Your privacy is important to Consumers Unlimited (“consumersunlimited.com”). Please read our Privacy Policy carefully to understand how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store your information. By visiting Consumers Unlimited’s website or agreeing to our content, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.

Our Collection and Use of Personal Information

Personal Information is information you provide that can be used to uniquely identify or contact a single person, such as your name, email address, phone numbers, and tax identification number. You may be asked to provide Personal Information when you interact with Consumers Unlimited, Online Ads, or one of Consumers Unlimited’s related companies, such as in connection with a completed or abandoned transaction or a request for information. Consumers Unlimited may use your Personal Information in a way that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. We may supplement the Personal Information you provide with information available from other sources, such as public databases, data aggregators, and other commercially available sources.

Examples of Personal Information We Collect and How We Use It

You may provide Consumers Unlimited with a variety of Personal Information, including your name, mailing address, email address, phone number, payment information, and tax identification number. The Personal Information we collect allows us to deliver requested products, services, and information to you, to stay in contact with you, and to manage our relationship with you. By providing Consumers Unlimited with Personal Information, you consent to our transfer and storage of that information. We may also use your Personal Information for research, development, analysis, advertising, marketing, product and service offerings, security, fraud prevention, and other business activities.

Our Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information

Non-Personal Information is information in a form that does not allow for direct association with a specific person. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. We may collect, use, monitor, analyze, transfer, and disclose Non-Personal Information for any purpose.

Examples of Non-Personal Information We Collect and How We Use It

We may collect and aggregate information regarding user access, activity, and behavior on our website, such as when you visit the website and what content is of interest or seems to be most useful to you. If we combine Non-Personal Information with Personal Information, the combined information is treated as Personal Information for purposes of this Privacy Policy.

• Device Information: We may collect specific information about the device you use to access our website. For example, we may collect device model, IP address, MAC address, operating system version, application software, fonts, and other device information and identifiers.
• Cookies and Other Technologies: We use a variety of technologies to collect and store information when you visit our website. This technology may involve sending web beacons and cookies or anonymous identifiers to your device. We use these technologies to analyze your behavior when accessing our website and to deliver ads that relate to your interests.
• Log Information: When you visit our website, we collect certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP address, browser version, ISP data, referring and exit pages, operating system version, date/time stamps, cookie data, and clickstream data.

• Click-Through URLs: In some email messages, we use a Click-Through URL to link to content on our website. When you click one of these URLs, you pass through a separate web server before reaching our site. We use these URLs to help us determine interest in a particular topic and to measure the effectiveness of our email communications.
• Anonymized Information: If we separate Non-Personal Information from Personal Information, the separated information is treated as Non-Personal Information for purposes of this Privacy Policy.

You may find additional information and opt-out of other participating third-party display advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

You may find additional information and opt-out of Google Analytics by visiting the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. You may find additional information and opt-out of Omniture Analytics by visiting the Adobe opt-out page.

You also may want to consider disabling cookies within your browser. Please note, however, that certain features of the Consumers Unlimited website will not function properly or be available once cookies are disabled.

Social Media Plug-ins

Plug-ins for social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Yahoo, Windows, and Google Plus (among others), are integrated on Consumers Unlimited’s website. By interacting with us through a social media plug-in, certain information will be transmitted to the related social network, and you permit us to have ongoing access to information from your social network profile. If you do not want the social network to collect information about you or to share it with Consumers Unlimited and other third parties, please review the privacy policy of the relevant social network and/or log out of the relevant social network before you visit our site.

Information Security and Retention

Consumers Unlimited takes precautions to safeguard your Personal Information from loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These precautions include technical, physical, and managerial procedures. Because email and instant messaging are not recognized as secure communications, we request that you not send private information to us by email or instant messaging services. We regularly review our compliance with our Privacy Policy and enforce safeguards within the company. We are committed to working with appropriate regulatory authorities to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of Personal Information that we cannot resolve with our customers directly.

Consumers Unlimited uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all pages where Personal Information is collected. This protects the confidentiality of your Personal Information while it is transmitted over the Internet. For your own protection, you should exercise care with the information you share over the Internet. You should always use a secure browser and exercise good judgment in using passwords, such as using a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters, and avoid using the same or similar passwords across multiple sites.

Clients may access their Personal Information by logging into their account. We make good-faith efforts to give you ways to update or delete your Personal Information quickly, unless we need to keep that information for a legitimate business or legal purpose. Some changes require personal contact with an assigned Consumers Unlimited representative.

Consumers Unlimited retains Personal Information and Non-Personal Information for the time necessary and reasonable to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. We may reject requests to change or delete information that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (for example, requiring the development of new systems or fundamental changes to existing systems), risk the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (such as information stored on backups). We work to protect data from accidental or malicious destruction. Accordingly, we may not immediately delete or change residual copies and we may not delete or change information from our backup systems. Unless a disproportionate effort is required, we will provide information access and correction without charge.

Third-Party Privacy Policies

This Privacy Policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Consumers Unlimited does not own or control or to people that Consumers Unlimited does not employ or manage. Consumers Unlimited does not control the privacy policies of third parties, and you are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties where applicable. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others. For more information about this policy, please contact us.

Policy Changes

Consumers Unlimited may update or change this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised Privacy Policy on this site and we will revise the date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about our collection, use, and sharing of Personal Information.
