USE OF COOKIES

Sempris uses “cookies” to help create a better and, for our Customers, a more personalized experience and to improve your experience, such as by helping our Sites “remember” you for an easier log-in experience. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer. Your browser and other security applications can be set to prompt you when a website is setting a cookie or to reject all cookies. If you delete or reject all cookies, some Site sections and applications may not function properly or at all.

Please note that Sempris allows third-party analytics providers and advertisers that are presenting advertisements on some of our pages to set and access their cookies on your computer. Analytics providers’ and advertisers’ use of cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not the Sempris Privacy Policy.

DIGITAL ANALYTICS AND INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING

We use Google Analytics to improve the performance of the Sites and for analytics and marketing purposes. For more information about how Google Analytics collects and uses data when you use the Sites, visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners, and to opt out of Google Analytics, visit tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

We use other third-party service providers in order to better understand our Customers’ needs and to optimize our services. These service providers may use cookies and other technologies to collect data on our Customers’ activities and their devices. This includes a device’s IP address (processed during your session and stored in a de-identified form), device screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), browser information, geographic location (country only), and the preferred language used to display our website. These service providers may also store this information on Sempris’ behalf in a pseudonymized user profile.

Rakuten Marketing may also collect personal information when you interact with our Sites, including IP addresses, digital identifiers, information about your web browsing and app usage and how you interact with our properties and ads for a variety of purpose, such as personalization of offers or advertisements, analytics about how you engage with websites or ads, and other commercial purposes.

We may partner with Rakuten Marketing and other third-party ad networks and other ad service providers (collectively “Advertising Providers”) to serve ads on our behalf on non-affiliated third party sites. Some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to you based on information we or the Advertising Providers collect about your online activities here and elsewhere over time, including information about relationships among different browsers and devices. For example, information collected across multiple sites that you visit over time may enable the Advertising Provider to infer your preferences and show you ads that are more likely to be of interest to you. This type of advertising is known as interest-based advertising.

ADCHOICES

Sempris adheres to the Digital Advertising Alliance Self-Regulatory Principles in connection with this interest-based advertising activity. You may visit the DAA Webchoices tool at www.aboutads.info to learn more about this type of interest-based advertising and how to opt out of this advertising on websites by companies participating in the DAA self-regulatory program. If you delete your cookies or use a different browser or mobile device, you may need to renew your opt-out choices exercised through the DAA Webchoices tool. Note that electing to opt out will not stop advertising from appearing in your browser or applications. It may make the ads you see less relevant to your interests.

In addition, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) for information about how to opt-out of interest-based advertising by NAI customers. See http://www.networkadvertising.org for general information about the NAI and http://optout.networkadvertising.org for the opt-out page.

SECURITY

We use appropriate security measures designed to protect the information that we collect and process about you. Please note, however, that we cannot guarantee the security of information. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of user information at any time.

CONTROL OF YOUR PASSWORD

Site and Customer user accounts are secured by usernames and passwords. You are responsible for all actions taken with your login information and password. Therefore, you should not disclose your Sempris password or login information to any third parties. If you choose to share this information with third parties, you are responsible for all actions taken with your login information and password and therefore should review each third party’s privacy policy. If your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately change your password.

THIRD PARTY TOOLS AND LINKS

The Sites may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices on other websites. When linking to another website we encourage our users to read the privacy policy stated on each and every website. This Privacy Policy only governs information collected on our Sites.

The Sites may also include integrated social media tools or “plug-ins,” such as social networking tools offered by third parties. If you use these tools to share data or you otherwise interact with these features on the Sites, those companies may collect data about you and may use and share such information in accordance with your account settings, including by sharing such data with the general public.

Your interactions with third-party companies and your use of their linked websites or integrated tools are governed by the privacy policies of the companies that provide those features. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policies of any accounts you create and use.

STATE PRIVACY RIGHTS

California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Nevada, and Utah Customers and other consumers have certain rights under state privacy laws with respect to personal data subject to those laws. For our business contacts, only California residents have these rights for personal data that we have collected. This section contains disclosures required by state privacy laws and applies only to “personal information” or “personal data” that is subject to such laws. Consumers with disabilities may access this notice by calling 800.475.1942 and one of our privacy experts will assist you with your request.

