Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how NITRO Beverage Co.. and its affiliates (“NITRO” or “we” or “our” or “us”) treat certain information collected or provided in connection with an end user’s (“you” or “your”
 or “user”) use of NITRO’s www.drinkNITRO.com website (the “Site”) and all services provided by NITRO in connection with the Site (such services together with the Site, the “Services”). Please note that your use of the Services constitutes your acceptance of this Policy as set forth below:

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully.

1. SCOPE

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” may include your first and last name, your e-mail address, your home or other physical address, including a street name and name of a city or town, your telephone number, any payment or financial information, or any other identifier that permits us to contact a natural human person, like you, and/or any information that we, or our authorized third-party vendors or partners, maintain that could be used to identify you in combination with any of the identifying information described above, including information that identifies, relates, to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.

This Privacy Policy applies only to Personal Information. It does not cover data we, or our authorized third-party vendors or partners, collect that cannot be used to identify an individual or to pseudonymous data. Nor does it include encoded or anonymized information or aggregated data that we collect or create about a group or category of services, users, or features that do not contain personally-identifying information. We reserve the right to collect and share aggregate, encoded, or anonymized information with potential partners or other third parties without restriction.

2. INTERNATIONAL VISITORS

The Site and the Services are hosted in and provided from the United States and are intended for visitors located within the United States. If you use the Site and/or the Services from the European Union, Canada, or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, please note that you are transferring your personal data to the United States. The United States does not have the same data protection laws as the EU, Canada, and some other regions. If you are a European resident, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to ask that your personal information be corrected, updated, or deleted. If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us through our contact information below. Also, we may transfer your data from the United States to other countries or regions in connection with the storage and processing of data, fulfilling your requests, marketing efforts, and operating our business. By providing your Personal Information, you consent to the transfer of your personal data to the United States and the use of your Personal Information, in accordance with this Policy.

3. CHANGES

This Policy applies to all relevant information collected by or provided to us or our authorized third-party vendors or partners in connection with the Services as of the Effective Date. When we make any material changes to this Policy, we will update the Effective Date above and may also inform you by e-mail sent to the address associated with Services you may request from us and/or any account you open with us. We will treat your continued use of the Services following such notice as your acceptance of the changes.

4. COLLECTED INFORMATION

4.1. INFORMATION YOU SUBMIT.

We may collect Personal Information you and other consumers, prospective consumers, Site users, and other individuals and entities with whom NITRO has contact (such as those served by internet-connected devices or household recipients of direct mail to “current resident”) provide to us when you use the Site and/or our Services or provide to our business partners, contacts, and vendors. We may collect Personal Information in order to improve our Services, to deliver services and perform obligations under contracts we have with you, to comply with our own legal obligations, and for other purposes as described below. For example, we may collect and maintain Personal Information about you to create a personal profile containing purchasing preferences and other information that you voluntarily provide to us if you create an account with us. Examples of the types of information we may collect for this purpose include your first and last name, and a valid email address. Creating and completing a customer account and/or profile may allow you to make orders more easily and also allows us to enhance your purchasing experiences. Additionally, if you order a product via our Site, we may ask you for information such as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and credit card number to process your order. We may use your e-mail address to send a confirmation and, if necessary, may use the other information to contact you for help to process the order. As indicated below, we may also use your e-mail address to notify you about special offers and promotions. You can choose not to provide such Personal Information, in which case you will not be able to access or use portions of the Site or some of its features. To the extent you decline to share certain Personal Information with us, we may not be able to provide some or all of the features and functionalities found on the Services.

4.2. INFORMATION COLLECTED AUTOMATICALLY.

When you use the Services, we may automatically gather certain non-personally identifiable information from you. This may include usage information, such as information on when, how often, and for how long you use the Services and the content you submit and view. This also may include server log data such as the IP address, time zone, operating system, some of the cookies installed on your device, or the webpage you were visiting before you came to our Site. As described below, we may collect this information through a number of means, including server logs, cookies, online tracking mechanisms, and in connection with third parties. We may associate such non-personally identifiable information with the personally identifiable information that you provide in connection with the Services. This information will be treated as Personal Information if we combine or link it to identifying information. Otherwise, this information constitutes aggregate information.

