Please read the following privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to understand what data we collect, how and why we collect it that data, where we store that data, and with whom do we share that data. YoFreeSamples.com may, from time to time, revise this Privacy Policy, so please check back periodically.

Providing certain PII to a Site is voluntary.

WHEN DO WE COLLECT DATA – WHAT DATA DO WE COLLECT – HOW DO WE COLLECT IT – WHY DO WE COLLECT AND STORE IT

When creating an account, the Site will collect a user’s PII, including but not limited to their name, email address, shipping address, and demographic information such as gender, zip code, preferences, or other information that may not be tied to their PII. A user must have a valid email address to create an account. The information that a user provides will initially be used to create a user account, and we may send a registration confirmation email to that user that they may need to confirm the accuracy of their account information.

Below is a list of information that we store in our database and how we use that data that we may store in our database:

USERNAME and PASSWORD: We collect and store a username and password for each account to allow a user to be able to sign in to their account. We collect this data from the registration and login forms.

ID: This is a unique identifier that is associated with a user cookie that we plant when a user visits the web site and does not already have an existing GUID cookie. We read this data when a user visits the site and it allows us to distinguish between anonymous users and we also utilize it for internal traffic and user behavior analysis.

IP ADDRESS: We collect a user’s ip address each time they visit the web site. We store the user’s ip address for internal traffic analysis, user behavior analysis, and for fraud protection.

HTTP_REFERER and UTM_SOURCE Parameters: These fields indicate the origin web site or a key to the origin from where the user originated when they visited the site and created their account. We collect this data when a user visits the site and use it for traffic and user behavior analysis, as well as marketing and search engine optimization.

TITLE, FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, EMAIL ADDRESS, POSTAL CODE, COUNTRY, and BIRTH DATE: This is a user’s personal account information which we collect when a user creates an account. We use this information to identify that they are indeed a real and unique person. We determine a user’s gender using the title, which we use for demographic analysis and personalization. We use the user’s first and last name for personalization on the site. We use email address to send out notification and we may also pass it along to a third party service (see THIRD PARTY SERVICES). A user’s postal code and country are used for behavior and geographic analysis of our users. Country is also used to display a country specific version of the site to each logged in user. We store a user’s birth date as a security measure for password retrieval and it is used for demographic analysis of our users.

We also track a few marketing fields when a user visits the site including web browser information and other fields that we use for analytis and optimizing marketing campaigns.

YoFreeSamples.com has no liability or responsibility for these independent policies or the use of any that a user independently transfers to these companies.

HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT

Account Emails:

We may send non-commercial emails to our users for various reasons as long as their account remains active, which may include, but are not limited to a welcome email, account update email, order confirmation email, or Site and Privacy Policy updates. These emails are necessary to maintain an active user account and, as long as a user’s account is active, the user cannot opt-out of these types of emails. To stop receiving these emails, a user must cancel their account.

Commercial Emails:

YoFreeSamples.com is committed to ethical and responsible e-mail practices and, with a user’s prior consent, we, or a third party partner company on behalf of YoFreeSamples.com, may, from time to time, send commercial e-mails, offers, promotions and other information. We strive to make sure that all commercial e-mails sent to our users are compliant with the Can-Spam Act of 2003. Site users may opt-out of receiving commercial e-mails sent by or on behalf of YoFreeSamples.com by clicking on the opt-out link contained in the body of any commercial e-mail sent or also by updating their preferences in the user’s “Account” page.

Links To Other Sites:

YoFreeSamples.com may link to web sites operated by other companies. Some of these third party sites may be co-branded with a logo of a YoFreeSamples.com Site, even though they are not operated or maintained by YoFreeSamples.com (for example, sites operated by coupon companies that have a business relationship with YoFreeSamples.com). YoFreeSamples.com may also carry advertisements from other companies as well as advertisements placed by advertising agencies. Although YoFreeSamples.com chooses its business partners carefully, YoFreeSamples.com is not responsible for the privacy practices of web sites operated by third parties that are linked from our site, of third party or advertisers, or third party ad servers. Once a user has left YoFreeSamples.com via such a link or by clicking on an advertisement, they should check the applicable privacy policy of the third party or advertiser site to determine how they will handle any PII that they collect from them.

Offers and Surveys:

We use other trusted third party partner companies to host short surveys and/or offers which, with a user’s consent, will collect their PII in order to supply them with information about or sign them up for various offers and services. A Site owned or operated by YoFreeSamples.com may pass a user’s PII to a third party partner company to be used to provide targeted offers and/or pre-populate offer forms with the user’s PII. If a user agrees to participate in a special offer hosted by a third party partner, their PII included in the short survey or offer form will be transferred by our third party partners to the appropriate advertiser referenced in the survey or offer. A user is provided with the option of exiting the survey or offer process of our third party business partners at any time prior to submitting their personal information to such third party business partner offer or survey. A user must consent to each offer on an individual basis for their PII to be recorded or used again by the third party partner or advertiser. YoFreeSamples.com may not have access to any additional information that a user provides to third party hosted sites.

Other Uses:

To try to provide our users offers that are of interest to them, we have relationships with other reputable third party companies that may periodically send to our users commercial e-mail on behalf of YoFreeSamples.com, send direct postal mailings, or contact them via telemarketing with information on various discount offers, products and services, upcoming events, or other information. These businesses may include providers of direct marketing services and applications, including lookup and reference, data enhancement, suppression and validation and email marketing. At any time, you may choose to unsubscribe from third party commercial e-mail messages by logging into your user account on the Site and updating your e-mail preferences, or clicking on the unsubscribe link in the body of the e-mail message and entering the e-mail address that you wish to unsubscribe from further commercial e-mail messages from third parties. Keep in mind that if you take advantage of an offer from a third party business partner and thus, become their customer, they may independently wish to send offers to you. In the event that you are not interested in receiving future offers from these affiliates, you must contact them directly to fulfill your list removal request.

If a user prefers not to have their PII released to our third party partners for purposes other than e-mail, including but not limited to postal mailing, they should let us know by sending their account email address and/or user ID to: Avinuity Web Properties LLC | 201 West Genesee Street, #140, Fayetteville, NY, 13066.
