We strive to provide you with choices regarding how we use the Personal Data you provide to us. Please understand that if you choose not to disclose information to us, it may affect your ability to use some features of the Services. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information:

a. Account Profile

To update your information or discontinue the Services, please contact us as specified in the Contact Information section below. You also may be able to update your information by logging into your Account.

b. Advertising

We may also use third-party advertisers, ad networks, and other advertising, marketing, and promotional companies, to serve advertisements about the Services. Such third parties may gather information about your visit to the Services, monitor your access or market the Services to you, monitor the ads you view, click-on, or interact with, when they were delivered, and the screens and pages that they are on. If you wish to not have this information used for the purpose of serving you targeted ads, you may opt out by clicking here. Please note this does not opt you out of being served advertising. You will continue to receive generic ads. We and our service providers may use information about your interactions with the Services to predict your interests and select the ads you see on and off the Services. This is known as interest-based advertising. In providing interest-based ads, we follow the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising developed by the Digital Advertising Alliance.

Marketing

From time to time if you have supplied your email address, we may send you marketing or informational emails. If you prefer not to receive any or all of our marketing and promotional communications, you may opt-out of these communications by following the opt-out prompts on these communications. You also may ask us not to send you other marketing or informational communications by contacting us as specified in the Contact Information section below, and we will honor your request. Please note that even after you are removed from our marketing lists, we may still send you non-promotional communications, such as responding to your support requests.

Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) feature that lets you tell websites and online services that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Such browser features and industry standards are not uniform. As such, Breeze does not monitor or respond to DNT browser requests.  If a standard is adopted that we must follow in the future, then we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.

THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND WEBSITE

The Services may contain links to third-party services, websites, mobile applications, and/or contain advertisements from third parties that are not affiliates with us and which may link to other websites, services, or applications.

The Services are not intended for children, and we encourage parents and guardians to be aware of and monitor the websites visited by their children. Breeze does not knowingly collect any Personal Data from children under 16 years of age. If Breeze learns that a child under the age of 16 has submitted Personal Data to the Services without guardian or parental consent, we will take all reasonable measures to remove or delete such information as soon as practicable and not use such information for any purpose, except where necessary to protect the safety of the child or others or as required or allowed by law. If you believe a child under age 16 has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us as specified in the Contact Information section below.

Breeze may retain your Personal Data for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law.

While we implement these measures, please note that 100% security is not possible, and we cannot guarantee that the security measures we have in place to safeguard Personal Data will never be defeated or fail, or that those measures will always be sufficient or effective.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER OF INFORMATION

The Services are hosted in the United States. If you are visiting the Services from outside the United States, your Personal Data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable U.S. laws. Please note your Personal Data will be transferred, processed, collected, used, accessed, and/or stored in the United States, a country and jurisdiction that may not have the same data protection laws or rights as the country in which you reside, and subject to U.S. laws.
