READCO, INC., a California corporation (“Read&Co.,” “we,”
“our” or “us”) has implemented this Privacy Policy (“Privacy
Policy”) for its readinkjet.com website (including all areas of the site)
(the “Website”), applications and software provided online and made
available offline through or in connection with the service, including through a
mobile device (collectively, the “Service”) to provide our registered
users and unregistered users and visitors (collectively “Users” or “you”)
information regarding the collection and use of your information on the Service,
so that you can make an informed decision about your use of the Service. Capitalized
terms that are not defined in this Privacy Policy have the meaning ascribed to them
in our Terms of Use.
There are general elements of our Service that you should know. We will not use
or share your Personally Identifiable Information with anyone except as described
in this Privacy Policy. Read&Co. does not own your user generated content. For
further details on using the Service please refer to our Terms of Use Agreement
available here.
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected by Read&Co. and does not
apply to information collected by any third-party sites to which the Service may
link or to information provided to, or collected by, third-parties through third-party
cookies, web beacons, or other third-party technologies served during your visit
to the Service.
Please see the Do Not Track section of this Privacy
Policy for how the Service responds to “Do Not Track Mechanisms”.

this web page for updates to our Privacy Policy. In the event we make material changes
to this Privacy Policy, we will provide notice through our Service, or by other
means, to provide you with an opportunity to review the changes before they become
effective. If you object to any changes, you may close your account.
By using the Service, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.
You acknowledge that your continued use of our Service after we publish or send
a notice about changes to our Privacy Policy means that the collection, use and
sharing of your personal data is subject to this Privacy Policy.
The Information We Collect
When you visit our Service we may collect information regarding your visit from
your computer. Such information helps us to determine information about how you
found our Service, the date that you visited our Service and search engines that
may have led you to our Service. We collect this information in order to continually
improve and enhance the functionality of the Service.
Generally, you may provide us with two types of information, User Content, which
may include Personally Identifiable Information, and Website Usage Information,
both of which are discussed in greater detail below.
Any or all of these activities with regard to the above-described Website Usage
Information may be performed on our behalf by our third-party service providers.
How We Use Your Information
1. Personal Information.
If you submit information to us through the Service, including registration information,
then we use this information to operate, maintain, and provide the features and
functionality of the Service. By providing your email address to Read&Co., you
consent to our using the email address to send you Service-related notices, including
among other things notices required by law, in lieu of postal mail. You may not
opt out of Service-related e-mails. We may also use your email address to send you
other messages, including changes to Service features and special offers.
2. Usage Information.
We use non-Personally Identifiable Information, such as anonymous Website use data
and IP addresses, to improve the quality and design of the Service and to create
new features and services by storing, tracking, and analyzing your preferences and
trends. We may use such information to: (a) remember information so that you will
not have to re-enter it during your current or subsequent visits to the Service;
(b) provide customized content and information; (c) monitor the effectiveness of
our marketing campaigns and aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors and
traffic; (d) diagnose or fix technology problems; (e) access your information after
you sign in; (f) market our Service to advertisers and other third parties; (g)
aggregate general User statistics including demographic and geographic information;
and (h) other purposes for which your personal identity is not revealed.
3. Location-Based
Services. We collect location-based information in order to provide the
specific location-based services which you request. You understand that certain
location-based services require a location to function properly and your use of
our Application on your mobile device with such features enabled signifies your
agreement to use your location for the purposes of the Service.
When We Share Information
Read&Co. will not share your email address with advertisers or unaffiliated
third parties without first obtaining your express permission.
We may provide information, including personal information, to our subsidiaries,
affiliated companies, or subcontractors, so such parties can, among other things
(a) perform services and/or process such information on our behalf, (b) use the
information to offer greater functionality and enhanced services through the Service
and provide you with additional product and service opportunities, and (c) communicate
these opportunities to you. When we do this, the recipients of your information
are bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy.
The services of any third party websites linked to our websites, are not within
the scope of this Privacy Policy and Read&Co. expressly disclaims any liability,
obligation or responsibility whatsoever for the content or use of such third-party
websites or services.
We may share non-Personally Identifiable Information (such as anonymous Website
use data) with third-parties to assist them in understanding our Service, including
Users’ use of our Service and the services we provide and the success of advertisements
and promotions.
We may share non-personally identifiable aggregated user data, such as aggregated
gender, age, geographic, and usage data (without the inclusion of a user’s
name or other identifying information) to advertisers and other third parties for
their marketing and promotional purposes.
We may use analytics services provided by third parties that use cookies and other
similar technologies to collect information about the Service without identifying
individual visitors. The third parties that provide us with these services may also
collect information about your use of third-party websites and applications.
We may share location-based information with third parties for their marketing and
promotional purposes if you have allowed location-based services.
