Privacy Policy

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. When you submit information to us, you consent to the processing of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.
COLLECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
This Privacy Policy applies to public areas of www.slseventplanning.com and its affiliated websites (collectively, “Sites”) as well as subscription services available only to registered users in or to which this Privacy Policy is linked or posted (collectively with the Sites, the “Services”).
This Privacy Policy does not apply to information that is collected offline or by any third-party websites or services that you access through the Products and/or Services. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY PART OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, THEN PLEASE DO NOT USE THE PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES.
Our right to process information also may be described in our agreements with our Clients. If a provision of Terms of Consulting Service Agreement conflicts or otherwise is inconsistent with a provision of this Privacy Policy, then the term of the Terms of Consulting Service Agreement will prevail to the extent of the conflict or inconsistency.
In this Privacy Policy, to “process” Personal Information means to perform any operation on Personal Information, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organizing, storing, adapting, use, disclosure, combining, erasing or destroying.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
The Effective Date of this Privacy Policy is set forth at the top of this webpage. As we add new features to our Products and/or Services, we may amend this Privacy Policy. If we make a material change to this Privacy Policy that reduces your privacy rights, we will notify you in advance through the Products and/or Services. Your continued use of the Products and/or Services after the Effective Date constitutes your acceptance of the amended Privacy Policy. The amended Privacy Policy supersedes all previous versions.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
In order to better provide you with products and services offered on our site, SLS may collect personally identifiable information, such as you:
· First and Last Name
· Mailing Address
· Email Address
· Phone Number
· Company Name
· Job Title
· Company Description
When you use the Products and/or Services, we collect two types of information: Personal Information (as outlined above) and Usage Data.
In this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means any information that identifies or could be used to identify an individual. Personal Information does not include aggregated information to the extent that an individual’s identity cannot be derived from it. Personal Information includes your contact data (name, telephone number, email address and country of residence) and certain (but not all) Usage Data.
We define “Usage Data” as information about an individual’s activity on or through the Products and/or Services that, by itself, does not identify the individual, such as browser type, operating system and webpages visited. Generally, we do not consider Usage Data as Personal Information because Usage Data by itself usually does not identify an individual. Usage Data may, however, be Personal Information under certain laws because it could be used to indirectly identify an individual.
We may link Personal Information and Usage Data or different types of Usage Data. We also may link publicly available Personal Information, such as Personal Information available in public databases and through social networking websites. The linked information may identify an individual person and is Personal Information.
If you purchase SLS’s Products and Products and/or Services we collect billing and credit card information. This information is used to complete the purchase transaction.
We do not collect any personal information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. However, you may be required to provide certain personal information to us when you elect to use certain products or services available on the Site. These may include: (a) registering for an account or membership on our Site; (b) entering a contest sponsored by us or one of our partners; (c) signing up for special offers from us or selected third parties; (3) sending us an email message; (e) submitted your credit card or other payment information when ordering and purchasing Products or Services on our Site. To which, we will use your information for, but not limited to, communicating with you in relation to Services and/or Products you have requested from us. We also may gather additional personal or non-personal information in the future.

COOKIES AND OTHER DATA COLLECTION TECHNOLOGY
Cookies are small text files that are sent to or accessed from your web browser or your computer's hard drive. A cookie typically contains the name of the domain (internet location) from which the cookie originated, the “lifetime” of the cookie (i.e., when it expires) and a randomly generated unique number or similar identifier. A cookie also may contain information about your computer, such as user settings, browsing history and activities conducted while using the Products and/or Services. A web beacon (also called a pixel tag or clear GIF) is a piece of computer code that enables us to monitor user activity and website traffic. To learn more about cookies and web beacons, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
How We Use Data Collection Technology: Data Collection Technology helps us improve your experience of the Products and/or Services by, for example, storing your password so you do not have to re-enter it each time you use the Products and/or Services, measuring the success of marketing campaigns, compiling statistics about use of the Products and/or Services and helping us analyze technical and navigational information about the Products and/or Services and to detect and prevent fraud.
The Products and/or Services use the following cookies:
Strictly necessary cookies, which are required for the operation of the Products and/or Services. Without them, for example, you would not be able to register or log in for the Products and/or Services that we may offer.
Analytical/performance cookies, which allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors, to learn how visitors navigate the Products and/or Services and to help us to improve the way Products and/or Services function.
Functionality cookies, which are used to recognize you when you return to the Products and/or Services.
We also use Google Analytics which is a Google service that uses Data Collection Technology to collect anonymous information about the use of the Products and/or Services and report website trends. Google Analytics does not identify individual users. We may use an enhancement to Google Analytics called “Demographics and Interest Reporting,” through which Google provides us with information about our users’ demographics (e.g., age, gender) and interests. This information, which Google may collect by tracking a user’s behavior across third-party websites, helps us to learn more about our users. You can learn about Google’s practices in connection with this enhanced tracking and opt-out of it by visiting www.google.com/settings/ads or by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
We also may use other Data Collection Technology to collect information from the computer or device that you use to access the Products and/or Services, such as your operating system type, browser type, domain, and other system settings, as well as the language your system uses and the country and time zone in which your computer or device is located.
Your Control of Cookies: Some web browsers (including some mobile web browsers) provide settings that allow you to control or reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer, tablet or mobile device. You also may be able to reject mobile device identifiers by activating the appropriate setting on your mobile device. Although you are not required to accept cookies or mobile device identifiers, if you block or reject them, you may not have access to all features available through the Products and/or Services.
