SECTION 1 – WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
We collect the following data about users: (1) information that you voluntarily submit to us (“User-Supplied Information”); and (2) technical data automatically collected from all visitors to the Trunity Website (described below under “Passive Data Collection”).
User-Supplied Information:
We may collect user-supplied information when you choose to provide us with your personal information via the Trunity Website, including when you purchase products through our online store, send us an email asking a question, register to attend an event, or submit a form to receive information or email newsletters.
Passive Data Collection:
Like most web-based services, we automatically receive and record information in our server logs from your browser when you use the Trunity Website. We may use a variety of methods, including clear GIFs or Pixels (also known as “web beacons”) and “cookies”, to collect this information. We use both session and persistent cookies. The information that we may collect with these automated methods may include, for example, your IP address, cookie information, a unique device or user ID, browser type, system type, the content and pages that you access on the Trunity Website, the frequency and duration of your visits to the Trunity Website, and the “referring URL” (i.e., the page from which you navigated to the Trunity Website). We may also use cookies on the Trunity Website to store session validators on your hard drive. If we directly combine any information gathered through passive means with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information under this Privacy Policy. Otherwise, we use information collected by passive means in aggregated forms.
For additional information about the technologies that we use and how they operate, please see our Cookie Policy below.

We use personal information to establish and enhance our relationship with you. We may use personal information to operate, provide, improve, and maintain the Trunity Website; to prevent abusive and fraudulent use of the Trunity Website; to personalize and display content on the Trunity Website; where permitted by applicable law, to send you information, including via email, about our products and services in which we believe you may be interested; to respond to your inquiries and for other customer service purposes; and for other administrative and internal business purposes.
We may use your e-mail address, including any email address provided at www.truthinunity.com as set forth in the “Communications and Unsolicited Marketing Communications” section.
On the Trunity Website, we may use passively collected data to: (a) remember your information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Trunity Website; and (b) monitor aggregate website usage metrics such as total number of visitors and pages viewed.
SECTION 3 – DISCLOSURE OF COLLECTED INFORMATION
We do not sell or rent email addresses and other personal information that we collect directly through the Trunity Website. Please be aware, however, that any information that you voluntarily choose to display on any publicly available portion of the Trunity Website, or on any service, becomes publicly available and may be collected and used by us or others without restriction. We share your information, including personal information, as follows:
Trunity Service Providers:
We may provide personal information to third parties for their use in performing internal business functions (e.g., maintenance, security, data analysis, email transmission, CRM, database management services, email marketing, surveys, or data hosting) on our behalf. We require such third parties to agree to only use your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and for no other purpose than to provide us with necessary services.
Certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.
Certain providers may be in or have facilities that are in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. If you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
As an example, if you are in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.
Legal Requirements:
We may disclose personal information if we have a good-faith belief that doing so is required by a subpoena or other judicial or administrative order or otherwise required by law. Additionally, we may disclose personal information where we, in good faith, deem it appropriate or necessary to prevent violation of the Trunity Terms of Service, or our other agreements; take precautions against liability; protect the rights, property, or safety of Trunity, any individual, or the general public; maintain and protect the security and integrity of our services or infrastructure; protect ourselves and our services from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful uses; investigate and defend ourselves against third-party claims or allegations; or assist government enforcement agencies.
Aggregate Information and Non-Identifying Information:
We may share aggregated information with clients, prospective clients, partners or the press to demonstrate usage of a service, identify industry and advertising trends, and to generate publicity for Trunity.

You may review information about Google’s privacy practices with respect to Google Analytics at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ .
Links:
When you click on links within the Trunity Website, they may direct you away from our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.
SECTION 7 – E-COMMERCE
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your online purchase, then the payment gateway stores your credit card or account data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our online store and its service providers.
SECTION 8 – SECURITY
To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.
If you provide us with your credit card or account information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with an AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
SECTION 9 – AGE OF CONSENT
By using this site, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence.

