DMCA Notice and Takedown Policy
-
Introduction
Constant.com ("Constant®") implements the following DMCA Notice and Takedown
Policy.
The Constant Company respects the intellectual property rights of third parties, and expects others
to do
the
same.
As part of our effort to recognize the copyrights of third parties, The Constant Company
complies
with
the
U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") and is therefore protected by the
limitations
on
liability recognized by 17 U.S.C. § 512; commonly known as the "safe harbor" provisions
of
the
DMCA.
The Constant Company's infringement notification procedure, counter-notification procedure,

policies, are set forth below.
-
Intellectual Property Rights
-
Introduction
The DMCA permits copyright owners, or their authorized agents, to submit notifications to
service
providers, such as The Constant Company, requesting that infringing material hosted on
The Constant Company's
servers be disabled or removed. Importantly, the DMCA imposes significant penalties –
including
court
costs and attorneys fees – on those who abuse the infringement notification procedure, by
misrepresenting either that material is infringing, or was removed by mistake. See; 17
U.S.C. §
512(f).
The Constant Company will pursue those who abuse its DMCA notice or counter-notification
procedure,
and
will cooperate with law enforcement in any investigation of such abuse. Please make sure
that
you
meet
all the qualifications before submitting a DMCA notice to our Designated Agent identified
below.
-
Notification Contents and Procedure
If you believe that your work has been copied, reproduced, altered or published in a way
that
constitutes copyright infringement under federal law, or your copyrights have been otherwise
violated,
please submit a DMCA notice to The Constant Company's Designated Copyright Agent, containing
the
following:
1. an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the
owner
of
the
copyright or other intellectual property interest;
2. a description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim
has
been
infringed;
3. a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on
The Constant Company's
servers (preferably including specific URL's associated with the material);
4. your full name, address, telephone number, and email address;
5. a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not
authorized
by
the
copyright owner, its agent(s), or the law; and
6. a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your
Notice
is
accurate and that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to
act
on
the
copyright or intellectual property owner's behalf.
Claimants may send their Notice of Claimed Infringement to:
David Gucker, DMCA Agent
319 Clematis Street Suite 900

procedure set forth in 17 U.S.C. §512 of the DMCA. The procedure for notifying The Constant Company
of
claimed
copyright infringement is set forth in Section 7.2, hereof. If the DMCA notice does not comply
with
§512
of
the DMCA, but does substantially comply with the (3) three requirements for identifying
infringing
works
according to §512 of the DMCA, The Constant Company shall attempt to contact or take other
reasonable
steps
to
reach the complaining party to assist that party comply with sending a compliant DMCA Notice. As
noted
above, when The Constant Company's Designated Agent receives a valid notice, The Constant Company will
act

Section 230 Notice: You acknowledge Your responsibility to prevent minors under Your care
from
accessing
harmful or inappropriate material on Your site. You agree not to allow minors to view any
such
site,
and
agree to take responsible measures to prevent them from doing so. Numerous commercial online
safety
filters are available which may help users limit minors' access to harmful or inappropriate
material.
Pursuant to 47 U.S.C. §230(d), you are hereby informed that you can research such services
at
websites,
such as www.asacp.org. Please note that this Site makes no representation or warranty
regarding
any
of
the products or services referenced on such sites, and recommend that the user conduct
appropriate
due
diligence before purchasing or installing any online filter. You agree to take particular
steps
to
prevent minors from viewing this site if Your computer can be accessed by a minor. Finally,
You
agree
that if You are a parent or guardian of a minor child, it is Your responsibility, not Ours,
to
keep
any
age-restricted content on Our Site from being displayed or accessed by Your children or
wards.
Pursuant to the Communications Decency Act ("CDA"), 47 U.S.C. § 230(c)(1), and court
decisions
interpreting
the scope of the CDA, You acknowledge and understand that The Constant Company operates as
the
provider
of an
interactive computer service. Thus, We are immune from, and cannot be held responsible
for,
claims
arising
from the publication of Your content (including third-party content published on Your
website(s)).
We do not
create such content, and We are not responsible for the publication of remarks or
communications
of
You or
third-parties that may arguably rise to the level of being actionable under federal or
state
laws
including,
but not limited to, the publication of material that might be considered defamatory, or
violative of
privacy
or publicity rights. Note, that federal law allows The Constant Company to remove any
content
found
to
be
offensive, defamatory, obscene or otherwise violative of Our policies, without impacting
Our
immunity status
as an interactive computer service. Nothing contained in this paragraph is intended to
limit
or
alter the
immunity from claims provided by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. In the
event
that
any court
finds that any third party communication or third party content hosted by us falls
outside
of
the
realm of
the immunity provided by the CDA, this shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any legal
protections
provided
by Section 230 for any and all other content posted on our Website or hosted via our
Services.

