Effective February 8, 2018
Welcome to the website of Thespot Holdings, Inc. and its
subsidiaries and
affiliates, collectively, “Populous,” “we,” or “us”. By using
our website(s)
(“Site”), you consent to use of information that is collected or
submitted as
described in this Privacy Policy.
“Personal information” is data about an
individual who can be
identified from that data, or from that data and other
information to which one
has access. Personal Information is usually your name in
combination with
another identifier, such as date of birth, postal address, email
address,
telephone number, or government-issued identification number.
The specific
definition of Personal Information often varies from one
jurisdiction to
another.
What Personal Information Do We Collect?
Our Clients are typically businesses, rather than individuals.
That said, when
you use our Site, services, contact us or participate in an
online survey, we
may collect a variety of personal information, including your
name, mailing
address, phone number, email address or contact preferences.
How Do We Use Your Personal Information?
We may use your Personal Information to track your use of our
Site; to transact
business with you in connection with the services; to assess
your degree of
satisfaction with our Site or the services; to update you about
our Site or the
services; to improve the effectiveness of the Site or the
services; to prevent,
deter and investigate violations of this Privacy Policy and our
Terms and
Conditions, or any fraud and other illegal activities; and to
send you important
notices regarding our services and changes to our business
policies.
With Whom Do We Share Your Personal Information?
We may share your Personal Information with third parties who may
help us operate
the Site or help us assess your interest or satisfaction with
the Site or the
services.
We may disclose your Personal Information if we determine that
disclosure is
reasonably necessary to enforce our Terms of
Use, this Privacy
Policy or to otherwise protect our operations, clients or users.
We may release your Personal Information to others (including law
enforcement) if
we believe such release is reasonably necessary to comply with
the law or legal
process; enforce or apply the terms of applicable terms of use;
detect, prevent,
or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; or
otherwise protect
the rights, property or safety of others.
We may sell, transfer and/or disclose your Personal Information
as part of a
business divestiture, sale, merger, or acquisition of all or a
part of our
business. If another company acquires our company, business, or
assets, that
company will possess the Personal Information collected by us
and will assume
the rights and obligations regarding your Personal Information
as described in
this Privacy Policy. In the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy,
or receivership,
your Personal Information may also be transferred as a business
asset.
How Do We Protect Your Personal Information?
We maintain a variety of security measures, including physical,
electronic and
procedural safeguards. No system can be completely secure, so we
do not promise,
and you should not expect, that your Personal Information,
searches, or other
communications will always remain secure.
Your Access to Personal Information
You can ask us for the Personal Information we possess, so that
you can determine
if it is inaccurate or if you want it deleted, provided we not
required to
retain it by law or for legitimate business purposes.
We may decline to process requests that are frivolous/vexatious,
jeopardize the
privacy of others, are extremely impractical, or for which
access is not
otherwise required by local law. Access, correction, or deletion
requests can be
made to hello@thespot.ma.
What Other Information Do We Collect?
We automatically gather information when you browse or view our
Site. This log
data may include your browser type (e.g., Chrome, Safari,
Firefox or Internet
Explorer), your domain, the Internet Protocol (IP) address
assigned to your
computer (or the unique device ID of your mobile device, or
other unique
identifier), the date and time of your visits, the pages on our
Site you visit
and other information related to your visit.
We collect data that does not, on its own, permit direct
association with any
specific individual. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose
such
non-personal information for any purpose.
If we combine non-personal information with your Personal
Information, we will
maintain the combined information as Personal Information for as
long as it
remains combined.
We may collect details of how visitors to the Site use our
services.
How Do We Employ Cookies and Similar
Technologies?
We use technologies such as “cookies” and web beacons so we can
remember certain
information about you, remember your preferences or recognize
you when you
return. They also help us compile aggregate data about Site
traffic and Site
interaction so that we can improve our Site and protect our Site
from fraud.
A cookie is a text file that stored on your computer. As text
files, cookies
cannot read information on your hard drive, run programs or
deliver viruses to
your computer. Cookies let our Site remember your preferences or
recognize you
when you return.
Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically. You can
set your browser
to decline all cookies automatically or to prompt you for a
response each time a
cookie is offered. Note that declining cookies may hinder our
Site’s performance
and may not allow you to access all of its features and
services.
Web beacons, also known as clear GIFs, are often used in
combination with
cookies. These often transparent images are part of web pages,
and allow us to
count users who have visited certain pages and to generate
statistics about how
our Site is used. They are not used to access Personal
Information.
Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in a format customers
can read, and
they tell us whether mail has been opened. We may use this
information to reduce
or eliminate messages sent to customers.
