PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SERVICES
Transtar, LLC d/b/a Transend (“Transend”) recognizes the importance of your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of Personally Identifying Information we gather when you use any website, application or service made available by Transend (each a “Service”), and how we use that information, as well as some of the steps we take to safeguard it. It is important to review this Privacy Policy in its entirety.
Your privacy on the Internet is important to Transend. As part of the operation of the Services, certain pieces of information are gathered about the users (individually, a “User” and collectively, “Users”). This Privacy Policy contains explanations regarding the types of information collected, what is done with such information, and how to correct or change the information.
GENERAL PRIVACY PRINCIPLES
Identifying Purposes:
“Personally Identifying Information” is information that individually identifies you, such as your name, physical address, credit card number, phone numbers, e-mail address, and any other information that would allow someone to identify or contact you. Transend asks for your Personally Identifying Information so that it can understand your needs and/or to enable, improve, or otherwise modify your use of the Services. Of course, you may choose not to provide Transend with Personally Identifying Information. However, this choice may prevent Transend from providing you with the product, information, or Service you requested or that could be offered to you.
Consent:
Your knowledge and consent are required for the collection, use, or disclosure of your Personally Identifying Information. No Personally Identifying Information is collected without your express consent. By submitting Personally Identifying Information to Transend, you hereby consent to the collection, use, and disclosure by Transend of the Personally Identifying Information that you disclose to Transend.
Limiting Collection:
Transend only collects the information that it needs in order to deliver products, information, and Services to you or as otherwise is beneficial for the operations of the Services or relevant to your use of the Services.
Limiting Use, Disclosure, and Retention:
Transend does not use or disclose your Personally Identifying Information for purposes other than those set forth in this Privacy Policy or as required by law. Your Personally Identifying Information is retained for reasonable periods of time or as required by law.
Accuracy:
You have the right to update, modify, amend, or correct errors in your Personally Identifying Information by contacting Transend.
Safeguards:
Transend protects your Personally Identifying Information by using safeguards that are designed to protect the confidentiality of such information. Unfortunately, neither Transend’s network nor data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect a User’s information, Transend cannot ensure or warrant the security of member information. Thus, any information a User transmits to us is done so at the User’s own risk.
Online Tracking:
The Services do not respond to Do Not Track signals. Third parties may collect Personally Identifying Information about you when you use a Service.
Accountability and Compliance:
You may address any question regarding Transend’s compliance with this Privacy Policy to the e-mail address set forth in this Privacy Policy.
