Non-Personal Information is gathered automatically each time you visit the Website.

We may disclose the aggregated data to our vendors, such as web hosting services and/or graphic designers, to improve the Website. We may also share the aggregated data with third party service providers, such as online advertisers, to allow them generate contextual advertisements on the Website.

We cannot collect your Personally-Identifiable Information without your consent and participation. You may be required to disclose Personally-Identifiable Information in order to register for an account or transact business on the Website, or you may provide Personally-Identifiable Information by activating certain geolocation and/or activity tracking permissions on the mobile device you use to access the Website.

If you choose to register for an account via the Website, you are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information (i.e., user ID, password and/or challenge questions). We are not liable for any unauthorized disclosure of your Personally-Identifiable Information that results from your failure to adequately protect your account information.

You may cancel your website account at any time by contacting us via email: customersupport@thepplconnect.com.
