Overview

You can review certain limited information about us and our Services on our web site and any Freeosk kiosk without telling us who you are. However, to obtain a sample or receive information from us you will need to do one of two things: 1) You can sign up for an account and become a Freeosk Member through participating Freeosk locations, our mobile app or web site; or 2) you can use certain existing credentials you use with a participating store. For example, a designated club, loyalty, credit or other store card; email address; phone number; or other credentials associated with a retailer ("Retailer Credentials") to access the Service at designated Freeosk locations. Once you use your Retailer Credentials to access the Services, your information will be shared with us and you will also become a Freeosk Member.

Note that anytime you choose to connect your use of the Freeosk Services to Retailer Credentials, information about you will be shared between us and the applicable retailer, including personal information, information relating to your purchases and samples tried, and information related to your interests and preferences. For further information, see "Additional Details About Our Data Practices".

If you become a Freeosk Member or provide us with your email address or other information through any of our Services (including by using Retailer Credentials), you consent to our processing, storage and transfer of that information, as described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Personal, Sensitive, and Non-Personal Data We Collect and How We Use and Disclose It

We may collect data from you directly, automatically when you visit the Services, and sometimes from third parties. Some of this data may be considered "personal information" or "personal data," and some of which may be considered "sensitive" under various applicable laws. We consider information that identifies you as a specific, identified individual to be personal information (such as your name, phone number, e-mail address), and we treat additional information, including IP addresses and cookie identifiers, as "personal data" where required by applicable law. Note that we may de-identify or pseudonymize personal data so that it is non-personal, such as by aggregating it or converting it to a code, sometimes using a mathematical function (commonly known as a "hash"). The code does not identify you directly, but it may be used to connect your activity through the Services or elsewhere online. We maintain and use de-identified data without attempting to re-identify it, except where permitted by applicable law, such as to determine whether our de-identification processes satisfy legal requirements. We will treat de-identified and pseudonymized data as non-personal to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law. If we combine non-personal data with personal data, then we will treat the combined information as personal data under this Privacy Policy.

The following chart sets out by category the personal data collected ("Category"), the purposes for which the information is collected ("A. Purposes"), the categories of third parties to whom the information may be disclosed for a business purpose ("B. Disclosed To"), and the categories of third parties to whom the information may be sold for monetary value or other valuable consideration or shared for cross contextual behavioral advertising/targeted marketing ("C. Sold/Shared To").

2. Additional Details About Our Data Practices

We provide in this section additional detail about the data practices listed in the chart above, where it would be helpful for your understanding of such practices.

  • Data We Collect Automatically: Device ID/Interaction Information. We and our third party business partners (including third-party content, advertising, and analytics companies and other third party service providers) may use a variety of technologies, including cookies and web beacons, that automatically or passively collect certain information whenever you visit or interact with the Services ("Device ID/Interaction Information"), which we store in our server log files and which we may associate with your Freeosk profile. Device ID/Interaction Information may include information such as your web request, browser type, the operating system you are using, the URL or advertisement that referred you to our Services, the search terms you entered into a search engine that lead you to one of our Services, how you interact with the Services, your mobile carrier, and the time of day you visited the Services, among other information. It also includes how you use our Services, such as product samples you have viewed, selected and reviewed, and coupons or other offers you have requested, received and used.

    Device ID/Interaction Information also includes your IP address, mobile device identifiers, and other unique identifiers associated with the device you use to access our Services. Device ID/Interaction Information uniquely identify your device and may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device's operating system or other software, or data sent by us to the device. Device ID/Interaction Information may be used to recognize you and track how you use the Services. We may combine Device ID/Interaction Information with personal information we have collected and may store Device ID/Interaction Information in your profile.

    Geo-Location Data. We may infer your general location using other information we collect, such as IP address. In addition, when you opt-in to collection of location data through mobile application(s) (each an "App") you use to interact with us, we may access, collect, monitor and/or remotely store specific "location data" from your device, which may include GPS coordinates (e.g. latitude and/or longitude) or similar information regarding the location of your device. And, of course, whenever you interact with one of our Freeosks, we will know the store and location of that Freeosk. Geo-location and more general location data may be used to provide you with information, such as enabling you to find our Freeosk kiosk locations, or to send you special offers based on your location. You may be able to turn off the collection of location information through your device settings. However, please note that we may still be able to infer your approximate location through other information we collect, such as IP address. In addition, some mobile service providers may also provide us or our third-party service providers with information regarding the physical location of the device used to access the Services.

    Some features of the Services, particularly location-based offers, may not function properly if use or availability of location data is impaired or disabled.

