however, apply to entities that THE HOW MOVEMENT does not own or control. By
using or accessing THE HOW MOVEMENT, you agree to our privacy practices.
No information from children under age 18. If you are under age 18, please
do not attempt to register for THE HOW MOVEMENT or provide any personal
information about yourself. Parental consent is required if you are under 18
years of age. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a
child under age 18 without parental consent, we will delete that information
as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information
from a child under age 18 without parental consent, please contact us.
Revisions or Changes to the Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. We may update this
privacy statement to reflect changes to our information practices. If we make
any material changes we will notify you by means of a notice on this Site.
2. Information We Receive
Transactional Information. We may retain the details of transactions or
payments you make on THE HOW MOVEMENT
Information we collect when you interact with THE HOW MOVEMENT:
Site activity information. We keep track of some of the actions you take on
THE HOW MOVEMENT. In some cases you are also taking an action when you
provide information or content to us. For example, if you upload a photo or a
video, in addition to storing the actual content you uploaded, we might log
the fact that you uploaded it.
Access Device and Browser Information. When you access THE HOW MOVEMENT from
a computer, mobile phone, or other device, we may collect information from
that device about your browser type, location, and IP address, as well as the
pages you visit.
Cookie Information. We use “cookies” (small pieces of data we store for an
extended period of time on your computer, mobile phone, or other device) to
make THE HOW MOVEMENT easier to use, to make our advertising better, and to
protect both you and THE HOW MOVEMENT We also use them to confirm that you
are logged into THE HOW MOVEMENT, and to know when you are interacting with
THE HOW MOVEMENT platform applications and websites, our widgets, and our
advertisements. You can remove or block cookies using the settings in your
browser, but in some cases that may affect your ability to use THE HOW
MOVEMENT
3. Sharing information on THE HOW MOVEMENT.
Public Information. Generally, information you publish on the THE HOW
MOVEMENT website is publicly available information. Such information may,
for example, be accessed by everyone on the Internet (including people not
logged into THE HOW MOVEMENT), be indexed by third-party search engines, and
be imported, exported, distributed, and redistributed by us and others
without privacy limitations. Such information may also be associated with
you, including your name and profile picture, even outside of THE HOW
MOVEMENT, such as on public search engines and when you visit other sites on
the Internet.
4. Information You Share With Third Parties.
Links. When you click on links on THE HOW MOVEMENT you may leave our site. We
are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites, and we
encourage you to read their privacy statements.
5. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to try to provide a safe, efficient, and
customized experience. Here are some of the details on how we do that:
To manage the service. We use the information we collect to provide our
services and features to you, to measure and improve those services and
features, and to provide you with customer support. We use the information to
prevent potentially illegal activities, and to enforce our Terms of Service.
We also use a variety of technological systems to detect and address
anomalous activity and screen content to prevent abuse such as spam. These
efforts may on occasion result in a temporary or permanent suspension or
termination of some functions for some users.
To contact you. We may contact you with service-related announcements from
time to time.
6. How We Share Information
THE HOW MOVEMENT is about creating a successful experience between sellers or
providers and buyers. We share your information with other parties when we
believe the sharing is permitted by you, reasonably necessary to offer our
services, other parties’ services, products, or when legally required to do
so. For example:
When you make a payment or donation. When you enter into transactions with
others or make payments on THE HOW MOVEMENT, we will share transaction
information with only those third parties necessary to complete the
transaction. We will require those third parties to agree to respect the
privacy of your information.
To help improve or promote our service. Sometimes we share aggregated
information with third parties to help improve or promote our service. But we
only do so in such a way that no individual user can be identified or linked
to any specific action or information.
To provide you with services. We may provide information to service providers
that help us bring you the services we offer. For example, we may use third
parties to help host our website, send out email updates about THE HOW
MOVEMENT, remove repetitive information from our user lists, process
payments, or provide search results or links. These service providers may
have access to your personal information for use for a limited time.
To respond to legal requests and prevent harm. We may disclose information
pursuant to subpoenas, court orders, or other requests (including criminal
and civil matters) if we have a good-faith belief that the response is
required by law. This may include respecting requests from jurisdictions
outside of the United States where we have a good-faith belief that the
response is required by law under the local laws in that jurisdiction, apply
to users from that jurisdiction, and are consistent with generally accepted
international standards. We may also share information when we have a good-
faith belief it is necessary to prevent fraud or other illegal activity, to
prevent imminent bodily harm, or to protect ourselves and you from people
violating our Terms of Service. This may include sharing information with
other companies, lawyers, courts, or other government entities.
Transfer in the Event of Sale or Change of Control. If the ownership of all
or substantially all of our business changes, we may transfer your
information to the new owner so that the service can continue to operate. In
such a case, your information would remain subject to the promises made in
any pre-existing Privacy Policy.
7. How We Protect Information
We do our best to keep your information secure, but we need your help. Steps
we take to keep your information secure. We keep your account information on
a secured server behind a firewall. When you enter sensitive information
(such as credit-card numbers), information is encrypted using secure third
party technology. We also use social measures to enhance security, such as
analyzing account behavior for fraudulent or otherwise anomalous behavior,
may limit use of site features in response to possible signs of abuse, may
remove inappropriate content or links to illegal content, and may suspend or
disable accounts for violations of our Terms of Service.
Report Violations. You should report any security violations to us at
thehowmovement@gmail.com. You may also contact us by mail at 5150 Fair Oaks
Blvd, Ste. 101-118, Carmichael, California 95608.
8. Other Terms
Consent to Collection and Processing in the United States. By using THE
HOW MOVEMENT, you consent to having your personal data transferred to and
processed in the United States.
Defined Terms. “Us,” “we,” “our,” “Platform,” and “THE HOW MOVEMENT” mean
the same as in the Terms of Service. “Information” and “content” are used
more generally and interchangeably here than in the Terms of Service unless
otherwise limited by the context.
