Scope of This Notice:
The goal of this Privacy Notice is to advise you of the online privacy practices of Cre8Agency.com. The Privacy Notice also describes the choices you have about the information collected on these sites and how it is used.
PLEASE NOTE:
This statement does not apply to our commercial customers. If you indicate your residence is outside the U.S., you may be offered a privacy notice that is specific to your country of residence. In such case, Cre8Agency is operating this site for itself as well as a service provider for its global affiliates.
On our co-branded sites (such as those sites where Cre8Agency has presented content together with one of our retail partners) a privacy notice unique to that site may be presented. Private sites (such as those only available to dealers and distributors) and sites created for our employees (or prospective employees) may also have privacy notices unique to those sites. Sites maintained by Cre8Agency subsidiaries and affiliates, although linked to Cre8Agency.com, may have their own online privacy notices.
Your Personal Information:
Cre8Agency primary goals in collecting personal information about you are, first, to give you a meaningful, enjoyable, and personalized website experience and, second, to facilitate the development of new products and services relevant to consumers like you. Personal information also allows us to provide better service to you by tailoring our communications to match your interests and deliver more of what you want and less of what you don't want. Here are the types of information we gather
Information You Explicitly Provide:
In order to establish your account, register products, or to participate in various online programs offered through Cre8Agency.com, you will be asked to provide certain personally identifiable information to us such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address, and phone number. If you choose to purchase products or services, you will be asked to provide a valid credit card number and expiration date along with billing and shipping address information. You can choose not to provide this information but then you might not be able to participate in some of our services or offerings.
Information We Automatically Collect:
We use common internet technologies such as cookies and beacons to ensure the integrity of our site and to customize portions of the site for you.
Cookies:
Cookies are small pieces of information stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive, at a web site's request. Cre8Agency cookies do not contain any personal information, but are used primarily as follows:
To keep track of temporary information:
For example, cookies allow us to keep track of the data and pictures you upload and download; to register you in programs, such as Cre8Agency.com Membership. Cookies allow us to remember you when you login to the places on our site that require Membership; to remember your country and language preferences; to help us understand the size of our audience and traffic patterns; to collect and record information about what you viewed on our Web site and what you viewed in our e-mail; to manage and present site information and the pictures displayed on your computer, and to deliver information specific to your interests.
Cookies and Third Party Advertisements:
Cre8Agency Network participates in cookie-based ad networks. These companies use some anonymous information about your visits to this and other web sites to display ads on this and other web sites that are most likely to be of interest to you. We do not permit these companies to collect any personal information about you. Rather, these companies use cookies, web beacons, pixels, or other technologies to collect information about the effectiveness of their advertisements, and anonymous information about your visits to Cre8Agency, such as the number of times you have viewed an ad (but not your name, address, email address or other personal data).
Web Beacons:
We also place small "tracker gifs" or "beacons" on many of the pages on our website, in online advertising with third parties, and in our e-mail. We use these beacons, in connection with cookies, to collect non-personal data on the usage of our site including but not limited to the date and time of the visit, the pages visited, the referring web page, the type of browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox), the type of operating system (e.g., Windows, Linux, or Mac), and the domain name of the visitor's Internet service provider (e.g., AOL). This information is collected about thousands of site visits and analyzed as a whole. This information is useful in, for example, tracking the performance of our online advertising such as online banner ads and to determine where to place future advertising on other web sites.
Disabling Cookies and beacons:
If you are uncomfortable with the collection of such information through the use of cookies and beacons, we recommend disabling these features through your browser preferences, though please understand this will limit the performance and functionality of Cre8Agency Web site. Your browser documentation should provide specific procedures for disabling cookie and beacon support.
IP Address:
We analyze IP addresses in the aggregate for system administration purposes and to gather broad demographic information. We do not link IP addresses to your computer's User ID, with the following exception: when you place an order using our online checkout process we record your computer's IP address with your order to help us identify fraudulent credit card use. We may share this information with the financial institution that issued the credit card with which an order was placed, or with law enforcement authorities if we determine, or are notified, that the use of the credit card was fraudulent.
Affiliate Site ID:
If you entered Cre8Agency.com by clicking a link or promotion on another website (including a Cre8Agency co-branded portion of another website), or if you used a site that provides universal registration services to sign up for our site, we will store the ID of that affiliate site in our database along with your computer's User ID. We do this to ensure that the affiliate site receives proper credit for any subsequent order you might place. We may also use this information in conjunction with your activities on our site to help us identify what offers and services may be of interest to you.
Information from Other Sources:
We sometimes obtain additional information about you, such as demographic and lifestyle information, from other sources and merge it with information we have collected on this site, as well as information you may have provided offline. We use this information as stated below.

