Welcome to AdviAlly
Privacy Policy
Effective date: April 7, 2020
Your privacy is also our concern!
AdviAlly.com ("AdviAlly", "We", "Us", or "Our") is sensitive to your concerns about how we use the personal information we collect from you through AdviAlly's website (the "Site")
and other plug-ins exchanging information with AdviAlly ("Applications"). (The Site and Applications are sometimes collectively referred to as "Online Services" for simplicity.)
AdviAlly takes your privacy seriously, and has implemented this privacy policy (the "Privacy Policy") and internal policies and practices to keep your personal and financial
information secure. The Privacy Policy covers AdviAlly's treatment of the Personally Identifiable Information we collect when you use the Online Services. It also describes the
choices available to you regarding our use of your personal information and how you can access and update this information. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into our Terms of
Use, and therefore governs your use of the Online Services. By using AdviAlly Online Services, you accept the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you have questions or concerns
about the Privacy Policy, please contact Customer Service at [email protected]
What Information Do We Collect About Our Customers?
Traffic Data
AdviAlly may collect a variety of visitor data such as IP addresses, browser settings, internet service provider (ISP) information, referring/exit pages, operating systems, date/time
stamps, and clickstream data (collectively "Visitor Data"). The AdviAlly internal servers and software automatically recognize Visitor Data. The Site may use Visitor Data to compile
traffic data about the types of visitors who use the Site at specific intervals (collectively "Traffic Data"). We may use Traffic Data to analyze Site traffic, but this information is not
examined for Personally Identifiable Information. We may also use Traffic Data to diagnose problems with our server, administer our Site, or display content according to your preferences.
Visitor Data and Traffic Data may also be shared with business partners, affiliates, or advertisers on an aggregated and anonymous basis.
Cookies
AdviAlly and its partners may use the standard cookie feature of major browser applications and third-party providers, including Google Analytics features (Remarketing, Google Display
Network Impression Reporting, the DoubleClick Campaign Manager Integration and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting), or employ internally developed cookies and tracking codes,
that allow AdviAlly to store a small piece of data on a visitor's computer, or any other device a visitor uses to access Online Services, about his or her visit to the Site or use of
Applications. AdviAlly does not capture Personally Identifiable Information in cookies or use cookies to mine Personally Identifiable Information. You can remove persistent cookies by
following directions provided in your Internet browser’s “help” directory. If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some areas of our site will be limited.

Web Beacons
We employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. web beacons), that help us track referrals from our partners and affiliates and better manage content on our site.
Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored
on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not tie the information gathered by
clear gifs to our customers’ Personally Identifiable Information.
3rd Party Tracking
The use of tracking technologies by our service providers, technology partners or other 3rd party assets (such as social media links) on the site is not covered by our Privacy Policy. These
3rd parties may use cookies, clear gifs, images, and scripts to help them better manage their content on our site. We do not have access or control over these technologies. We do not tie the
information gathered to our Customers’ or Users’ Personally Identifiable Information.
Personal Information
AdviAlly requires each customer to provide us with personal information (collectively "Personally Identifiable Information") to access and use AdviAlly products and services. Personally
Identifiable Information is captured when a visitor accesses Online Services, or speaks on the phone with a AdviAlly employee, and willingly discloses that information. This disclosure may
occur when a visitor registers with an Online Service, engages in transactions, contacts customer service, or participates in contests, promotions, surveys, forums, content submissions, requests
for suggestions, or other aspects of services offered by Us. AdviAlly uses this information for the sole purpose of administering its services for our customers, and does not use
such information for any other reason.
Personally Identifiable Information includes but is not limited to:
- "Contact Data" (such as your name, address, city, state, zip code, phone number, and email address);
- "Financial Data" (such as your credit card number, expiration date, and verification code or bank account information);
- "Demographic Data" (such as your zip code and sex);
- other "Legal Data" (such as your social security number, mortgage information, and other sensitive information necessary to use our service.
Testimonials and Reviews
We display personal testimonials of satisfied customers received through email surveys. We ask for your specific consent as part of the survey. If you wish to update or delete your testimonial,
you can contact us at [email protected]. If you provide a review that we display and wish to update or delete it, you can also
contact us at [email protected].
Calls/Electronic Communications
In the regular course of our business, AdviAlly may monitor and record phone conversations or email communications between you and AdviAlly employees for training and quality assurance
purposes. We may receive a confirmation when you open or click on content in an email from us, which helps us make our communications to you more useful and interesting. If you do not wish to
receive email from AdviAlly, you may unsubscribe from our mailing list by using the "Unsubscribe" link on any of the emails we send.
How Do We Use the Information We Collect and Do We Share the Information We Receive?
We use information we collect from the Online Services to communicate with you, process your orders, facilitate your transactions with our third-party marketing partners, and inform you
of offers and discounts. For example, you may receive a welcome email that confirms your username and password, and later receive communications responding to your inquiries, providing
services you request, and managing your account. We occasionally send service-related announcements, for example, to alert you if we need to temporarily suspend the Site for maintenance.
Opting Out
AdviAlly send promotional emails and newsletters from time to time to users who have registered on the site and to those who have opted in to receive such emails. Generally, you may not
opt-out of service-related or transactional communications, which are not promotional. If you do not wish to receive service-related communications, you may terminate your account by contacting
Customer Service at [email protected]. However, you can opt-out of promotional communications by using the "Unsubscribe" link
and following the unsubscribe instructions in any electronic communication or by emailing us at [email protected].
Surveys, Sweepstakes, and Contests
We may provide you the opportunity to participate in surveys on our site, to measure customer satisfaction. If you participate, we may request certain personally identifiable information from
you. Participation in these surveys, sweepstakes, or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information
typically includes name, email address, and mailing address.We use this information to notify contest winners and award prizes, to monitor site traffic or personalize the site, and/or to send participants an email newsletter.
We may use a third party service provider to conduct these surveys or contests; that company will be prohibited from using our users’ personal information for any other purpose. We will not share the personal information you provide through a contest or survey with other third parties unless we give you prior notice and choice.
We share customer information with third parties only as follows:
- Order Processing

- Third Party Marketing
- Unless specifically authorized by you, we do not provide Personally Identifiable Information to third parties for marketing purposes.

- Visitor Demographics
- Contact Data and Traffic Data are used to gather general statistics about our customers and visitors.

- Service Providers
- We may share your Personally Identifiable Information with companies that provide support services to us (such as a printer or email service provider), help us market our products and services, or for training purposes. These companies may need information about you in order to perform their functions. These companies are not authorized to use the information we share with them for any other purpose.
