This Privacy Policy ("Policy") applies to services provided by Propeller Enterprises ("Propeller") through the website www.propeller.la (the "Site"). Throughout this Policy the words "we," "us" and "our" refer to Propeller and its corporate affiliates. By registering as a member of the Site, you confirm your understanding of the manner and purposes for which we process your Personal Data (defined below) as described in this Policy. This Policy applies to all users of the Site, including users who are also registered members.
Scope
The purpose of this Policy is to inform you about our privacy practices and to ensure that you understand the purposes for which we collect and process your Personal Data. The following is a brief summary of the manner and purposes for which we process your Personal Data.
This Policy does not apply to any data insofar as it is held, processed, disclosed or published in a form which cannot be linked to a living individual (such as anonymized data, aggregated data, or coded data which, in a given form, cannot effectively be used to extract your Personal Data) ("Anonymized and Aggregated Data"). We reserve the right to generate Anonymized and Aggregated Data extracted out of any databases containing your Personal Data and to make use as we see fit of any such Anonymized and Aggregated Data.
Responsibility for processing Personal Data
Propeller Enterprise is the entity which is responsible for the processing of personal data that we collect from you through registration forms or through the Site. If you have any questions or concerns about Propeller's use of your Personal Data, please contact us at support@propeller.la.
Collection of Personal Data
The Site enables individuals to participate in certain activities, sweepstakes, campaigns, and fundraising programs (each an "Activity") to earn points ("Points") that can be redeemed for a variety of rewards ("Rewards") from the online catalogue ("Catalogue"). In order to earn Points and claim Rewards, you will need to create an account ("Account"). You can set up an Account either by linking to your Facebook, Twitter or Google account ("Social Media Account") or by registering an Account directly with us.
When you create your Account, we may ask you to provide certain personally identifiable information ("Personal Data"), which may include but is not limited to your name, email address, area (or zip) code and credit card information (provided to a secure Payment Processor). You may choose not to provide your Personal Data; however creating an Account is a prerequisite for using the full functions of the Site.
Registration through Facebook and other Social Media Accounts
The Site is designed to work in conjunction with your Social Media Account. If you choose to register for the Site by linking to your Social Media Account, we will provide you with an interface to connect with your Social Media Account host's application protocol interface (better known as its developer API) which will allow you to authorize us to access your Social Media Account on your behalf. You do not need to provide us with your Social Media Account's user name or password to provide this authorization, but you will need to log-in to your Social Media Account directly through the Site. Once authorized by you, your Social Media Account host will provide us with a token that allows it to recognize us and us to recognize your Social Media Account. You can revoke our access to your Social Media Account at any time by amending the appropriate settings from within your Social Media Account settings, though such revocation may limit your ability to access or use certain functionality of the Site.
If you register for the Site using your Social Media Account, Propeller will treat this as your consent to access your Social Media Account information, including (where relevant) your name, email address, profile picture, gender, 'networks', user ID (but not your password), list of friends, and any other information that you have 'shared with everyone'. If you allow Propeller access to such data, Propeller may access that data at any time, including when you are not using the application.
If you prefer not to use your Social Media Account to register for the Site, you can register for an Account directly by providing your name, telephone number, physical address and email address. If you choose to register in this way, you may not be able to participate in all Activities as many are intended to use functionality such as Facebook's 'share' function.
Log files
We may use certain standard web measurement and tracking technologies such as cookies, web server logs, or other statistics programs to collect usage information and track and record how you use the Site ("Usage Information"). This data is anonymous and does not personally identify you. Usage Information helps us measure the success of the Site and its features or pages and to improve your online experience. Your browser may have an option that allows you to accept cookies, reject cookies, or receive notification when a cookie is sent, but you should note that the use of such restrictive browser settings may limit your use of the Site. These web beacons enable our advertising server to recognize you when you visit the Site and to determine which banner ads bring users to the Site. We do not use spyware, adware or any other similarly intrusive software. Third-party advertisers (or their partners) may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser. These cookies enable more customized ads, content or services to be provided to you. To trigger these cookies, we may pass an encrypted or 'hashed' (non-human readable) identifier corresponding to your email address to a web advertising partner, who may place a cookie on your computer. No personally identifiable information is on, or is connected to, these cookies. To opt-out of these cookies, please go to http://www.privacychoice.com/companies or http://www.aboutads.info/choices.

Location of processing activities
We operate in the United States of America and operate the Site from that country. When you provide Personal Data to us through the Site or where we monitor your Activities on the site the data is collected and received in the USA. In the event we need to transfer data from the European Union to the USA (or to other countries outside the European Union) we do so under a data export agreement in accordance with the model clauses adopted by the European Commission. The agreement ensures that the recipient of the data will handle it in accordance with safeguards stipulated in the agreement. If you are a user in the European Union you are a beneficiary of any such agreement and you can enforce its provisions against the parties.
EU data subject rights
Users based in the European Union have the following legal rights in respect of their Personal Data:
1. The right to require Propeller to confirm whether or not their Personal Data is being processed, the purpose of any such processing, the recipients of any Personal Data that has been disclosed, the period for which their Personal Data is to be stored and whether any automated decision-making processes are used in relation to their Personal Data;
2. The right to require Propeller to rectify inaccurate Personal Data without undue delay;
3. The right to request the erasure of their Personal Data. Propeller will be required to erase the Personal Data in response to such request where:
a) the Personal Data is no longer necessary in relation to the purpose for which it was collected, such as where a user chooses to delete his or her Account;
b) where the processing of the data is based on the user's consent (and the other circumstances described in the 'Disclosure of Personal Data' and 'Legal basis for processing' sections above no longer apply), if the user withdraws his or her consent; or
c) the user objects to the processing of his or her Personal Data and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing.
Where Propeller has disclosed the Personal Data of a European Union user to a third party and the user requests the erasure or rectification of the data, Propeller will take all reasonable steps to inform the third party of such request.
4. The right to restrict Propeller from processing their Personal Data in certain circumstances, such as where the accuracy of that Personal Data is disputed or an objection has been raised (see below). In such circumstances, Propeller will only process that Personal Data with the express consent of the user, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest;
5. The right to receive their Personal Data from Propeller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format;
6. The right to object to the processing of their Personal Data by Propeller where:
a) Propeller has relied on the 'legitimate interest' basis for processing that Personal Data (see item 4 in the section headed 'Legal basis for processing Personal Data' above), in which case we will immediately stop processing the user's Personal Data unless we have compelling legitimate grounds which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the user; or
b) the Personal Data is used for direct marketing purposes, in which case we will immediately stop processing the user's Personal Data for such purposes.