As do many internet sites, we gather some information
automatically, such
Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type and language,
Internet service
provider (ISP), referring and exit websites and applications,
operating system,
date/time stamp, and clickstream data.
In some of our email messages, you will find a “click-through
URL” linked to
content on our Site. We track this click-through data to help us
determine
interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of
our customer
communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you
should not
click such links in our email messages.
We use Google Adwords and Google Analytics to gather data such as
age, gender and
interests to provide advertising targeted to suit your interests
and
preferences. For example, you may see certain online ads on our
Site or other
sites because we contract with Google and similar companies to
target our ads
based on information collected from you or by automated means,
like cookies and
web beacons. These companies also use automated technologies to
collect
information when you click on our ads, which helps track and
manage the
effectiveness of our marketing efforts.
You may opt out of the automated collection of information by
third-party ad
networks for the purpose of delivering advertisements tailored
to your
interests, by visiting the consumer opt-out page for the
Self-Regulatory
Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising at
http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and edit or opt-out your
Google Display
Network ads’ preferences at
http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/
You may give consent for our Site to capture and record certain
precise
geo-location or global positioning data from your device in
order to tailor
information to your location. We may link such location data to
other
information that you provide to us or that may be accessed in
connection with
your use of our Site.
You should be able manage how your mobile device and mobile
browser share
location information with us, as well as how your mobile browser
handles cookies
and related technologies, by adjusting your mobile device’s
privacy and security
settings.
There are “do not track” or similar browser choices available to
internet users
with respect to online web activity, but given the present lack
of consensus of
what constitutes an informed election, appropriate trigger or
breadth of scope
of such choice, our Site will not operate any differently when a
“do not track”
signal is received.
Personal Information for Event Credentialing
One of the services that Thespot provides is event credentialing
for our
Clients. We do not control what Personal Information our Clients
collect, with
whom they share it, how they protect it, or what access they may
provide you to
it.
In general, our Clients will use your Personal Information to
decide whether
Thespot should issue you credentials to an event. We do not
control our
Clients’ uses of your Personal Information.
Our Clients may ask you for your name and postal address, email
address, and
telephone number, Social Security Number, drivers’ license
number or other
identifiers to determine your eligibility for credentials. The
Personal
Information requested will vary from Client to Client and Event
to Event.
You are not required to provide the Personal Information that our
Client
requests, but if you decline, you may not be eligible for the
services or
credentials sought.
You should review the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions of
each Client from
whom you seek credentials to understand its collection, use,
sharing or
protection of your Personal Information, and inquire directly of
the Client as
you see fit.
Social Networking Sites
You may be able to post content to Social Networking Sites (such
as Facebook,
Instagram, Snapchat or Twitter) on which we maintain a presence.
If you choose
to do this, we will provide information to the Social Networking
Sites in
accordance with your elections. You acknowledge and agree that
you are solely
responsible for your use of those websites and that it is your
responsibility to
review the terms of use and privacy policies. We are not
responsible for the
availability, accuracy, content, products or services of such
Social Network
Sites.
Third Party Links
Our Site may have links or be linked to other sites we do not
own, control or
maintain. We are not responsible for and make no representations
or warranties
about the privacy practices of those sites. We recommend that
you check the
privacy policies of other sites and contact the operator if you
have concerns or
questions. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our
Site and welcome
any feedback about these third party sites.
Children
Our Site is not directed to minors. If we learn that we have
collected personal
information from anyone under the age of 13, we will endeavor to
delete such
information as soon as reasonably possible.
Privacy Rights of California Residents
California residents are entitled once a year, free of charge, to
request and
obtain certain information regarding our disclosure of personal
information to
third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Thespot does
not disclose
personal information to third parties for direct marketing
purposes.
Opting Out of Communications
You may opt-out of receiving marketing-related emails by clicking
the
“unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any email you

please follow
the cancellation instructions contained in the last text
message. If you are
having difficulty unsubscribing from our marketing
communications using the

If you opt-out from receiving marketing emails or text messages,
we may still
need to send you communications about your orders, customer
service inquiries,
promotions participation and other matters.
If you agreed to receive future marketing communications directly
from a third
party through our Site, you will need to contact that party to
opt-out of such
communications. This process may be outlined on that party’s
Privacy Policy.

your consent to
the practices described in the revised Privacy Statement.
