Sebastian Privacy Policy (Internet Service)

Effective as of October 1, 2024

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before using Audeamus DBA ("Sebastian") services and websites.

1. Commitment to Privacy

Sebastian is committed to respecting the privacy rights of customers, visitors, and other users of its websites (“Sites”). Sebastian believes that when customers use any of Sebastian's products or services, they should understand when and how personal information is collected, used, disclosed, and protected. Sebastian created this Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) to give customers information and confidence as they visit and use Sebastian's Sites, and to demonstrate Sebastian's commitment to fair information practices and privacy protection. This Policy is only applicable to Sebastian's Sites, and not to other services offered by any other website that customers may be able to access from Sebastian's Sites. By using the Sites, customers are consenting to the collection and use of personal information as described in this Policy.

2. What Information Does Sebastian Collect About You?

Sebastian collects information about users of its products or services in the normal course of its business, and through its Sites. When you visit or browse a Sebastian Site, you may provide Sebastian with personal information that can be directly associated with a specific person or entity, website use information regarding a group or category of services or customers. Sebastian may also collect information from other sources and combine it with your account information.

2.1. Personal Information

Sebastian collects information you provide when you purchase, contract for, or use a Sebastian product or service. This information is used for billing purposes so you can be appropriately charged (and, in some cases, to investigate fraudulent usages). For example, we may collect:

  • Name
  • Mailing address
  • E-mail address, content of e-mail messages, and responses
  • Credit card number
  • Telephone numbers
  • Other personal information (e.g., mother's maiden name)

2.2. Website Information

Sebastian's web servers automatically receive certain types of information when you use a Sebastian Site, for example, your domain name and IP address(es), date and time of visits, the type of browser you use, the website from which your visit originated, page visits, time spent on individual web pages, and other similar website “traffic data.” No other personal information about you is revealed in this process. Sebastian may sometimes use the "cookies" feature of major browser applications that allows it to store a small piece of data on your computer about your visit to Sebastian's Sites. Sebastian does not set any personally identifiable information in cookies. Sebastian only uses cookies to collect website use information so that it can determine how to improve its Sites, complete transactions you request, and track your selections in order to make appropriate recommendations about Sebastian products and services. You can generally choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings on your website browser. However, if you choose to disable this function, your experience at a Site may be diminished and some features may not work as they were intended.

2.3. Information from Other Sources

Sebastian may obtain information about you from outside sources and add it to or combine it with your account information. For example, Sebastian may receive credit information when you subscribe to one of Sebastian's plans. Sebastian may also use marketing information from third parties to help better serve you or inform you about other products or services. Sebastian sometimes receives updated delivery and address information from its shippers or other sources. Sebastian also receives information from agents from whom you purchase Sebastian products or services.

3. How Does Sebastian Use the Personal and Website Information That It Collects?

Sebastian uses your personal and website use information in order to provide optimal customer service, engage in its business activities, and inform you about other products or services.

3.1. Use of Personal Information

Sebastian does not share your personal information with any third parties without your consent, except as necessary to provide you with products or services or to comply with laws. Sebastian may use your personal information to verify your identity, check your qualifications for services, or follow up with transactions initiated on Sebastian Sites. Sebastian may also use your contact information to send you additional information about Sebastian. If at any time you do not wish to receive these communications, please let Sebastian know (see contact information below). When Sebastian uses other agents, contractors, or companies to perform services on its behalf, Sebastian advises them that they are to protect your confidential information and not disclose such information except in limited circumstances.

3.2. Use of Website Information

Sebastian uses aggregate information to analyze its Sites' traffic, but Sebastian does not examine this information for individually identifying information. Sebastian may use anonymous IP addresses to help diagnose problems with its servers, administer its Sites, or display website content according to your preferences. Traffic and transaction information may also be shared with business partners and advertisers on an aggregate and anonymous basis.

3.3. Use of Information to Protect Sebastian and Others

Sebastian will disclose personal information only if required to do so by law, or in good-faith belief that it needs to do so in order to (1) conform or adhere to legal requirements, (2) protect and defend the rights or property of Sebastian or the users of its Sites, or (3) act in case of emergency to protect the safety of the public or users of its Sites.

4. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have certain rights pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act. These CCPA rights may only apply in certain circumstances and are subject to certain exemptions. The following provides a summary of your rights. You can exercise these rights by contacting Sebastian using the contact information identified below.

4.1. Right to Know

You may request that Sebastian disclose to you: (1) the categories and/or specific pieces of personal information Sebastian has collected about you, (2) the categories of sources for that personal information, (3) the purposes for which Sebastian uses that information, (4) the categories of third parties with whom Sebastian discloses the information, and (5) the categories of information that Sebastian sells or discloses to third parties.

4.2. Right to Delete

You can request that Sebastian delete personal information that Sebastian collected from you and tell its service providers to do the same, subject to certain exceptions (such as if Sebastian is legally required to keep the information).

4.3. Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing

You may request that Sebastian stop selling or sharing your personal information (“opt-out”). In that event, Sebastian cannot sell or share your personal information after it receives your opt-out request unless you later authorize Sebastian to do so again. Sebastian does not sell or share your personal information with third parties, except as necessary to provide you with products or services or to comply with laws, therefore there is no need to exercise the right to “opt-out”.

4.4. Right to Correct

You may ask Sebastian to correct inaccurate information that it has about you.

4.5. Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information

You can direct Sebastian to only use your sensitive personal information (for example, your social security number, financial account information, your precise geolocation data, or your genetic data) for limited purposes, such as providing you with the services you requested.

4.6. Right to Non-Discrimination

Sebastian cannot deny goods or services, charge you a different price, or provide a different level or quality of goods or services just because you exercised your rights under the CCPA.

5. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act

Sebastian's Sites are general audience websites, and Sebastian does not direct any content specifically at children under 13 years of age. Sebastian understands and is committed to respecting the sensitive nature of children's privacy online. Sebastian also recognizes that many parents purchase products and services for family use, including use by children under 13, without Sebastian's knowledge. Any information collected from such accounts would appear to Sebastian as the personal information of the subscribing adult customer and will be treated as such under this Policy. If Sebastian makes available offers and products online where a child informs us that he or she is under the age of 13, or Sebastian otherwise learns or has reason to suspect that a Site's user is under 13, Sebastian will ask a parent to confirm his/her consent in advance of further collection, use, or disclosure of personal information from that child. At any time, parents may review the personal information collected, ask to have it deleted, and refuse to allow any further collection or use of the child's information.

6. Placement of Advertising on Other Websites

Sebastian may place advertisements for its products or services on other websites or use third-party ad companies to place advertisements about its products and services on other websites. These companies may use cookies and other technology to measure the effectiveness of Sebastian's advertisements. To measure advertising effectiveness and offer selective ad content, the ad serving companies may use anonymous information about your visits to Sebastian's and other websites. However, the ad serving companies use an anonymous number to identify you — not your name, address, phone number, email address, or anything that personally identifies you. The use of such cookies is subject to the ad serving company's privacy policy, not this Policy.

7. Network and Information Security

Sebastian maintains a variety of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to prevent the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information that Sebastian obtains from you, but Sebastian cannot guarantee its ability to prevent loss, misuse, or alteration of such information.

8. Updating This Policy

Sebastian may revise, amend, or modify this Policy from time to time. Notice of any revision, amendment, or modification will be posted on Sebastian's website, and/or on your start pages and/or by email and/or in mailings to your primary Sebastian email account and will be effective on the date noted in the posting. This Policy may not be amended or modified by you except by means of a written document signed by both you and an authorized representative of Sebastian. By continuing to use Sebastian's services and products after the amendments are effective, you accept and agree to abide by them.

9. Third Party Website Areas Beyond Sebastian's Control

The Sites may contain links to other websites. If you choose to visit other websites, Sebastian's Policy is no longer in effect. Sebastian is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of other websites, and it is your responsibility to review the privacy policies of other websites to ensure that you agree to their policies.
