Privacy Policy
(Effective September 23, 2014)
Teen Impact Affiliates (“TIA”) Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how we collect and use the personal information you decide to share and help you make informed decisions when communicating with TIA.
By communicating with TIA, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy. This privacy statement covers the sites www.teenimpactaffiliates.com and mobile platforms.
Privacy of Donors
In a manner consistent with the following privacy policy, we respect and monitor the privacy of our donors and supporters. We make every effort to disclose information only as specifically instructed by the donor and/or supporter and in a manner consistent with his or her wishes. TIA will not sell, trade, or share a donor’s personal information with anyone else, nor send mailings on behalf of other organizations. If you have a question about donor/supporter privacy, please contact us through the link on this site www.teenimpactaffiliates.com.
The Information We Collect
When you register with TIA via this website, text message, or other mobile platforms, you provide us with certain personal information such as your name, your email address, your telephone number, your address, your gender and other personal or preference information.
TIA may also collect information about you from other sources such as newspapers, blogs and instant messaging services in order to provide you with more useful information and a more personalized experience.
By communicating with TIA, you are consenting to have your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States.
Use of Information Obtained by TIA
TIA may send you announcements from time to time through phone, email or text message. In regards to broadcast text messages, you may opt-out of these communications. If you do not wish to receive them, you may text “STOP” to the received message.
We may use information about you that we collect from other sources including but not limited to newspapers and Internet sources such as blogs and instant messaging services. Where such information is used, we generally allow you to specify, in your privacy settings, that you do not want this to be done or to take other actions that limit the connection of this information.
Sharing Your Information with Third Parties
We do not provide contact information to third party marketers without your permission. We share your information with third parties only in limited circumstances where we believe such sharing is 1) reasonably necessary to offer a service, 2) legally required or, 3) permitted by you.
For example:
We may provide information to service providers to help us bring you the services we offer. Specifically, we may use third parties to facilitate our business such as to host the service at a co-location facility for servers, to send out email updates about TIA, to remove repetitive information from our user lists, to process payments for products or services, or to provide search results or links (including sponsored links). In connection with these offerings and business operations, our service providers may have access to your personal information for use for a limited time in connection with these business activities. Where we utilize third parties for the processing of any personal information, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that information to the TIA-specified purposes.
In conjunction with the use of the TIA Platform, third parties who agree to abide by the TIA Platform Terms of Service, including restrictions on access, storage and use of such data, may have limited access to your personal information. We have undertaken contractual and technical steps to restrict possible misuse of such information by such third parties, but of course cannot and do not guarantee that all third parties will abide by such agreements. Please report any suspected misuse of information through the TIA Platform here and we will investigate any such claim and take appropriate action against the third party.
We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have a good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we may share account or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the TIA service or using the TIA name, or to prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies.
We let you choose to share information with marketers or electronic commerce providers through sponsored groups or other on-site offers.
If the ownership of all or substantially all of the TIA business, or individual business units owned by TIA, were to change, your user information may be transferred to the new owner so the service can continue operations. In any such transfer of information, your user information would remain subject to the promises made in the pre-existing Privacy Policy, i.e., the latest policy in effect before the change occurred.

We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information.