4.3. ANALYTICS.

We may use certain third-party services to assist us in analysis, auditing, research, and reporting regarding the Services. For instance, our web servers may collect “log data.” Log data provides aggregate information about the number of visits to different pages on the Sites. We may use log data for troubleshooting purposes and to track which pages people visit in order to improve the Sites. We do not link log data collected to Personal Information. Third-party vendors may also collect aggregate log data independently from us. Some of the pages on the Site may also contain electronic images known as web beacons that allow us to count the number of users who have visited those pages. These web beacons collect only limited information such as a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the web beacon resides. Such web beacons do not carry or collect any Personal Information and you cannot opt-out or refuse them. However, where they operate with cookies, you can render them ineffective by opting out of cookies or changing the cookie setting in your browser.

4.4. COOKIES

We may automatically receive and store certain types of information when you visit the Site through the use of cookies, web beacons, or similar programs to collect the information described above. Cookies are strings of text that a website may store on your computer. Cookies enable sites to keep track of your preferences and activities online. The Site may create session cookies for each visit in order to facilitate your visit. Session cookies expire at the end of each session. We may also use “persistent” cookies, which remain on devices for much longer. Cookies do not corrupt or damage your computer or computer files. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org. We may use cookies for authentication, to remember your settings, to keep track of your activity during a visit to the Site, to conduct usability tests, to improve Site performance, and to implement certain features of the Site. You can typically control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you reject cookies, you may still use our Site, but your ability to use some features or areas of our Site may be limited. If you do not wish to receive these cookies, you may set your browser to reject the cookies (consult the instructions for your particular browser on how to do this), although doing so may affect your ability to perform certain transactions on the Site.

4.5. TRANSACTIONS

If you participate in a transaction through the Services, such as making a payment through the Services for a product or setting up a recurring payment for any subscription services we may offer, our third party payment processor will receive your payment information for purposes of processing such transaction and NITRO will receive such payment after any applicable fees have been deducted in accordance with our agreement with such third party payment processor. Our third-party payment processors may have their own privacy policy and those terms will apply to you, so please be sure to review them, including https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy and https://stripe.com/privacy. The policies of any Payment Processor are also considered a part of this Privacy Policy and part of your agreement with us. If you use another website to purchase our Services, you do so at your own risk and you should carefully review the privacy policy and terms of any such websites. Purchases generally require credit card information in order to process such. This includes name, credit card number, expiration date, billing address, and authentication codes or related information as needed to authorize the charge and complete the transaction. Credit card data transferred in connection with our third-party payment processor is via a Secured Sockets Layer (SSL) line if you are using a SSL-enabled browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, or Google Chrome. We may also use SSL on other select pages where you enter Personal Information. This ensures that your Personal Information is encrypted as it travels over the Internet. This secure mode is enabled before any such information is transmitted from your computer. We do not receive or store complete credit card information, though when you place an order through the Site, our third-party payment processor may maintain your order information for its records unless and until you ask to delete this information.