In keeping with Our DMCA policies and obligations set forth above, You understand, agree,
and
expressly
allow Us to access and subsequently disable public access to any files or data residing on
the
server,
disk, partition, or other data space under Your control as Our customer when such files or
data,
in
Our
discretion; 1), have been identified in a substantially compliant DMCA notice under 17
U.S.C. §
512;
or
2) when We become aware of facts or circumstances indicating that such files or data are
infringing
on
the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of third parties. Given that Our
customers
may
employ various methods of securing files in conjunction with Our Services, and in an attempt
to
avoid
material disruption of Our customers' Services, You agree that You will provide Us with Your
preferred
procedure for disabling access to material identified under this provision. If We forward
You a
substantially compliant DMCA Notice and which concerns content under Your control, You are
obligated
under this Agreement to immediately disable or remove access to such content. Irrespective
of
the
above,
We reserve the right to disable or remove access to such content, in Our discretion, and
without
claim
of damage or injury by You. While We will attempt to simply disable access to such content
without
fully
deleting it, or suspending all services to your account, We make no warranties concerning
harm
or
injury
to the content, and reserve the right to take any necessary actions to disable access to the
identified
material, including suspension or termination of Services. It is therefore in Your best
interest
to
promptly respond to any DMCA Notices You may receive. Should You or Your website's users
feel
that
such
DMCA Notice was erroneously or improperly sent, You must follow the Counter-Notification
procedure
set
forth above, and wait the required period of time, before We allow public access to the
content
to
resume.

Payment
-
Payment for Services is due in advance of the time period for which such payment covers.
Services
are
billed on an automatic and recurring basis unless and until you follow The Constant Company's
cancellation
procedure set forth in this Agreement.
-
Unless separately negotiated by You and Us, and confirmed by separate written agreement, the
initial

recurring Fees for the Services selected by You shall be as provided in the initial on-line
order
form.
All set-up fees and special programming fees are non-refundable. Fees for Services are
payable
in
advance. Failure to make payment of Fees for Services when due may result in the suspension
or
termination of Services.
-
At the time of registration, You must select a payment method. The Constant Company reserves
the
right
to
contract with a third party to process all payments. Such third party may impose additional
terms
and
conditions governing payment processing. If You do not pay all Fees when due, Your account
will
be
deemed past due. For any past due Fees, The Constant Company will charge You interest at one
and
one-half
percent (1.5%) or the highest rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is lower, per month
of
the
unpaid amount, until paid.
-
You agree to pay any and all taxes, including personal property, value added, or sales
taxes,
resulting