Personal Information We Collect, Disclose for a Business Purpose, and Sell. We collected, disclosed for business purposes, and sold categories of personal information in the past 12 months as described in the chart available here, which contains certain information required under California law. Our purposes for collecting, using, and sharing personal information are also described in the chart.

Your Rights Regarding Personal Information. You may have certain rights with respect to the personal information collected by Sempris. You may be able to exercise the following rights regarding personal information, subject to certain exceptions and limitations and depending on your state:

• The right to confirm whether we are processing personal data about you
• The right to correct inaccuracies in the personal data we have collected about you
• The right to know the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell about you, the categories of sources from which we collected your personal information, our purposes for collecting or selling your personal information, the categories of your personal information that we have either sold or disclosed for a business purpose, and the categories of third parties with which we have shared personal information
• The right to request that we delete the personal information we have collected from you or maintain about you
• The right to opt out of (i) the sharing of personal data for targeted advertising and (ii) the sale of personal data. Please note that if you opt out of certain practices, we may be unable to provide you with some services
• Depending on your state, the right to limit our processing of certain “sensitive” personal data (or to withdraw consent for such processing if you previously gave it)
• The right not to receive discriminatory treatment for the exercise of the privacy rights conferred by state law

The exercise of the above rights are subject to certain exceptions and limitations as permitted by law. For example, we may not delete certain personal information we collected from you if retaining the information is necessary for us to provide you with services or products that you have already purchased, to use the information in ways that are reasonably anticipated in the context of those transactions (e.g., to be able to answer questions about those transactions if you call our customer service line), or to comply with any applicable legal obligations.

To exercise any of the above rights, please contact us using the following information and submit the required verifying information, as further described below:

• By phone at: 800.475.1942
• By email at: privacy@sempris.com

Verification Process and Required Information. For your protection, we may need to request additional information from you to verify your identity or understand the scope of your request, although you will not be required to create an account with us to submit a request or have it fulfilled. We may, depending on your specific request, require you to provide, at a minimum, two data elements which we will use to verify your identity.

Authorized Agent. You may be able to designate an authorized agent to make a rights request on your behalf. In order to make the request, your authorized agent must visit the individual rights request page and follow the instructions as outlined on that webform.

Minors’ Right to Opt In. We do not knowingly sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.

Notice of Financial Incentive. In exchange for becoming a Customer of one or more of the Sites, we provide you with opportunities to receive benefits that may include, by way of example and depending on the Site, discounts on products and services, rewards, and rebates in exchange for purchasing a subscription and providing your contact information; providing information about your purchases; participating in promotions, contests or sweepstakes; and/or responding to surveys. Under certain state laws, because we offer you price or service differences related to the collection and sharing of personal information, subscription in a Sempris program is considered a “financial incentive.”You opt into these financial incentives by becoming a Customer. In connection with becoming a Customer, we collect and share personal information about you as described in this Privacy Policy. The terms associated with each Site if you join as a Customer are available in the Subscription Terms, and the benefits associated with subscription are listed within your Customer welcome materials or within the Site. You may opt into additional financial incentives by participating in certain promotions, contests, and sweepstakes and/or by completing surveys. The terms associated with a given promotion, contest, sweepstakes, or survey are provided alongside the opportunity to participate in that promotion, contest, sweepstakes, or survey.

The amount of benefit you receive for becoming a Customer, providing information about your purchases, participating in contests or sweepstakes, and/or completing a survey is based on the reasonable determination of the value that we and our business partners receive from processing personal information. This estimated value takes into account a variety of factors as permitted by law, including (but not limited to) the expenses incurred in collecting and retaining the information, the expenses in administering the financial incentive programs, the expenses incurred in providing benefits to you, and the estimated marginal revenue derived from the information we and our partners obtain and use.

You can withdraw from these financial incentives at any time by visiting www.programstop.com or calling 800.475.1942.

CHANGES IN OUR PRIVACY POLICY