4.6. MARKETING EMAILS AND ADVERTISEMENTS; DO NOT TRACK.

We may use third-party service providers or content to send or augment our marketing e-mails. While there are no cookies in the e-mail, when an e-mail recipient clicks on a link to the Site included in the e-mail, a persistent cookie may be placed on the user’s computer. If used, this cookie measures the effectiveness of our e-mail marketing efforts, helping us to better understand how our users navigate through the Site, and to enhance user experience. To that end, we may collect a variety of information about how users interact with our marketing efforts, including how many times the email is opened and/or clicked, the browser type used, operating system, user email program, etc. This cookie, which may be set by our service providers, may remain on your hard drive for approximately thirty (30) days after the last time you clicked on the coded link in the e-mail, or until you delete it. In addition, third parties that may assist with our marketing e-mails may use pixel tags that help us send the e-mail in a format you can read, to allow us to know which e-mails you act upon and to better target the content of future e-mails. We may also use these tags to track the aggregate number of e-mails read and whether any of the links in the e-mail were accessed. We may use third-party service providers and/or content to serve, augment, refine, and/or host our advertisements. These third parties may use persistent cookies to track the number of times our Site is accessed and whether the site was accessed from the advertisement. The cookies generated from these types of advertisements do not contain Personal Information and may remain on your hard drive for three (3) or more years unless you delete them. If you do not want Personal Information about you used for this purpose, you may opt-out by following the procedure described in the section of this Privacy Policy titled “VIEWING AND AMENDING INFORMATION”. Note, however, that where we use a third party to provide advertising, email marketing, or similar services, each such third party may have its own opt-out process, which it manages and controls. You will need to follow those procedures to opt out of the services they provide. Additionally, we may share, exchange, or rent information that may include your name, address, email address, demographic data (such as age, gender, income level, and purchasing profiles), and purchasing behavior with carefully selected third-party organizations including our outside vendors, marketers of products and services potentially of interest to you, and cooperative database services. We may use cooperative databases primarily to identify potential subscribers and customers. We may also engage third-party online advertising technology service providers to help us deliver advertisements to you on websites you visit, including social media sites, after using the Services. This is a common practice known as “re-targeting.” For information about these practices, visit the Network Advertising Initiative website at Network Advertising – Understanding Online Advertising or the Digital Advertising Alliance website at AboutAds. You may remove yourself from the targeted advertising of companies within the Network Advertising Initiative by opting out at Network Advertising – Choices, or of companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance program by opting out at AboutAds – Choices. Like many websites, the Services do not currently respond to “do not track” browser headers, but you can limit tracking through these third-party programs by taking the steps discussed in the section of this Privacy Policy titled “VIEWING AND AMENDING INFORMATION”.

4.7. SOCIAL NETWORKING INFORMATION.

The Site may include social media features connected with social networking sites such as Facebook (such sites, “Social Sites”), including the Facebook Like button, and widgets, such as the ShareThis button or interactive mini-programs that run on the Site. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on the Site, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social Site features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on the Site. Your interactions with these features, including any Personal Information you provide via these features, are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it. You may also be able to create a Services account by logging in through a Social Site such as Facebook. Integration with Social Sites may allow you to automatically populate your profile that may be associated with our Services with information and content from your Social Site account profile and to invite your Social Site connections to join the Services. It also may allow us to better target our advertising within such Social Sites (to the extent enabled by the applicable Social Site). We will use, store, and disclose such information and content obtained in this manner in accordance with this Policy. Please remember that the manner in which Social Sites themselves use, store, and disclose your information and content (including with respect to any choices you may have to limit or control disclosure to us) is governed by the terms and conditions and privacy policies of each individual Social Site and any applicable privacy settings you may be able to control, and not NITRO.

4.8. CHILDREN UNDER 18.

NITRO does not knowingly collect information from children under 18 and the Services are intended for adults over the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child under the age of 18 has used the Services and provided personally identifiable information to us through the Services, please contact us at hello@drinkNITRO.com and we will work to delete that Services account and any such personally identifiable information.

