your experience on the Sites, such as remembering you when you return to the Sites, track interest in and collect aggregate information on the Sites, and analyze traffic patterns on the Sites. You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser, but if you do, you may not be able to take advantage of personalized features on the Sites. Some of the cookies we use may be more persistent in nature. These persistent cookies may not be deleted when your cookies are deleted. Please check your browser and browser settings to determine where these types of cookies are stored and whether and how they may be deleted. The Network Advertising Initiative also offers a means to opt-out of a number of advertising cookies. Please visit www.networkadvertising.org to learn more. In any event, if you reject our cookies, you may still use the Sites, but you may be limited in some of the features. We may also work with service providers that use cookies and web beacons to collect information about your visits to the Sites and to other websites you may visit, and to serve advertisements to you across the Internet based on that information.
Google Analytics. To help facilitate the delivery of relevant content, we use Google Analytics and have implemented all Google Advertising Features, including Remarketing, Impression Reporting, and Demographics, and Interest Reporting. Google Analytics uses cookies to report on user interactions on our and others' websites. We use the data collected for optimizing marketing, refining advertising and/or programming strategies, and generally making advertising more effective. Google provides a complete privacy policy here: http://www.google.com/intl/en/analytics/privacyoverview.html and instructions on opting out of Google Analytics using a specific plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Note that this opt-out is specific to Google activities and does not affect the activities of other ad networks or analytics providers that we may use.

We may utilize other third party data analytics tools to identify how users engage with the Sites and to provide us with information regarding our users.

Direct Collection

&We also collect information from you directly, at the time that you supply information to us via the Sites. For instance, if you contact us to subscribe to our membership and other products or services, ask questions, or provide us feedback about the Sites or any of our products or services, we may store your communications, including any personal information you include in them, so we can effectively respond to you. If you do not want us to directly collect your personal information, please do not provide it to us.;

Other Sources

We may also collect or receive information from other sources including third-party information providers and third-party platforms, such as social media sites. This information may be used to supplement your profile and it will be combined with other information we collect.;

How We Use the Personal Information We Collect

We use your information primarily as necessary to provide you with our products and services, including in one or more of the following ways:

Customize User Experiences. We may use your personal information to create customized experiences, or to provide you information or services tailored to your interests and preferences.

Product Improvement. If you choose to subscribe to our membership and other products, participate in our online services, or to register for other Nestfully products or services, we will collect the information that you disclose and analyze the data to discover new facts that could help us better understand our products and services. We may use this information for our internal business purposes, such as research to improve our products and analyses that may help us better market our products.

We may also use the information for fraud detection and other maintenance purposes to keep our Sites functioning and secure.
Other Legitimate Business Reasons. We may also use your information for other legitimate business reasons.
Sensitive Personal Information. Where we collect your precise geolocation information, which may be considered sensitive personal information under certain jurisdiction’s laws, we may use that information to provide you with our products or services, to advise you or maintain our records in accordance with applicable law, as well as for advertising or marketing purposes. Depending upon your state of residence, you may have rights relating to your sensitive personal information. Please see “Contacting Us: Questions About Our Privacy and Information Security Practices” for information about how to exercise those rights.

With Whom & Why We Sell or Share Personal Information

We may sell, share, or disclose your personal information to the following categories of entities and for the following reasons:

With third parties, to assist us in operating the Sites, conducting our business, processing payments, providing our services to you, and for our marketing and advertising purposes;
With third party partners, such as associations, brokers, agents, and appraisers;
To third parties, for any corporate reorganization process including, but not limited to, mergers, acquisitions, consolidation, change in control, reorganization or liquidation, and sales of all or substantially all of our assets. Please see the “Assignment” Section below for more details; and

Unless you have exercised your right to opt-out, we may disclose your personal data to third parties who may use such information for their own purposes in accordance with their privacy policies. Under some laws, disclosing data for this type of online advertising may be considered a “sale of personal information” or “sharing for targeted advertising.” For example, we allow certain unaffiliated partners and service providers to place tracking technologies like cookies and pixels to collect information about users directly through our Sites for purposes of analyzing and optimizing our website and ads, providing content more relevant to you, measuring statistics and the success of ad campaigns, and detecting and reporting fraud.

WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE USE BY OTHERS OF THE INFORMATION THAT YOU DISCLOSE IN BLOGS, CHAT ROOMS, FORUMS, AND OTHER PUBLIC POSTING AREAS.

Security of Your Information

We implement security measures we believe are reasonable to protect your information. It is important that you protect and maintain the security of your account credentials and you need to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account. We may use third-party products and services to secure or store your information.

Please understand that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us.
