Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) discloses the privacy practices for all personal information received through the Site.  Returnable is committed to protecting your privacy online.  Please read the information below to learn our policies regarding your use of the Site.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS POLICY IS PART OF THE SITE’S TERMS OF USE, AND BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SITE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE POLICY.  IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE POLICY, PLEASE EXIT THE SITE NOW.  YOUR REMEDY FOR DISSATISFACTION WITH OUR POLICY OR THE SERVICES PROVIDED ON OR THROUGH THE SITE, IS TO STOP USING THE SITE.  YOUR AGREEMENT WITH US REGARDING COMPLIANCE WITH THE POLICY BECOMES EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UPON COMMENCEMENT OF YOUR USE OF THE SITE.

In general, you can visit the Site on the Internet without telling us who you are or giving us your personally identifiable information.  As to all of the information described below, Returnable will only use your personally identifiable information to provide our services to you.  When we collect information from you, you may tell us that you do not want it used for further marketing contact and we will respect your wishes.  You may also turn off cookies in your browser.  For more information on what a “cookie” is and how it works, please see below.

We reserve the right to change this Policy at any time and from time to time.  Such changes, modifications, additions, or deletions shall be effective immediately upon notice thereof, which may be given by means including, but not limited to, issuing an e-mail to the e-mail address that you listed when registering and posting the revised Policy on this page.  You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this Policy periodically, and be aware of any modifications.  Your continued use of the Site after any such modifications will constitute your: (a) acknowledgment of any modified Policy; and (b) agreement to abide and be bound by any modified Policy.

  1. TYPES OF INFORMATION COLLECTED.

We collect the personally identifiable information (“PII”) that you provide to us when you sign up for our services.  PII refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are, for example your first and last name or e-mail address.  Returnable will not give, sell, rent or exchange such information with anyone else without your prior consent except as compelled by law.  For instance, we may disclose your PII if reasonably necessary: (i) to comply with a legal process, such as a court order, subpoena or search warrant, government / law enforcement investigation or other legal requirements; (ii) to assist in the prevention or detection of a crime (subject in each case to applicable law); or (iii) to protect the safety of any person.

We also may collect non-personally identifiable information (“Non-PII”).  This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual.  We may gather certain general information about you based upon where and how you visit the Site in several ways.  This information may be compiled and analyzed on both an individual and an aggregated basis.  This information may include the Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and/or your Internet Protocol ("IP") address.  A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web (“Web”).  An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such as the Web.  Networks like the Web use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination.  In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web or allowing Web servers to locate and identify your computer.  Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet.  We use Non-PII to enhance the smooth operation of the Site, improve our marketing and promotional efforts, statistically analyze the Site’s use, improve our service offerings, and customize the Site’s content, layout, and services.  We DO NOT share your Non-PII with anyone.

  1. HOW WE STORE YOUR PII.

We implement commercially reasonable security measures designed to protect your PII from unauthorized access. We further protect your PII from potential security breaches by implementing certain technological security measures including encryption, firewalls and secure socket layer technology.  However, these measures do not guarantee that your information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by unauthorized persons who breach such firewalls and secure server software.  By providing your PII to us, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to assume these risks. 

  1. PRIVACY POLICIES OF THIRD-PARTY SITES

As a public service, we may maintain links to other Web sites.  Except as otherwise discussed in this Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you.  Other sites accessible through the Site have their own privacy policies and data collection, use, and disclosure practices.  For more information on this topic, please consult each specific site’s privacy policy.  You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for the policies or practices of third parties.

  1. COOKIES 

When you use the Site, we will store cookies on your computer in order to authorize access to our private content and to facilitate and customize your use of the Site.  A cookie is a small data text file, which is stored on your computer's hard drive (if your Web browser permits).  Cookies contain information that can be read later by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.  Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.  We use “session cookies”.  Our session cookies (i) make your use of the Site easier and (ii) make the Site run more smoothly.  You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but some parts of the Site may not work properly in that case.  Once you leave the Site, the “session cookie” remains on your hard drive while you are connected to the Web in case you choose to visit the Site again.  However, the session cookie is deleted when you close your Web browser.  At no time will our “cookie” collect your PII.

  1. MISCELLANEOUS PRIVACY ISSUES.

You must be at least 18 years old to use our services.  Our policy is that we do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose PII about visitors that are under 18 years of age (a "Child").  All of the PII that we collect is provided directly from our members.  In the unusual circumstance that we discover that we have received PII directly from a Child, then we will immediately delete such information.  If you are a parent of a Child and you become aware that your Child has provided us with PII without your consent, you should contact us through our Site's Contact page.  Parents always have the right to inspect any information that we may have inadvertently collected from their Child, and have the right to have us edit or delete it.