In such cases, we may raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us, in our sole discretion. We may disclose and exchange information in connection with a substantial corporate transaction, such as the sale of our business, a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy. We may also use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site -- you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Any third parties to whom we may disclose Personal Information may have their own privacy policies which describe how they use and disclose Personal Information. Those policies will govern use, handling, and disclosure of your Personal Information once we have shared it with those third parties as described in this Privacy Policy. If you want to learn more about their privacy practices, we encourage you to visit the websites of those third parties. These entities or their servers may be located either inside or outside the United States. We may share aggregated and non-personal information we collect under any of the above circumstances. We may also share it with third parties to develop and deliver targeted advertising on the Site and on websites of third parties. You can opt out of some of these services by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out portal at: http://optout.aboutads.info/. For more information about how targeted advertising works, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (“NAI”) educational page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work. We may combine non-personal information we collect with additional non-personal information collected from other sources. We also may share aggregated information with third parties, including advisors, advertisers, and investors, for the purpose of conducting general business analysis. For example, we may tell our advertisers the number of visitors to our Site and the most popular features or services accessed. This information does not contain any personal information and may be used to develop website content and services that we hope you and other users will find of interest and to target content and advertising. We may also report aggregated, de-identified data relating to activity on the Services to third parties or the general public. We may combine such data with data obtained from third-party sources in order to generate such reports. In the event of a merger, sale of capital stock or assets, reorganization, consolidation, or similar transaction involving NITRO, the information we possess (including personally identifiable information) shall be transferred as a corporate asset to the acquiring entity, provided that such entity will continue to handle such information in accordance with this Policy.

7. VIEWING AND AMENDING INFORMATION.

You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but that may result in you being unable to use certain features of our Site and the Services because such information may be required in order for you to register an account with us; purchase products or services; participate in a contest, promotion, survey, or sweepstakes; ask a question; or initiate other transactions on our Site. Please contact us at hello@drinkNITRO.com if you no longer wish to receive communications regarding the Services. Opt-out requests may not be able to be immediately processed, and we may also continue to send you other types of transactional and relationship email communications, such as service announcements, administrative notices, and surveys, without offering you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving them. You may request that we not share your personal information with third parties for direct marketing purposes by contacting us at hello@drinkNITRO.com. Please also note that changing information in your account or otherwise opting out of receipt of promotional email communications will only affect future activities or communications from us. Account owners can log into their Services account and view, amend, or delete their user account information at any time. Please note that while changes or deletions to your account or Personal Information are reflected promptly in active user databases, our servers or our associated third parties may retain previously provided information, and may be required to keep certain information and not delete it (or to keep information for a certain amount of time, in which case NITRO will comply with your deletion request only after we have fulfilled such requirements). Also, changes to, or deletion of, any user information associated with an account you have with us does not affect any other information collected by NITRO, which NITRO may retain and continue to use or disclose in accordance with this Policy. If we have already provided your information to a third party before you have changed your preferences or updated your information, you may have to change your preferences directly with that third party. We reserve the right to verify the identity of any person making a request to opt-out or to delete or modify Personal Information; provided, however, that we will have no liability of any kind resulting from false or erroneous requests or any change or deletion made by us for any reason. We store Personal Information for only as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described above, as we determine is necessary for business records, and as required under applicable law.

8. SECURITY; UPDATES.

We take reasonable measures to protect your Personal Information in an effort to prevent loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Please be aware, however, that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse. To mitigate this risk, you should use secure usernames and passwords and carefully protect them from disclosure and implement updated internet security and virus protection on your computer. If you suspect that your computer’s security or your information has been compromised or your password accessed or used by an unauthorized third party, immediately change your password. If we become aware of a security systems breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. We may post a notice through the Site if a security breach occurs. We may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to use in these circumstances. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing. Users should also be aware of how they handle and disclose their Personal Information and should avoid sending personal information through insecure email. Please refer to the Federal Trade Commission’s website at http://www.business.ftc.gov/privacy-and-security/consumer-privacy for information about how to protect yourself against identity theft. We also may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do so, we will post the new Privacy Policy on the Site and your continued use of the Services is deemed to be acceptance of such updates or changes. We encourage you to check the date of our Privacy Policy when you access and use the Site for any updates or changes.

9. CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS - YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS.

The following provisions apply only to residents of the state of California: 9.1. DO NOT TRACK. Section 22575 of the California Business & Professions Code requires website and online service operators to disclose whether they honor web browser “Do Not Track” settings. At this time, no standard has been adopted by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) regarding such practices, and given current industry considerations, NITRO does not generally respond to “do not track” signals and may collect Personal Information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you visit the Site, for example by using cookies on our Site. We will update our practices and Policy as these standards evolve. For more information about Do Not Track, please visit www.allaboutdnt.org. 9.2. CCPA.

