Open Box Technologies, Inc. (“OBT”) recognizes that its customers, visitors, users, and others who use SesameVault.com (the “Service”) or other web sites owned or operated by OBT (the “OBT Sites”) (collectively or individually “Users”) value their privacy. This Privacy Policy details important information regarding the use and disclosure of User information collected on the OBT Sites.

This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and is subject to the OBT Terms of Service. Your use of the OBT Sites and any personal information you provide on the OBT Sites remains subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.

The information we collect is used to improve the content of our Web pages and the quality of our Service, and is not shared with or sold to other organizations for commercial purposes, except to provide products or services you've requested, when we have your permission, or under the limited circumstances specifically provided for in this Privacy Policy.

OBT uses third party vendors and hosting partners to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to run SesameVault. Although OBT owns the code, databases, and all rights to the SesameVault application, you retain all rights to your data.

Please note that any video, image, or other content posted at the direction of Users onto the OBT Sites becomes published content and is not considered personally identifiable information subject to this Privacy Policy.

The Information OBT Collects

User Provided Information: When you register for SesameVault we ask for information such as your name, company name, email address, billing address, credit card information. Members who sign up for the free account are not required to enter a credit card.

OBT uses collected information for the following general purposes: products and services provision, billing, identification and authentication, services improvement, contact, and research.

Cookies Information: When you visit the OBT Sites, we may send one or more cookies - a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters - to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. Cookies are required to use the SesameVault Service. OBT uses both session cookies and persistent cookies. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the site. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser help file directions. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the OBT Sites may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled.

Log File Information: When you use the OBT Sites, our servers automatically record certain information that your web browser sends whenever you visit any website. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, browser language, referring / exit pages and URLs, platform type, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, the date and time of your request, and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.

Clear GIFs Information: When you use the OBT Sites, we may employ “clear GIFs” (a.k.a. Web Beacons) which are used to track the online usage patterns of our Users anonymously (i.e., in a non-personally- identifiable manner). In addition, we may also use clear GIFs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened by recipients.

The Way OBT Uses Information

If you submit personally identifiable information to us through the OBT Sites, then we use your personal information to operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of the OBT Sites.

We do not use your email address or other personally identifiable information to send commercial or marketing messages without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. We may, however, use your email address without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes (such as notifying you of major OBT Site changes or for customer service purposes).

We use both your personally identifiable information and certain non- personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous User usage data, cookies, IP addresses, browser type, clickstream data, etc.) to improve the quality and design of the OBT Sites and to create new features, promotions, functionality, and services by storing, tracking, and analyzing User preferences and trends.

We use cookies, clear gifs, and log file information to: (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the OBT Sites; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c) monitor the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns; (d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, pages viewed, etc.; and (e) track your entries, submissions, and status in promotions, sweepstakes, and contests.

When OBT Discloses Information

We provide personally identifiable information and non-personally- identifiable information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies, or other businesses or persons for the purpose of processing such information on our behalf. We require that these parties agree to process such information in compliance with our privacy policy, and we use reasonable efforts to limit their use of such information and to use other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

We do not share your personally identifiable information (such as name or email address) with other, third-party companies for their commercial or marketing use without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out.

We do share non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous User usage data, referring / exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third-parties to assist them in understanding the usage patterns for certain content, services, advertisements, promotions, and/or functionality on the OBT Sites.

We may release personally identifiable information and/or non- personally-identifiable information if required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal laws (such as U.S. Copyright Law), respond to a court order, subpoena, or search warrant, or to investigate, prevent or take action regarding actual or potential illegal activities, suspected fraud or potential threats to the personal safety of any person.

OBT also reserves the right to disclose personally identifiable information and/or non-personally-identifiable information that OBT believes, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to enforce our Terms of Use, take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend itself against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, to protect the security or integrity of our web site, and to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of OBT, our Users or others.

Your Choices

You may, of course, decline to submit personally identifiable information through the OBT Sites, in which case OBT may not be able to provide certain services to you. You may update or correct your personal profile information and email preferences at any time by visiting your account profile page. Please note that media files uploaded by Users to the OBT Sites remain subject to our Terms of Use.

To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you profile access or making corrections. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information at all times.

Please contact OBT with any questions or comments about this Privacy Policy, your personal information, your consent, or your opt-in or opt-out choices by emailing support@sesamevault.com.

Our Commitment To Data Security

OBT uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to OBT and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission of information, OBT makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

If OBT learns of a security systems breach, then we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. OBT may post a Policy on the OBT Sites if a security breach occurs. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive Policy of a security breach in writing. To receive a free written Policy of a security breach (or to withdraw your consent from receiving electronic Policy) you should notify us using this contact form.

Our Commitment To Children’s Privacy

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. For that reason, OBT does not knowingly collect or maintain personally identifiable information or non-personally-identifiable information on the OBT Sites from persons under 13 years of age, and no part of our website is directed to persons under 13. If you are under 13 years of age, then please do not use or access the OBT Sites at any time or in any manner. If OBT learns that personally identifiable information of persons under 13 years of age has been collected on the OBT Sites without verified parental consent, then OBT will take the appropriate steps to delete this information.

Special Note to International Users

The OBT Sites are hosted in the United States and are intended for and directed to Users in the United States. If you are a User accessing the OBT Sites from the European Union, Asia, or any other region with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use, and disclosure, that differ from United States laws, please be advised that through your continued use of the OBT Sites, which are governed by U.S. law, this Privacy Policy, and our Terms of Use, you are transferring your personal information to the United States and you consent to that transfer.

In the Event of Merger or Sale

In the event that OBT is acquired by or merged with a third party entity, we reserve the right, in any of these circumstances, to transfer or assign the information we have collected from our Users as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control.
