INTRODUCTION

This is the privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) for the specific Internet website, application or other interactive service (“Site,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provided by planet.ECO LLC (“.ECO®”) that contains an authorized link to this Privacy Policy, which, for the purposes hereof, shall include any information submitted through third party websites directly linked from the Site that permit online submission to .ECO®, as further discussed herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all information and data submitted through any third-party website will also be subject to such third party’s privacy policy. For purposes of clarity, this Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected offline or otherwise outside of scope of the Site, as set forth above.

By using the Site, you agree to accept the terms of this Privacy Policy. .ECO® may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. If .ECO® makes any substantial changes in the types of information .ECO® collects or how .ECO® uses such information, .ECO® will inform you of such changes in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

SECTION 1. WHEN THIS PRIVACY POLICY APPLIES

This Privacy Policy applies whether you are accessing the Site via a personal computer, a mobile device or any other technology or devices now known or hereafter developed or discovered (each, a “Device”) and whether you are accessing the Site as a registered user or other user of the Site. This Privacy Policy governs only the Personal Information and Other Information (as those terms are defined below) collected by the Site and does not cover any such information collected in any other manner or by any other website offered by .ECO® and/or any affiliates that .ECO® directly or indirectly owns or controls (collectively, “Affiliates”) or collected by any other company, unless specifically stated.

This Privacy Policy, as amended from time-to-time, will remain in full force and effect even if your use of or participation in the Site or any particular service, feature or function offered through the Site terminates, expires, ceases, is suspended or deactivated for any reason. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not access the Site or any features or services offered through the Site.

SECTION 2. U.S. GOVERNING LAW; SAFE HARBOR.

The Site is designed and targeted to U.S. audiences and is governed by and operated in accordance with the laws of the U.S. We make no representation that this Site is operated in accordance with the laws or regulations of, or governed by, other nations. By using the Site, you certify that you meet the age and other eligibility requirements for this Site as set forth in our Terms of Use, as applicable. If you do not meet the age and other eligibility requirements, if any, please discontinue using the Site immediately as your continued use of the Site indicates that you are agreeing to the collection, use, disclosure, management and storage of your Information as described in this Privacy Policy.

If you are located outside of the U.S. you use this Site at your own risk and initiative and you, not .ECO®, are responsible for compliance with any applicable local and national laws. Please be aware that any Personal Information and Other Information you provide to us or we obtain as a result of your use of this Site will be collected in the U.S. and/or transferred to the U.S. and subject to U.S. law. By using this Site and/or providing us with your Personal Information and Other Information, you

Consent to the transfer and/or processing of any Information to and in the U.S.;
Acknowledge that U.S. law may provide a lower standard of protection for personal data than the laws of your location; and
Understand that we will collect, transfer, store, process and/or deal with your Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and U.S. law.

Consequently, to the full extent permitted by law, you hereby waive any claims relating to the processing of your Personal Information or Other Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy that may arise under the laws and regulations that apply to you in or of any other country or jurisdiction.

SECTION 3. COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION AND OTHER INFORMATION.

When we use the term “Personal Information” we mean information that would allow someone to identify you or contact you, such as your full name, postal address, e-mail address or telephone number. When we use the term “Other Information”, we mean any information other than Personal Information that may be collected about you (Personal Information and Other Information, together, the “Information”).

Information We Collect that you Provide Us.

User Registration.

To the extent we offer user registration on the Site, to register as a member of the Site, you are required to select a user name and password (together, your “User ID”) and may also be required to provide other Information, such as your email address, car make and model, and date of birth. Additional Information may be requested during the registration process (but not required).

In Connection with Certain Features and Functions.

We may also provide you with access to certain features or functions that we may offer on the Site, such as message boards. To sign up for or participate in these features or functions, you may be required to provide us with certain Information about you in order for us to personalize and/or allow you to use such features and functions.

Information Collected Through Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies.

