CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
MOMS Club collects the following categories of personal information:

  • contact information including name, postal address, email address, and phone number;
  • device and usage information, including your IP address or mobile network information;
  • authentication information including the username and password that you used to create and register an account on the Service and any Third Party Services including social media that you many link to your account;
  • financial information which is collected by third parties used by MOMS Club for payment processing purposes;
  • comments, reviews, and suggestions;
  • personal characteristics including age, date of birth, gender, marital status, and nationality;
  • general geolocation data;

MOMS Club may also collect certain non-identifying information, or aggregate information, such as anonymous demographic information including zip codes, dates of birth, customer preferences, information about customer computer hardware and software, as well as information about the links and pages that users access within a MOMS Club website. Certain non-identifying information may be considered personally identifiable information if combined with other information which may enable you to be identified (such as a zip code with a street address); however, the same information when taken alone or combined with other non-identifying information, will be considered non-identifying information.

Beyond this, MOMS Club does not collect sensitive personal information such as your social security, driver’s license, state identification card, or passport number; your account log-in, financial account, debit card, or credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account; your precise geolocation; your racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs or associations, political opinions or membership, or union membership; the contents of your mail, email and text messages, unless we are the intended recipient of the communication; your genetic data; your mental or physical health or medical condition or diagnosis; your sex life or sexual orientation or practices; your criminal background; or your citizenship or citizenship status. We ask that you not send nor disclose, any sensitive personal information to us.

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
We use third party processors to collect payment information, such as a valid credit card number, type, expiration date or other financial information, to process payments for customer transactions. This information is required to be submitted as part of our checkout process. We do not have access to any of this financial information; it is submitted directly to our third-party payment processing company, Authorize.net(the “Payment Processor”), which uses the information to process your payment. The use and storage of that information is governed by the Payment Processor’s applicable terms of service and privacy policy which can be found at https://stripe.com/privacy.

 

PURPOSE OF COLLECTION
MOMS Club only collects and processes the minimum amount of personal information from you that is necessary for the purposes of our information-processing activities and retains such information only if required to fulfill such purposes.

MOMS Club may store and use your personally identifiable information for (i) product or service fulfillment including customer service and support, payment processing, and shipping, (ii) internal operations, such as improving your customer experience – this includes auditing current interactions and optimizing user experience, (iii) detecting security incidents, protecting against malicious, deceptive activity, and taking all necessary and appropriate steps to mitigate current and future risk; (iv) debugging and repairing internal information technology as necessary; (v) undertaking internal research for technological development and demonstration; and (vi) to share with trusted third party service providers to help MOMS Club perform activities to improve your customer experience with your consent (“Business Purposes”). Third parties are prohibited from using your personal information beyond providing services to MOMS Club and are required to maintain the information’s confidentiality and privacy.

Where applicable, if MOMS Club intends to further process your personal information for a purpose other than that for which the personal information was initially collected, MOMS Club shall, prior to such processing, provide you with any relevant information on such additional purpose, and, to the extent required by applicable law, obtain your consent for this.

 

DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may disclose the above categories of personal information that we collect (with the exception of biometric information, which we do not disclose without your consent–except to effectuate the purpose for which it was collected–or otherwise sell, lease, trade, or profit from), and may have disclosed this information for Business Purposes within the last twelve months, with:

  • our affiliates, including companies within the MOMS Club family of companies, to provide the Service and otherwise conduct our business;
  • vendors, suppliers, and similar third parties and service providers, including but not limited to credit card processors, and other companies who perform services and functions on our behalf to support our interactions with you and help us facilitate or improve the Service and its features, provide customer support, perform website-related services (e.g., without limitation, maintenance services, database management, and web analytics), or assist us in analyzing how the Service is used;
  • our banks, insurers, attorneys, and brokers to conduct our business and meet our legal obligations;
  • third parties approved by you; and
  • third parties as required by law.

MOMS Club does not sell your personal information to third parties.

MOMS Club does not knowingly sell or share any personal information about consumers under the age of eighteen.

MOMS Club will disclose your personal information, without notice, if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary (a) to conform to the edicts of the law or to comply with legal process served; (b) to protect and defend the rights or property of MOMS Club ; or (c) under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the MOMS Club website or the public.