incurred
by
You
due to Your use of check cards, automatic payment services, insufficient funds, and any and
all
other
fees your financial institution may impose due to Your use of the Services. If The Constant Company
should
receive less than full payment of the Fees due to taxes, bank charges, transfer fees, or the
like,
The Constant Company will invoice You for the difference between payment received and the Fees
due.
-
You also agree to pay all attorney and collection fees arising from The Constant Company's
efforts
to
collect any past due Fees. If you cancel any Service prior to the expiration of the pre-paid
Fees,
You
understand and agree that The Constant Company will not issue You any refund whatsoever,
including
but
not
limited to any remaining pre-paid Fees, set up Fees, and/or special programming Fees.
-
Coupons and Discount Codes – From time to time, The Constant Company may offer
coupons
or
other discount
codes which may be used when signing up for hosting with Us. Coupons and discount codes are
for
first-time customers of The Constant Company and must be used at the time of Your initial
purchase
with
Us
– they may not be applied after Your service with Us has already been initiated. Unless
expressly
provided, such coupons and discount codes may not be used toward upgrades to Your account.
Any
account
We deem to be attempting unauthorized coupon or discount code use may be subject to
Termination
for
Cause.
-
Back Ups & Data Loss
-
You agree that Your use of The Constant Company's Services is at Your own risk, and that
The Constant Company
is not liable for any data loss in connection with its Services. You are solely responsible
for
creating
backups of Your Content. If, during Our own routine maintenance, We do create a backup of
Your
Content
which You later request Us to restore to Your account, We cannot guarantee that we will be
able
to
do
so, or that Your Content will be unharmed as a result of the initial data loss or the
subsequent
restore
procedure. To that end, We highly recommend that You establish Your own routine backup
procedure
and
that You periodically test restoring files from Your backup media to ensure that You are
making
viable
backups.
-
Should you wish for The Constant Company to provide you with routine backup service, in
addition to
the
Services provided under this Agreement please contact Us. We offer many different backup
solutions
as an
add-on service to Our regular Services, and all such services are provided through a
separate,
written
agreement.
-
Usage & Security
-
The Constant Company does not impose hard set limits on each account's system resources. We do
not
actively
disable accounts until they greatly exceed an acceptable level of usage. There are numerous
activities
that
could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc. The Constant Company
will
advise
You of a temporary block placed on any account found to be consuming an inordinate amount of
system
resources, to the point of degrading overall system performance.
-

disassemble, or make derivative works from the Site and/or Materials. You hereby agree not

damages,

Disabling Cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you
prefer, you can adjust your browser options to block them in the future. Users of
our Services who disable cookies will be able to browse certain areas of the
Services, but some features may not function correctly.
-
Clear GIFs (a/k/a. web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags). Clear GIFs are tiny
unobtrusive graphics that appear invisible on web but trigger a browser call to a
third party server that enables us to track User activities on the Services, better
manage our content, and monitor Services metrics (such as page views and the
performance of advertising campaigns directing traffic to certain website pages).
We and our third party service providers may also use this technology in HTML
emails to track email read and response rates, and track whether such emails are
forwarded.
-
Third Party Analytics. We use certain third party performance tools such as
Google Analytics to evaluate usage of our Services and help us improve our
services, performance, and user experiences. These entities may use cookies and
other tracking technologies to perform their services. To learn more about
Google’s privacy practices, please review the Google Policy
at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/. You can also download the Google

Third-Party Ad Networks We may use third parties to serve advertisements on
third-party websites or other media (e.g., social networking platforms). This
enables us and these third parties to target advertisements to individuals
regarding products and services they may be interested in. Third-party ad
network providers, advertisers, sponsors and/or traffic measurement services
may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), Flash LSOs and
other tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to
personalize advertising content to you. These third-party cookies and other
technologies are governed by each third party’s specific privacy policy, not this
one. We may provide these third-party advertisers with information, including
personal data , about you.
Users in the United States may opt out of many third-party ad networks. For example,
you may go to the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Consumer Choice Page for
information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding
having information used by DAA companies. You may also go to the Network
Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) Consumer Opt-Out Page for information about opting out
of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding having information used by NAI
members. Opting out from one or more companies listed on the DAA Consumer Choice
Page or the NAI Consumer Opt-Out Page will opt you out from those companies’
delivery of interest-based content or ads to you, but it does not mean you will no longer
receive any advertising through our Services or on other websites. You may continue to
receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are
viewing (i.e., contextually based ads). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject
cookies when you opt out on the DAA or NAI websites, your opt out may not be
effective. Additional information is available on the DAA’s website
at www.aboutads.info or the NAI’s website at www.networkadvertising.org.
(C) Information from other sources
We may also receive information about you from third party sources, such as fraud and risk scoring from businesses like MaxMind, Kount, and ZoomInfo. We may also obtain information
from social media platforms that individuals use to engage with us.

