Privacy Shield Policy / Privacy Policy
West Riverside Labs Inc. values privacy – ours and yours. To help maintain your privacy and the security of your personal information, we communicate this and all of our privacy policies to West Riverside Labs Inc. employees and agents, and we internally enforce privacy safeguards. We are also self-certified as Privacy Shield compliant (as detailed below) – a further indication of our commitment to the privacy of all of our customers around the globe.
We’ve developed this Privacy Policy to explain how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store information received from you in connection with the Sites. Before disclosing information to us, please familiarize yourself with our privacy practices so you can understand how your information may be used by West Riverside Labs Inc.
Our Collection and Use of Information:
West Riverside Labs Inc. may collect information in some ways from users who access our Sites or services. We collect personal and non-personal information in various ways. You may provide your information to us to receive a product, service, or communication from us, we may request your information to better serve you, or we may require your information to be able to complete a transaction (e.g. a purchase) or provide access (e.g. to a paid service).
A. Collection of Personal Information
Personal information (or “Personally Identifiable Information” or “PII”) is information and data that can be used to specifically identify or contact a single person.
You may be asked to provide your personal information when you contact West Riverside Labs Inc. for any reason. West Riverside Labs Inc. may share your personal information internally. If we do, we will use it following this Privacy Policy. We may also combine personal information with other information to help us develop or improve our products, services, content, communications, and/or advertising, or to provide improved user experiences for you.
Personal information we collect:
Examples of some types of personal information West Riverside Labs Inc. may collect in connection with the Sites and how we may use it include the following:
-
When you purchase, register, or log in to use software, products, or services, request support, download a software update, register for a webinar, live workshop, or training, provide feedback on a software product, or participate in a promotion, contest or online survey, or respond to an advertisement, we may collect a variety of information, including your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, contact preferences, and/or social media credentials. West Riverside Labs Inc. does not directly collect credit card numbers in connection with the websites provided in connection therewith. Payments for those products/services are made through other means or sites and thus we do not collect or store credit card numbers in connection with any of those products/services that this Policy applies to.
-
If you use our websites, we may collect information required to provide the services in connection with such services including PII such as your name, email address, IP address, and current location. We may also collect certain personally identifying financial information (“PIFI”) in connection with the shopping cart. Such PIFI may include your credit card number (or a portion thereof), the expiration date for the credit card, and bank information such as your bank’s name, routing number, and/or account information. This information in some cases may only be stored temporarily, or transiently, e.g. during a particular secure session between your computer and a West Riverside Labs Inc. server.
-
We may also ask for certain information only in circumstances where required by law. For example, if you are using the shopping cart, where we are required when setting up certain financial accounts to obtain e.g. your Social Security number (SSN), then we will ask for it. As above, such information may only be stored transiently, during a secure session.
How we use your personal information

Our response(s) to any such legal process will be handled on a case-by-case basis following the advice of our attorneys.
B. Collection of Non-Personal Information
Information of a type or in a form that does not permit direct identification of or association with any specific individual is ‘non-personal information.’ Combinations of personal and non-personal information are considered personal information if the combined information can be used to identify or contact any specific individual(s). Aggregated data is considered non-personal information for this Privacy Policy as long as it cannot be used to identify or contact any specific individual. Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and certain other identifiers may be considered personal information under various local laws; we endeavor to comply with the laws and regulations that apply to us.
How we collect and use your non-personal information
We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose.
The following are some examples of non-personal information that we collect and how we may use it:
-
We may collect non-personal information (e.g. demographic information) regarding our customers collectively including information such as age, gender, occupation, preferred language, zip code, Postal Code, area code, geographic location, or the time zone from which customers access the Sites, products, or services. Such non-personal information is used so that we can better understand who our customers are, and their behavior generally with regards to the Sites, and to improve our software, products, services, communications, support, help, user experiences, and advertising for our customers.
-
We also may collect non-personal information regarding customer activities on the Sites or use of the West Riverside Labs Inc. software, products, and services. This information is aggregated and used to help us provide more useful information to our customers and to understand which parts of the Sites, or our software, products, and services are of most interest or which can be improved. Non-personal support or help request data may be used to improve our software or the Sites, communications, and user interfaces, or to allow us to provide additional product or service offerings to our present or future customers.
-
We may collect non-personal information regarding the digital footprints of our customers to accessing the Sites, or any related software, products, or services including mobile and non-mobile access, specific types of devices being used, unique device IDs, type of browser(s) being used, networks that our customers use, and other non-personal information.

These technologies help us to know which parts of the Sites people have visited, and provide data to aid us in understanding the effectiveness of the software services, our advertisements, and web searches. These data are used to improve our software, products, services, communications, and advertisements. We generally consider such information collected through the use of cookies and other technologies as non-personal information and treat it accordingly.
We also use cookies and other technologies to remember personal information when you use the Sites, software, products, or services. These uses are intended to improve your personal experience.

West Riverside Labs Inc. may use cookies or other technologies in connection with certain advertising services to determine your experience with our content including whether an ad is likely to be of interest to you, whether or not you are served a particular ad, and the number of times you are served a particular ad. These technologies allow us to measure the effectiveness of our ad campaigns. You may have options for opting out of such targeted ads. You should contact your service provider or your mobile provider to inquire about how to do so.
West Riverside Labs Inc. also uses specific technologies in connection with certain communications such as emails that may be used to track actions by recipients. For example, these communications may include one or more clickable text or graphics that include URLs that link to content on the Sites. However, these URLs may pass through a web server that tracks the click before arriving at the linked content on the Sites. The tracked data can help West Riverside Labs Inc. determine the effectiveness of our communications to users and customers or to gauge interest in specific topics. If you prefer not to have your responses to such communications tracked in this manner, do not click links in the email messages. Such communications may also include pixel tags that can tell us whether e.g. an email has been opened. We may use this information to throttle the number of messages sent to users or customers or to remove people who do not read or interact with our communications from one or more lists.
Cookies and other technologies can generally be controlled on your devices. If you want to disable cookies you should review your privacy or security settings. Please note that certain features of the Sites or related software, products, or services may not be available if you have cookies disabled on your device. We will typically try to warn you that a page or feature you are trying to reach will not function without cookies enabled. If you have your cookies on your device or browser disabled and are having difficulties you may wish to enable them to see if the problem is resolved.

The information we receive or collect from such social media, and our ability to collect it, may depend on the social media site, its policies, and its requirements or its technology. We may collect the information you provide from these social media interactions and may use it for various purposes to improve our services or your experience or to contact you regarding the reason you connected with us or with additional offers in the future.
