Section I. General Provisions Regarding Privacy

Guardian Zone, LLC (“Guardian Zone,” “we,” “us”) has adopted the following policies regarding your privacy. We provide this Guardian Zone Services and Mobile Application Privacy Policy (or “Privacy Policy”) to inform you of our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal information we receive from users of our website at Guardian Zone.com (the “Site”) and the Guardian Zone Android and iOS mobile device applications (the “App”) or any other products provided by Guardian Zone, LLC. The Site, App, and all other Guardian Zone services are collectively referred to as the Guardian Zone Services (“Services.”) This Privacy Policy applies only to information that you provide to us through use of the Services or by direct contact with a representative of Guardian Zone. By using the Services, you are agreeing to be bound by these policies. Our privacy policy was updated effective June 18, 2020 and in the future will continue to be updated as necessary. We will notify you of any material changes and all updates to the privacy policy will be posted on the Site and within the mobile Application.

This this Guardian Zone Services and Mobile Application Privacy Policy includes four sections. The instant Section I states our General Provisions Regarding Privacy. Section II sets forth the Detailed Privacy Policy. Section III is the Guardian Zone Privacy Policy for Children Under Age 13. Section IV supplements Sections I – III, and is an additional Guardian Zone Privacy Notice for California Residents.

Key Terms

“Services.” The Guardian Zone Services (“Services”) include, collectively, the website at guardianzone.com (the “Site”) and the Guardian Zone Android and iOS mobile device applications (the “App”), and any services or products provided by Guardian Zone, LLC.

“User.” Any individual who is in contact with the Services, whether registered or not. All Users are bound by these Terms and Conditions whether registered or not.

“Registered User.” Any individual who has contacted the Services, provided the required information and completed the steps necessary to create an account.

“Venue.” Any Registered User who has created and manages a property listed in and contactable through the Services whether the owner, employee or authorized representative of the owner of that property. By creating and publishing a Property within the Services Venues indicate and attest they own or have obtained the right to operate on and transmit notifications related to the listed property.

“Property.” A property which has been input into the Services and is associated with a Venue.

“PII.” “Personally Identifiable Information”. Information about you that can be used to contact or identify you, and information on your use of, and activities through, our Services that may be connected with you

1. The PII We Collect. In the course of using the Services, you may provide us with PII. PII that we collect may include, but is not limited to, your first and last name, password, mobile number, email address, billing information, vehicle information, details regarding any transaction you make or action you take using the Services, location, and information voluntarily given to us by you. PII may also include information you supply to us concerning your location, preferences, and interests expressed in the course of use of the Services. It is not compulsory that you provide any of the above information; however, if you choose not to, you will not be able to register as a user of the Services and will not have access to certain information and features or capability to conduct any transactions with other Guardian Zone users.

1.1 Log Data. Our servers automatically record information about how Users (both account holders and non-account holders) use our Services. This information, referred to as “Log Data,” may include, but is not limited to, your computer’s Internet Protocol address, browser type, operating system, the web page you were visiting before you accessed our Services, the pages or features of our Services that you browsed and the time spent on those pages or features, search terms, the links on our Services that you clicked, and statistics related to your use of the Services. We use Log Data to administer the Services and to analyze (or have third parties analyze) the Log Data to improve, customize, and enhance our Services by expanding their features and functionality and tailoring them to our users’ needs and preferences.

1.2 Cookies. Like many websites, we also use automated data collection tools such as “cookies” and “web beacons” to collect certain information. “Cookies” are small text files that we transfer to your computer’s hard disk for record-keeping purposes. We use “persistent cookies” to save your registration ID and login password for future logins to the Site; and we use “session ID cookies” to enable certain features of the Site, to better understand how you interact with the Site and to monitor aggregate usage and web traffic routing on the Site. You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions of the Site or all functionality of our Services. Note that this Privacy Policy covers only our use of cookies and does not include use of cookies by third parties.

1.3 Web Beacons. “Web Beacons” (also known as clear gifs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that may be included on our Services for several purposes, including to deliver or communicate with cookies, to track and measure the performance of our Services, to monitor how many visitors view our Services, and to monitor the effectiveness of our advertising. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the user’s hard drive, web beacons
are typically embedded invisibly on web pages (or in an e-mail).

1.4 Location Information. When you use the Services, we may collect and store information about your location by converting your IP address into a geographic location, or by accessing your device’s GPS coordinates or course location if you enable location services on your device. We may use location information to improve and personalize our Services for you. You may opt to not allow us to use your device’s location, but doing so may prevent you from being able to use some or all of features provided by the Services.

1.5 Property Data. In order to become a Venue, you will be required to create a Property. In order to create and publish a Property you will be required input information specific to the Property including but not limited to address, property type, business name, business type, property features, and hours of operation.

1.6 User Ratings. The Services provides a means for other Registered Users to rate your performance and behavior as a Venue or User. We will aggregate and store this information.

