privacy & security statement

BizRun, LLC (“BizRun”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) has created this Privacy and Security Statement (“Privacy Statement”) in order to demonstrate our commitment to you, our user (“you” or “your”) regarding your privacy with respect to information we may collect from you or you may submit to us by or through the BizRun.com website, ui.BizRun.com website, and/or other websites operated by BizRun (collectively, the “Websites”) or Services (defined below), whether you are a “Visitor” (which means that you simply browse Websites), a “Subscriber” of BizRun (which means you have either registered with BizRun and established an account or otherwise entered into a separate agreement with BizRun, with respect to the Websites and/or Services), or you are an employee, contractor or agent of a business, organization or individual that uses the Services for commercial purposes (a “Business Subscriber”), using the Websites or Services in your capacity as an employee, contractor or agent of that Subscriber (a “Business Subscriber User”). Visitors, Subscribers and Business Subscriber Users are each referred to individually as a “User” and collectively as “Users”.

A Business Subscriber may control certain or all aspects of its Business Subscriber User’s accounts. In order to make this Privacy Statement more readable, we refer to a Business Subscriber as an “Employer” with the understanding that the defined term may not be technically accurate in all cases.
Privacy on the Websites is of great importance to us. Because we gather important information regarding users of the Websites and related services provided by BizRun (the “Services”), we have established this Privacy Statement as a means to communicate our information collection, use and dissemination practices.
Please read this Privacy Statement carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is to not use our Websites or Services. By accessing or using the Websites, you agree to this Privacy Statement. This Privacy Statement may change from time to time (see Notification of Changes below). Your continued use of the Websites after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the Privacy Statement periodically for updates.

Scope of this Privacy Statement

This Privacy Statement describes BizRun’s use of Personal Information and Anonymous Information (each as defined below) collected from your use of, or access to, the Websites and Services, whether you are an individual or a company, as well as information we may use to update the information you provide us through other means. “Personal Information” means contact information (i.e., name, address, email address and/or telephone number), personal characteristics, including photographic image, fingerprints, handwriting or other unique biometric data, date of birth, marital status, pay history, position history, government & non-government identification information, and any other non-public information used or intended to be used to personally identify you. We do not collect or process information regarding political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union memberships, genetic data, health or mortality, sex life or sexual orientation. “Anonymous Information” means information about you, but not used or intended to be used to personally identify you. “Imported Data” means data and other files that exist on third-party websites which you designate for us to copy and store as part of the Services.
BY USING OUR WEBSITES OR SERVICES OR SUBMITTING PERSONAL INFORMATION THROUGH OUR WEBSITES OR SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT AND YOU EXPRESSLY CONSENT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION ACCORDING TO THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT. YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY BE PROCESSED BY US IN THE COUNTRY WHERE IT WAS COLLECTED, AS WELL AS OTHER COUNTRIES (INCLUDING THE UNITED STATES) WHERE LAWS REGARDING PROCESSING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY BE LESS STRINGENT THAN THE LAWS IN YOUR COUNTRY.

Information Collected

Personal Information

In general, the Personal Information we gather enables us to provide the Websites and Services to you. We collect Personal Information that you submit to us voluntarily. When you register with us and create an account, we may ask you to provide certain Personal Information, such as your name, email address and phone number. We may request additional optional information to support your access to the Websites or Services. When you communicate with us by sending us an email, we may collect and store any information that is contained in your communications with us. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but this may limit the features of the Websites or Services you are able to use. Please note that if you are a Business Subscriber User, we may receive Personal Information about you from your Employer. If you are a Subscriber that has purchased the Services through one of our resellers, we may receive from them Personal Information they have collected.

Billing Information

We use a third-party payment processing service to process subscriptions and to charge and collect subscription fees, which may include the collection of certain information, including credit card numbers and associated billing information. This billing information is collected, retained and processed pursuant to, and is governed by, the policies and procedures of our third-party payment processing service.

Imported Data

The contents of Imported Data can include both Personal Information and Anonymous Information such as email addresses, home addresses, telephone numbers and other content communicated over email or inside contact fields. We collect Imported Data that you have requested for us to collect from authorized third-party websites. If you are a Business Subscriber User your Employer may have designated the Imported Data or authorized our Services on your behalf. We will associate your Imported Data with your Personal Information or your Anonymous Information, as applicable.