    We use the following types of tracking technologies to collect Device ID/Interaction Information:

    Cookies and Local Storage. We may send one or more "cookies" to uniquely identify your browser, which are small data files placed on your computer or other device when you access our Services or online content. Cookies may be used for many purposes, including to provide us information about how you utilize the Services, remember you and your preferences, save your information to log-in faster, track your visits to our webpages, and otherwise enhance your navigation through the Services. We may use cookies to assist us in targeting information, advertising, or other communications to you.

    We use both session and persistent cookies. A session cookie is temporary and disappears when the Service session is completed. You can reset your web browser on your computer or mobile device to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. A persistent cookie remains on the hard drive of your device after you close your browser so that your browser can use it on subsequent uses of the Services accessed by that device. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser's directions. You can find more information about cookies and how they work at www.allaboutcookies.org.

    Pixel Tags. Small graphic images or other web programming code (also known as web beacons or 1x1 GIFs or clear GIFs) may be included in our web pages and email messages. These and similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes by us and third parties, including to count visitors to the Services, to monitor how users navigate the Services, to count how many emails that were sent were actually opened or to count how many particular videos or links were actually viewed, or for marketing and targeted advertising purposes.

    In addition, we may use these and a variety of other technologies that collect Device ID/Interaction Information and similar information for security and fraud detection purposes.

    Embedded Scripts. An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect data about your interactions with the Services, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily used by our server or a third party service provider or business partner while you browse or interact with the Services and is deactivated or deleted when you disconnect from the Services.

    Data Collected Through Mobile Devices and SDKs. We use embedded scripts and the tools provided in Software Development Kits ("SDKs") to collect data through mobile devices such as the hardware model, operating system and version, identification numbers assigned to your mobile device, such as the ID for Advertising (IDFA) on Apple devices, and the Advertising ID on Android devices, mobile network data, and website usage behavior. SDKs are software packages that contain a set of tools that can be used to help build applications and implement new features in existing apps including those that collect data from your device.

    In addition, we may use these and a variety of other technologies that collect Device ID/Interaction Information and similar information for security, fraud detection, and maintenance purposes.

  • Data We Receive or Collect from Third Parties.

    Data Provided to Us by Retailers. Sometimes you will use Retailer Credentials issued by or associated with the store where you are shopping or the store's app to access our Services. If you use Retailer Credentials or a store related app to interact with a Freeosk kiosk, you will establish a separate profile with us that is separate from that retailer ("Freeosk Member Profile"). We refer to the applicable store as the "Retailer". The Retailer will be able to identify that you used a Freeosk kiosk, and may share certain information with us about you and your purchase and transaction history, as well as your first and last name, contact information, your customer ID associated with the Retailer or other identifier (which may include a mobile advertising ID), and other information the Retailer has collected about you.

    When you associate your use of our Services with Retailer Credentials or retail app, we and the Retailer may exchange and share data regarding your use of the Services including the samples you try, your purchase history with the retailer and other information in your profile. You can confirm what information is shared between the Retailer and Freeosk by contacting the Retailer or contacting us using our contact information below. For more information, please see our chart of disclosures.

    Enhancement Data. In addition, we may receive information about you from other third parties. For example, we may supplement the information we collect with outside records from third parties, such as public databases, publicly available social media pages, or joint marketing partners, for various purposes, such as to provide you with information, services or products, to tailor our content and the offers we show you, or to enhance our products and services.

    We may combine information we receive from third parties with information we collect through the Services. In those cases, we will apply this Privacy Policy to the combined information.

  • Data You Provide Directly. We may ask you to provide us information directly, such as contact information, including your name, mailing address, and email address, and other information about you, such as demographic information (for example, ZIP code and day and month of birth) and information about your interests and preferences. When you create an account, it may include username and password. You may provide personal information and other information through various forms and features on the Services.

    Sweepstakes, Contests, and Promotions. We may offer sweepstakes, contests, or other promotions (any, a "Promotion") that may require registration. By participating in a Promotion, you agree to the conditions or official rules that govern the Promotion, which may involve specific requirements (including allowing the sponsor(s) of the Promotion to use your name, voice, likeness, or other indicia of persona in advertising or marketing materials, except where prohibited by law). If you choose to enter a Promotion, personal information may be disclosed to third parties or the public in connection with administering the Promotion, such as in connection with winner selection, prize fulfillment, as required by law, or as permitted by the Promotion's terms or official rules.

    Resume Submissions. You may submit your resume and personal information through the website in response to (or to be considered for) a potential job opening at Freeosk. When you apply for a job with Freeosk, we may ask you to provide self-identifying information (such as veteran status, gender, and ethnicity) in conjunction with laws and regulations enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and other federal, state, and local regulatory agencies. Providing such self-identifying information is voluntary, but if you do provide such information, we and/or our service provider may submit that information to the appropriate government or regulatory agencies to fulfill reporting requirements and use that information to defend against employment-related complaints.