1.7 How We Use PII. PII is used for the following purposes: (a) to provide and improve our Services, services, features, and content, (b) to administer your account and your use of our Services, (c) to enable Users to enjoy and easily navigate the Site and Mobile Application, (d) to better understand your needs and interests, (e) to fulfill requests you may make, (f) to personalize your experience, (g) to provide or offer software updates and product announcements, and (h) to provide you with further information and offers from us or our partners, and to market, advertise, and inform you about products and services that we may deem relevant to you. These may include products and services offered directly by us or any entity with which have formed a business relationship. This information and these communications may come to you in the form of email, mobile messaging, telephone contact, or direct mail depending upon the preferences which you indicate to us within your account.

If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive such communications, please follow the instructions provided in any of the communications or update your “user settings” information. (See “Changing or Deleting Information,” below.) We use information we obtain by technical means (such as the automatic recording performed by our servers or through the use of cookies) for the above purposes and in order to monitor and analyze use of the Services for behavioral information and for technical administration of the Services, to increase the functionality and user-friendliness of the Services, to better tailor the Services to your needs, to generate and derive useful data and information concerning the interests, characteristics, and website and Mobile App use behavior of our users, and to verify that visitors to the Services meet the criteria required to process their requests.

2. Information Sharing and Disclosure.

2.1 Information We Disclose with Your Consent or at Your Request. We will display portions of your PII in your profile page and elsewhere through the Services according to the preferences you set in your account. Any information you choose to provide should reflect how much you want all other Guardian Zone users to know about you. We may share your PII with third-party sites or platforms, such as social networking sites, if you have requested that we do so.

2.2 Information Shared with Services Providers and Analysts. We may engage third- party services providers to work with us to administer and provide the Services. These third- party services providers may have access to your PII only for the purpose of performing services on our behalf and are expressly obligated by agreement, statute and/or applicable regulations not to disclose or use your PII for any other purpose. We may share aggregated information and non-identifying information with third parties for purposes that include, but are not limited to, industry research and analysis, demographic profiling, and other similar purposes.

2.3 Information Disclosed in Connection with Business Transactions. Information that we collect from our Users, including PII, is considered to be a business asset. As a result, if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or are acquired as a result of a transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your PII may be disclosed or transferred to the third-party acquirer in connection with the transaction. In such an event we will take the steps we deem appropriate to ensure that your privacy rights remain protected.

2.4 Information Disclosed to Protect Us and Others. We cooperate with government and law enforcement officials or private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We may disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials, or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to: (a) respond to claims, or legal process (including subpoenas); (b) protect our property, rights, safety, and the property, rights, and safety of a third party or the public in general; and (c) stop any activity that we consider illegal, unethical, or legally actionable.

3. Changing or Deleting Your Information. All Registered Users may review, update, correct, or delete the PII provided in their registration or account profile by contacting us at [email protected] or by changing their user profile information. If you completely delete all such information, then your account may become deactivated.

4. Security. We take reasonable administrative, physical, and electronic measures designed to protect the information that we collect from or about you (including your PII) from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Please be aware, however, that no method of transmitting information over the Internet or storing information is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information. By agreeing to our terms of services, you agree to indemnify and hold Guardian Zone and any affiliated entities harmless, in the event that your PII is accessed by an unauthorized party as a result of using the Services.

5. Our General Policy Regarding Children. Section III of this Guardian Zone Services and Mobile Application Privacy Policy sets forth our specific policy to safeguard the privacy of children in relation to providing the Services. The Services are not directed to children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 16. Where a child under the age of 13 is identified in the course of attempting to create a Registered User account, or as having access to a Registered User account without express parental authorization, as necessary for any user to be granted authorization to make ordinary use of the Guardian Zone Services including personally identifiable information such as geo-location information for tracking a Registered User’s wireless device in providing the Guardian Zone Services, the attempted registration will not be completed to establish the Registered User account enabling such ordinary use of the Guardian Zone Services in the absence of express parental authorization, such authorization is conditioned upon, and requires, both confirmation of the identity of the parent and actual delivery of express authorization by the identified parent to Guardian Zone LLC, in compliance with applicable law including the Children’s Online Privacy Protections Act (“COPPA”), and where any instance of a child under age 13 accessing the Services without express parental authorization is identified, such Registered User account will be blocked until an identified parent is notified and express parental authorization of the identified parent is received, and any PII will be deleted from our files. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with PII without their consent, he or she should contact us at [email protected]. If we become aware that a child under 16 has provided us with PII, we will delete such information from our files.

6. Contacting Us. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at [email protected].

Section III. Guardian Zone Privacy Policy for Children Under Age 13

Guardian Zone Privacy Policy for Children Under Age 13
Last modified: June 18, 2020

CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 13
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and its rules (collectively, “COPPA”) require us to inform parents and legal guardians (as used in this section, “parents”) about our practices for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information from children under the age of 13 (“children”). It also requires us to obtain verifiable consent from a child’s parent for certain collection, use, and disclosure of the child’s personal information.