We may release your information if required to do so by law, or in the good-faith
belief that such action is necessary to comply with state or federal laws or respond
to a court order, subpoena, law enforcement or regulatory request, or search warrant.
We reserve the right to collect and share any information: (i) in order to investigate,
prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities; (ii) as
appropriate or necessary to enforce our Terms of Use or investigate potential or
actual violations of the Terms of Use or Privacy Policy; (iii) take precautions
against liability; (iv) to protect the security or integrity of our Service; (v)
to exercise or protect our rights and property, the Service, or the rights and personal
safety of Read&Co. affiliates, Users or others; or (vi) for other legitimate
purposes.
We may assign or transfer the information we collect to a third party in the event
that Read&Co. is acquired by or merged with a third party entity, or due to
our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or similar situation.
We reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you in the event
we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets. Should such a sale
or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use
personal information you have provided through our Service in a manner that is consistent
with this Privacy Policy.
Rights to Opt-In / Opt-out
You have the right to “opt in” and/or “opt out” of certain
of our uses of your Personally Identifiable Information. For example, you may have
the opportunity to elect whether you would like to receive correspondence from us
and/or third party service providers. Your personal information will not be shared
with third party service providers unless consent is given by you. You will have
the opportunity to opt out of our promotional e-mails by clicking the “opt
out” or “unsubscribe” link in the e-mail you receive. You can
also request this by sending an e-mail to info@readinkjet.com
specifying whether: (a) you would like to opt out of receiving promotional correspondence
from Read&Co. in general, or just via e-mail, postal mail and/or by phone, and/or
whether (b) you would only like to opt out of certain of our e-newsletters or correspondence.
Please understand that if you opt out of receiving promotional correspondence from
us, we may still contact you in connection with your relationship, activities, transactions
and communications with us.
Our Commitment to Children’s Privacy
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important and is mandated
by U.S. law. For these reasons, Read&Co. does not knowingly collect Personally
Identifiable Information on the Service from persons under 18 years of age, and
no part of our Service is directed to persons under 18. If you are under 18 years
of age, then you must not use or access the Service at any time or in any manner
or provide any information to the Service. If we become aware that we have inadvertently
received personal information from a visitor under the age of 18 on our Service,
we will delete the information from our records.
Rights to Access and Control Your Data
You can access or delete your personal data. You have many choices about how your
data is collected, used and shared. We offer you settings within your account to
control and manage the personal data we have about you.
For personal data that we have about you, you can:
∙ Delete Data:
You can ask us to erase or delete all or some of your personal data (e.g., if it
is no longer necessary to provide services to you).

Data: You can ask us to change, update or fix your data in certain cases, particularly
if it’s inaccurate.
∙ Object to,
or Limit or Restrict, Use of Data: You can ask us to stop using all or some of your

Residents in
Designated Countries may have additional rights under the laws of those countries.
Retention Period
Read&Co. has a variety of obligations to retain the data that you provide to
us, both to ensure that transactions can be appropriately processed, and also to
comply with laws applicable to us and to our banking providers and credit card processors.
Accordingly, even if you close your account, we will retain certain information
as necessary to meet our legal obligations and fulfill the purposes outlined in
this Privacy Policy.
We retain your Personally Identifiable Information even after you have closed your
account if reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations (including
law enforcement requests), meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, maintain
security, prevent fraud and abuse, enforce our Terms of Use, or fulfill your request
to “unsubscribe” from us. We will retain de-personalized information
after your account has been closed.
Information you have shared with others (e.g. comments, posted reviews, group posts)
will remain visible after you closed your account or deleted the information from
your own profile, and we do not control the data that other account holders copied
out of our Service. User Content associated with closed accounts will show an unknown
user as the source.
International Users
The Service is hosted in the United States and are intended for and directed to
Users in the United States. The Service is void where prohibited. If you are accessing
the Service from outside the United States, your use of the Service is governed
by U.S. law, you are transferring your Personally Identifiable Information to the
United States, and you consent to that transfer.
By providing Personally Identifiable Information to us through this Service, you
agree that it may be used by us and our Affiliated Parties for the purposes described
herein and you further understand and consent to the collection, maintenance, processing
and transfer of such information in and to the United States and other countries
and territories, which may have different privacy laws from your country of residence
and which may afford varying levels of protection for your Personally Identifiable
Information. Regardless of the laws in place in these countries, we will treat the
privacy of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. By providing
your Personally Identifiable Information to this Service, you consent to our transmission
to, and processing of your information in, any jurisdiction, in accordance with
this Privacy Policy.
EU CONSIDERATIONS
Users from the EU, EEA and Switzerland
This section of the Privacy Policy applies only if you use our Service from a country
that is a Member State of the European Union (“EU”), European Economic
Area (“EEA”) or Switzerland (the EU, EEA and Switzerland collectively,
“Designated Countries”), and supplements the information in this Privacy
Policy.