8. State-Specific Privacy Rights
(A) State specific Privacy Policies are outlined in the US Privacy Policy
This Section is provided specifically for California, Virginia, Connecticut, Colorado,
Delaware, Utah, Iowa, Indiana, Tennessee, Oregon, Montana, and Texas. In addition to
the disclosures provided in this Policy, (if you are a resident after January 1, 2024) you

-
You may request a copy of the following: (1) the categories of personal data we
collected about you; (2) the categories of sources from which the personal data is

sold.
-
You may request that we (and our service providers) correct your personal data if
it is inaccurate or delete your personal data. Note that deletion requests are
subject to certain limitations, for example, we may retain personal data as
permitted by law, such as for tax or other record keeping purposes, to maintain
an active account, to process transactions and facilitate customer requests, and
for certain other internal business purposes described in this Notice.
If you have an Account with us, you may access and change certain personal data (such
as profile and transaction information) directly through your Account after logging in to
the Services. Otherwise, to request a copy of personal data we have collected about
you, to request a correction of your information, or to request that the your information
be deleted, please contact us as provided at https://www.vultr.com/contact/. You may
authorize another person (your “agent”) to submit a request on your behalf the same
way. Shortly after you (or your agent) submit a request, we will check our records for
matching information and contact you (via email at the email address provided during
submission of your request) with instructions on how to verify the request before we
fulfill it. We will aim to complete your requests as soon as reasonably practicable and
consistent with any applicable laws. Note that you can access and update Account
information, or opt out of email marketing, as provided above.
You also have the right at any time to opt out of (i) selling or sharing of your personal
data to third parties, and (ii) targeted advertising through third parties. We do not
transfer your personal data to third parties in exchange for money but information may
be shared with certain third party advertising partners for our targeted advertising
purposes, specifically, limited identifying information may be shared with such partners
through targeting cookies or other means.
-
You can click on the “Your Privacy Choices” link in our website footer to opt-out
of third party targeting cookies. As noted above, we also endeavor to process
GPC signals from web browsers by automatically opting-out such visitors from
third party targeting cookies, although GPC technology is not fully developed and
it is not yet supported by all browsers.
-
Other than with respect to such targeting cookies, you can contact us at
https://www.vultr.com/contact/ as provided above to exercise your opt-out
rights.
Privacy laws may provide you with other opt-out rights which are inapplicable to us. In
particular, we do not engage in impactful profiling activities with respect to Users, and
we do not collect, use or disclose sensitive personal data (such as government
identification number, precise geolocation, financial account credentials, etc.) except for
the specific purpose(s) that you provide it.
We may not, and will not, discriminate against any individual for exercising their privacy
rights, including those provided by the applicable privacy laws. Please note that we may
otherwise continue to share your personal data with our affiliates and service providers,
and as otherwise directed by you, for the purposes described in this Notice.
If we deny a privacy request, you may appeal the decision to us at the contact
information provided below. To the extent possible, please describe the basis for your
appeal and if there is any specific personal data that concern you. We will endeavor to
provide a prompt response. If we deny your appeal, you can raise concerns with your
state’s Office of the Attorney General.
(B) Residents of California Only
This Section is provided specifically for California residents.
-
Financial Incentives. We do not generally provide a loyalty program or other
financial incentive in return for the collection or use of personal data. On some
occasions we may engage in a limited-time marketing event, promotional offer or
discount on fees that includes a registration or other collection of personal data, and we will disclose the benefits and terms of that promotion at the time of
collection.
-
Privacy rights requests for non-customers.
-
California privacy rights apply to all individuals (not just website visitors or
Registered Users), including job applicants, current and former employees,
contractors and business partners. Job applicants may provide contact
information and resume-related information (e.g., past education and
experience) as well as complete relevant background checks. Employees
receive internal privacy disclosure relevant to them. Contractors and
business partners provide business contact information and payment-
related information as necessary to facilitate a prospective or actual