Program Description: Without limiting the scope of the Program, users that opt into the Program can expect to receive messages concerning the marketing and sale of digital and physical products, services, and events.

Cost and Frequency: Message and data rates may apply. The Program involves recurring mobile messages, and additional mobile messages may be sent periodically based on your interaction with Us.

MMS Disclosure: The Program will send SMS TMs (terminating messages) if your mobile device does not support MMS messaging.

Our Disclaimer of Warranty: The Program is offered on an "as-is" basis and may not be available in all areas at all times and may not continue to work in the event of product, software, coverage, or other changes made by your wireless carrier. We will not be liable for any delays or failures in the receipt of any mobile messages connected with this Program. Delivery of mobile messages is subject to effective transmission from your wireless service provider/network operator and is outside of Our control. T-Mobile is not liable for delayed or undelivered mobile messages.

Participant Requirements: You must have a wireless device of your own, capable of two-way messaging, be using a participating wireless carrier, and be a wireless service subscriber with a text messaging service. Not all cellular phone providers carry the necessary service to participate. Check your phone capabilities for specific text-messaging instructions.

If you use or engage with the Platform and are between the ages of thirteen (13) and eighteen (18) years of age, you must have your parent’s or legal guardian’s permission to do so. By using or engaging with the Platform, you acknowledge and agree that you are not under the age of thirteen (13) years, are between the ages of thirteen (13) and eighteen (18), and have your parent’s or legal guardian’s permission to use or engage with the Platform, or are of adult age in your jurisdiction.

Dispute Resolution: In the event that there is a dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Us, or between you and Stodge, LLC d/b/a Postscript or any other third-party service provider acting on Our behalf to transmit the mobile messages within the scope of the Program, arising out of or relating to federal or state statutory claims, common law claims, this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, such dispute, claim, or controversy will be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, determined by arbitration in Torrance, California before one arbitrator.

The parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, the arbitrator shall apply the substantive laws of the Federal Judicial Circuit in which NITRO’s principle place of business is located, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Within ten (10) calendar days after the arbitration demand is served upon a party, the parties must jointly select an arbitrator with at least five years’ experience in that capacity and who has knowledge of and experience with the subject matter of the dispute. If the parties do not agree on an arbitrator within ten (10) calendar days, a party may petition the AAA to appoint an arbitrator, who must satisfy the same experience requirement. In the event of a dispute, the arbitrator shall decide the enforceability and interpretation of this arbitration agreement in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). The parties also agree that the AAA’s rules governing Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply in lieu of seeking emergency injunctive relief from a court. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding, and no party shall have rights of appeal except for those provided in section 10 of the FAA. Each party shall bear its share of the fees paid for the arbitrator and the administration of the arbitration; however, the arbitrator shall have the power to order one party to pay all or any portion of such fees as part of a well-reasoned decision. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have the authority to award attorneys’ fees only to the extent expressly authorized by statute or contract. The arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive damages and each party hereby waives any right to seek or recover punitive damages with respect to any dispute resolved by arbitration. The parties agree to arbitrate solely on an individual basis, and this agreement does not permit class arbitration or any claims brought as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative arbitration proceeding. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties, unless to protect or pursue a legal right. If any term or provision of this Section is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Section or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. If for any reason a dispute proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial. This arbitration provision shall survive any cancellation or termination of your agreement to participate in any of our Programs.

Miscellaneous: You warrant and represent to Us that you have all necessary rights, power, and authority to agree to these Terms and perform your obligations hereunder, and nothing contained in this Agreement or in the performance of such obligations will place you in breach of any other contract or obligation. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. Any new features, changes, updates or improvements of the Program shall be subject to this Agreement unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing. We reserve the right to change this Agreement from time to time. Any updates to this Agreement shall be communicated to you. You acknowledge your responsibility to review this Agreement from time to time and to be aware of any such changes. By continuing to participate in the Program after any such changes, you accept this Agreement, as modified.