Additionally, MOMS Club may disclose personally identifiable information to your agent or legal representative (such as the holder of a power of attorney that you grant, or a guardian appointed for you).

As with any other business, MOMS Club may merge with or be purchased by another company, or have substantially all its assets purchased. If MOMS Club is acquired or has its assets purchased, the company that acquires us or purchases our assets would have access to the information maintained by us, including personally identifiable information, but would continue to be bound by this Policy unless and until it is amended. To the extent that this provision conflicts in any way with any other provision of this Privacy Policy, or the Terms of Use, this provision controls, and you understand that in a merger, acquisition, asset purchase, bankruptcy, or assignment for benefit of creditors, your personal information may be transferred without any further consents from you, so long as the transferee abides by this Policy unless and until it is amended.

 

USER CONTRIBUTIONS
Some features of the Service may now or in the future allow you to provide content, such as written comments or reviews, product images, or interactive responses to content such as quizzes or surveys, to be published or displayed on public areas of the Service (“User Contributions”). Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through MOMS Club operated public forums and sites, such information may be collected and used by others. We cannot control the actions of other users of the Service with whom you may choose to share your User Contributions. Be careful about what you post online.

 

OPTING OUT OF MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS
When you register, subscribe, create an account, sign up to receive offers or emails from us, or otherwise communicate with us through our Service, you may “opt out” of receiving future communications from us for direct marketing purposes at any time by following the “unsubscribe” instructions in any such communication you receive.

 

DATA RETENTION
MOMS Club only collects and processes the minimum amount of data from you that is necessary to the purposes of our information processing activities and retains such information only if required to fulfill such purposes or otherwise required by law. We will store your personal data for as long as your account is active or we are providing the Service to you and for a period of 3 years following de-activation/deletion of your account or the conclusion of our Service to you, unless applicable laws require us to do otherwise. We may retain your personal data for more than 3 years after deletion of your account to comply with our legal obligations or for our legal protection, in which case your personal data may be retained for a period equal to the applicable statutes of limitation. We may maintain any anonymized data indefinitely.

 

SECURITY PROTECTIONS FOR YOUR DATA
MOMS Club takes the security of your personal information very seriously. MOMS Club uses reasonable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to secure the personal information you share with us. Despite these safeguards and our additional efforts to secure your information, MOMS Club cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security, and they could improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your personal information.

The security of your MOMS Club website account relies on your protection of your user profile information. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your user profile information, including your password and for all activities that occur under your account. You may not share your password with anyone. We will never ask you to send your password or other sensitive information to us in an email, though we may ask you to enter this type of information on a MOMS Club website.

Any email or other communication purporting to be from one of our websites requesting your password or asking you to provide sensitive account information via email, should be treated as unauthorized and suspicious and should be reported to us immediately by emailing support@momsclub.org. If you believe someone else has obtained access to your password, please change it immediately by logging in to your account and report it immediately by emailing support@momsclub.org.

 

USE OF COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGY
MOMS Club websites work with a first party cookie that collects anonymous traffic data, a form of aggregate information. “Cookies” are simple text files stored on your computer for use by a browser. MOMS Club may use “cookies” to assist in data collection and to track visitor website usage and trends to help us better serve you. If you reject cookies, you will still be able to view our websites, but your ability to use some areas of the websites will be limited. Some of our business partners and publishers (e.g., analytical tracking software providers) use cookies and tracking technologies on our websites. We have no access to or control over these third-party cookies or tracking technologies. This Policy covers the use of cookies on our websites by us only and does not cover the use of cookies or tracking technologies by any such business partner.

We may also use cookies, pixels, beacons, JavaScript, or other web tracking technologies to track the amount of time spent on our websites or social media and whether certain content, such as a video, was viewed. We may work with trusted third parties to collect and process this information for us, based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy.

When you visit MOMS Club’s website, MOMS Club automatically collects the name of the website you visited from (called the “referring page”) and the name of the website you choose to visit immediately after ours (called the “exit page”), and information about other websites you have recently visited. This information is used to improve our website, but we cannot identify you from any information we receive from such cookies. Some browsers have a “do not track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked.