business relation. Due to the nature of these relationships, the precise
collection and use of personal data can vary.
-
All such individuals who are California residents can request additional
information about our privacy practices with respect to their information,
as well as make the access, deletion, correction and opt-out requests
described above, by contacting us at [email protected]. Please provide
sufficient information that we can identify you, and be aware that we may
employ a more extensive authentication process to verify your identity
before responding to your request.
-
Do Not Track. Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference you can set in most
browsers but there is no standard interpretation or practice for responding to
DNT signals (see https://allaboutdnt.com/ for more information), and we
therefore handle all user information consistent with this Notice. We do
endeavor to support browser GPC signals as discussed above.
-
Direct Marketing. We do not share personal data such as your contact
information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
-
California Minors. As stated above, our Services are intended for a general
audience and not directed toward children or those who cannot enter into
binding Terms with us. In the event a California resident under the age of 18 has
posted information to a public-facing forum we offer, the individual may contact
us as directed below to request that we remove or anonymize such content to
the extent required by California law.
(C) Nevada residents
Please note that we do not sell personal data as defined by Nevada law (Nevada Revised
Statutes, Chapter 603A, Section 1.6), but you can submit a request to us as directed
below regarding the sale of such information.
9. International Notices
This section is specifically intended for individuals residing outside of the United States
(“US”). This includes residents of the European Economic Area ("EEA") including the
European Union ("EU"), the United Kingdom ("UK"), Switzerland and other relevant
jurisdictions with respect to privacy and data protection laws applicable to us.
(A) Legitimate Bases for Processing
Where required by law, all processing of personal data is justified by a legally-recognized
basis for processing. In the majority of cases, processing will be justified on one or more
of the following bases for processing:
-
The processing is necessary to perform a contract with you (such as if you
subscribe to our Services) or take steps to enter into a contract at your request
(such as to fulfill an order), or to provide product information you have
requested;
-
The processing is necessary for us to comply with a relevant legal obligation, such
as keeping accounting records;
-
The processing is in our legitimate interests, which are not overridden by your
interests and fundamental rights. Our legitimate interests are to use subscriber,
website user, supplier and customer data to reasonably and responsibly conduct
and develop our business activities without abusing any privacy interests or rights
of such individuals; and
-
In some instances, we rely on your consent to our processing (at times as a
secondary basis for processing in an abundance of caution).
(B) Transfer of Personal Data
If you are in the EEA/EU, the UK, Switzerland or another jurisdiction that has imposed
specific legal requirements regarding the lawful transfer of personal data from that
jurisdiction to another country (e.g., the US), to the extent that we engage in such a
transfer of your personal data (a “Cross-Border Transfer”) we will take steps to ensure
that such Cross-Border Transfer satisfies applicable legal requirements. In particular:
-
If we transfer personal data to a jurisdiction deemed by relevant regulatory
authorities to provide adequate protection for personal data, we will rely on such
adequacy decision, as applicable; and
-
If we transfer personal data to a jurisdiction that is not recognized under such an
adequacy decision, we will take steps to conduct the Cross-Border Transfer using other legally-valid mechanisms, such as by entering into data transfer
agreements with standard contractual clauses ("SCCs") among our affiliates and
with relevant service providers, in any necessary supplementary safeguards. We
currently rely on SCCs for Cross-Border Transfers to the US, and are monitoring
evolving laws and regulatory developments to assess if and when alternative or
supplemental measures are available or necessary.
For more information about the mechanism under which your personal data may be
subject to Cross-Border Transfers, please contact us at [email protected].
(C) Exercising Your Privacy Rights
Residents of certain jurisdictions are entitled to exercise certain rights under privacy
laws applicable to their personal data. The rights described below are, for example,
applicable to residents of the EEA/EU, Switzerland, UK, Brazil and other jurisdictions
with laws similar to GDPR.
-
Right to withdraw consent - to the extent we rely on consent for the collection,
use or disclosure of your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your
consent at any time. For example, if you wish to opt-out of receiving electronic
