WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH
We use third-party services (data processors) across our sites. The extent to which your data is shared with these providers depends on your use of our services, and we list the specific third-parties in use (with links to their privacy policies) in the sections below.

COOKIES
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. We use cookies across our sites to help identify and track visitors, their usage of our services, and their website access preferences. We describe the specific cookies used in the sections below. Visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using our websites, with the drawback that certain features may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

WHAT PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT AND WHY WE COLLECT IT
If you create an account, you will be prompted to provide your Email Address, First Name and Last Name. Your Email Address is used to send you an email with a link to set your password or to send you an email with a link to reset your password in the event you forget your password.
Once an account is created, you must contact us to have it deleted.
For users that register on our site, we also store the data they provide in their profile indefinitely. All registered users can see, change or delete most of that data at any time.

PUBLISHING CONTENT
If you upload media (e.g. images) to the Showit application, you should avoid uploading images with EXIF GPS location data included. Visitors to your website can download and extract any location data included in images on the website.

EMAIL/CHAT/CONTACT FORMS
We use Google/G Suite to process all internal email and communication with our customers. Google's privacy policy is available here.
Customers that email us, or use any of the contact forms on our websites, will have their email address, IP address, and any data provided in the contact form or body of the email stored in G Suite archives.

EMBEDDED CONTENT FROM OTHER WEBSITES
Embeds are pieces from other websites that are shown from time to time on our websites. They behave in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website and may use cookies or capture information. Typically embedded content is from websites that share videos, images, or other content. These services may collect your IP Address, your User Agent, store and retrieve cookies on your browser, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including correlating your interaction with the content with your account with that service, if you are logged in to that service.

Marketing Campaigns
We use email marketing to communicate with customers and potential customers from time to time. All email lists and campaigns are “opt-in” meaning we will not send you these sorts of emails unless you indicated that you wish to receive them during signup or other interactions on our website.
We may send you “system” emails, such as password reset requests or payment notifications/receipts even if you have not opted-in to email marketing lists.
All marketing emails sent by us will include an unsubscribe link in the footer of the email. Emails sent to you may also include standard tracking, including open and click activities.
We use Flodesk for email marketing. Flodesk's privacy policy is found here.

USER CREATED CONTACT FORMS
Showit provides the ability for our customers to create contact forms that their site visitors can use to submit data. We do not restrict how these forms are created or what data a user requests and it is up to the user to determine this and their associated privacy. All form data is sent securely and we store the info submitted to our servers along with emailing the data to the customer's user account.

A user may request that any contact form data be deleted from our system by emailing help@showit.co.

WHAT RIGHTS YOU HAVE OVER YOUR DATA

You can also request “to be forgotten” and we will erase any personally identifiable data we have about you. Of course, this excludes data we need for administrative or security purposes or if we are required by law to retain some of the data.

An individual who seeks access, or who seeks to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate data, should direct his/her query to theemptynesterclub@gmail.com. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe, not to exceed 30 days.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR DATA
The security and reliability of our service is our number one priority. We invest heavily to ensure that best practices are followed in everything that we do.

Showit utilizes WordPress for our subscription system and marketplace and for customer sites. See wordpress.org/about/security for details on the security of the WordPress core itself.

All staff only have access to systems that are directly required to complete the functions of their job. All staff (including any contractors) undergo initial training to ensure proper understanding of all security-related processes. Staff regularly attend industry conferences and otherwise stay informed of best practices and relevant trends.
We only use third-party services, such as Amazon Web Services, that are fully vetted and adhere to the highest levels of privacy and security practices.

WHAT DATA BREACH PROCEDURES WE HAVE IN PLACE
Should any event occur where customer data has been lost, stolen, or potentially compromised, our policy is to alert our customers via email no later than 72 hours of our team becoming aware of the event. We will also report such incident to any required data protection authority. We will work closely with any customers affected to determine next steps such as any end-user notifications, needed patches, and how to avoid any similar event in the future.
