Privacy Policy

Last updated and effective as of August 12, 2021 This Privacy Policy applies to the website and platform provided at www.planhub.com (the “Site”) and the services provided at app.planhub.com (the “App”, and, collectively with the Site, the “Services”). This Privacy Policy describes how PlanHub Inc. (“PlanHub”), the operator of the Services, collects, protects, and uses information we receive from visitors to and users of the Services. This Privacy Policy has been created in order to inform and demonstrate to you our firm commitment to privacy and to outline how we deal with any personal data you provide while using the Site. If you do not agree with any portion of this Privacy Policy, you should not use the Services. This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the Services, as well as information collected offline (for example, during a telephone call with our personnel). This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected through any other websites (even if affiliated with PlanHub or linked to by the Services). PlanHub affiliates and subsidiaries may have their own subdomains and websites that may not be subject to this Privacy Policy. PlanHub business partners, ad networks, and other third parties have their own websites and privacy practices. We encourage you to read the privacy notices of all websites you visit to understand their privacy practices and your options. Any password-protected areas of the Services may be subject to additional terms or agreements with us. POLICY STATEMENT The Information We Collect and How We Use Your Information In order to make our Services more useful to our users, we collect information in a variety of ways, as outlined in this Privacy Policy. There are two kinds of information that websites can obtain about you: (A) Anonymous Information and (B) Personal Information. (A) “Anonymous Information” is data in a form that does not permit direct association with any specific individual. Anonymous Information is aggregate data that websites use to administer their sites. This Anonymous Information comprises information that cannot be used to identify or contact you. PlanHub may from time to time retain third parties to help us collect and aggregate information from the Services. (B) “Personal Information” is information that identifies, relates to, describes, can reasonably be associated with, or can reasonably be linked to a particular individual, household, or entity and also includes any information you may provide to PlanHub when registering for the Services. We collect information from you both when you provide it voluntarily and also automatically when you use our Services. We may also collect Personal Information associated with you from users that are registered for our services. For more information about the types of your Personal Information that we may use and how we use your Personal Information, see the detailed description below.

The Services use cookies, unique identifiers and similar technologies to collect information over time and across different websites when you use or visit the Services. We or our third-party partners use common tracking tools to collect information about the pages you view, our website functions that you access, the buttons and icons you click, and to remember your login information and website settings to make it easier and more efficient for you to use the Services, and to provide advertising content that we think may be of interest to you. Cookies. Cookies are small data files that are downloaded onto your computer or mobile device when you use the Services, which are unique to your device or account.  Cookies make it easier for you to use the Services by saving your preferences so that we can use these to improve your next and subsequent visits to the Services – for example, remembering your session, application settings, and configuration choices. Cookies help us learn which areas of the Services are useful and which areas need improvement. Cookies may be either persistent or temporary (or session) cookies. A persistent cookie retains user preferences for a particular website, app or service, allowing those preferences to be used in future use sessions and remains valid until its set expiry date (unless deleted by the user before the expiry date). A temporary cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed. You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings on your browser or device.  However, if you choose to disable this function, your experience with the Services may be impaired and some features may not work as they were intended. When we use cookies or other similar technologies, we may set the cookies ourselves or ask third parties to do so to help us.

SECURITY Security of information communicated by or to us over the Internet is of utmost concern to us; however, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. The Services incorporate reasonable safeguards to protect the security, integrity, and privacy of the Personal Information we have collected. Please do not use email to communicate information to us that you consider confidential. While we strive to protect your Personal information, PlanHub cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or through the Services.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY The Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”) defines a “Child” (or “Children” as used herein) as anyone under the age of 13. PlanHub strictly adheres to COPPA. For that reason, we do not collect or maintain information obtained through the Services from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of the Services are structured to attract anyone under 13. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 13 years old. If you do not meet this age requirement, then you must not access or use the Services. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Child has provided us Personal Information, please contact us though one of the methods listed under “Contacting PlanHub”, below. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from Children without verification of parental consent, we take reasonable steps to remove that information from our servers. For more information about the COPPA, which applies to websites that direct their services to children under the age of thirteen (13), please visit the Federal Trade Commission’s website https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/complying-coppa-frequently-asked-questions.