  • Disclosure of Data to Third Parties. Freeosk may share non-personal data, such as Device ID/Interaction Information, aggregated user statistics, and information that has been hashed or otherwise de-identified or pseudonymized data (including email addresses), and/or our analyses derived from such data, with third parties in our discretion, including for targeted advertising purposes. Please note that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third party. If you decide that you do not want to receive communications from a third party, or have questions about their privacy practices, you will need to contact that third party directly. Freeosk may share data we have collected about you (including personal data) as disclosed at the time you provide your information, as described in this Privacy Policy, with your consent, and in the circumstances described below.

    Information Shared through Our Partnerships with Retailers. When you interact with us using Retailer Credentials or a retailer's app, the Retailers may share certain information about you with us (as described above) and we may also share certain information with the Retailer. The information we share with the Retailer may include your personal data, which the Retailer may use for the purposes of directly sending you communications and promotional materials regarding their goods and/or services, directly, or through the Services. It also includes information regarding the samples you have tried, coupons you have used, and other information relating to your use of the Services. Please see our U.S. State Specific Rights section for additional information. California residents, please see "Notice to California Residents" for additional information.

    Service Providers. We may provide information about you with third-party service providers to enable them to perform services on our (or your) behalf. These third parties may include computer hosting services, data matching services, and email or mobile communication companies.

    Social Media Interactions. We may host or facilitate interactions with social media or other third party platforms, like Facebook, Instagram, or X (Twitter). You may also have the opportunity to log in through or otherwise connect your third party platform account. When you interact with these third party platforms through the Services, we will receive data about you from the third party platform service and you will be choosing to share data about your interactions with Freeosk with that social media service.

    In addition, the third party platform service may set their own cookies and collect data about your use of the Services, including your IP address or other device identifiers, and which pages you visit on the Services. These third party platforms may be able to collect certain data on your visits to the Services regardless of whether or not you affirmatively interact with the feature and whether or not you are logged into (or have) an account with the third party platform. If you are logged out or do not have an account and visit a page with a social plug-in, your browser sends a more limited set of data. Like other sites, the third party platform will receive data about the webpage you are visiting, the date and time of your visit, and other browser-related data. They may use that data to help them improve their products or for other purposes set forth in their privacy policy. We may also receive data about you if other users of social media give us access to their profiles and you are one of their connections or "friends."

    The data we collect is subject to this Privacy Policy. The data collected and stored by the third party remains subject to the third party's privacy practices, including, without limitation, whether the third party continues to share data with us, the types of data shared, and your choices with regard to what is visible to others on that third-party website or service. The third party may allow you to remove the application or feature, in which case we will no longer collect data about you through the application or feature, but we may retain the data previously collected.

    If you choose to post information to a third-party platform, that information may be public.

    Business Transitions. In the event Freeosk goes through a transition such as being sold, has all or a portion of its assets acquired or transferred, whether voluntary or involuntary (such as through bankruptcy), or merges or becomes affiliated with any other division, individual, or entity (such as during the course of any due diligence process), any customer data owned or under the control of Freeosk (including your personal information) will likely be one of the transferred assets. We reserve the right, as part of this type of transaction, to assign or otherwise transfer your data (including your personal data) and other data we have collected from users of the Services. By providing your personal data, you agree that we may transfer such data to the acquiring entity without your further consent.

    Administrative and Legal Reasons. Freeosk may transfer and disclose data, including your personal data, Device ID/Interaction Information with third parties if required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation or legal process; to address fraud, security or technical issues; to protect our rights, property, safety, security, or that of other users or the public. We may in our sole discretion elect in good faith to cooperate with copyright owners, Internet service providers, wireless service providers or any law enforcement agency requesting assistance with an official investigation by disclosing and/or sharing with such agency any and all information, data and/or content connected with you and/or your use of the Services. We may also, but need not, in our sole discretion, initiate a report to any law enforcement agency where it is reasonably suspected that unlawful activity may occur, or may have occurred, including sharing data connected with you and/or the Services.

    When You Direct that We Share Your Data. We may share data when you direct that we do so. For example, you may be presented with an opportunity to receive information and/or marketing offers from one or more third parties. If you agree at that time to have your personal data shared, your personal data will be disclosed to that third party (or parties) and will be subject to their privacy practices. Or you may choose to interact with a third party application or feature, through which data about you is shared. Please note that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties. If you later decide that you no longer want to receive communications from a third party, you will need to contact that third party directly.
