To the extent Habit House associates Usage Information with User’s Personal Information Habit House collects directly from User on the Website, Habit House will treat it as Personal Information.

HTML5 cookies can be programmed through HTML5 local storage. Unlike Flash cookies, HTML5 cookies do not require a plug-in. Regular cookies may generally be disabled or removed by tools that are available as part of most commercial browsers, and in some but not all instances can be blocked in the future by selecting certain settings. Each browser User uses will need to be set separately and different browsers offer different functionality and options in this regard. Also, these tools may not be effective with regard to Flash cookies or HTML5 cookies. For information on disabling Flash cookies go to Adobe’s web site www.adobe.com.

• Web Beacons. Small graphic images or other web programming code called “web beacons” (also known as “1×1 GIFs” or “clear GIFs”) may be included in pages and messages of our Website, Texts and Services. Web beacons may be invisible to User, but any electronic image or other web programming code inserted into a page or e-mail can act as a web beacon. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes, including, without limitation, to count visitors to the Website, Texts and Services, to monitor how users navigate the Website, Texts and Services, to count how many e-mails that were sent were actually opened or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed.

• Embedded Scripts. An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about User’s interactions with the Website, Texts and Services, such as the links User clicks on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto User’s Device from Habit House’s web server and/or Texts or a third party service provider, is active only while User is connected to the Website and/or Texts, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.

• ETag, or entity tag. A feature of the cache in browsers. It is an opaque identifier assigned by a web server to a specific version of a resource found at a URL. If the resource content at that URL ever changes, a new and different ETag is assigned. Used in this manner ETags are a form of Device Identifier. ETag tracking may generate unique tracking values even where the consumer blocks HTTP, Flash, and/or HTML5 cookies.

Habit House may use Tracking Technologies for a variety of purposes, including:

• Strictly Necessary. Habit House may use cookies or other Tracking Technologies that Habit House considers is strictly necessary to allow User to use and access Habit House’s Website, Texts and Services, including cookies required for system administration, to prevent fraudulent activity, or to improve.

There may be other Tracking Technologies now and later devised and used by Habit House in connection with the Website, Texts and Services. Further, third parties may use Tracking Technologies with Habit House’s Website. Habit House does not control those Tracking Technologies and Habit House is not responsible for them. However, User consents to potentially encountering third party Tracking Technologies in connection with use of Habit House’s Website, Texts and Services and accepts that Habit House’s statements under this Privacy Policy do not apply to the Tracking Technologies or practices of such third parties. User should check the third party websites to confirm how User’s information is collected and used.

Various third parties are developing or have developed signals or other mechanisms for the expression of consumer choice regarding the collection of information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party web sites or online services (e.g., browser do not track signals). Currently, Habit House does not monitor or take any action with respect to these signals or other mechanisms.

Information Third Parties Provide About User

Habit House may, from time to time, supplement the information Habit House collects directly from User at the Website, Texts and through Services with outside records from third parties for various purposes, including to enhance Habit House’s ability to serve User, to tailor Habit House’s content to User and to offer User opportunities that may be of interest to User. To the extent Habit House combines any non-personally identifiable information Habit House receives from those sources with User’s Personal Information Habit House collect on the Website, Texts and Services, it will be treated as Personal Information and Habit House will apply this Privacy Policy to such combined information, unless Habit House has disclosed otherwise.

Interactions with Third-Party Websites

The Website, Texts and Services may include functionality that allows certain kinds of interactions between the Website, Texts and Services and User’s account on a third-party web site or application. The use of this functionality may involve the third-party operator providing certain information, including Personal Information, to Habit House. For example, when User registers with the Website and/or Texts, User may have an option to use User’s Facebook, Google or other account provided by a third-party site or application to facilitate the registration and log-in or transaction process on the Website, Texts and Services or otherwise link accounts. If Habit House offers and User chooses to use this functionality to access Habit House’s Website, Texts and Services, the third-party site or application may send Personal Information about User to the Website and/or Texts. If so, Habit House will then treat it as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy, since Habit House is collecting it as a result of User’s accessing of and interaction on Habit House’s Website, Texts and Services. In addition, Habit House may provide third-party sites’ interfaces or links on the Website, Texts and Services to facilitate User’s sending a communication from the Website, Texts and Services. For example, Habit House may use third parties to facilitate emails, text messages, blog postings, tweets or Facebook postings. These third parties may retain any information used or provided in any such communications or other activities and these third parties’ practices are not subject to Habit House’s Privacy Policy. Habit House may not control or have access to User’s communications through these third parties. Further, when User use third-party sites or services, User is using their services and not Habit House’s services and they, not Habit House, are responsible for their practices. User should review the applicable third-party privacy policies before using such third-party tools on Habit House’s Website.

How Habit House Uses the Personal Information

Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy or as specifically agreed to by User, Habit House will not disclose any information Habit House gathers from User on Habit House’s Website, Texts and Services. Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy, Habit House does not share User’s Personal Information with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Habit House may provide to third parties information about User that does not allow User to be identified or contacted, including where such information is combined with similar information of other users of Habit House’s Website, Texts and Services. For example, Habit House might inform third parties regarding the number of unique users who visit and/or use Habit House’s Services, the demographic breakdown of the registered users of Habit House’s Services, or the activities that users engage in while on Habit House’s Website and/or Texts.

In connection with the Business Premium Services, the Business Customer may disclose certain Personal Information to Habit House. To the extent that Habit House collects and processes Personal Information supplied by the Business Customer, Habit House is considered to be the data controller for the purposes of European data protection legislation and Habit House will process User’s Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Habit House may use User’s information that Habit House collects about User:

For full terms and conditions regarding User Content User submits to the Service, please review Habit House’s Terms & Conditions.

Profiles. A User’s profile page may be, by default, set up to display information such as the User’s display name, images, location (city/state/country), groups that the User has joined and optional information added by User. Profile information is used by Habit House primarily to be presented back to and edited by User when User accesses the Service and to be presented to others permitted to view that information on the Service. Habit House may offer users the ability to manage their public profile and use profile preference settings, the functionality and features of which are subject to change from time to time, so visit it frequently to confirm the settings reflect User’s then current preferences and Habit House recommends that User does not post information or content as part of User’s profile that User is not prepared to make public. Changing setting options may not result in immediate changes to the settings, which are subject to Habit House’s operations and maintenance schedules. User should carefully consider the use of such settings to improve information display options and to ensure the settings are properly set and functioning in the manner desired. Notwithstanding the availability of profile preference settings, User should be aware that these settings are for convenience only, do not employ complex data security protection and may not be error free.
