We at General Referral, LLC (referred to as "GR," "We," "Us," or "Our") recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of certain information collected about the users and visitors of Our Web Site (referred to as "User," "You" or "Your"). This Privacy Policy discloses what information We gather, how We use it, and how to correct or change it. At General Referral, it is Our intention to give You an understanding about how We collect Your information and the use We make of it in the course of Our business.
To that end, GR gathers two types of information about You: 1) data that Users provide through optional, voluntary registration on Our Web Site, and 2) data that GR gathers through aggregated tracking, mainly by tallying Web pages that are viewed by Users throughout Our Web Site.
GR will not disclose Personal Information (as defined herein) to third parties without Your consent, except as may be noted in this Privacy Policy or disclosed to You when the information is submitted.
How Does GR Collect Information?
Optional Registration
We collect information by specifically requesting it from You. Generally this occurs when You register at the Web Site or request information or a service. Usually, We and Our business partners use Your information to operate the Web Site and to deliver services. GR also uses Your information to inform You about other products and/or services available from GR and GR-affiliates.
Use of Tracking
An IP address is a unique number that is automatically assigned to Your computer whenever You are surfing the Internet so that Your computer can be identified by the main computers, known as "Web servers," that "serve up" Web pages. GR collects IP addresses for the purposes of: helping Us diagnose problems with Our main computers, for system administration, to report aggregated information to Our business partners, and to audit the use of Our Web Site.
We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a User's session will be logged, but the User will remain anonymous to Us. We can, and will, use IP addresses to identify You when We feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with Our Web Site Terms of Use or to protect Our service, site, Users, or others.
Use of Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of information that a Web site sends to Your computer for record-keeping purposes, which information is stored in a file on Your computer's hard drive. Cookies make Web-surfing easier for You by saving Your preferences so that We can use the saved information to facilitate Your use of Our Web Site when You return. Cookies do not tell Us Your individual identity unless You have chosen to provide it to Us. We never save passwords or credit card information in cookies.
Most cookies expire after a defined period of time, or You can delete Your cookie file at any time. Most Web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset Your Web browser to refuse cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of GR services will not function properly or may be considerably slower if You refuse cookies.
With Whom Does GR Share Information?
As a general rule, GR will not disclose any specific personal information that You submit to Us about You ("Personal Information") in a manner that connects You with the Personal Information, except when We have Your permission or under special circumstances, such as when We believe in good faith that the law requires it.
Business Partners & Sponsors
GR may disclose some or all of Your Personal Information to business partners or sponsors, but this use will be specifically described to You prior to data collection or prior to transferring the data. By requesting more information, You give GR permission to transfer Your Personal Information to the sponsor so they can fulfill Your request.
Third Party & Aggregate Data
GR may keep track of what portions of the Web Site Users are visiting and other User statistics, and aggregate this information to help Us create a better experience for Users of Our Web Site. This is all done without knowing Your name or other Personal Information.
SMS
All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
How Can You Control The Usage Of Information?
In case You change Your mind or some Personal Information changes (such as Your zip code or e-mail address), We will try to provide a way to correct, update or remove the Personal Information that You give us. We also give You the opportunity to control the communications We direct to You. If a User wishes to update Personal Information or objects to any usage, he/she may e-mail the requested change to: support@generalreferral.com.
What Happens When You Link To A Third Party Site?
You should be aware that when You are on GR's Web site You can hyperlink, or be directed to, other Web sites that are beyond Our control and/or outside Our service. These other Web sites may send their own cookies to Users, collect data, or solicit Information. GR does not control such Web sites, and, therefore, are not responsible for their contents or the hyperlinks or advertising they choose to place on such Web sites.
Is Information Secure From Others Using The GR Web Site?
The security of all information associated with Our Users is an important concern to Us. We exercise care in providing secure transmission of Your information from Your computer to Our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while We strive to protect Your information, GR can't ensure or warrant the security of any information You transmit to Us, and You do so at Your own risk. Once We receive Your transmission, GR uses industry standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of Your information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers (SSL).