“Cookies” (which may be html files, Flash files or other technology) are text files that help store user preferences and activity. “Web beacons” (also known as image tags, gif or web bugs) are small pieces of code used to collect advertising data, such as counting page views, promotion views or advertising responses. The Site and/or third parties may use “cookies”, “web beacons” and other similar tracking technologies (collectively, “tracking Technologies”) to collect Other Information automatically as you browse the Site and the web.

By visiting the Site, whether as a registered user or otherwise, you acknowledge, understand and hereby agree that you are giving us your consent to track your use of the Site through these Tracking Technologies.

We use Tracking Technologies to help tailor our content, allow users to move between associated sites without logging into each site, understand Site and internet usage, improve or customize the content, offerings or advertisements on this Site, personalize your experience on this Site (for example, to recognize you by name when you return to the Site), understand your interactions with email messages (such as the links clicked on and whether the messages were opened or forwarded), save your password in password-protected areas, save your online game or video player settings, enable you to use shopping carts on the Site, help us offer you products, programs or services that may be of interest to you, deliver relevant advertising, maintain and administer the Site and for other purposes described in the “Use of Information”, Other Information Collected by Us. These Tracking Technologies collect “click stream” data and additional Other Information regarding your visits to the Site (such as your visits to the Site’s webpages, use of our features and purchasing history or preferences), may collect such Other Information across multiple sessions on this Site and other websites offered by Affiliates and may also collect your IP address or some other identifier unique to the Device you use to access the Site (“Identifier”). An Identifier is automatically assigned to any Device you use to access the Site. Your Personal Information is not collected as part of this process but we may associate Other Information collected by Tracking Technologies with Personal Information.

This Site may additionally use a variety of third party advertising networks, data exchanges, traffic measurement service providers, marketing analytics service providers and other third parties (collectively, “Third Party Advertising Service Providers”) to, for example, serve advertisements on the Site, facilitate targeting of advertisements and/or measure and analyze advertising effectiveness and/or traffic on the Site (“Targeting Services”). These Third Party Advertising Service Providers may enable us to display advertisements based on your visits to the Site and other websites you have visited. Targeting Services enable us to, among other things, help deliver advertisements or other content to you for products and services that you might be interested in, to prevent you from seeing the same advertisements too many times and to conduct research regarding the usefulness of certain advertisements to you.

These Third Party Advertising Service Providers do not have access to Tracking Technologies set by the Site except to the extent necessary to provide services to the Site. The Third Party Advertising Service Providers and other third parties may themselves set and access their own Tracking Technologies on your Device if you choose to have Tracking Technologies enabled in your browser (or, for Flash cookies, if you have not removed them) and/or they may otherwise collect or have access to Information about you and your online activities over time and across different websites when you use the Site.

The use of Tracking Technologies by Third-Party Advertising Service Providers is within their control and not ours.

However, please see “Opting-Out of Certain Uses of Information Collected by Tracking Technologies” Section below for more information on how to opt-out of the collection and/or use of Information collected by certain Third-Party Advertising Service Providers.

SECTION 4. OPTING-OUT OF CERTAIN USES OF INFORMATION COLLECTED BY TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES.

You can opt-out of the use of Other Information for these advertising purposes by Third-Party Advertising Service Provider Adobe AudienceManager (formerly known as Demdex) by using its opt-out tool, available at http://www.donottarget.com, or as described in the next bullet point.
We also may from time to time permit other Third-Party Advertising Service Providers to collect Other Information on the Site. Some of these Third-Party Advertising Service Providers may participate in the Network Advertising Initiative’s Opt-Out Tool and/or the Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. Please click on the links to these tools to learn more about your choices.

Please note the following with respect to opting out:

The opt-out tools discussed above are “cookie based.”

If you delete Tracking Technologies using the controls in your Web browser (a process described below) after opting out, you may have to opt out again to re-establish your opt-out preferences.

Opt-outs are “browser-specific.”