To the extent that Read&Co. is subject to the laws of the Designated Countries
when processing personal data, it shall be the “data controller” under
such laws. We have lawful bases to collect your data, as detailed in this Privacy
Policy. The nature of our business means the Personally Identifiable Information
and Usage Information will be transferred to the United States. We take appropriate
steps to ensure that recipients of your personal data are bound to duties of confidentiality
and we implement measures such as standard data protection contractual clauses to
ensure that any transferred personal data remains protected and secure. You may
request copies of these clauses by contacting info@readinkjet.com.
You may lodge a complaint with the applicable supervisory authority if you consider
that our processing of your information violates applicable law.
Your Choices
We have lawful bases to collect, use and share data about you. You have choices
about the use of your data. We will only collect and process Personally Identifiable
Information about you where we have lawful bases. Lawful bases include consent (where
you have given consent), contract (where processing is necessary for the performance
of a contract with you (e.g. to deliver the Read&Co. services you have requested))
and our legitimate interests, provided that such processing shall not outweigh your
rights and freedoms. Read&Co. will seek to obtain your additional consent where
required by applicable law. At any time, you can withdraw the consent you have provided
by going to settings.
You may, of course, decline to submit Personally Identifiable Information to the
Service, in which case you may not be able to register or Read&Co. may not be
able to provide certain services to you.
You may access, update or correct your Personally Identifiable Information by using
your account settings to edit, delete, update, or change the Personally Identifiable
Information you have provided to this Website. You may also request that we correct,
update, or remove your information from the current Website by contacting us at
info@readinkjet.com. We will respond to
your request within 30 days. However, before we are able to provide you with any
information or correct any inaccuracies, we may ask you to verify your identity
and provide other details to help us to respond to your request.
To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps (such as requesting
a password) to verify your identity before granting you profile access or making
corrections. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your password and
account information at all times.
You may decline to utilize location-based services on your mobile device. If you
do not want us to use location-based information, please refrain from using a location-based
service or click “Don’t Allow” when your mobile device requests
your location-based information.
Online Tracking Disclosures -- “Do Not Track” Settings
You may be accessing the Service via a browser that has a “Do Not Track”
setting. Under AB 370 of CalOPPA, we are required to disclose our response to a
browser’s “do not track” signal. If you have turned this setting
in your browser on, or if you are using a browser with the default setting of “Do
Not Track,” please be advised that all features of the Service may not function
in such setting. As detailed above, we collect a variety of functional and analytic
cookies in order for you to completely engage with our services.
If you wish to opt-out of the collection of tracking information you may do so according
to your browser settings; however, please be advised that such an election may limit
the functionality of the Website available to you.
Our Commitment To Data Security
We have implemented commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures
designed to secure your Personally Identifiable Information from accidental loss
and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. Such measures include,
but are not limited to, the utilization of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption
to transmit sensitive information through the Service. However, we cannot guarantee
that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use
your personal information for improper purposes. You acknowledge that you provide
your Personally Identifiable Information at your own risk.
While Read&Co. strives to protect the security and integrity of Personally Identifiable
Information on its Service, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open
global communications vehicle, we cannot guarantee that your information, during
transmission through the Internet or while otherwise in our care, will be safe from
intrusion of others. You should also be aware that if you contact us by email or
a “contact us” or similar feature on the Service, your transmission
might not be secure. An unaffiliated third party could view information you send
by these methods in transit. You should also be aware that if you are accessing
the Service via a mobile device, your transmissions may not be secure due to the
inherent nature of mobile data carrier networks. We will have no liability for disclosure
of your information due to errors or unauthorized acts of third parties during or
after transmission.
If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure
(for example, if you feel that the security of any account with us has been compromised),
please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us in accordance with
the information provided in the Introduction to this Privacy Policy.
Compromise of Personal Information
In the event that personal information is compromised as a result of a breach of
security, Read&Co. will promptly notify those persons whose personal information
has been compromised, in accordance with the notification procedures set forth in
this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise required by applicable law.
In the event the breach involves your online account credentials, we will provide
notification in electronic form and direct you to promptly change your password
and security question, as applicable, or to take other appropriate steps to protect
the online account as well as any other online accounts for which you use the same
credentials or security question and answer. You consent to our use of e-mail
as a means of such notification. If you would prefer us to use another method to
notify you in this situation, please e-mail us at
info@readinkjet.com with the alternative and/or additional contact information
you would like us to use.
Notification Procedures
It is our policy to provide notifications, whether such notifications are required
by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to Users via email
notice, written or hard copy notice, or through conspicuous posting of such notice
on our Website, as determined by Read&Co. in its sole discretion. Read&Co.
reserves the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to
our Users, provided that you may opt out of certain means of notification as described
in this Privacy Policy.
