Your Privacy
We are committed to protecting your privacy. At no time will we trade, sell, or
distribute for free organization specific or personal information, including email
addresses or other user IDs, to any individual, company, vendor or organization,
in ways other than disclosed in this privacy statement. This privacy statement covers
the site www.perkspot.com and private label sub-domains delivered by 12 Interactive
LLC, (i.e. abc.perkspot.com, etc.). Because 12 Interactive LLC wants to demonstrate
its commitment to your privacy, it has agreed to disclose its information practices.

The Personal Information Collected by PerkSpot
Your first name, last name, valid work email address, and home and work zip code represent
the only pieces of personal information you must submit to access PerkSpot. In certain
instances, other demographic data will be collected, but not required. PerkSpot
uses this information to provide the benefits/services associated with the program.
Additionally, PerkSpot collects click-stream data and other preference information
on its users in order to improve the design and vendor selection of the site. Click-stream
data represents a page-by-page history of a person’s site usage. PerkSpot is a portal
through which users access discounts redeemable at selected vendors. In most cases,
online purchases facilitated by the PerkSpot portal are subject to the privacy policies
of the website where that transaction is conducted. In a few cases; however, PerkSpot
itself functions as the vendor and must collect additional personal information,
described later in this privacy policy, to complete the online transaction.
|
On the Corporate Sites
First name, last name, employer, number of employees,
valid work email address and phone number are the only required pieces of information
collected on www.perkspot.com. This is done on a voluntary basis and ensures that
12 Interactive LLC can properly respond to all inquiries submitted through the site.
|
How We Use This Personal Information
12 Interactive LLC requires your first
name, last name, email address, and home and work zip code for the following reasons:
1. To provide a point of contact for communicating PerkSpot correspondence, including
your personal password, technical issues that may arise and periodic reminders that
you may request (on an opt-in basis) as a PerkSpot user. 2. To assign a name to
your user id and password. 3. To verify your employment with the organization using
PerkSpot. 4. To provide the benefits/services associated with PerkSpot. Click-stream
data can help determine the popularity of vendors, offers and site features with
our audience, allowing us to develop a better site. An individual user’s click-stream
data is kept in the strictest confidence, and will never be distributed to any party
outside of 12 Interactive LLC.
|
On the Corporate Sites
Information submitted through www.perkspot.com is
done so on a voluntary basis by individuals seeking to learn more about 12 Interactive
LLC. Personal information is gathered to ensure a prompt and accurate reply by a
12 Interactive LLC representative.
|
What Information We Share
12 Interactive LLC only shares aggregated data
to third party vendors, but it will not disclose information specific to any user
or company, including email address. This information represents a generic overview
of our users’ collective viewing habits and allows vendors to modify their discounts
based on user traffic. Additionally, some participating corporations have requested
monthly reports of traffic on PerkSpot. These reports will reveal only the aggregated
viewing habits of PerkSpot visitors for your organization. The reports will not
disclose the user name, login ID or any other personal information of users, including
email address.

Emails
12 Interactive LLC will not send unsolicited emails to registered
users of PerkSpot without consent. Additionally, users may choose to receive PerkSpot
correspondence, including email reminders of specific vendor offers and PerkSpot
newsletters. The “my account” channel on the site displays the correspondence you’ve
elected to receive, and provides the option to unsubscribe from future PerkSpot
related emails. All emails sent by PerkSpot contain directions on how to unsubscribe
from future correspondence. At any time, users may opt out of PerkSpot related correspondence
by sending an email to sales@perkspot.com. Users may also access their personal
information, including email address to make edits in the “My Account” section of
the website. In addition, a registered user who wishes that their personal information,
including email address to be completely removed from the PerkSpot database should
email cs@perkspot.com. We will respond to your request within thirty [30] business
days. An employee’s complete removal of his or her personal information from the
database negates that employee’s ability to login to PerkSpot.

of policy changes prior to shopping or browsing the website. As always, a user who
is not amenable to the conditions of a revised privacy policy may opt out of PerkSpot
by the means outlined earlier in this document.

Purchasing Items Directly Through PerkSpot Agents

an outside shipping company to fulfill orders, and a credit card processing company
to bill you for goods and services. These companies do not retain share, store or
use personally identifiable information for any other purposes.
|
Service Providers
12 Interactive LLC uses other third parties to process
credit card transactions on the site(s). When you sign up for programs directly
related to PerkSpot, 12 Interactive LLC will share first name, last name, credit
card information and billing address as necessary for the third party to provide
that service. 12 Interactive LLC will not share email addresses with those third
parties for the purpose of processing credit card transactions. These third parties
are prohibited from using your personally identifiable information, including email
address, for any other purpose. PerkSpot is a portal that provides access to exclusive
discounts redeemable at the point of purchase at a certain vendor’s online or offline
location. In rare cases, PerkSpot may serve as both vendor and portal, and will
collect certain information necessary to complete an online purchase. Like every
online purchase, you will be required to submit the following information to buy
an item where PerkSpot is the vendor: • Shipping or billing address or both • Credit
card information • Day time phone number • Email address In all cases, any transaction
conducted through PerkSpot is secured and encrypted. Hence, you may submit any sensitive
data (e.g., credit card numbers) to this site with the assurance that it will remain
protected. Licensees shall provide commercially seasonable measures to protect the
security and integrity of any systems. Commercially reasonable efforts shall be
made to prevent open proxies, open relays and the dissemination of computer viruses,
worms, or Trojans on the licensee’s network and any IP addresses over which Email
Messages are sent by Licensee. Again, PerkSpot will never compromise your personal
privacy. Information, including email address, submitted to carry out a transaction
where 12 Interactive LLC is the vendor is kept in the highest confidentiality, and
is absolutely never shared with outside parties in ways other than disclosed in
this privacy statement.
|
Vendor’s Privacy
PerkSpot is a portal that enables users to purchase discounted products on the websites
of participating vendors. Each vendor maintains its’ own privacy policy that you
should be familiar with before you submit your personal information. Our privacy
policy is not applicable on any of the vendor sites. Therefore, it is important
for a potential buyer to familiarize himself with the privacy policies of each vendor.
12 Interactive LLC will never transmit personal identifiers, including name, email
address, or user ids to any participating vendor. Clicking on a vendor site through
PerkSpot does not result in the transmission of your personal information to that
vendor.
|
Limits
Although your privacy is of paramount concern to us, 12 Interactive
LLC cannot reasonably be expected to suppress information where the withholding
of such information represents a violation of federal or state law. 12 Interactive
LLC reserves the right to disclose your personally identifiable information, including
email address, as required by law and when it is believed that disclosure is necessary
to protect 12 Interactive LLC’s rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding,
court order, or legal process served on the site(s).

of your personal information, including email address, (as defined above) in our
