Your privacy is important to us. Frost Solutions. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“Frost Solutions,” “we,” or “us”), understand your concerns with regard to how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will use and share information about you carefully and sensibly. This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect about you, how we collect it, how we use it, with whom we may share it, and what choices you have regarding it. This Privacy Policy applies to your use of our web or mobile site, or other application (the “Site”) and any other means by which we may collect information about you, including information you may provide to us other than on the Site. We encourage you to become familiar with this Privacy Policy. By accessing and using the Site, you agree that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy and that you accept and consent to the privacy practices (and any uses and disclosures of information about you) that are described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any other websites. We are not responsible for, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to, the privacy practices of other companies or other websites. We encourage you to seek out and read the privacy policy of each website that you visit.

What information do we collect, and how do we collect it?
We may collect certain information from or about you in connection with your use of, or your submissions to or via, the Site (together, “Collected Information”), including, but not limited to, name, email address, and any information that may be publically available through your social media platforms such as LinkedIn and Facebook. In addition, we may retain the content of, and metadata regarding, any correspondence you may have with us or our representatives, regardless of the mode of communication by which such correspondence was made. This information helps us to improve the Site and the online content, materials, and services that we make available on the Site, and to more effectively and efficiently respond to both current and future inquiries.

In order to gain access to certain portions of the services on the Site, Frost Solutions may require you to register to create an account. To register, you will receive an invitation via email and then be asked to enter your email address and select a password.

As part of your participation on the Site, you may enter data about your Frost products, set up alerts using your phone number, or submit support requests.. You acknowledge that entering this information on the Site is at your own risk. While the Site may provide features that permit you to limit access to some of your information on the Site, you acknowledge that these security measures are limited and could be circumvented. Frost Solutions is not responsible for any actions by third parties to circumvent the privacy and security mechanisms contained in the Site. As with many other websites, the web servers used to operate the Site may collect certain data pertaining to you, including data regarding the equipment and communications method that you use to access the Site, and your activities on our Site. For security reasons and to confirm the integrity of the Site, we may combine components of this data with Collected Information, which may identify you. Unless otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, such identifying information (which is deemed “Collected Information” hereunder) will be used solely for our business purposes.

In addition, the Collected Information may reveal such things as the Internet protocol (“IP”) address assigned to your computer, specific pages that you access on the Site or prior to or after visiting the Site, and the length of time you spend at the Site. We and our Contractors may use this information to help administer the Site and the servers that provide the Site, generate statistical information, monitor and analyze Site traffic and usage patterns, and improve the Site’s content and content delivery, including any online content, materials, and services that we describe or make available on the Site.
In addition, our Site may send one or more “cookies” to your computer to improve the utility of the Site by storing user preferences and tracking user trends (also deemed “Collected Information” hereunder). Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Please note that you may not be able to access the full functionality of our Site if cookies are disabled on your browser.

We may collect your information through our use of Google Analytics to help analyze how users use the Site. The Google Analytics tool uses “cookies,” which are text files placed on your computer, to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Site (including IP address) is transmitted to Google. This information is then used to evaluate visitors’ use of the Site and to compile statistical reports on website activity for Company. For more information regarding Google Analytics please visit Google’s website, and pages that describe Google Analytics, such as http://google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html.

We may use “pixel tags,” also known as “web beacons,” which are small graphic files that allow us to monitor the use of our websites. A pixel tag is a type of technology placed on a website or within the body of an email for the purpose of tracking activity on websites, or when emails are opened or accessed, and is often used in combination with cookies. A pixel tag can collect information such as the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the tag appears; the URL of the page on which the pixel tag appears; the time the page containing the pixel tag was viewed; the type of browser that fetched the pixel tag; and the identification number of any cookie on the computer previously placed by that server.

How will we use the information you provide to us?
We may use the information we obtain about you to register, manage and maintain your account on the Site, and provide products and services you request. In addition to the uses described above, we may use Collected Information to analyze and improve the content, materials, and services that we make available on the Site, to notify you of changes made to the Site, to evaluate user needs and improve the Site content, to send you promotional materials, and support our continuing efforts to offer users the information and services we think they want most. If you contact us for support or assistance, we may use Collected Information to provide service and support to you. We may also use Collected Information and the associated statistical data we generate to deliver targeted advertisements to you and other visitors of our Site.

We may also contact you to confirm registration information and regarding changes to Frost Solutions’ Terms & Conditions and this Privacy Policy.

Frost Solutions may use information you submit to the Site in a non-identifying fashion (unless otherwise permitted by you) in order to provide aggregate statistics regarding user membership and service hours completed from the Site and to provide personalized service opportunities to you.

We may store Collected Information for as long as needed for the purposes indicated in this Privacy Policy, which may be indefinitely. Frost Solutions reserves the right to disclose, without your prior permission, any Collected Information if we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) protect and defend the rights, property or safety of Frost Solutions, employees, other users of the Site, or the public; (b) enforce the Terms & Conditions; (c) if required by a legally valid request from a competent governmental authority; (d) respond to claims that any content violates the right of third-parties; or (e) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request.

Except for the above, we will not share personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of the Company unless we have your affirmative (and informed) consent to do so.

Sensitive personal information is a particular category of personal information relating to racial or ethnic origins, political or religious beliefs or sexuality.

With whom do we share the information we collect?

We may produce reports on Site traffic, usage patterns, and similar data generated from Collected Information, and we may share these reports with our third-party service provider partners and others.

If you are not a resident of the United States, you acknowledge and agree that we may collect and use your personal information outside your home jurisdiction, and that we may store your personal information in the United States or elsewhere.

International Privacy Practices
Company’s websites, including websites directed to residents in countries and jurisdictions outside of the United States, are operated and managed on servers located and operated within the United States. If you are using our Site outside of the United States, your data and information is collected in the country in which you are located and is transferred to the United States or another country where our servers are located. By using the Site, you hereby affirmatively consent to processing of your Collected Information in a country which may not have the same level of privacy protection as your country of residence.

In this way, third-party servers may compile information about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw their service opportunities and determine which opportunities are clicked on. This information allows a service provider network to deliver targeted opportunities that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies and tracking technologies by Frost Solutions only and does not cover the use of cookies or other tracking technologies by any third-party service providers. Our Site does not respond to web browser “do not track” signals.

We realize that they may not understand all the provisions of our policy or be able to make thoughtful decisions about the choices that are made available to our adult users.