This section notifies parents of:
• The types of information we may collect from children.
• How we use the information we collect.
• Our practices for disclosing that information.
• Our practices for notifying and obtaining parents’ consent when we collect personal information from children, including how a parent may revoke consent.
• All operators that collect or maintain information from children through the Guardian Zone Services. The “Services” are defined in the definitions of the Guardian Zone Terms & Conditions.

This section only applies to children under the age of 13 and supplements the other provisions of this privacy policy. Only the other provisions of this privacy policy apply to teens and adults. Terms that are defined in the general privacy policy have the same meanings as used in this Privacy Policy for Children Under the Age of 13.

Information We Collect from Children

Children can access many parts of the Guardian Zone Services and its content and use many of its features without providing us with personal information. However, some content and features are available only to registered users and certain information, including personal information, is collected from them. In addition, we use certain technologies, such as cookies, to automatically collect information from our users (including children) when they visit or use the Guardian Zone Services.

We only collect as much information about a child as is reasonably necessary for the child to participate in an activity, and we do not condition his or her participation on the disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary.

Information We Collect Directly. A child must provide us with the following information to register with the Guardian Zone Services: the child’s first name, birth date, email address, text message account such as mobile phone number, parent’s names, and at least one parent’s email address and/or parent’s mobile phone number. We also require the child to create a member name and password. We may request additional information from your child, but this information is optional. We specify whether information is required or optional when we request it.

Your Express Parental Consent is Required for Activating Registration and Authorizing Guardian Zone Services to Track the Device Location(s) and Use Location Tracking Information for Wireless Devices of Children Under Age 13. When a child under age 13 is identified as a prospective user of the Guardian Zone Services when attempting to register for a Guardian Zone User Account, your child must provide your email address and/or mobile phone number before his or her registration will be completed to authorize your child to make use of the Guardian Zone App. If you do not wish to authorize your child to make use of the App, then it is within your sole discretion to decline to provide your authorization. Declining to provide your express authorization, following a series of automated attempts by Guardian Zone LLC to contact you via email or text messaging and requesting your express authorization, will cause the location tracking feature of the Guardian Zone App to remain disabled.

We enable registered users to communicate with others on or through the Guardian Zone Services through chat, email, text messaging, and posting to public areas of the Guardian Zone Services (“Social Features”). The nature of these features allows children to disclose personal information about themselves. We do not monitor or review this content before it is posted, and we do not control the actions of third parties with whom your child shares his or her information. We encourage parents to educate their children about safe use of mobile applications and the internet, and to monitor their children’s use of social features.

Automatic Information Collection and Tracking. We use technology to automatically collect information from our users, including children, when they access and navigate through the Guardian Zone Services and use certain of its features. The information we collect through these technologies may include:
• One or more persistent identifiers that can be used to recognize a user over time and across different websites and online services[SPECIFIC IDENTIFIER].]
• Information that identifies a device’s location (geolocation information).

We also may combine non-personal information we collect through these technologies with personal information about you or your child that we collect online.

For information about our automatic information collection practices, including how you can opt out of certain information collection, see the subsections “Automatic Information Collection and Tracking” and “Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information” of our Detailed Privacy Policy (Section II., above).

How We Use Your Child’s Information

We use the personal information we collect from your child to:
• register him or her with the Guardian Zone Services;
• communicate with him or her about activities or features of the Guardian Zone Services that may be of interest;
• track his or her performance in activities;
• track his or her device’s location;
• track his or her device’s communications to us, you or Venues.

We use the information we collect automatically through technology (see Automatic Information Collection and Tracking) and other non-personal information we collect to improve our Guardian Zone Services and to deliver a better and more personalized experience by enabling us to:
• Estimate our audience size and usage patterns.
• Store information about the child’s preferences, allowing us to customize the content according to individual interests.
• Speed up your searches.

We use geolocation information we collect to enable important location specific features of the Guardian Zone Services, such as locating his or her device, determining interactions with geofences, interacting and communicating with Venues or events, communications to his or her device, communications with public safety, event and Venue security personnel, and communications to you.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights
To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:
• Emailing us at [email protected], or
• Visiting www.guardianzone.com.

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. To designate an authorized agent, visit www.guardianzone.com.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:
• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, which may include:
• Identity verification information provided by you when registering to use the Guardian Zone Services;
• Your name and the location of your wireless device at the day and time you knowingly interacted or intended to interact with the Guardian Zone Services, the name of your major wireless service provider, the model of your wireless device, and either or both of: an identifier assigned by the manufacturer of your device or identifier assigned for your wireless device by your wireless service provider.
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account.
We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
We do not sell your personal information.

Response Timing and Format
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights
If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time (the “right to opt-out”). We do not sell the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from either the consumer who is at least 13 but not yet 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time.

To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to [email protected]

Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales. However, you may change your mind and opt back in to personal information sales at any time by submit a request to [email protected].

You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:
• Deny you goods or services.
• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time. We currently do not provide financial incentives for your opt-in consent.
