last updated 09/09/16

By using our site, you consent to our privacy policy. You may use our site anonymously.

What information do we collect?

We collect contact information and demographic information about you and your business when you use any of our online forms to subscribe to b2bTRIBE, purchase an advertisement, or submit content for the magazine.

When you complete a financial transaction online with us using a credit card, we store the following in our database: your name, date of payment, PayPal™ authorization and cancellation codes, transaction’s reference number, type of payment, the last four digits of the credit card, the credit card expiration date, the cardholder name, billing address and shipping address. We DO NOT store the CVV number for credit cards.

What do we use your information for?

Any of the information we collect from you may be used in one of the following ways:

• Processing financial transactions and fulfilling requests submitted via forms. Your information, whether public or private, will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to any other company for any reason whatsoever, without your consent, other than for the express purpose of delivering the purchased product or service requested.
• Adding you to the magazine’s distribution list if you complete a subscription or sign-up form. Emails provided during financial transactions are not added to the magazine’s subscription list. If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, we include detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email.
• Demographic information may be used in aggregate with other subscribers for news, publicity, information, trade, advertising, public relations, promotional purposes, and tailoring our content to various groups. Submitting demographic information is optional.

How do we protect your information?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order or enter, submit, or access your personal information. All financial transactions on our site are completed via secure PayPal transaction. All form data is submitted using either JotForm’s or InfusionSoft’s encryption. Our database is accessible only to those authorized with special access rights to our system and who are required to keep the information confidential.

However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure. Although we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you send to us, and you do so at your own risk. After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) will not be stored on our servers.

Your privacy is important to us, but due to the existing legal regulatory and security environment, b2bTRIBE cannot guarantee that your private communications and other personally identifiable information will not be disclosed to third parties. Under certain circumstances, the government or third parties may intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Additionally, in the unlikely event the b2bTRIBE needs to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, it can disclose any information about you to private entities, law enforcement, or other government officials as b2bTRIBE, in its sole discretion, believes necessary or appropriate, or to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on b2bTRIBE.

Do we use cookies?

Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the sites or service providers systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. We use cookies to keep track of advertisements and to compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions in order to offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may also use trusted third party services that track this information on our behalf.

If you prefer, you can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies via your browser settings. Like most websites, if you turn your cookies off, some of our services may not function properly. However, you can still place orders over the telephone.

What happens if I change my information provided to b2bTRIBE?

You can change your information by emailing us or following the instructions included at the bottom of our emails to you. We will maintain copies of user information to the extent retained as part of our website’s standard backup/archive process. In addition, these procedures will not remove such of your information that has been provided by you to, or collected from you by, the websites of our business partners. We are not responsible for ensuring the removal or deletion from the websites of our business partners of your information provided by us to our business partners as permitted by you.

Do we disclose any information to outside parties?

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your e-mail address or financial information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

Is my information protected on sites linked to the b2bTRIBE website?

No. This site often contains links to other websites. b2bTRIBE cannot be responsible for their content or for private information that you may choose to share with them. b2bTRIBE encourages you to investigate and ask questions before disclosing personal information to third parties on any website.