We also use this personal information to provide you with information related to your account, the products or services you purchased from us, to better understand your needs and interests, to improve our service and to personalize communications and your web experience.
Does Cre8Agencyconsulting.com Share Your Information?
Your personally identifiable information will not be rented or sold to any third party. Cre8Agency may share your personal information as follows:
Companies who work on our behalf: We contract with other companies to perform business support functions on our behalf, which may involve limited access to your personal information.

We also may make aggregate non-personal information available to select service providers.
Subsidiaries, parent corporations and joint ventures:
A subsidiary or a joint venture is an organization in which Cre8Agency Company (WTC) owns at least a 50% interest. WTC is the "parent corporation" to each of its subsidiaries which operates Cre8Agency.com. We may share your information with a WTC subsidiary or joint venture partner, with the requirement that they not transfer your information to another party for marketing purposes, or use your information contrary to your expressed choices. Similarly, if a WTC subsidiary or joint venture shares your information with us, we will not transfer your information to another party for marketing purposes or use your information contrary to your expressed choices.
Co-branded and Partner Pages:
Cre8Agency may share information with partner companies who jointly present special offers or promotions on co-branded pages within our site. You will be notified of this sharing when you are asked to furnish personal data on such a page. The partner's use of any information you submit will be governed by the partner's own privacy notice, which you can review before submitting your information.
Business Transfers:
Cre8Agency reserves the right to transfer your personal information in connection with the sale or transfer of all or a portion of our business or assets. If the business is sold or transferred, Cre8Agency will give you an opportunity to tell us not to transfer your personal information. In some cases, this may mean that the new organization will not be able to continue providing to you the services or products that Cre8Agency provided.
Law Enforcement:
Cre8Agency may disclose personal information to third parties without your consent for any of the following reasons: to comply with any law, regulation or court order, to cooperate with Government investigations, to help prevent fraud or to enforce or protect the rights of Cre8Agency or its subsidiaries.
With Your Consent:
In all other cases, Cre8Agency will obtain your express consent before sharing your information with third parties. For example, Cre8Agency may conduct a joint offer or contest with a third party and you will be asked whether your personal information should be shared with that third party.
Your Affirmative Choice to Share Information:
If you invite visitors to see your information, Cre8Agency will send an email to your list of invitees containing the password protected URL to your records. Please note that your invitees can then forward the email containing the URL to other parties, if they choose. If your invitee forwards your email invitation to another party, the email address given by that party will have no affiliation with Cre8Agency. Cre8Agency uses the email addresses provided only to facilitate your sharing activities and for no other purpose. We will not use the addresses described in this section for any other purpose and will not disclose the addresses you provide to any third party.
Your Choices about Receiving E-mail:
Cre8Agency may send you e-mail about your orders or your account and in response to your questions. Cre8Agency and its subsidiaries may also send you e-mail with information and/or special offers about products and services that may be of interest to you, unless you indicate you do not want to receive them.
We will give you an opportunity to let us know your preference regarding the receiving of promotional e-mail when you register for a service, when you provide us with your personal information, or when we send you e-mail. If you choose not to accept this promotional e-mail, you may not receive special offers that may be of value to you. This option applies to promotional e-mail only, as we may find it necessary to send you e-mail relating to the products you have purchased or registered, your account or your order(s).
Promotional e-mail that you receive from Cre8Agency will tell you how to decline receiving future promotional e-mail.
Protecting Your Information:
Cre8Agency implements a variety of administrative, managerial, and technical security measures to help protect your personal information. Cre8Agency has Internal Control Standards which relate specifically to the handling of personal information. These include certain controls to help safeguard the information we collect online.
Cre8Agency employees are trained to understand and comply with these controls and we communicate our Privacy Notice, practices and guidelines to our employees. However, while we strive to protect your personal information, you must also take steps to protect your information. We urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal information while you are on the Internet.

Some of our sites may enable you to participate in public services such as discussion boards, chats, and live events. Please use discretion when posting personal information about yourself when using these services. Be aware that when you disclose personal information at these sites, such as your name, member name, e-mail address, etc., the information may be collected and used by others to send unsolicited e-mail. The services are open to the public, and what you post there can be seen by anyone and is not protected. Cre8Agency cannot control the comments that you may receive while you participate in these services. You may find other people's comments to be offensive, harmful or inaccurate.
Children's Privacy:
Protecting the online privacy of children is especially important, and those under the age of 13 are protected by federal law. For that reason, Cre8Agency does not knowingly permit children under the age of 13 to become registered members of our sites, or to buy goods and services on our sites, without verifiable parental consent. Cre8Agency does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information about children under 13, except with their parent's express consent.
If we ever include children under the age of 13 as part of our intended site audience, those specific web pages will, in accordance with the provisions of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), be clearly identified and provide an explicit privacy notice; and we will provide processes to obtain parental approval, provide access to information and allow parents to request removal of their children's personal information. Cre8Agency encourages parents and guardians to spend time with their children online and to participate in their interactive activities and interests.
