WHO WE ARE?
Our website is: www.popnowlights.com
POPNOW is committed to protecting your privacy and providing you with a positive experience while using our websites, products, or services.
POPNOW reserves the right, at any time, to modify this Privacy Policy. If we make revisions that change the way we collect, use, or share personal information, we will post those changes in this Privacy Policy. If we make material changes to our Privacy Policy, we will also notify you via email as well as by posting a notice on our website or sending you a notification via email. You should review this Privacy Policy periodically so that you keep up to date on our most current policies and practices. We will note the effective date of the latest version of our Privacy Policy at the end of this Privacy Policy.
1.Scope
This Privacy Policy provides you with guidance on your rights and obligations in relation to your personal information.
POPNOW's Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) establishes and communicates the key principles that POPNOW follows in protecting the personal information that we collect and process. Please note that some privacy rights and obligations may differ in certain locations based on local law, in which case POPNOW will comply with the local legal requirements. To the extent a notice provided at the time of collection from a website or specific product conflicts with this Privacy Policy, such specific notice or supplemental privacy statement will control.
2.Website Visitors
Like most website operators, POPNOW collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. POPNOW's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how POPNOW's visitors use its website. From time to time, POPNOW may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
POPNOW also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on POPNOWbio.com blogs/sites. POPNOW only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
3. Collection of Personal Information
“Personal information” is any information that can be used to identify an individual, and may include things such as your name, physical address, email address, phone number, login information, marketing preferences, company affiliation, or geographic location. POPNOW may collect personal information that is necessary for legitimate business purposes, which will be disclosed to you at the time of collection. POPNOW will only use this information for the purposes for which it was collected. POPNOW may also collect personal information from trusted third-party sources and engage third parties to collect personal information to assist us. We shall ensure that third parties we use are compliant with EU-US privacy regulations.
One of the most common methods of collecting personal information is during the online form submission or registration process, including where a website user is requesting some information, a courtesy newsletter, registration for an event, or responding to similar offers such as sample reports, white papers, or further product information.
In some instances, POPNOW and the third parties we engage may automatically collect and aggregate data using cookies, weblogs, web beacons, and other similar applications. This information is used to better understand and improve the usability, performance, and effectiveness of our content delivery services and to help us tailor content or offers for you. Please read the “Cookies” section below for more information.
4. Purpose and Use of Personal Information
POPNOW may use your personal information for operational, legal, administrative, and other legitimate purposes permitted by applicable law. Some of the ways we may use personal information include:
Providing you with requested products or services.
Providing you with information regarding similar products or events.
Analyzing and monitoring extent of use.
Providing customized product and service information.
Allowing users to participate voluntarily in mailings or other events.
Providing product service updates, information, and alerts.
Sending communications, including for marketing or other customer satisfaction purposes.
Order processing, and to provide transaction documents.
To contact users for information verification purposes.
5. Right to Access, Correct and Delete Personal Information
We strive to make sure that our information about you is reliable, accurate, and up-to-date. While personal information is maintained by POPNOW, you may access your personal information to the extent required by law to review, update, correct inaccuracies and, as the case may be, delete such personal information, pursuant to applicable regulations. Upon request made to the contact listed below, we will provide you with reasonable access to the personal information we collect about you. Because personal information—for example, your email address—is required to communicate with you, we retain personal information as long as your account is active. You will have the opportunity to correct, transfer, update, modify, or delete this information. You may also limit the use and disclosure of your information by either unsubscribing from marketing communications or contacting us at the address listed below under the section titled “Contact Information” or by emailing opn@popnow.cn. Please note that some information may remain in our records even after you request deletion of your information, to the extent permitted by the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679. Additionally, there may be limits to the amount of information we can practically provide. For example, we may limit access to personal information where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to an individual's privacy or where doing so would violate others' rights.
6. Sharing Personal Information
POPNOW may disclose personal information to its subsidiaries and affiliates.
There may be instances when POPNOW may disclose your personal information without providing you with a choice in order to honor a request that you have made through the products or services; comply with the law or in response to a court order, government request, or other legal process; protect the interests, rights, safety, or property of POPNOW or others; protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; or respond to adverse third parties (i.e., adverse parties and their counsel and other agents) in the context of litigation. In addition, if POPNOW sells all or part of its business or makes a sale or transfer of assets or is otherwise involved in a merger or business transfer, you agree that POPNOW may transfer your personal information to a third party as part of that transaction.
In all cases POPNOW requires all unaffiliated third parties to treat personal information as confidential. POPNOW will not provide personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes without your consent.
If you participate in a discussion forum, chat room, or provide comments related to POPNOW on a social media or other public platform, you should be aware that the information you provide there (i.e., your public profile) will be made broadly available to others, and could be used to contact you, send you unsolicited messages, or for purposes neither POPNOW nor you have control over. Also, please recognize that social media forums and chat rooms not controlled by POPNOW may have additional rules and conditions. POPNOW is not responsible for the personal information or any other information you choose to submit on these forums that are not POPNOW-controlled.