marketing communications, you can change available settings in your Account,
use the 'unsubscribe' link in our emails, or contact us directly.
-
Right of access, rectification, and erasure - you have the right to request access to
and obtain a copy of your personal data that we maintain, to request correction
of any inaccurate data about you, or request the deletion of your personal data.
We will fulfill these rights consistent with legal requirements and guidance as to
our obligations. Note that in many respects you can access and correct much of
your personal data directly by logging into your Account.
-
Data portability - o the extent we rely (as the legal basis for processing) upon
your consent, or our processing is necessary to perform a prospective or actual
contract with you , and personal data is processed by automatic means, you have
the right to receive the personal data which we received in a structured,
commonly-used and machine-readable format, that can be transmitted to
another party where technically feasible.
-
Right to restriction of processing - you have the right to restrict our processing of your personal data where:
-
you contest the accuracy of the personal data, until we have taken
sufficient steps to correct or verify its accuracy;
-
where the processing is unlawful but you do not want us to erase the
personal data;
-
where we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of
processing, but you require such personal data for the establishment,
exercise or defense of legal claims; or
-
where you have objected to processing justified on legitimate interest
grounds (see below), pending verification as to whether we have
compelling legitimate grounds to continue processing.
-
Where your personal data is subject to restriction we will only process it
with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal
claims.
-
Lodge a complaint - You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the
supervisory authority where you reside, work or where alleged infringement
occurred, if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes
applicable law.
-
Right to object to processing (including profiling) based on legitimate interest grounds - where we are relying upon legitimate interests to process personal
data, you have the right to object to that processing. If you object, we must stop
that processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the
processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or we need to
process the personal data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal
claims. Where we rely upon legitimate interest as a basis for processing we
believe that we can demonstrate such compelling legitimate grounds, but we will
consider requests in this regard on an individual basis.
-
Right to object to direct marketing (including profiling) - you have the right to
object to our use of your personal data (including profiling) for direct marketing
purposes, such as when we use your personal data to invite you to our
promotional events
Please contact us as provided at https://www.vultr.com/contact/ if you wish to exercise
any of your rights, or if you have any inquiries or complaints regarding the processing of
your personal data.
10. Security Measures
We maintain commercially-reasonable security measures designed to protect the
transmission and storage of personal data, and ensure the integrity and security of our
network and systems . This can include technical measures like encryption and firewalls,
and organizational measures like security policies and procedures. Nevertheless, we
cannot guarantee that our security measures will prove effective in all instances, such as
due to sophisticated cyber-attacks. We will make any legally required disclosures in the
event of any compromise of your personal data, and to the extent the law allows us to provide such notification via e-mail or conspicuous posting on the Services, you agree to
accept notice in that form.
11. Retention of Personal Data
We apply a general rule of keeping personal data only for as long as required to fulfill
the purposes for which it was collected including (i) to provide you with our products
and services, such as to maintain Account records while active and after termination for
the purposes described above, and (ii) as reasonably as necessary for legal, tax and
accounting requirements, or if required to do so by a legal process, legal authority, or
other governmental entity having authority to make the request, for so long as required.
With respect to marketing (absent other bases for collection or use), we endeavor to
only retain personal data for 18 months after your last request for service or we engage
in some other form of contact.
12. External Sites
This Notice applies solely to personal data collected by our Services or in the course of
our business activities. The Services may contain links to third party websites or services
(including social media platforms). Vultr does not control nor is responsible for the
privacy practices of those third parties and we encourage you to review the privacy
policies of these third parties before using their websites or services.

