Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to all websites ("Site" or "Sites") owned and controlled by Focalleads, Inc. including www.SupportYourCause.com. ("we", "us", "SYC" or “our?. Please note that this Privacy Policy applies only to Sites owned and controlled by us and not to websites maintained by other companies to which we may link.

By using or accessing this Site, you agree that the following terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy shall govern our use and disclosure of your personal information. If you do not agree with the terms and conditions of our Privacy Policy, please do not complete any information request forms (i.e., do not register) hosted on this site or otherwise use or access this Site.

This Site is not directed at persons under the age of 18. Persons under the age of 18 must not send any personal information to us under any circumstances, including but not limited to name, address or email address.

We collect both personal and non-personal information using the methods listed below. Our primary purpose in collecting such information is to provide you with a personalized experience by displaying content and delivering offers that are likely to be of interest to you according to your preferences.

When you sign in to the website, the server automatically recognizes you by your cookie. This cookie acts as a unique identifier, which allows us to personalize the website to your specified interests and allows you to access your personal information. It also allows us to keep track of your activity on our site and allows us to properly credit rewards to your account. This information may be added to your personal profile and used to deliver offers and advertisements that are most relevant to your interests.

The Program makes active use of third-party cookies; therefore, full participation in the Program is dependent upon you setting your browser configuration to accept 3rd party cookies. We also use cookies to tailor the Program to your interests, and most importantly, to ensure that only you can access your account. We also review "log-file" data to monitor site performance and analyze traffic patterns and usage of our site.

For each visitor to our website, our server could recognize the following:

• Your browser type (e.g., Internet Explorer)
• Platform-dependent information (e.g., Windows Vista)
• Requested document (the page you're viewing)
• Referrer URL (the page you came from)
• Host origin of the request
• Date and Time of your visit
• Your registered account information
• Purchase transaction detail (from merchants on the site)
• IP address associated with User transactions in the system

This information, sometimes called log-file or clickstream data, is used to monitor site performance and ensure the Program functions properly. It may also be appended to your personal profile so that we may further tailor the Program to your interests.

Many of our advertisers, shopping affiliates and merchants also utilize third-party cookies to identify you as a user. This enables them to report your purchases back to us so we are able to credit your account.

We and our advertisers currently use third-party cookies and clear pixel GIF's (also referred to as "web beacons") to measure page views on both our sites and advertisers' web sites and email responses. These devices allow us to identify unique visitors to our site, member visits to advertisers' sites, and act as a counter for ongoing monitoring of site, email and corresponding future transaction activity related to a specific offer. These commonly used counters collect absolutely no personal information and as always, this technology is only used to enhance the Program and make it more relevant to your personal interests.

Third-party cookies are also used to count unique page views, email responses and future transaction activity corresponding to specific offers. We will also capture and store your transaction details which may include the items and quantities purchased, purchase price, date and time of purchase. This information is used to credit funds for purchases and to adjust your account balance in the event of returns and exchanges. This information is also used by the Customer Service department while assisting you in resolving account inquiries. We may also use your transaction information to provide you more timely relevant offers, products and services.

WE MAY USE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE COLLECTED FOR ANY LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE PURPOSE, INCLUDING SELLING OR TRANSFERRING SUCH INFORMATION AT ANY TIME TO THIRD PARTIES FOR ANY LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE PURPOSE.

For example, we may share your personal information with Third Party Partners so that they can contact you and offer you products and/or services that we and they believe might be of interest to you. This may include e-mail advertising, telephone marketing, direct mail marketing, and online banner advertising to name a few. You are under no obligation to accept any service or product offered by any of our Third Party Partners through these communications. In addition, we may maintain separate e-mail, mailing or phone lists for different purposes based on the information that you submitted and that we maintain. Please keep in mind that if you respond to an offer from one of our Third Party Partners, you become a customer of that Third Party Partner and are subject to its privacy policy. Further, the Third Party Partner may independently send further communications to you, in which case you will need to contact the Third Party Partner directly if you wish to unsubscribe from future communications from such Third Party Partner.

Because email is an integral part of the Program, you sign up to receive email targeted to your interests at the time of enrollment. If you later decide you wish to cease participation in this portion of the program, you may do so at any time by adjusting your email settings in the Edit Account Information section of your account or by clicking on the opt-out links.

Please note the opting not to receive email does not exempt you from receiving administrative emails that include but are not limited to, notices about vital program and membership status changes, Privacy Policy and Terms of Service updates and purchase and redemption confirmation emails.

Our website and email contain links to various other sites. While we make every effort to ensure that our advertisers post clear and complete Privacy Policies and observe appropriate data practices, each of these sites has a privacy policy that may differ from ours. The privacy practices of other websites and companies are not covered by this policy.

In the event that we were unable to capture your transaction detail, we may need to validate your transaction with an advertiser or affiliate merchant to ensure that your account is credited with the correct funds. The validation information shared is used solely for this purpose.

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time by posting a new privacy policy on the Site. Be sure to check the current terms of any privacy policy in effect by visiting this Site. By checking the effective date of the policy, you will be immediately alerted on whether the Privacy Policy has been updated. Please note however, that the updated Privacy Policy will go into effect automatically 30 days after initial posting.

If you have any questions or suggestions regarding our Privacy Policy, please contact us at:
