Valassis Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) applies to the Valassis mobile application(s) (the “Mobile Application(s)”), the Valassis Facebook application(s) (the “Facebook Application(s)”) and the Valassis website(s) identified below (the “Site(s),” and collectively with the Mobile Application(s) and the Facebook Application(s), the “Valassis Properties”) which Valassis Properties are developed, maintained and operated by Valassis Communications, Inc. (US) (“Valassis”).

General

This Privacy Policy outlines the information that Valassis collects through the Valassis Properties and how Valassis will use that information. Except as otherwise provided, Valassis owns, controls or licenses all aspects of the Valassis Properties.

Valassis respects the privacy of every individual who uses or visits the Valassis Properties. This Privacy Policy will instruct you on how you can verify the accuracy of your personally identifiable information submitted to Valassis through the Valassis Properties and how you can request that we delete your personally identifiable information from our databases.

Valassis reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove any portion of this Privacy Policy in whole or in part, at any time. Changes will be effective for each Valassis Property when notice of such change is posted on such Valassis Property. Your continued use of the Valassis Properties after any changes are posted shall be considered acceptance of those changes. By using any of the Valassis Properties, you agree that you have reviewed and understand the applicable Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy, that you accept and are subject to such Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy and that Valassis may use your information as set forth below.

This Privacy Policy does not cover the collection or use of information on or through other Valassis mobile applications or web sites or in connection with other Valassis products or services. If you use other Valassis web sites or mobile applications or take advantage of other Valassis products or services, you should review our privacy policies applicable to those sites, products and/or services, as our information collection and sharing policies vary

Personally Identifiable Information

When you visit Save.com's website, we will not collect any personally identifiable information about you (such as your name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address) unless you provide it to us voluntarily.

Collection of Non-Personally-Identifiable Information on the Site(s)

We automatically collect certain information when you use the Valassis Properties. For example, we may collect identifying information that allows us to track the number of users of the Valassis Properties and the way they navigate through the Valassis Properties. The types of identifying information collected may include the date and time you use the Valassis Property, the coupon or coupons you access, the search terms that you use, as well as, as applicable, the IP address, mobile carrier, type of device, operating software and browser or application being used to access or use the Valassis Property. In additional, in some of our email messages to you, we may use a "click-through URL." When you click one of these URLs, you pass through our web server before arriving at the web site that is your destination. We track click-throughs to help us determine your interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications.

If you use or visit one of our Valassis Properties, we may use cookies and other technologies, like pixel tags, may also allow third parties, such as advertisers, to place cookies and other technologies, like pixel tags, on your device. Cookies are pieces of information generated by web servers and stored in your device for future access. Cookies can securely store a user's password, your loyalty card account numbers, personalize a Valassis Property, and identify which parts of a Valassis Property have been used by you. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your device or capture your e-mail address. Cookies allow us and our business partners to tailor the advertisements and offers on the Valassis Properties to better match your interests and preferences.

We only use "cookies" to gather the information indicated in this Privacy Policy and do not use cookies to gather personal identifying information about you without your consent. Although Valassis does not collect personally identifiable information automatically, we may tie information collected automatically to your previously submitted personally identifiable information. Other companies’ use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies and not this Privacy Policy.

With your permission, the Valassis Properties may collect geo-location information from your device. We may use geo-location information to tailor the advertisements and offers on the Valassis Properties to better match your interests and preferences.

We may use IP addresses, geo-location information and anonymous demographic information in the aggregate to share with advertisers and market researchers to improve the design of the Valassis Properties to better serve our customers and otherwise for Valassis business purposes. We may also share this aggregated information with other third parties. While it is possible to correlate this information to particular individuals, we do not generally do so for information collected on the Valassis Properties; however, we reserve the right to drill down into anonymous demographic information or otherwise correlate it to particular individuals in order to investigate unlawful conduct and/or breaches of any of our Terms of Use.

Personally Identifiable Information

When you use the Valassis Properties, we will not collect any personally identifiable information about you (such as your name, e-mail address, postal address, home or work telephone number or loyalty account numbers)(“Personal Data”) unless you provide it to us voluntarily. You supply us your Personal Data when you take an action such as registering to use a Valassis Property, using a Facebook Application hosted by Valassis, requesting information or otherwise voluntarily supply your Personal Data to us.

We may collect your “Personal Data” for our business purposes, including, but not limited to, processing your requests and transactions, corresponding with you regarding coupons, announcements, promotions, offering or furnishing additional products and services, personalizing the types of information you receive from Valassis, assessing trends in your use of the Valassis Properties or purchases of products or services, developing content and functionality that helps us better serve your needs, improving the service and products we provide and engaging in advertising and marketing activities. If we collect your Personal Data, as described in this Privacy Policy, we may use that Personal Data to communicate with you by email, telephone or otherwise. There are instances where you will have the opportunity to subscribe to an e-mail list that will send information about the site or our advertisers to your e-mail address, but this will be done only with your permission and consent.

Use of Personally Identifiable Information

If you choose to give us Personal Data so that we or our business partners can correspond with you, it is our intent to let you know how we will use such information. Your information may be shared with affiliates, agents, contractors or other third parties of Valassis in connection with services that these individuals or entities perform for the Valassis Properties. At times we may be required by law or legal process to disclose your personal information.

We may also disclose information about you if we believe that disclosure is necessary for the public interest. We may release Personal Data in order to comply with requests from law enforcement and government agencies, to enforce the Terms of Use and other agreements, and to protect customers and others. We may do so when we believe in good faith that disclosing this information is otherwise necessary or advisable, including, for instance, to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interfering with the rights or property of Valassis, another user or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.

Valassis may transfer any information in its databases, including, but not limited to, Personal Data, to an affiliate or to a third party as part of a transfer of business assets. In addition, if Valassis is operating a Valassis Property, such as a Facebook Application, on behalf of a third party, the third party may have access to, and the right to use, all Personal Data and other information collected through your use of the Facebook Application, subject to the restrictions on use described in this Privacy Policy. Except as expressly provided in this Privacy Policy, Valassis will not intentionally share with any third party Personal Data that you provided through the Valassis Properties.

Even after you cease using any Facebook Application or Mobile Application or Valassis ceases making available any Facebook Application or Mobile Application for your use, Valassis and its business partners may retain information collected through such Facebook Application or Mobile Application and continue using such information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Security

Valassis places safeguards on the Valassis Properties designed to protect against loss, misuse, unauthorized access to, and alteration of, sensitive Personal Data you send us with physical, electronic and administrative procedures.

Valassis is committed to keeping secure the data you provide us and will take reasonable precautions to protect your personally identifiable information from loss, misuse or alteration. Agents or contractors of Valassis who have access to your Personal Data in connection with providing services for the Valassis Properties are required to keep the information confidential and are not permitted to use this information for any other purpose than to carry out the services they are performing using the Valassis Properties.

Although Valassis uses such safeguards, Valassis does not make any warranty, express, implied or otherwise that Valassis will be able to prevent loss, misuse, unauthorized access to, and alteration of, Personal Data or information you transmit to us or from the Valassis Properties or store on you device. You make any disclosure of Personal Data to Valassis at your own risk. We urge you to take every precaution to protect your Personal Data when you are on the Internet or storing such information on your device.

Valassis may provide links to third-party web sites for your convenience. Valassis does not endorse and is not responsible for any third party web sites, products, services or business practices.
