How We Use And Share Your Information

To Provide Products, Services, and Information.

As described above, we collect information from you so that we can provide products and services that you request, and provide information that you request from us. We use your personal information to:

  • Contact you about your service requests
  • Perform the services you requested
  • Process credit card / debit card transactions necessary for the services you requested
  • Personalize your experience
  • Improve our services
  • To process your membership fees

We may also use your information to send you information about products, services, and new offerings offered by us or by a Virtual Robins partner through email or through text messages to your mobile phone (if provided). We may also contact you through email when new partners join the Virtual Robins network and for new offers by Virtual Robins partners.

Third Party Access

We may provide information to third party service providers that help us fulfill services that you request from us. We may also use third parties to help host our Site, send out email updates about the Site, provide marketing, analytic, and advertising services for us, remove repetitive information from our user lists, and process payments. These service providers will have access to your personal information in order to provide these services, but when this occurs we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections to limit their use of that information to helping us provide the service.

Advertising

We may use how you browse in order to show you ads for Virtual Robins or Virtual Robins partners that are relevant to your interests and individual needs. We may use cookies and other information to provide relevant interest-based advertising to you. Interest-based ads are ads presented to you based on your browsing behavior in order to provide you with ads more tailored to your interests. These interest-based ads may be presented to you while you are browsing our site or third-party sites not owned by Virtual Robins.

We belong to ad networks that may use your browsing history across participating websites to show you interest-based advertisements on those websites. You can opt-out of receiving interest-based ads from us by changing the settings on your browsers or by visiting Google’s Ads Settings at www.google.com/settings/u/0/ads. Please note that if you choose to opt out, you will continue to see ads on our Site, but they will not be based on how you browse and shop.

Currently, our Site does not recognize if your browser sends a “do not track” signal or similar mechanism to indicate you do not wish to be tracked or receive interest-based ads. We allow third-party publishers across the web to collect information stored in cookies on your computer about your online activities when you leave this Site. To learn more about interest-based advertisements and your opt-out rights and options, visit the Digital Advertising Alliance and the Network Advertising Initiative websites (www.aboutads.info and www.networkadvertising.org). Please note that if you opt-out of receiving interest based advertising, you will still receive ads that will not necessarily be tailored to your interests.

Feedback

Your feedback and suggestions you submit, including feedback or suggestions submitted through online forms, social media sites, or through email, will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary to the extent permitted by law. We may use any of your feedback or suggestions to improve our services or for marketing purposes on our website or on any of our social media sites without any obligation to you.

Statistical Analysis

We may use your information you provide to us through any medium (including emails you delegate us to process on your behalf), combined with other information we may obtain from other sources, to perform statistical, demographic, and marketing analyses of the users of the Virtual Robins services, their service requests patterns, improve our understanding of our customers and potential customers, improve our service, and to improve customer relationships.

Third Party Advertising And Marketing

From time to time with your consent, we may disclose information with Virtual Robins partners who may offer you products and services of interest. You may opt-out of this sharing by Contacting Us. The information we may share with Virtual Robins partners includes your name, address, email address, telephone number, and information about types of services you have requested. We require Virtual Robins partners to agree to reasonable contractual and technical protections to limit their use of that information to their own advertising, and to not further share or distribute your information to non-partner third parties without your consent. If you have consented to our sharing your personal information with these third parties, you may subsequently opt-out by Contacting Us.

Delegation Of Your Inbox And Calendar

In the event you authorize us to access your email or calendar accounts, we will not share their contents with third parties without your consent except as necessary to perform the services requested and as required for Legal Proceedings as described below. We reserve the right to turn over any information related to any potentially illegal activity contained in these accounts to law enforcement for civil and/or criminal penalties. It is solely your responsibility to notify any senders of email or meeting invitations or responses that you have delegated your email and calendar to us and that their emails may be observed by us on your behalf.

Legal Proceedings

We will share personal information with third party companies, organizations or individuals outside of Company if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:

  • Meet any applicable law, regulation, subpoena, legal process or enforceable governmental request
  • Enforce applicable Terms of Use, including investigation of potential violations
  • Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, illegal activity, network security or technical issues concerning our service
  • Protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Company, our users (including you), customers or the public as required or permitted by law

Transfer In The Event Of Sale Or Change Of Control

We do not sell, trade, or transfer your personally identifiable information to third parties except as follows: if the ownership of all or substantially all of our business changes or we otherwise transfer assets relating to our business or the Site to a third party, such as by merger, acquisition, bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, we may share, transfer, or sell your personal information to the new owner. In such a case, unless permitted otherwise by applicable law, your information would remain subject to the promises made in the applicable privacy policy unless you agree differently.

Security Of Your Information

We use industry standard physical, technical and administrative security measures and safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of your personal information. However, since the Internet is not a 100% secure environment, we cannot guarantee, ensure, or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. Although we use industry standard practices to protect your information stored on our servers, there is no guarantee that information, including sensitive personal information, may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. It is your responsibility to protect the security of your login information. Please note that e-mails and other communications you send to us through our Site are not encrypted, and we strongly advise you not to communicate any confidential information through these means.


California Privacy Rights

Under California’s “Shine the Light” law, California residents who provide personal information in obtaining products or services for personal, family or household use are entitled to request and obtain from us once a calendar year information about the customer information we shared, if any, with other businesses for their own direct marketing uses. If applicable, this information would include the categories of customer information and the names and addresses of those businesses with which we shared customer information for the immediately prior calendar year (e.g. requests made in 2015 will receive information regarding 2014 sharing activities).

To obtain this information, please send an email message to info@virtualrobins.com with “Request for California Privacy Information” on the subject line and in the body of your message. We will provide the requested information to you at your e-mail address in response. Please be aware that not all information sharing is covered by the “Shine the Light” requirements and only information on covered sharing will be included in our response.
