This Website uses two kinds of cookies: so-called “session” cookies, which are deleted from your computer when you leave the Website and are used purely to help you to navigate around the Website; and “persistent” cookies, which remain on your computer so that the Website can recognize you when you return.  We may also use standard Internet tools, such as web beacons, which collect information that tracks your use of our website and enables us to customize our services and advertisements.

We may also use third-party advertising companies to target and show you advertisements when you visit the Website.  These third-party advertisers may send “cookies” to your computer or other accessing device to gather information about your preferences in order to provide you with advertising that is more likely to relate to your interests.

How Personal Information May be Used

In order to provide you with efficient and reliable services and to improve product and service options available to you, Soteria™ may share your Personal Information with our affiliates as required or permitted by applicable law.  Our affiliates are companies controlled or owned by us, or companies that control us, or are under common control with us.   

The Soteria Method® will not sell or market Personal Information collected on this Website to non-affiliated third parties for their marketing purposes.  However, regardless of whether you have chosen to limit our sharing of your Personal Information as collected on the Website, The Soteria Method® may, without restriction, disclose aggregated statistics about visitors to its Website, along with specific information concerning individual visitors of its Website that is not Personal Information, provided that no specific individual can be identified by the information so disclosed.

The Soteria Method® may use your Personal Information to provide you with a personalized Website experience, send you newsletters and to provide other update or informational services (including, without limitation, alerts for new features and/or enhancements; special offers; upgrade opportunities; contests, promotions and/or other events that may be of interest to you). We will also use your details to manage your account. We may also use this information to deliver services that you requested, contact you via direct postal mail and/or electronically to the extent such activity is permitted by law, regarding your relationship with The Soteria Method® and otherwise as you permit.  You may opt out of receiving electronic information from Soteria™ by e-mailing us at info@soteriamethod.com. Additionally, at the time that Soteria™ provides you with information electronically, we will also provide you with an opportunity to opt out of receiving future information electronically.

If you choose to receive our emails from time-to-time we will use the information you provide to promote the products and services of our business partners or affiliates of Soteria™ via email or direct mail. We do collate information about site traffic, sales, wish list, and other commercial information which we may pass on to third parties but this information does not include any information which can identify you personally. We strive to limit use of your information to those offers that we think you would appreciate receiving. Finally, we may use your Personal Information for our internal marketing and demographic studies, together with non-personal data to monitor customer patterns so we can consistently improve our site design to better meet our visitors' needs. If we change our policy on disclosure to others, we will inform you and give you the choice of opting out.

 

Regardless of whether you have chosen to limit our sharing of your Personal Information as collected on the Website, your Personal Information may be disclosed to: 

•    our service providers and subcontractors, including our affiliates, retained to perform functions on our behalf or to provide services to us, such as fulfillment, warehousing and delivery companies; marketing and advertising; data processing; software development; transaction processing credit and anti-fraud checks; marketing services; website hosting and management; information technology and office services; legal, accounting, audit and other professional service providers. In such situations, Soteria™ requires that these companies agree to (a) maintain the confidentiality of your Personal Information and (b) limit the use of such Personal Information to the purposes for which it was provided.  Furthermore, in compliance with privacy laws, we also provide our opt-out lists to non-affiliated third party companies so that they can be suppressed from the communications those companies send on The Soteria Method®’s behalf;

•    The prospective seller or buyer of The Soteria Method®’s business or assets, including where The Soteria Method® or substantially all of The Soteria Method®’s assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by it about its customers will be one of the transferred assets (but in the event of such a change of ownership, your Personal Information will continue to be protected by this Privacy Policy unless and until you are notified of a change);

•    Finally, regardless of whether you have chosen to limit our sharing of your Personal Information as collected on the Website, your Personal Information may be disclosed to non-affiliated third parties as either permitted by, or to comply with, applicable laws and regulations.  For example, Soteria™ may disclose your Personal Information to comply with investigations by regulatory authorities or enforcement agencies in the United States of America or elsewhere, or to protect against or prevent actual or potential fraud.  Furthermore, The Soteria Method® may disclose your Personal Information if it has a reasonable good faith basis to believe that it is under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to: comply with any legal or regulatory obligation; respond to inquiries or requests from public authority; enforce or apply the The Soteria Method®’s Terms of Use and other agreements; permit us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain; or protect the rights, property, safety or security of Soteria™, our employees, agents, contractors, customers, the visitors of the Site or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

GOVERNING LAW

This Privacy Policy shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York of the United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.  Any dispute concerning this Privacy Policy or your use of this Website shall be submitted to, and finally settled by, binding arbitration in New York County, State of New York within one (1) year from the date that the cause of action arose (or, if multiple cause of actions are involved, from the date that the first cause of action arose), with such arbitration conducted pursuant to the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no arbitration brought pursuant hereto shall be joined to any other action or any other arbitration. In the event that any portion of this Privacy Policy is deemed unenforceable, unlawful or void by a tribunal of competent jurisdiction, in any jurisdiction for any reason because of the scope, duration or area of its applicability or for other reasons, unless narrowed by construction, such provision shall for purposes of such jurisdiction only, be construed as if such invalid, prohibited or unenforceable provision had been more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable (or if such language cannot be drawn narrowly enough, the tribunal making any such determination shall have the power to modify, to the extent necessary to make such provision or provisions enforceable in such jurisdiction, such scope, duration or area or all of them, and such provision shall then be applicable in such modified form).  If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such provision would be held to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction only, shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability, without invalidating the remaining provisions.  No narrowed construction, court-modification or invalidation of any provision shall affect the construction, validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. No waiver by The Soteria Method® of any provision of this Privacy Policy shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision, and The Soteria Method®’s failure to assert any right or demand compliance with any provision of this Privacy Policy shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any such right or provision. Furthermore, if any portion of this Privacy Policy is deemed unenforceable, unlawful or void by a tribunal of competent jurisdiction, then that portion of the Privacy Policy will be deemed severable and will not affect the enforceability or validity of the remaining portions of this Privacy Policy.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Privacy Policy, The Soteria Method® may at any time seek injunctive or other appropriate relief against you and/or against others, in any state or federal court in New York County, State of New York or any other court in any jurisdiction, in the event that Soteria™ believes that there is a violation, or a threatened violation, of any of The Soteria Method®’s intellectual property rights and, in such case, you hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such court for the purpose of any such dispute(s), and waive any claim or defense that any such court lacks jurisdiction due to the laying venue or otherwise, or that such forum is not convenient or proper.
