Updated 18 September 2024
THIS DATA PRIVACY POLICY (“Policy”) exists as an agreement between 14R GROUP, INC., a Colorado corporation (“14r”), and every client (“Client”) that signs a contract with 14r. The Policy also exists as an informative document to visitors describing the way that 14r handles data.
1. INTRODUCTION. 14r is dedicated to protecting Client personal information and informing Client about how any data or personal information is used. From time to time, 14r may review and update this Policy.
2. INFORMATION COLLECTED. 14r does not collect Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”). PII is information that can be used to identify an individual personally. Non-personally identifiable information is information that must be combined with other information to identify an individual personally.
3. ANONYMIZED DATA. 14r requires that any user data shared by a Client for targeting purposes, must be anonymized by aggregation or hashing. 14r cannot accept Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) on Client leads or customers. Once such PII data has been anonymized, it cannot be traced back to the users.
4. USE OF CLIENT-SUPPLIED DATA. 14r will never sell Client data and will restrict use of Client information to that Client’s campaigns. Client agrees not to send PII, and only to send 14r data that has been hashed or encrypted. Client acknowledges that 14r may also use the data in the following ways:
a. To provide any services offered under contract,
b. To enhance or improve end users’ experiences,
c. To contact Client via email or other electronic communications,
d. To notify Client of additional 14r services and updates,
e. To process Client transactions, and
f. To share Client information with third party partners or third parties hired by 14r to perform functions and provide services for us on Client’s behalf.
5. COOKIES AND TRACKING. 14r uses platforms which leverage cookies to remember users and to understand preferences and some third-party cookies integrated into 14r services may track user usage information and interactions. Some features of 14r proprietary technology set browser cookies to group users with shared interests (source: 14r-group.com). If cookies are disabled in a user’s web browser some services delivered by 14r may not work as expected.
6. THIRD PARTY ACCESS TO CLIENT INFORMATION. Although Client is entering into an agreement with 14r, 14r may use third party individuals and organizations to assist with delivering services, including contractors, platforms, and others to deliver exceptional digital services. 14r may share Client information with third parties in the execution of digital advertising. Throughout the provision of services to Client, 14r may delegate authority to collect, access, use, and disseminate Client information. It is therefore necessary that Client extends the third parties 14r may use in the course of business the same rights that Client affords 14r under this Policy. Client hereby agrees that for every authorization granted to 14r in this Policy is also granted to any third party that 14r may hire, contract, or otherwise retain the services of for the purpose of operating, maintaining, or servicing underlying technology. Client agrees not to hold 14r liable for the actions of any of these third parties, and that Client must take legal action against them directly should a third party commit any tort or other actionable wrong against Client.
7. LAW ENFORCEMENT. Client agrees that 14r may disclose Client information to authorities if compelled to by a court order. Additionally, Client agrees that 14r may disclose Client information if 14r reasonably believes that Client has violated US laws, the terms of our Terms of Service or this Policy, or if 14r believes that a third party is at risk of bodily or economic harm. In the event that 14r receives a subpoena affecting Client privacy, 14r may elect to notify Client allowing an opportunity to file a motion to quash the subpoena, or 14r may attempt to quash it ourselves, but 14r is not obligated to do either. 14r may also proactively report Client and release information without receiving any request to third parties where 14r believes that it is proper to do so for legal reasons, where Client actions violate any law of the United States or any other country having jurisdiction over 14r. Client releases 14r from any damages that may arise from or relate to the release of Client information to a request from law enforcement agencies or private litigants. 14r may release Client information under the conditions listed in this paragraph whether it is to individuals or entities and to any state or federal authorities, as required.
8. SECURITY MEASURES. 14r makes reasonable attempts to protect Client information by using physical and electronic safeguards. However, 14r can make no guarantees as to the absolute security or privacy of Client information. For this reason, 14r recommends Clients use anti-virus software, perform routine credit checks, enable firewalls, and take other precautions to protect data from security and privacy threats.
9. MERGER AND ACQUISITION. In the event that 14r is involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, Client information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction. Please be aware that once the information is transferred Client privacy rights may change.
10. CONTACT INFORMATION. If Client or visitor has any questions or requires additional information related to our data privacy practices, please contact 14r at support@14r-group.com. When visitors submit an inquiry on the 14r site, 14r collects the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
11. AMENDMENTS. 14r may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. When 14r amends this Policy, 14r will modify the date listed on this Policy and shall notify Client within 10 days of the update. Client must agree to the Policy amendments as a condition of continued use of 14r services. Client’s continued use of 14r services following the notice of Policy updates constitutes acceptance of such changes.