media and other platforms. Please note that we do not always have complete
information about where our brand may be displayed or promoted, and if you believe
that we are featured in venues that are inappropriate or offensive, please contact us.

The Services are not intended for use by children under the age of 16 or anyone not of
legal age to enter into the binding Terms with us, and Vultr does not knowingly collect,
store, share or use the personal data of children under 16 years as a controller. If you
are under the age of 16, you may not use the Services or provide any personal data to
us. If anyone reports to us that we received personal data concerning any children
under the age of 16 we will endeavor to promptly delete all such personal data.
14. Job applicants and other non-Users
Job applicants provide us with personal data as part of an employment application and
review process that includes information like the applicant’s name, email, address and
the contents of a resume and cover letter. We generally use this information to evaluate
the individual for employment with us. Job applicants may provide additional
information such as for routine background checks performed by a third party provider
of such services. Other individuals we interact with may likewise provide us with contact
information or other personal data in connection with our perspective, current or
former relationship. We may provide more detailed privacy disclosures and request
specific consent to use personal data from any such individuals at the time of collection,
and you may exercise privacy rights afforded to you under applicable laws, such as the
rights described above.

Our Website, https://www.constant.com, adopts the following
Anti-Spam
Policy, effective February 2, 2021
-
PREAMBLE
This Spam Policy pertains to all Websites owned or operated by The Constant Company, LLC (hereinafter
"Constant").
Constant.com subscribes to a strict "No Spam" Policy as exhibited and explained by this Policy.
Constant.com will not profit from, nor allow anyone else to profit from Spam of any kind.
Constant.com
will terminate any and all relationships with any entity producing illegal Spam, and
Constant.com
will
cooperate with law enforcement to see to it that illegal spammers are prosecuted to the fullest
extent
of the law.
-
Who should read and follow this Policy:
If you have any relationship, whatsoever, to Constant.com, you must, as a condition
of a
continued relationship with Constant.com read and familiarize yourself with this
Policy
and
follow it in its entirety.
-
The Parties addressed in this Policy are:
The Constant Company, LLC d/b/a https://www.constant.com which may
also be referred to as "Constant®" OR Constant.com or "We, Us, or Our."
All Affiliates or members of the Website.
Any other Affiliate(s), employee(s), contractor(s), servant(s), or agent(s)
("Affiliate"
or
"you/your"), of Constant.com. The existence of one of the aforementioned
relationships
to us
neither creates nor implies the existence of another.
-
ZERO TOLERANCE FOR UNSOLICITED E-MAIL
We consider any dissemination of unsolicited commercial email (i.e., "spam") to be STRICTLY
PROHIBITED.
Although federal law allows the dissemination of unsolicited bulk email under certain, tightly
regulated
conditions, we have elected to impose a stricter, total spam ban policy, for all affiliates and
promoters of this website. This means that Members are prohibited from engaging in any bulk
email
promotions to disseminate their profiles or any other information about constant.com, regardless
of
how
the recipient email addresses are acquired, generated or obtained. This also means that use of
opt-in,
double opt-in, or any form of email address recipient list is likewise prohibited, regardless of
whether
such activities are otherwise permitted by state or federal law.
Any violation of this strict Anti-Spam Policy will be grounds for immediate termination and
forfeiture
of all unpaid commissions or entitlement thereto. We reserve the right to audit and investigate
compliance with the Anti-Spam Policy at any time, with or without notice.
We are committed to stemming the flow of Spam that is prohibited by law. However, our commitment
to
eliminating Spam goes much further than what the law requires. Spam, in all its forms, is
annoying
and
burdensome, and is inconsistent with our corporate policies. Consistent with this commitment and
our
policies, we prohibit types of Spam that have not yet been contemplated by the law, including:
-
Spim or instant messenger Spam;
-
Spamming of internet newsgroups;
-
Spamming on Craigslist or other classified services, except in areas designated for such
use;
-
use of any personal service to Spam other members;
-
any other method of Spamming.
-
INDEMNIFICATION
All affiliates, agents, employees or other promoters using any form of electronic commercial
mail
promotion in violation of this policy agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any and all
claims,
charges, counts, debts, suits or other allegations arising from violations of the Act, or other
applicable laws regulating transmission of commercial email. Constant.com shall provide
immediate
notice
of any and all such claims, however the Site shall select its own attorneys to defend such
claims,
at
the sole and exclusive expense of the affiliate, agent, employee or promoter responsible for the
alleged
violation.
-
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Constant.com may suspend any instance which it believes to be transmitting or is otherwise
connected
with any spam or other unsolicited bulk email, pending investigation/resolution in cooperation
with
the
account holder.
Any questions or comments regarding this Anti-Spam Policy should be directed to: [email protected].

All processing and use of your personal data is justified by a "condition" for processing. In the

product
information you have requested;
-
the processing is necessary for us to comply with a relevant legal obligation, such as keeping
accounting
records;
-
the processing is in our legitimate interests, which are not overridden by your interests and
fundamental
rights. Our legitimate interests are to use subscriber, Site user, supplier and customer data to
conduct
and
develop our business activities with them and with others while limiting the use of their personal

users may be one of the transferred assets;
We also use non-personal data and aggregate information, such as that collected automatically, to
customize
our
marketing efforts or to customize the use of our site for an aggregate group of customers.
The Constant Company will not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.
Disclosure of Personal Data
We may disclose personal data about Site visitors, users of our Services, or our suppliers or customers
if,
in
our sole discretion, we believe that it is reasonable to do so, including:
-
To satisfy any laws, regulations, or governmental or legal requests for such data;
-
To disclose personal data that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against
someone
who
may be violating our Acceptable Use Policy or other user policies;
-
To protect ourselves, our subscribers, and the general public. We specifically reserve the right to
disclose
any and all information (including personal data) to law enforcement in the event that a crime is
committed,

discovery requests, subpoenas, court orders, writs, or reasonable request of authorities or persons
with
the
reasonable power to obtain such process.

