This Disclosure/Acknowledgment form (the “Disclosure”) is being voluntarily provided to you (the “Client”). Insider Perks, Inc. (“Insider Perks”) is not required to provide such a Disclosure under any current federal, state, local, or international law. The Disclosure provides information the Client may find pertinent to the operation of its website.
Disclosure Statement
In today’s digital world, personal data is routinely provided by internet users to various services, such as social media sites, online retailers, and others. Personal data can also be collected without the user’s knowledge through analytics, cookies, and more.
Many services collect and store data such as names, physical addresses, email addresses, demographic information, location information, credit card numbers, interests, and more. This data may be analyzed, aggregated, transferred, or stored, and unfortunately, it may also be lost, stolen, or sold to third parties.
To address privacy concerns, governments in the U.S. and internationally have instituted data reform laws. Currently, the most well-known is the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which is a comprehensive set of regulations aimed at giving European Union citizens more control over their personal data. The GDPR requires services to obtain clear consent for data collection and ensures personal data is managed and protected properly.
Similarly, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) regulates the collection and sharing of consumer data in California. It mandates that companies disclose the data they collect, the purpose for collecting it, and to whom the data is shared. It also allows California consumers to opt out of having their data sold. Other regions may have similar laws, such as the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”) in Canada, or similar data privacy regulations in other countries.
Under the GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, and similar laws, providers of online services face strict requirements for compliance. Privacy and data storage regulations are becoming more widespread globally, and new legislation is continuously being enacted. In the course of the services Insider Perks provides, it may utilize third-party internet services as part of data collection. However, Insider Perks is not responsible for Client data or for ensuring compliance with any existing or potential privacy or data storage law, whether it is the GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, or other international regulations.
Third-party internet services used by Insider Perks may provide their own data protection measures. However, at no time is Insider Perks assuming responsibility for protecting Client data. As such, Insider Perks does not warrant responsibility or compliance with any current or future privacy or data storage law.
While Insider Perks values data protection and makes efforts to ensure that its services protect Client data, it cannot warrant, guarantee, or promise that the services it provides or the websites it creates are compliant with the GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, or any other privacy or data storage law. Clients are advised to consult their legal counsel to ensure their website or service complies with relevant data protection laws.
Release of Claims
The Client and Insider Perks (the “Parties”) release and forever discharge each other and their respective successors from any claims arising from potential privacy or data storage issues, including noncompliance with GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, or other data privacy laws.
