ConnectMe 360 Privacy Statement
INFORMATION
COLLECTION AND USE
Registration and Uses
of Information
In order to use services associated with this Web site, you must first complete the registration form and create a user name and password. During registration you are required to give contact information (such as name, mobile phone number and email address). We use this information to provide you with specific information about places and services in which you have expressed interest.
You may have also initiated use, either by calling a phone number or by talking with a customer representative. If you called, you were given the option of receiving information by SMS text messaging. If you talked with a representative, they asked you for your mobile number for the purpose of giving you information. We use this information to help us provide a higher quality experience.
In any case, your registration is associated with a specific occasion you have expressed interest in, and any communication sent to you will be pursuant to that specific occasion.
ConnectMe LLC is the sole owner of the information collected on 5STRZ.com and ConnectMe360.com. ConnectMe 360 collects personally identifiable information from our users at several different points on our Web sites and related services.
Orders
If you purchase a product or service through our Web sites and related services, we request certain personally identifiable information from you on our order form. You must provide contact information (such as name, email, and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date).
We use this information for billing purposes, to prevent unauthorized transactions, and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we will use this information to contact you.
Surveys or Contests
From time to time we may provide you the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys on our site. If you participate, we may request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as home zip code).
We use this information to rate the experience of either ourselves or our affiliates. We use this information primarily in aggregate, in order to negotiate a better experience for you in the future. We reserve any and all rights to any comments you provide, including the right to paraphrase if we deem the full narrative to be excessive in length. You may see the results of these surveys in your future dealings with our web sites or our affiliates.
We may use a third party service provider to conduct these surveys or contests; that company will be prohibited from using our users' personally identifiable information for any other purpose.
Tell-A-Friend
If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about our site, we will ask you for your friend's name, mobile phone number and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email and/or SMS text message inviting him or her to respond. ConnectMe 360 stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the success of our referral program.
COMMUNICATIONS FROM
THE SITE
Special Offers and
Updates
We will occasionally send you updates on things you have expressed an interest in. If you agree to these Terms, you can visit the web site for a comprehensive list.
Out of respect for your privacy, we present the option not to receive these types of communications. Please see the "Choice and Opt-out."
Newsletters, Alerts
and FAQs
If you wish to receive our informational messages, we will use your name, mobile number and email address to send the newsletter to you. Out of respect for your privacy, we provide you a way to unsubscribe. Please see the "Choice and Opt-out" section.
Service-related
Announcements
We will send you strictly service-related announcements on rare occasions when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send you an email or SMS text message.
Generally, you may not opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature. If you do not wish to receive them, you have the option to deactivate your account to opt-out of these communications. Please see "Choice and Opt-out."
Customer Service
Based upon the personally identifiable information you provide us, we will send you a welcome email to verify your username and password. We will also communicate with you in response to your inquiries, to provide the services you request, and to manage your account. We will communicate with you by email or telephone, in accordance with your wishes.
Profile
We store information that we collect through cookies, log files, clear gifs, and/or third party sources to create a "profile" of your preferences. We may tie your personally identifiable information, and your purchasing history, to information in the profile, in order to provide tailored promotions and marketing offers and to improve the content of the site for you.
We share your profile together with your personally identifiable information with affiliates with whom you have separate agreements, such as travel loyalty programs, print magazine subscriptions, employment agreements, etc.
Supplementation of
Information
In order to provide certain services, such as directions or search results to you, we may on occasion supplement the personal information you submitted to us with information from third party sources.
ID or Address
Verification
We may use a third party from time to time to verify your identity, in order to verify that you are a bona fide buyer or seller.
Enhancement of
Profile Information
We reserve the right to purchase marketing data from third parties and add it to our existing user database, to better target our offers in which we think you would be interested. To enrich our Profiles of individual customers, we tie this information to the personally identifiable information they have provided to us.
INFORMATION SHARING
AND DISCLOSURE
Aggregate Information
(non-personally identifiable)
We share aggregated demographic information about our user base with our partners and advertisers. This information does not identify individual users. The information is used to describe the aggregate purchasing potential and purchase behavior of specific audiences, which is used to negotiate better offers, terms and pricing which may benefit you in subsequent transactions.
We do not link aggregate user data with personally identifiable information.
Personally
identifiable information
We share personally identifiable information with third parties. In all of those circumstances, we act as an agent whose sole purpose is to speed and otherwise assist in the delivery of information to the various parties in a transaction. We will not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any other purposes.
Legal Disclaimer
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Web site
Choice/Opt-out
We provide you the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes, when we ask for this information. For example, if you purchase a product/service but do not wish to receive any additional marketing material from us, you can indicate your preference on our order form. We may also provide you with options on how you wish to be contacted.
If you no longer wish to receive our communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each SMS text message or communication or by emailing us at opt-out@connectme360.com. We offer an opportunity to opt-out of certain communications on our website at http://www.5strz.com/##########, where "##########" represents your ten digit mobile number, or you may contact us at (877) 465-7879 and touch-tone 7867 ("STOP") or to the following postal address:
ConnectMe LLC
You will be notified when your personal information is collected by any third party that is not our agent/service provider, so you can make an informed choice as to whether or not to share your information with that party.
Log Files
As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.
We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users' movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.
We do link this automatically-collected data to mobile phone numbers, but not names or addresses. We keep this information to document compliance with federal and local statute as well as other laws and standards.
We use a third-party tracking service managed by TypePad that uses log files to track non-personally identifiable information about visitors to our site in the aggregate, such as which pages were viewed, to improve the quality of your experience.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user's computer for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies on this site solely for the purpose of saving you the effort of re-keying information each time you visit. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our site.
We use session ID cookies and persistent cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site. A session ID cookie expires when you close you browser or after a certain period of time. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser's "help" file.
We set a persistent cookie to store your passwords, so you don't have to enter it more than once. Persistent cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site.
If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some areas of our site, such as contests or surveys, will be limited.
Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies on our site. We have no access to or control over these cookies. See "Third Party Advertisers."
This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by www.5strz.com and www.ConnectMe360.com only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information.
This privacy statement applies only to information collected by this Web site.
Co-branded sites
We provide messaging and connectivity services for various companies who manage their own lists of customers and employees. We provide interactive portals which enable them to provide enhanced services, and in all circumstances provide end users with simple, accessible mechanisms to opt-out of future communications with those companies. In all cases our terms of use and privacy statements will be superceded by those of our co-branded partners.

Security
The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number) on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
If you have any questions about security on our Web site, you can send email us at security@ConnectMe360.com
Business Transitions
In the event ConnectMe 360 goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your personally identifiable information will likely be among the assets transferred. You will be notified via prominent notice on our Web site for 30 days of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.

Privacy Statement
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
