Therefore, if you click any links on the Website that lead to websites owned or operated by third parties or if you access any other website, including to purchase or view any merchandise or material displayed on the Website, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. You should review the privacy policies adopted by those third parties to ensure that you know what information is being collected and for what it is being used.

What Information We Collect And Why We Collect It

We collect two basic types of information from you in conjunction with your use of the Website and Services – Personal Information and Automatically Collected Information (collectively, “Information”).

“Personal information” is any information that can individually identify you and includes, as an illustrative example and without limitation, your name, postal address, email address, telephone number, and any other information (including Subscription and Puff Passport registration information) etc., that can be linked to your identity. We collect no Personal Information about you unless you specifically and knowingly provide it.

“Automatically Collected Information” includes information that does not personally identify you, but may include, as an illustrative example and without limitation, tracking and usage information about your location, use of the Website and the Internet, etc.

Personal Information
There are a number of circumstances in which you voluntarily supply us with your Personal Information. The following lists the most common ways in which we collect your Personal Information:
• When you send us a request for more information about the products, services, and information listed on the Website;
• When you send an email to our webmaster, so that we may respond to your message;
• When you register for Subscriptions and Puff Passport entries;
• When you submit employment-related information provided on job applications submitted through the Website or electronically, including for example, job preferences, work history, and other Personal Information;
• When you participate on social media accounts involving SBC;
• When you submit questions, comments, or feedback through the Website, or otherwise, including responses to survey questions; or
• When you submit or knowingly volunteer Personal Information on any other place on the Website, including to further engage with our Website or Services.

Remember that you always have the option not to provide Personal Information by choosing not to use the Website or our Services or by not using the particular feature of the Website for which the information is being collected.

Automatically Collected Information

Some information is automatically received and sometimes collected from you when you visit or use the Website or Services. The following lists the most common information that is automatically received or collected:
• The name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet, including the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the device you are using and/or the IP address of your Internet Service Provider (ISP);
• The type and version of Internet browser software you use and your operating system;
• Websites visited before or after you visit our Website or use our Services;
• The date and time you access the Website, the length of your stay, and the specific pages that you access while visiting the Website; and
• Information concerning the country of origin of your device and the language(s) used by it.
We use this information to monitor the usage of our Website and Services, assess performance, ensure technological compatibility with your device, and understand the relative importance of the information provided on the Website. We may also use this data to conduct statistical analyses on visitors’ usage patterns and other aggregated data. We may collect this information in an anonymous and aggregated format. We may also provide this information to third parties, including advertisers. Remember, though, that this information is not considered Personal Information. If we ever associate Automatically Collected Information with you as a specific and identifiable person, we treat it as Personal Information.

Cookies

When you interact with the Website and Services, we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, “cookie” information, and the page you requested. Cookies and other tracking technologies (such as pixels and beacons) are comprised of small bits of data that often include a de-identified or anonymous unique identifier. Websites, apps and other services send this data to your browser when you first request a web page and then store the data on your computer, so the website can access information when you make subsequent requests for pages from that service. We may use these technologies to collect and store information about your usage of the Website and Services (such as the pages you have visited, content you have viewed, search queries you have run, and advertisements you have seen), which information is then used to understand your preferences so as to enable us to provide you with improved services in future visits, and to compile aggregate data about site traffic and interactions so that we can offer better experiences and tools in the future.

Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies, but you can change your settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, or to block cookies altogether. Please consult the “Help” section of your browser for more information. Please note that by blocking any or all cookies, you may not have access to certain features, content, or personalization available through the Website.

Please note that your internet browser may enable you to send a message requesting that the Website not track your usage. As described, we do use this information in order to determine which pages of the Website you view, and which links you click in order to tailor our content and advertising for you. Therefore, the Website currently does not follow these messages from your browser (but again, you may disable Cookies if you so wish).

Analytics

We, as well as third-party vendors acting on our behalf (such as Google), may use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (such as the Google, Yahoo cookies) or other third-party identifiers to gather anonymous analytics and statistics about our Website and Services and how it is are being used by our visitors so we can improve our Website and Services. Our web server storage logs may collect the domain names, internet protocol addresses, the types of web browsers, and certain data of visitors to the Website.
Data about your activities online may be collected for use within SBC’s internal organization and in providing advertising tailored to your individual interests, either by us, our affiliates, or third parties. We may work with third parties such as network advertisers and ad exchanges to serve advertisements across the internet and may use third party analytics service providers to evaluate and provide us and/or third parties with information about the use of these ads on third party websites and viewing of ads and of our content. Such aggregated information is only shared with third party advertisers on an aggregated and non-personally identifiable basis.
We and these third-party vendors, including Google, may use third-party technologies (such as a Facebook Custom Audience Pixel) together with our own first party technologies in order to analyze ad impressions, your use of ad services, and interactions with these ad impressions and ad services. The information collected may also include information about your visits to our Website, include the pages you have viewed and what content you have seen. These third-party tracking technologies may be set to, among other things: (a) help deliver advertisements to you that you might be interested in; (b) prevent you from seeing the same advertisements too many times; and (c) understand the effectiveness of the advertisements that have been delivered to you.

You can opt out of certain advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative consumer opt out page at http://optout.networkadvertising.org/, by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, or by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page at https://www.aboutads.info/choices. Please note, at this time we do not respond to browser-based “do not track” signals.

When you interact with SBC on or through a social media platform, such as Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, we collect the Personal Information that you make available to us on that page or account, including your user ID and/or username, and any information you have made public in connection with that social media service. Please note, however, that we will comply with the privacy policies of the corresponding social media platform, and we will only collect and store such Personal Information that we are permitted to collect by these social media platforms.
Our Website includes social media widgets, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram widgets.

How We Protect Your Information

SBC takes a range of security measures designed to protect your Information and keep it confidential (unless it is non-confidential by nature, for example, publicly-available information) and free from any unauthorized alteration. However, the internet by its nature is not a secure environment and the nature of security risks is constantly evolving, as are the technical and organizational industry standards relating to management of those risks. While we strive to keep current our security technology and will review, refine and upgrade our security technology as we deem appropriate based on new tools that may become available in the future, the complete security of any information collected, stored or used by us cannot therefore be guaranteed. We have security standards and procedures in place designed to prevent unauthorized access to your Member account and information. A key part of this process helps ensure that all information we have about you is accurate and up-to-date. In the unlikely event that an unauthorized third party compromises SBC’s security measures, SBC will not be responsible for any damages directly or indirectly caused by an unauthorized third party’s ability to view, use or disseminate such information. If you ever discover inaccuracies in our data or in your Personal Information, we urge you to notify us immediately.

You hereby acknowledge that SBC shall not be responsible or liable for any dissemination of your information that results from your disclosure of such information to any third party.

Payments and Credit Card Security

We may provide paid products and/or services within the Services. In that case, we may use third-party services for payment processing (e.g., payment processors), such as PayPal and Venmo.
