Privacy Statement

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Protect Property Inspections LLC. (aka: Protect Property Inspections or PPI). We believe it is important to protect the privacy of our customers and guests and to be transparent with our practices. We know that you care about how your personal information is collected, used, and shared and we want to help you make knowledgeable choices about the information you provide to us. This Privacy Statement (“Privacy Statement”) explains and summarizes how PPI collects, uses, and protects your information, including the personal information that you may provide to us or that we may collect from you as you interact with us. We will update this Privacy Statement from time to time, so please check back with us periodically.

This Privacy Statement applies when PPI collects data from customers and guests, including through PPI controlled websites or applications, and PPI controlled applications accessed and/or used on a mobile, handheld or other wirelessly connected device (a “Website” or “Application”). Any Personal Information you provide is voluntary. “Personal Information” includes information that alone or when in combination with other information may be used to readily identify, contact, or locate you (e.g., name, address, telephone number, email address, and location). By disclosing your Personal Information to us or using our Websites or Applications, you consent to its collection and use by PPI consistent with applicable data protection law and this Privacy Statement (which is expressly incorporated into any applicable Website or Application terms of use).

This Privacy Statement explains the information practices of PPI including:

How PPI uses the personal information you share with us and that we learn about you because of our relationship.
How PPI uses “cookies” and related information collected (if at all) when you use our Website or Applications.
What personal information, if any, PPI may share about you and the conditions we use to protect your information if it must be shared.
The kind of security measures PPI takes to protect your information from accidental loss or disclosure.
How PPI will inform you in the event of a security breach.
The process through which you can access personal information you share with Protect Property Inspections and have that Personal Information corrected, restricted, or removed from our records.
Other things you should know about Protect Property Inspections and privacy.

COLLECTED INFORMATION AND USE

Protect Property Inspections does not collect or use the information you provide to us, for any purpose other than your current transaction or submission to receive our newsletters, email, etc.. We may use or share your Personal Information where it is necessary for us to complete a transaction or do something that you have asked us to do, like to “get a quote” or to “find a dealer” or to send you products or vehicle information. We may also use this information for our internal research purposes as we develop our products and services. We may use Personal Information and data collected for our advertising or marketing purposes including on other websites or media and we may communicate with you to provide you with information we think may be of interest to you.

If you make a request for information, for example, we might need to provide your name, address, or email to one of our distributors or a service provider with whom we have a relationship so that they can help us respond to you. PPIvendors/distributors/suppliers may process your personal data under the direction of PPI and in accordance with our policies.

We collect and use information from you in certain ways including:

Website or Application Usage. We (or our service providers) may observe your activities, preferences, and transactional data (such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address and browser type) as well as pages you have viewed during your use of our Website or Application. We may use this data for any purpose unless we tell you otherwise in connection with a particular Website or Application. While we may collect or log this information, we do not identify you except if we believe doing so will help us better respond to a request you have made such as for a quote, identification of a local dealer, or similar request. With the exception of Location-Data, described below, where such non-Personal Information is linked to your Personal Information we will treat such information as Personal Information.

Location Data. Some PPI Websites or Applications may capture and record certain location-data regarding your use of that Website or Application and your travels in order to provide location-related functionality (“Location Data”). We may link that Location Data to other information that you provide to us or that may be accessed in connection with your use of such a PPI Website or Application. Your use of, and our ability to offer location-based functionality is then enabled through our use and disclosure to third parties of Location Data and associated information.

E-Commerce. When you interact with us or purchase a product online (for example, to get a quote) you will be asked for the information needed to complete your request. The information you provide is used, for example, to process your transactions, to create and share reports about these transactions, or to provide related customer service. When you shop online or buy direct from PPI, these purchase transactions may be conducted through PPI vendors, distributor, or suppliers. Vendors, distributors, and suppliers engaged by PPI may have their use of your Personal Information limited by this Privacy Statement, contractual restrictions, or applicable law. However, if a particular Website or Application is co-branded or developed by a third party, it is possible that another party’s Privacy Statement will govern the treatment of information on that Website or Application. PPI (through its vendors, distributors or suppliers) may limit the acceptance of orders to particular jurisdictions and as permitted by applicable law.

