Privacy Policy

As described more fully below, we collect information from you directly, automatically when you interact with the Services, and from third parties. Some of this information will be publicly available; other information will be seen by other Users; and other information may be for your own use as described in our Terms of Use. We may combine the information we collect with the Services with information we collect through other services we provide. We may also combine information we collect in any offline setting with information we collect online.

Some of the information we collect may be considered “personal information” under various applicable laws. We consider information that identifies you as a specific, identified individual, such as your name, phone number, and email address, to be personal information. We will also treat other information, including IP addresses and cookie identifiers, as “personal information” where required by applicable law. We may de-identify your personal information so as to make it non-personally identifiable, either by combining it with information about other individuals and/or by hashing the information or otherwise removing characteristics that make the information personally identifiable to you. We will treat de-identified information as non-personal to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law.

• other information that could reasonably be used to identify you personally or identify your household or device.

(c) Use of Cookies and other Tracking Technologies

We may use various methods and technologies to store or collect Usage Information (“Tracking Technologies”). Tracking Technologies may set, change, alter, or modify settings or configurations on your Device. A few of the Tracking Technologies used on the Services include, but are not limited to, the following (as well as future-developed tracking technology or methods that are not listed here):

• Cookies. A cookie is a file placed on your Device to uniquely identify your browser or to store information on your Device. Our Site may use HTTP cookies, HTML5 cookies, Flash cookies, and other types of cookie technology to store information on local storage. These technologies may be used for many purposes by us and our third-party service providers such as automatically collecting Usage Information, enabling features, and remembering your preferences.
• Web Beacons. A web beacon is a small tag (which may be invisible to you) that may be placed on our Site’s pages and messages. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes, including, without limitation, to count visitors to our Site, to monitor how Users navigate the Site, or to count how many particular links were actually viewed.
• Embedded Scripts. An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Site, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your Device from our server or a third-party service provider or business partner, is active only while you are connected to the Site, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.

• To assess the performance of the Services, including as part of our analytic practices or otherwise to improve the content, products, or services offered through the Services;

The Site may include functionality that allows certain kinds of interactions between the Site and your account on a third-party website or application.

For example, we may provide links on the Site to facilitate sending a communication from the Site or we may use third parties to facilitate emails or postings to social media (like a “Share” or “Forward” button). These third parties may retain any information used or provided in any such communications or activities and these third parties’ practices are not subject to our Privacy Policy. We may not control or have access to your communications through these third parties. Further, when you use third-party sites or services, you are using their services and not our services and they, not we, are responsible for their practices. You should read the applicable third-party privacy policies before using such third-party tools on our Site. Please also see our Terms of Use for further information.

(f) Information from Third Parties

One of the features of our Services is individual profiles (“Profiles”) which facilitate Users’ efforts to make connections. These Profiles may be created by us or by Users, and may pertain to registered or non-registered Users, or non-Users. Some Profiles may be available in whole or in part to all Users, while others may be available to only a subset of Users. Some portions of the Profiles may be made available publicly and be visible in Internet search engines. Profiles may be created or supplemented using information obtained from third parties, including other Users and publicly available information.

In addition, we may collect information about you from other sources, including consumer credit reporting agencies, background check vendors (for employment), and state or federal agencies.

This collection and ad targeting takes place both on our Site and on third-party websites that participate in the ad network. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our communications and marketing efforts.

The Site and the Services are not intended for use by children under the age of 18. We do not request, or knowingly collect, any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 18.

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a web browser setting offered by some web browsers that requests that a web application disable its tracking of an individual user. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, ad networks, plug in providers, and/or other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity. Various third parties are developing or have developed signals or other mechanisms for the expression of consumer choice regarding the collection of information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services (e.g., browser do not track signals), but there is no universally-agreed upon standard for what a company should do when it detects a DNT signal. Like many websites and online services, we may not alter our practices when our systems receive these signals or other mechanisms from a visitor’s browser, unless specifically required by law. You can learn more about Do Not Track at www.allaboutdnt.com.

