Pyper, Inc. is committed to protecting your privacy. We have developed this Policy in order for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate, and disclose and make use of personal information. The following outlines our privacy policy.
This privacy policy applies to our website and online interactions, referred to as our “Sites” that link to this Policy, and it describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you visit our Sites or otherwise contact or interact with us, referred to as “Content.”
By accessing or using our Content, you are indicating that you have read, understood, and agree to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Policy and our Terms of Use, available on our website. Additionally, by accessing or using our Content, you agree that your relationship with us is governed in all respects by Florida law, without regard to conflicts of law principles, and any legal actions involving us must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Florida.
Pyper, Inc. collects personal information in a variety of ways. For example, you may provide us your personal information when you post a review, send us messages, subscribe to our mailing lists, newsletters or other forms of marketing communications, participate in a survey, contest, or sweepstakes, or use some other feature of our Information.
We may link or combine your activities and information collected from you on our website with information we have collected from you offline, information we receive from third parties, as well as information we collect automatically through tracking technologies (defined below). This may allow us to provide you with a personalized experience regardless of how you interact with us.
The categories of information we collect may include:
Contact and profile information. We may collect personal information, such as your name, phone number, address, business information, gender, age, postal/zip code, and e-mail address, when you register for our Information, sign up for our mailing list, participate in an offer or promotion, enter a contest or sweepstakes, apply for a job or internship, or otherwise communicate or interact with us. We use this information to create, verify and personalize your account, to fulfill your request or transaction, to communicate with you directly, and to send you marketing communications in accordance with your preferences.

When you contact us directly (e.g., by email, phone, mail, or by completing an online form), we may record your comments, opinions, complaints, concerns, or questions, and we may collect the personal information contained in your communications (e.g., contact information, photos, etc.). We may also record comments and opinions you express when responding to surveys, entering a contest, or taking part in a promotion. We use this information to respond to your comments, opinions, complaints, concerns, or questions, to evaluate and improve our products and services, and to inform our marketing and advertising activities.
Location information. We may collect information about your location if you provide your address or postal/zip code or we may approximate your location based on your IP address.

We may use your location information to provide personalized content and advertising, to enhance your experience, to assist us with analytics, and to improve the effectiveness of our website, marketing, advertising, and customer service. We may also use your location information to provide you with more information regarding events, personalized offers regarding products, services, or other opportunities, and notifications via social media which may interest you.