 

GOOGLE ANALYTICS
We utilize Google Analytics, which stores information about what pages you visit, how long you are on our website, how you got here, and what links you click on. This analytics data is collected via a JavaScript tag in the pages of our website and is not tied to any personally identifiable information. If you would like to opt out of Google Analytics, Google has developed a tool that works with major internet browsers to permit you to opt-out. For more information and to install their opt-out tool, please click here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

 

LINKED SITES
The Service may contain links to third-party owned or operated websites, including, without limitation, social media websites (each a “Linked Site”), as a convenient method of accessing information that may be useful or of interest to you. This Policy and the practices that we follow under this Policy do not apply to Linked Sites. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or opinions expressed on any Linked Site or for the privacy practices or security standards used by third parties on such Linked Sites. These Linked Sites have separate privacy and data collection practices, and we have no responsibility or liability relating to them.

Additionally, other companies that place advertising on our site may collect information about you when you view or click on their advertising through the use of cookies. We cannot control this collection of information. You should contact these advertisers directly if you have any questions about their use of the information that they collect.

You understand and agree that by clicking on a link to a Linked Site or a third-party advertisement, you have left our Service and this Policy is no longer in effect.

 

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
MOMS Club’s Service is not targeted for use by children under the age of eighteen. MOMS Club does not knowingly collect personal information from children in connection with our Service without the consent of a parent or guardian. MOMS Club requests that all visitors under eighteen do not disclose or provide any personally identifiable information. Upon notification that a child under eighteen has provided us with personally identifiable information, we will delete the child’s personally identifiable information from our records. If you believe we might have any information from a child under the age eighteen, please email us at support@momsclub.org.

We will not be able to disclose information if we cannot verify that the person making the Consumer Request is the person about whom we collected information, or someone authorized to act on such person’s behalf. We will verify your request by comparing the information you provide with the information we have on you and, if your request is submitted by an authorized agent, we will require you to provide signed, written permission for such agent to act on your behalf.

 

CONSENT TO PROCESSING AND INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
MOMS Club is based in the United States, and the Service is hosted here. However, we may process, transfer, and store information about users of the Service on servers located in a number of countries. As a result, your personal information may be subject to data protection and other laws that may differ from your country of residence. Your personal information may be disclosed in response to inquiries or requests from government authorities or to respond to judicial process in the countries in which we operate. If you use the Service from another country or decide to share your personal information with MOMS Club, you are agreeing to be governed by the laws of the United States, and you are expressly consenting to the collection, processing, maintenance, and transfer of your data to the United States and other applicable territories where the privacy laws may not be as comprehensive as, or equivalent to, those in the country where you reside or are a citizen.

In particular, please note that neither our website, nor the products and services we offer on our website, nor any other activities we carry out as set out in this Privacy Policy are aimed at individuals based in the United Kingdom or any jurisdiction within the European Economic Area (“EEA”).

 

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
MOMS Club may occasionally update this Privacy Policy from time to time and without prior notice to you to reflect changes in our information practices, and any such amendments shall apply to information already collected and to be collected. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our home page. MOMS Club encourages you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to be informed of how MOMS Club is using and protecting your information. Your continued use of the Service after any changes to our Privacy Policy indicates your agreement with the terms of the revised Privacy Policy.

 

INTEGRATING THIRD PARTY SERVICES WITHIN THE SERVICE
One of the special features of the Service is that it allows you to enable various online third party services, such as social media and social networking services (“Third Party Services”), to be directly integrated into your MOMS Club experience. By directly integrating these services, we make your online experiences richer, and more personalized. To take advantage of this feature, we will ask you to provide us your username and password for the relevant Third Party Services. By enabling such Third Party Services, you are allowing us to pass your log-in information to these service providers for this purpose. When you add a Third Party Service account to the Service, we will collect your login information and other relevant information necessary to enable the Service to access that Third Party Service and your data contained within that Third Party Service. However, please remember that the manner in which Third Party Services use, store, and disclose your information is governed solely by the policies of such third parties, and MOMS Club shall have no liability or responsibility for the privacy practices or other actions of any Third Party Service that may be enabled within the Service.