If you are visiting the Site from a location outside of the U.S., your connection will be through and to servers located in the U.S. All information you receive from the Site will be created on servers located in the U.S., and all information you provide will be maintained on web servers and systems located within the U.S. The data protection laws in the United States may differ from those of the country in which you are located, and your information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in the United States according to laws of the United States. By using the Site or providing us with any information, you consent to the transfer to, and processing, usage, sharing and storage of your information in the United States and in other countries, as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Registered Users: You may correct or update some of the personal information we have about you through your online account. You are responsible for maintaining and updating, as applicable, your account and profile information with current, accurate, and complete information.  Note that we may retain information that is deleted, updated, or otherwise changed for internal or administrative purposes.

All registered Users have the right to request the removal of certain content they have publicly posted on the Site. You may be able to remove the content through your online account. Otherwise, you may request that Company remove the content by contacting us at info@pefanetwork.com. In some circumstances, we may maintain the content but remove any reference to you so that the posts are anonymized. When submitting a request, please be sure to include your full name, email address, and information sufficient to permit us to locate the content you are requesting us to remove.  You may also request deletion of your account by emailing info@pefanetwork.com. We will make such requested changes in our active databases as soon as reasonably practicable. Note that any removal of public postings in accordance with these procedures does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information you posted, which may persist in archival records or may have been copied by third parties while publicly accessible, and that deleting your account may not result in the removal of the public postings.

For your convenience, the Site and this Privacy Policy may contain links to other websites. Company is not responsible for the privacy practices, advertising, products, services, or the content of such other websites. None of the links on the Site should be deemed to imply that Company endorses or has any affiliation with the links. Please see our Terms of Use for more information.

We incorporate commercially reasonable safeguards to help protect and secure your personal information. However, no system can be guaranteed 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our Services, or guarantee that it will be free from unauthorized access by third parties. You provide us with information at your own initiative and risk.

Because Company works with global companies and technologies, we may transfer your personal information outside of the country in which it was originally provided. This may include transfers to third parties, such as service providers or affiliated entities who are located outside the United States or the European Union, where data protection laws may not offer the same level of protection as those in the U.S., E.U. or European Economic Area (“EEA”). When we transfer personal data outside of these areas, we take steps to make sure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal information.

Under California law, if you are a resident of California, you may have the right to (a) request that we disclose to you what Personal Information we collect, use, disclose, and sell, including the right to request that we provide to you the specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you in the prior twelve (12) months (“Right to Know”); (b) request that we delete the Personal Information we collect about you (“Right to Delete”), subject to exceptions set forth in the CCPA; and (c) opt-out from the sale of your Personal Information. These rights are subject to some limitations, such as when we are retaining data to comply with our own legal obligations. At this time, we do not sell Personal Information to third parties.

Please note that if we collected information about you for a single one-time transaction and do not keep that information in the ordinary course of business, that information will not be retained for purposes of a request under this section. In addition, if we have de-identified or anonymized data about you, we are not required to re-identify or otherwise link your identity to that data if it is not otherwise maintained that way in our records.

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. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.

You may make a request to us by contacting us by email, postal mail, or telephone as described below. We may require you to confirm your identity and your residency in order to obtain the information, and you are entitled to make this request only twice per year. Please include “California Privacy Rights” as the subject line of your communication. You must include your full name and email address, and attest to the fact that you are a California resident by including a California postal address in your request. We will acknowledge your request within ten (10) days and respond to your request within forty-five (45) days or let you know if we need additional time.

OTHER CALIFORNIA RIGHTS / YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1798.83, residents of the State of California have the right to request from companies conducting business in California certain information relating to third parties to which the company has disclosed certain categories of personal information during the preceding year for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Alternatively, the law provides that a company may comply, as Company does, by disclosing in its privacy policy that it provides consumers choice (opt-out or opt-in) regarding sharing personal information with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes, and information on how to exercise that choice. As stated in this Privacy Policy, Company provides you choice prior to sharing your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. If you do not opt-in or if you opt-out at the time we offer that choice, we do not share your information with that identified third party for its direct marketing purposes.

If you are a California resident and you have questions about our practices with respect to sharing information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes and your ability to exercise choice, please email us at info@pefanetwork.com or write to us at the following mailing address: PEFA, 315 South Beverly Drive, Suite 210, Beverly Hills, CA 90212.

However, you may still submit an opt-out request and we will honor that request as required by Nevada law if we were to ever engage in such a sale in the future. If you are a Nevada resident and would like to opt-out of future sales of your covered information, please submit your request to info@pefanetwork.com. Your request must include your full name, street address, city, state, zip code, and an email address so that we can contact if needed regarding this request.