The opt-out preferences that you choose will apply only to the Web browser that you used when you selected these preferences. This means, for example, that if you opt-out while using Internet Explorer 9, this choice will not affect the use of Other Information collected by Tracking Technologies when you use Mozilla Firefox on the same Device. It also means that opting-out on one Device will not affect the use of Other Information by Tracking Technologies on other Devices that you may use to access the Site.

Delete existing Tracking Technologies

through the “Internet Options” sub-option of the “Tools” menu option of your browser or otherwise as directed by your browser’s support feature; and

Disable future Tracking Technologies

Opting-out of, deleting, rejecting, disabling or turning off Third-Party Advertising Service Providers’ Tracking Technologies does not mean that you will no longer receive online ads (if any ads are on the Site). Opting-out of, deleting, rejecting, disabling or turning off Third-Party Advertising Service Providers’ Tracking Technologies only means that such ads will no longer be tailored to your specific viewing habits or interests, but you will continue to see ads (if any) on this Site.

SECTION 6. REVIEWING, UPDATING OR DELETING CERTAIN INFORMATION.

To delete all records of your Personal Information from the Site, please send an email to the Privacy Administrator by clicking here, and a communication to .ECO® through the “Contact” Page with the subject of “Privacy”.

If the burden or expense of providing access to your Information is disproportionate to the risks to your privacy or if the legitimate rights of others would be violated, we may decide not to provide access to such Information. In such cases, we will provide to you an explanation of why access cannot be provided and contact information for further inquiries.

SECTION 7. PROTECTION OF INFORMATION.

Protection of Information.

While no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure from intrusion, we maintain commercially reasonable physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your Information. However, regardless of our efforts and the Device you use to access the Site, it is possible that third parties may unlawfully intercept or otherwise access transmissions or private communications over an unsecured transmission. We also limit access to the Site by our own employees to those individuals who are authorized for the proper handling of such information and any employee found violating our standards of security and confidentiality will be subject to our disciplinary processes. We request that our Operational Service Providers follow similar standards of security and confidentiality.

Phishing.

Phishing attacks attempt to steal consumers’ personal identity data and financial account credentials. “Phishers” use ‘spoofed’ e-mails to lead consumers to counterfeit websites designed to trick recipients into divulging Information such as credit card numbers, account usernames, passwords and social security numbers. WE DO NOT SEND EMAILS ASKING YOU TO PROVIDE OR CONFIRM CREDIT CARD NUMBERS, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS OR YOUR USERNAME OR PASSWORD! If you receive such email communication, please forward it immediately to the Site’s Privacy Administrator by clicking here, and also send a communication to .ECO® through the “Contact” Page with the subject of “Privacy”, and then immediately delete the fraudulent email from your computer.

SECTION 8. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND NOTICE.

We reserve the right to revise this Privacy Policy at any time by posting an updated Privacy Policy without advance notice to you. Such revisions shall be effective immediately upon posting. Notice of material changes will be posted on the Site’s homepage and/or will be provided by e-mailing you or notifying you upon login about these changes; the form of such notice is at our discretion. However, we encourage you to check this Privacy Policy and Terms of Use often for updates.

SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS.

Accuracy and Confidentiality.

It is your responsibility to give us current, complete, truthful and accurate information, including Personal Information, and to keep such information up to date. We cannot and will not be responsible for any problems or liability that may arise if you do not give us accurate, truthful or complete information or Personal Information or you fail to update such information or Personal Information. We will reject and delete any entry that we believe in good faith to be false, fraudulent or inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the strict confidentiality of your password, if applicable, and for any charges, costs, expenses, damages, liabilities and losses we incur or may suffer as a result of your failure to do so. You, and not .ECO®, are solely responsible and liable for the activity, behavior, use and conduct on the Site under your password (whether used by you or any others who use your password), unless and until you notify us that your password may have been compromised, misappropriated or improperly taken or used by another party. We reserve the right to deny access, use and registration privileges to any user, including without limitation, a registered user, of any services, features or functions of the Site if we believe there is a question about the identity of the person trying to access the user’s account or any services, features or functions.
