Your California
Privacy Rights
As a California Consumer, you are entitled to know what personal information we may share with third parties for marketing purposes.
You may review our Privacy Policy below or you may request this information by writing to us at
Consumer Affairs,
2850 W. Golf Road, Rolling Meadows, IL 60008.
The membership program understands how important privacy is to our members. We have created this online Privacy and Security Policy
to demonstrate our commitment to protecting your privacy and providing you with a secure and enjoyable member experience.
Our mission is to adhere to policies that prevent unauthorized use of your personal information; to maintain the accuracy of the information provided;
and to protect the privacy of your information through the use of secure servers and encryption devices. The intent of this statement is to answer
your questions about our online Privacy and Security Policy.
What information is collected?
Generally, we gather two types of information. The first type of information is the personally identifiable information
("Personal Information") that you expressly provide when you enroll(ed) in the membership program. This information includes your name,
mailing address, e-mail address, or some other unique personal identifier that we can use to confirm sales and billing information
(e.g. city of birth or mother's maiden name). Occasionally, we may request other information from you that may be used by our membership
services department to confirm enrollment, update your account or confirm your order. From time to time, we may offer you optional surveys
that may ask you for your opinions or demographic data (e.g. gender) so that we can improve our program.
The second type of information is technical and statistical information that is collected automatically whenever you visit our Web site.
This type of information may include things such as your IP address, operating system, type of browser and Web site activity.
We collect this data to help us improve the quality of our Web site and make your visits to the site easy, convenient and meaningful.
We do not link aggregate user data with personally identifiable information.
Who is collecting the information?
The membership program was marketed and distributed by FYI Direct LLC, marketing solutions companies.
The information collected on the site is owned by FYI Direct LLC and/or its marketing partners depending
on who offered you membership in the program. Note, this is the privacy policy of both FYI Direct and other
policies of affiliates, marketing partners or other third parties may apply.
How do you use the information collected?
We use the Personal Information you provide
to service your membership. For example, we request your mailing address so
we know where to send the merchandise certificates, gift cards and other
benefits that you may purchase, and any other information you may request. We
also may send you additional membership information such as updates about our
program and special offers. We use your credit card information to bill you
for the membership fee and any benefits you may purchase. We use your e-mail
address to notify you of program updates, special offers and promotions. If
you prefer not to receive e -mail notifications from us, simply visit our
Contact Us page, select "Unsubscribe to future marketing" from the
drop-down menu, and e-mail us your request. Be sure to include your name and
membership ID number as well as the e-mail address to remove from our list.
The Personal
Information that is collected may also be shared with other groups within the
FYI Direct organizations, and with FYI Direct’s affiliates and /or marketing partners, to bring you
additional information and special savings offers.
The technical and
statistical information that is automatically collected from your computer
whenever you visit the program Web site is used to help us improve the
site and the member experience. From time to time we may disclose general
statistical information about our Web site and its visitors such as the
number of visitors, the number and type of products purchased, etc.
Do you share Personal Information with third parties?
The membership
program may share Personal Information with third parties whom we employ
to perform functions on our behalf. For example, the membership program uses
a third party to verify and process your credit card information in order to
charge you for requested benefits or services. All third parties are
contractually obligated to use your Personal Information only for the purpose
for which it is given. We are not responsible for the information practices
of third parties. The collection, use and disclosure of information by third
parties are subject to their respective privacy policies, which may differ
from our policy.
From time to time,
we may also share Personal Information with our affiliates and/or marketing
partners who offer products and services that we think will be of interest to
you. If you prefer not to have your Personal Information shared with our
affiliates and/or marketing partners, please indicate what offers you are not
interested in receiving on the E- mail Preferences page, if available, or by
sending us an e-mail using the Contact Us page. If you enrolled
online, you could have opted-out of receiving e-mails from third parties
outside of Our membership program by de-selecting the check box on the
enrollment page. If you accept(ed) a third-party offer provided via or linked
to from our Web site, you consent to our providing your Personal Information
and/or billing information to the third-party marketer that offered the
product or service so they may process your acceptance of any offer.
We may also
disclose your Personal Information when required by law or in the good faith
belief that such action is necessary in order to conform to the edicts of the
law or comply with legal process.
As we continue to
develop our business, we may buy or sell assets. In such transactions,
customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets.
Also, in the unlikely event that our company or substantially all of its
assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the
transferred assets. In the event that customer information is transferred as
described in this paragraph, members may be notified and given the
opportunity to opt-out of having their Personal Information transferred to
any new entity.
How do I change/modify my information?
You can change,
modify or update your member information by sending us an e-mail from the Contact Us page.
You can choose at any time to inform us of your e-mail
preferences by sending us an e- mail from the Contact Us page or, if
available within your program site, by going to the E-mail Preferences page
where you can indicate what offers you are not interested in receiving.