reasonable request of authorities or persons with the reasonable power to obtain such process.
Transfer of Personal Data
If your personal data is transferred outside the EU to other The Constant Company affiliates or to third
party
service providers, we will take steps to ensure that your personal data receives the same level of
protection as
if it remained within the EU, including by entering into data transfer agreements using the European
Commission
approved Standard Contractual Clauses. The country to which your personal data is transferred, and
whether
each
country benefits from a decision of the European Commission determining that the country provides
adequate
protection to personal data, is the United States of America. You have a right to obtain details of the
mechanism under which your personal data is transferred outside of the EU by contacting [email protected].

collect,
store, share or use the personal data of children under 16 years. If you are under the age of 16 years,

our
existing and new programs. You may opt out of these announcements by filling out the form at https://www.constant.com/unsubscribe/ or by clicking

receive
system notices and other information that is specifically related to your subscription account.
Security
We take measures, including data encryption, to protect the transmission of all sensitive end-user
information.
We make reasonable efforts to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems.
Nevertheless, we
cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party 'hackers' from illegally obtaining
this
information. We take all reasonable measures to prevent such breaches of security, but given the
resourcefulness
of cyber-criminals we are unable to guarantee that our security is 100% breach-proof. You assume the
risk of
such breaches to the extent that they occur despite our reasonable security measures.
Retention of Your Personal Data
We apply a general rule of keeping personal data only for as long as required to fulfill the purposes
for
which
it was collected. In general, we retain your personal data for a period of time corresponding to a
statute
of
limitation, for example to maintain an accurate record of your dealings with us. However, in some
circumstances
we may retain personal data for other periods of time, for instance where we are required to do so in
accordance
with legal, tax and accounting requirements, or if required to do so by a legal process, legal
authority, or
other governmental entity having authority to make the request, for so long as required.
With respect to marketing, we retain your personal data for 18 months after your last request for
service or
other contact you initiate.
External Links
The Site may contain links to third party sites. Since The Constant Company does not control nor is
responsible
for

party
sites. This Notice applies solely to personal data collected by our Sites or in the course of our
business
activities.
Your Rights
-
Right to withdraw consent - where applicable, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any
time.
For
example, if you wish to opt-out of receiving electronic marketing communications, you can change
your
settings in your account on the Site, use the 'unsubscribe' link provided in our emails or otherwise
contact
us directly and we will stop sending you communications.
-
Right of access, rectification and erasure - you have the right to request access to and obtain a
copy
of
any of your personal data that we may hold, to request correction of any inaccurate data relating to
you
and
to request the deletion of your personal data under certain circumstances. You can see and update
most
of
this data yourself online, or by contacting us directly at https://www.constant.com/contact/
-
Data portability - where we are relying (as the legal basis for processing) upon your consent, or
the
fact
that the processing is necessary to perform a contract to which you are party or to take steps at
your
request prior to entering a contract, and the personal data is processed by automatic means, you
have
the
right to receive all such personal data which you have provided us in a structured, commonly used
and
machine-readable format, and also to require us to transmit it to another controller where this is
technically feasible.
-
Right to restriction of processing - you have the right to restrict our processing of your personal
data
(that is, allow only its storage) where:
-
you contest the accuracy of the personal data, until we have taken sufficient steps to
correct
or
verify its accuracy;
-
where the processing is unlawful but you do not want us to erase the personal data;
-
where we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you
require
such
personal data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
-
where you have objected to processing justified on legitimate interest grounds (see below),
pending
verification as to whether we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue processing.
-
Where your personal data is subject to restriction we will only process it with your consent or for
the
establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
-
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority of your habitual
residence,
place of work or place of alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of your personal
data
infringes applicable law.
-
Right to object to processing (including profiling) based on legitimate interest grounds - where we
are
relying upon legitimate interests to process personal data, you have the right to object to that
processing.
If you object, we must stop that processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds
for
the
processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or we need to process the personal
data
for
the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Where we rely upon legitimate interest as a
basis
for processing we believe that we can demonstrate such compelling legitimate grounds, but we will
consider
each case on an individual basis.
-
Right to object to direct marketing (including profiling) - you have the right to object to our use
of
your
personal data (including profiling) for direct marketing purposes, such as when we use your personal
data to
invite you to our promotional events.

your rights, or if you have any inquiries or complaints regarding the processing of your personal data.