COOKIE POLICY
—-
Effective Date: May 24, 2018
Like most web-based services, we may automatically receive and record information when you use the Trunity Website and services. We may use a variety of methods, including clear GIFs (also known as “web beacons”) and “cookies”, to collect this information.
This Cookie Policy aims to inform you about our use of such cookies and clear GIFs but does not govern the use of the Trunity Website nor the processing of personal information on the Trunity Website. The Cookie Policy should therefore be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and the Trunity Terms of Service.
SECTION 1 – COOKIES AND OTHER MEANS OF PASSIVE DATA COLLECTION
In this Cookie Policy, cookies and other automated means (e.g. web beacons) will be jointly referred to as ‘Cookies’ throughout this policy, except as set forth in this section.
This section provides more information about some of those technologies and how they work.
Cookies:
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Most major websites use cookies. Because the browser provides this cookie information to the website at each visit, cookies serve as a sort of label that allows a website to “recognize” a browser when it returns to the website.
Cookies store information about your activities on a website or other platform. For example, cookies can store your session information for easy sign-in to a website or other platform you have previously visited. They enable us to make your use of the Trunity Website and services more enjoyable and to improve the functionality of the service.
Clear GIFs:
Clear GIFs (also known as web beacons) are used in combination with cookies to help website operators understand how visitors interact with their websites. A clear GIF is typically a transparent graphic image (usually 1 pixel x 1 pixel) that is placed on a website. The use of a clear GIF allows the website to measure the actions of the visitor opening the page that contains the clear GIF. It makes it easier to follow and record the activities of a recognized browser, such as the path of pages visited at a website.
Clear GIFs, which can be embedded in web pages, videos, or emails, can allow a web server to read certain types of information from your browser, check whether you have viewed a particular web page or email message, and determine, among other things, the time and date on which you viewed the Clear GIF, the IP address of your computer, and the URL of the web page from which the Clear GIF was viewed.
For more information about cookies and web beacons, please visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/cookies/.
SECTION 2 – WHAT INFORMATION DO WE PASSIVELY COLLECT
The information that we may collect with these automated methods may include, for example, your IP address, cookie information, a unique device or user ID, browser type, system type, the content and pages that you access on the Trunity Website or services, the frequency and duration of your visits, and the “referring URL” (i.e., the page from which you navigated to the Trunity Website). We may also use cookies on the Trunity Website and services to store session validators on your hard drive.
If we directly combine any information gathered through passive means with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information under our Privacy Policy. Otherwise, we use information collected by passive means in aggregated forms.
SECTION 3 – HOW DO WE USE PASSIVELY COLLECTED DATA
We may use passively-collected data to: (a) remember your information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit; (b) monitor your participation in various sections of the Trunity Website; (c) customize our service to you, including by providing you with recommendations; (d) monitor aggregate website usage metrics such as total number of visitors and pages viewed; and (e) administer, operate, and improve the Trunity Website and our other services and systems, and to provide services and content that are tailored to you.
SECTION 4 – WHAT COOKIES DO WE USE AND WHY
Strictly Necessary cookies:
These cookies are used for the sole purpose of (a) saving the answers to consent prompts shown to visitors, or (b) saving visitor session data when logged in to the Trunity Website, or (c) saving visitor shopping cart information while shopping in our online store.
Performance cookies:
These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. it is only used to improve how a website works.
Whether a cookie is considered as a ‘first’ or ‘third party’ cookie refers to the domain placing the cookie. First-party cookies are those cookies set by a website that is being visited by the user at the time (e.g. cookies placed by [ www.truthinunity.com ]). Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than that of the website being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and another entity sets a cookie through that website this would be a third-party cookie.
Session cookies allow website operators to link your actions during a browser session. A browser session starts when you open the browser window and finishes when you close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted. Persistent cookies on the other hand are cookies which remain on your device for the period specified in the cookie. We use both session and persistent cookies.
You can find more information about the individual cookies we use, and the specific purposes for which we use them, in the privacy preference window.
SECTION 5 – HOW TO DISABLE OR REMOVE COOKIES
You can configure your Internet browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies completely or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the website you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions of the Trunity Website.
