Privacy Policy

Effective Date: December 10, 2019

MacDuff Enterprises, Inc. dba 729 Solutions (the “Company”) takes privacy matters seriously and wants you to be familiar with how we collect, use, and disclose data. The Company provides this Privacy Policy to explain our practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of personal information that apply to our website at https://729solutions.com/, including, without limitation, our mobile websites, mobile applications, social networking or other interactive media sites, other online or mobile services, and any other platforms that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Site”), as well as your choices regarding the collection and use of your information. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information we collect by means (including offline) or from other sources other than through the Site.

As part of our commitment, we strive to protect the privacy of visitors to the Site. You can navigate the majority of the Site without giving us any personal information which identifies you. However, sometimes we need additional information about you in order to provide you with information or services you want to receive from us.

In this digital world, privacy is important to the Company and should be important to you. The Company believes in transparency and we provide this notice so that you can understand our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.

The Company collects and processes two basic types of information:

Personally identifiable information: This is information that personally identifies one individual from another or enables you to be individually contacted (for example, names, e-mail addresses and other contact information) (“Personally Identifiable Information”). This information is voluntarily provided to us by Site visitors and is used by us for the purpose of responding to user submissions and fulfilling requests for further information about our services. The Company only collects Personally Identifiable Information that you voluntarily provide, for example, when you use our “Contact Us” feature. Under such circumstances you consent to our use/processing of the information you provide consistent with this policy.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information: We also collect and use information about your interactions with the Site in a manner and format that does not identify you as an individual (“Non-Personally Identifiable Information”). This information gives us insights on how Site visitors use our site. This data is anonymous and does not contain any personally identifiable information. We use this information to ensure that our website, e-mails and marketing efforts continue to appeal to Site visitors and clients. Generally, we do not combine or associate Non-Personally Identifiable Information with your Personally Identifiable Information. If we do combine Non-Personally Identifiable Information with Personally Identifiable Information, we treat the combined information as Personally Identifiable Information. We may collect, use, and disclose Non-Personally Identifiable Information as set forth below.

We store the personal information you provide in a secure database in order to provide you with the information, products, and/or services you request and may be used to provide you with additional information about our services we believe may be of interest to you. The information is stored for a time period and in a manner relevant to responding to your request unless you request that it be removed. The information you provide us will be shared with the Company employees and service providers to the extent necessary to administrate our systems and/or accommodate your request.

For example, if you provide your name, mailing address, telephone and/or email address and request more information about the Company’s services, this information will be shared with appropriate Company personnel to fulfill your request. This information will not be shared with non-affiliated third parties without your consent.

We use non-identifying and aggregate information about the use of the Site to improve the navigation, content, and design of the Site. This information may include, for example, the most and least requested pages, analyzing traffic regarding specific features, and the number of users from the U.S. and other countries, among other things.

The Company will not sell or distribute personally identifiable information collected from you outside of the Company without your consent (subject to the limited exceptions stated in this policy).

The Company may preserve and has the right to disclose any information about you or your use of the Site without your prior permission if the Company has a good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) protect and defend the rights, property or safety of the Company or its clients or their respective partners, employees, affiliates, other users of the Site, or the public; or (b) respond to claims related to your use of the Site. We may also disclose information as required by law or subpoena to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or lawful governmental request (including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements) or in the event of a sale or potential sale, merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or dissolution of the Company or one of its business units or similar transactions or proceedings.

The Site uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to help the Site analyze how users use the Site.

The Company uses Google Analytics features including:

  • Remarketing with Google Analytics
  • Google Display Network Impression Reporting

The Company uses all features of Google Analytics for Display Advertisers. That includes obtaining specific visitor cookie data, such as the source, medium and keyword used to visit this website. Google Analytics does not store any visitor specific data and we will not use visitor specific data in any way related to Google Analytics, Google AdWords, and Remarketing.

The Company and other third-party vendors, including Google, use first-party cookies such as the Google Analytics cookie and third-party cookies such as the DoubleClick cookie together to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on visitor’s past visits to our website.

The Company uses remarketing with Google AdWords (see below) and analytics to display content specific advertisements to visitors that have previously visited our site when those visitors go to other websites that have the Google Display Network implemented.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website including your IP address will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

We use Google AdWords remarketing services to advertise on third party websites (including Google) to previous visitors to our Site. Remarketing allows us to tailor our outreach to better suit your needs and only displays ads that are relevant to you. AdWords remarketing may appear in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page, or a site in the Google Display Network, or display relevant ads tailored to your interests based on what parts of the Company’s Site you have viewed or by placing a cookie on your machine. This cookie does not in any way identify you or give access to your computer. Any data collected will be used in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

What is ReTargeting?

The main goal of ReTargeting Ads is to re-engage site visitors after they have left a site. Dynamic ReTargeting Ads are generated based on the actual products or offers viewed on the advertiser’s site. For example, if you’ve visited a retailer’s website and viewed a specific product, you might receive a banner ad containing that product. Rather than showing the same ad to every visitor, the site’s Dynamic Ad Application will select the most relevant ad copy based on the user’s activity on the site. The Site’s Personalized Retargeting Platform works when an advertiser places our tag on his website. The tag embeds a third party cookie on the browser of users visiting the Site. Using Real Time Bidding (RTB) Ad Exchanges, it is then possible to focus media buying efforts against those visitors. It is important to note that the cookie itself does not contain any personal identifying information. Our Personalized ReTargeting ads intelligently match the right offering to each visitor based on such visitor’s previous activities on the Site. Each advertiser using the Company’s service is responsible to limit the number of ad impressions shown to each user in order to ensure that viewers are not overly exposed to specific ads.

How can I remove myself from being ReTargeted?

The Site makes removing our tracking cookie easy for any user who wishes to do so. Users that don’t want to see the Company’s Personalized Ads should simply email us at privacy@729solutions.com.

The Company understands that the safety of your personal information is extremely important to you. Accordingly, the Company uses reasonable technological, physical and other measures to keep your information protected from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into due account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the personal information. Due to the nature of the Internet and related technology, we cannot guarantee the security of any information, including your Personally Identifiable Information, and the Company expressly disclaims any such obligation.

We will retain information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