Product Registration and Support. Protect Property Inspections may allow customers to register online. Personal Information provided for such purposes may be used to carry out the request, service, or agreement for which the information is submitted. With your consent, we may also use the information you provide in online registration forms to notify you periodically about important things like an update to the Application, a change to our Privacy Statement or notice of a security breach, new PPI products and services, and special offers and promotions that may be of interest to you. Failure to register any PPI product will not diminish the rights you have under the applicable product warranty.

Events and Promotions. You may be asked to provide an email address or other Personal Information at an event or for entry into a particular promotion (including sweepstakes and contests). The specific rules and regulations governing promotions will vary and your participation constitutes your agreement to abide by those rules and regulations.

Certain promotions may be run by a PPI service provider, distributor or vendor or be co-branded with one of our partners or run on a third-party site like Facebook or Instagram. In these instances, the collection of your Personal Information may occur directly by the service provider or vendor or by a third-party partner on their website. The promotion will state the policies governing the collection of such information if they should differ from this Privacy Statement.

NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION, COOKIES, AND RELATED INFORMATION COLLECTION

Cookies and Related Technologies. Cookies are small lines of text/data that are written onto your computer by a website. Protect Property Inspections or others acting on our behalf may use cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, or other similar technologies in connection with the operation of our Websites or Applications. These technologies may collect and store non-Personal Information. We utilize these technologies to research and understand how our Websites and Applications are used, to develop our products and services, to personalize your online experience with PPI, and for general advertising and marketing purposes. We may share data collected from you on our Websites with our third-party distributors, vendors, or suppliers to advertise or market to you on other sites as you browse the web. At the end of your visit, session cookies used by PPI are removed. However, in some instances, some PPI cookies may persist. For example, to customize your experience we may require registration to recognize your computer and save your previously selected settings or vehicle options. It is possible that Cookies placed by PPI or its vendors or suppliers (as applicable) in connection with the operation of the Website or Application may remain stored on your computer until you remove them or until they expire.

Our service providers, distributors, or vendors may also use cookies and related technologies in order to personalize your experiences and adapt a particular PPI Website or Application’s functionality to your preferences and for purposes such as those listed above. If you are visiting a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) other than our brand websites or other PPI Websites or Applications, you should carefully review the privacy policies of those websites or applications. You may set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or to refuse to receive it. You should be aware that this may interfere with or make you unable to use certain functionality on websites using cookies. Disabling or removing cookies may require you to manually log on each time you wish to visit that website.

Do Not Track (DNT). Because there is no common understanding about how websites should handle “do not track” signals (DNT), PPI currently does not respond to these requests. Once a recognized standard is established, we will reconsider our approach and update our privacy policy accordingly.

Children. Protect Property Inspections Websites or Applications are not directed at children. If you are under 18 or otherwise would be required to have parent or guardian consent to share information with PPI, you should not send any information about yourself to us. If a person under 13 submits information through any part of a PPI Website or Application, and we learn the person submitting the information is a child, we will attempt to delete this information as soon as possible. Because we do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from persons under 13, we do not use or disclose such information to third parties.

WHEN PROTECT PROPERTY INSPECTIONS LLC MAY SHARE COLLECTED INFORMATION

PPI may share your Personal Information within our enterprise to fulfill our obligations to you and operate our business consistent with this Privacy Statement and applicable data protection law. We may also share your Personal Information with third parties in certain situations, including:

Protect Property Inspections LLC Affiliates, Vendors and Suppliers. “Affiliates” include PPI dealers, companies that are part of the PPI resource of companies/distributors/suppliers/vendors, PPI partners or their respective subsidiaries, employees, and supplemental workers. Vendors and suppliers are companies who perform services for PPI or its employees, inspectors, or dealers. To the extent it is necessary for these groups to provide their products and services to us and provide products and services you have requested, these third parties may have access to or process your Personal Information. PPI may sometimes permit our authorized service providers to have access to aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, traffic patterns, and related Website or Application information. These transfers of aggregate statistics do not involve Personal Information.

Recruitment and Job Applications. Personal information such as that contained on a resume or curriculum vitae may be submitted in connection with a job application or inquiry. We may use this information throughout PPI (worldwide) for the purpose of employment consideration or your inquiry. We may keep your information on file for future consideration.

Enabling Services. PPI offers a variety of services and functions through its Websites and Applications. Personal Information that is collected through a Website or Application may be used and/or disclosed to third parties in order to enable us to provide functionality or services to you. For example, some JEEP Shop USA Websites and Applications allow you to interface with third-party websites or applications. To facilitate that connection, we may use your Personal Information and/or disclose your Personal Information to third parties. When we provide location-based services enabled through a third party, we may share data with those services in order to provide the related location-based service or functionality.

Public Areas. Any information disclosed in public areas of a PPI Website or Application or third-party website (for example, through Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, or other sites) will become public information. We cannot control the use of information disclosed in public forums, such as social media platforms, blogs, forums, wikis, chat rooms, and networking functions of mobile-device applications. You should exercise caution when disclosing information in these public areas, especially your Location Data, and be careful how you disclose your Personal Information. Content posted in public areas of PPI Websites or Applications, including advice and opinions, represents the views and is the responsibility of those who post the content. PPI may not endorse, support, verify, or agree with the content posted. If you have any questions or comments about any content on a PPI Website or Application, please send an email to: [email protected]

Mergers, Acquisitions, and Insolvency. If PPI should ever file for bankruptcy or merge with another company, or if PPI should decide to buy, sell, or reorganize some part or all of its business, PPI may be required to disclose your Personal Information, including to prospective or actual purchasers in connection with one of these transactions.

As Required by Law and Other Extraordinary Disclosures. PPI may be required to disclose your Personal Information if it: (i) believes it is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process (such as a court order, subpoena, search warrant, etc.) or other legal requirements of any governmental authority, (ii) would potentially mitigate our liability in an actual or potential lawsuit or investigation, (iii) is otherwise necessary to protect our rights or property, or (iv) is necessary to protect the legal rights or property of others.

SECURITY

Data transmissions over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make reasonable efforts to ensure security on our systems. Protect Property Inspections LLC uses secure server software (e.g. SSL) and firewalls to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of such firewalls and secure server software.

If PPI learns of a security system breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. By providing Personal Information to us or using this Website or Application, you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues. PPI may post a notice on our Website or through an Application if a security breach occurs. If this happens, you can view the notice on a PPI Website or Application. PPI may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to us in these circumstances. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing. To receive free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your consent from receiving electronic notice) you should send an email to: [email protected]

LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND CO-BRANDED WEBSITES

Our Websites and Applications may contain links to third-party websites or may be co-branded. Please be aware that Protect Property Inspections is not responsible for and cannot control the privacy practices of other websites or third parties. We encourage you to read the privacy policies for these other websites, as they may differ from ours. Our Websites and Applications may also be created and maintained by service providers or may contain links to co-branded websites that may display the PPIlogo and trademarks but which are maintained by third parties. Such websites may be identified by the fact that they do not display a PPI (or PPI brand) URL or they may have information identifying a third party as the host of the particular Website or Application. Please read the privacy policy on the co-branded website for the applicable privacy practices relating to personal information collected via that website, as it may differ from this Privacy Statement. This Privacy Statement applies solely to Personal Information collected by PPI on its Websites or Applications where this Statement is posted.

ACCESSING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION, OPT-OUT, MAKING CHANGES, OR REQUESTING DELETION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

You may restrict PPI use of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. You may also request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data for this purpose. For instructions on changing any of your privacy preferences, accessing your information, updating your information or for any privacy or data-protection-related question, please send an email to: info@protectpropertyinspections for assistance.

SPECIAL NOTICE TO INTERNATIONAL VISITORS AND CUSTOMERS

Because PPI operates nationally, we may transfer your Personal Information within our national operations to fulfill our obligations to you, but always subject to the limitations of applicable data protection law and this Privacy Statement. Privacy laws differ across the globe. To help visitors whose native language may not be English understand our privacy practices, we may provide special information that may be applicable to these visitors in different languages. PPI entities outside the United States may have supplemental privacy policies that apply in those countries.

If you are visiting from Canada, the European Union (EU) or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from United States (U.S.) law, including those whose privacy laws may be more stringent than U.S. law, please note that you are transferring your personal data to PPI in the United States. By providing your personal data, you consent to that transfer.