Anonymous Information

As you use the Websites or Services, certain Anonymous Information may be passively collected and stored on our/our service providers’ server logs, such as your Internet protocol address, domain names, browser type, location and access times, as well as information about your computer and internet connection, including your IP address, operating system, and browser type. We may use Cookies (defined below) or web bugs and navigational data like Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) to gather information regarding the date and time of your visit.

The information we collect automatically is statistical data and does not include Personal Information, but we may maintain it or associate it with Personal Information we collect in other ways or receive from third parties. It helps us to improve the Websites and to deliver a better and more personalized service, including by enabling us to:

  • Estimate our audience size and usage patterns.

  • Speed up your searches.
  • Recognize you when you return to the Websites.
The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include:

Standing alone, Cookies do not personally identify you but merely recognize your web browser. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your browser until you delete them) to improve your experience on the Websites (e.g., by keeping you logged in). Persistent Cookies can be removed by following your Internet browser help file instructions. You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser.

Pages of the Websites and our e-mails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit the Company, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).
Some content or applications, including advertisements, on the Websites are served by third-parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, content providers, and application providers. These third parties may use cookies alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use our website. The information they collect may be associated with your Personal Information or they may collect information, including Personal Information, about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services.

We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly. The use of cookies by our partners, affiliates, tracking utility company and service providers is not covered by our Privacy Statement. We do not have access or control over these cookies.

If you provide feedback to us, we may use and disclose such feedback in accordance with our Terms of Service, provided we do not associate such feedback with your Personal Information. We will collect any information contained in such feedback and will treat the Personal Information in it in accordance with this Privacy Statement.

Third-Party Websites

The Websites may contain links to other websites. BizRun is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those other websites. This Privacy Statement applies solely to information collected by us through the Websites or Services and does not apply to third-party websites. We encourage our Users to read the privacy statements of each and every website they visit. Users should always use caution and common sense when choosing to provide Personal Information on the Internet, particularly information related to credit cards and other forms of payment. The ability to access information of third parties from the Websites or Services is for your convenience and does not signify our endorsement of such third parties, their services, other websites, locations or their contents.

Single Sign-On

You can log into the Websites using an OpenID Connect (http://openid.net/connect/) provider such as Google Sign-In (https://developers.google.com/identity/). These services will authenticate your identity and provide you with the option to share certain personal information with us, such as your name and email address, to pre-populate our sign-up form. Other third-party authentication services, such as Facebook Login (https://developers.facebook.com/products/login), may give you the option to post information about your activities at the Websites to your third-party service profile pages, to share with others in your third-party service networks.

Social Media Features and Widgets

The Websites may include social media features, such as the Facebook Like button (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-button), ShareThis buttons bar (https://developer.sharethis.com/Web_Share_API) or interactive mini-programs.

Social media features and widgets are hosted either by a third party or the Websites directly. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy statements of the companies providing them.

Regarding Children

The Websites are not directed at children and children are not eligible to use our Services. Protecting the privacy of children is very important to us. We do not collect or maintain Personal Information from people who we actually know to be less than thirteen (13) years old, and no part of the Websites or Services is designed to attract people less than thirteen (13) years old. If we later obtain actual knowledge that a User is less than thirteen (13) years old, we will take steps immediately to remove that User’s Personal Information from our databases.

Data Security

We have put into place reasonable security measures designed to help protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of your Personal Information when our Websites are accessed using modern versions of Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari. Secure Sockets Layer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security) technology protects information using both server authentication and data encryption. BizRun also implements an advanced security method based on dynamic data and encoded session identifications. We also host the Websites in a secure server environment that uses a firewall and other advanced technology to help prevent interference or access from outside intruders. These safeguards help prevent unauthorized access, as well as maintain data accuracy and appropriate use of Personal Information.

We do not control third parties’ collection or use of your information to serve interest-based advertising. However, these third parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your information collected or used in this way. You can opt out of receiving targeted ads from members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) on the NAI’s website.

When we delete Personal Information or backed-up data, it will be deleted from the active database but may remain in our archives.
We will retain your information for as long as your account is active and needed to provide you with our Services. If you wish either to cancel your account or request that we no longer use your information to provide you with Services, contact us at Support@BizRun.com.
