Use and Sharing of Personal Information

The personal information that you submit to Barron Prize remains your property.  Barron Prize will never sell, rent, exchange or barter your personal information to or with any third party for financial gain or marketing purposes.

Where you submit an application in connection with the Contest, we use your application, and associated information, solely to evaluate your Contest entry and eligibility for a Gloria Barron Prize, and to contact you in connection with same.  Where you register to access any of the Barron Prize Offerings, we use the personal information that you make available to personalize your experience with the Site, facilitate the delivery of the applicable Barron Prize Offerings to you and for verification purposes. You also agree that we may contact you at any time with updates and/or any other information that we may deem appropriate for you to receive in connection with your continued use of the Barron Prize Offerings, including your entry in the Contest.

In addition, if you identify yourself to us by sending us an email or some other communication with questions or comments, we may use such information (including personal information) to respond to your questions or comments, and we may file your questions or comments for future reference.

Where users who are above the age of majority in their respective jurisdictions of residence (“Adult Users”) make personal information available to Barron Prize, those Adult Users grant Barron Prize the right, subject to applicable state and federal law, to use that personal information to send those Adult Users email communications that contain certain promotional material from Barron Prize and/or T. A. Barron. If any users wish to stop receiving future communications from us, please see the Opt-Out/Unsubscribe section below.

We may permit our third-party agents, service providers, vendors and subcontractors, such as WizeHive, Inc. (“WizeHive”), to access your personal information, but they are only permitted to do so in connection with performing services for us and/or to operate the Barron Prize Offerings.  WizeHive assists us in connection with the collection and processing of applications associated with the Contest.  These third parties, including WizeHive, are not authorized to use that personal information for their own benefit.

Where an Adult User and/or the Parent or Guardian of Authorized Minor who has undergone our age verification process submits her/his/its personal information by and through the Barron Prize Offerings, that Adult User and/or Parent or Guardian, as applicable, agrees that such act constitutes an inquiry and/or application for purposes of the Amended Telemarketing Sales Rule (16 CFR §310 et seq.), as amended from time to time (the “Rule”) and applicable state do-not-call regulations.  As such, notwithstanding that such Adult User’s telephone number may be listed on the Federal Trade Commission’s Do-Not-Call List, and/or on applicable state do-not-call lists, we retain the right to contact that Adult User via telemarketing in accordance with the Rule and applicable state do-not-call regulations.

Where an Adult User and/or the Parent or Guardian of Authorized Minor who has undergone our age verification process provides “prior express consent” within the meaning of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 USC § 227), and its implementing regulations adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (47 CFR § 64.1200), as amended from time-to-time (“TCPA”), that Adult User and/or Parent or Guardian, as applicable, consents to receive telephone calls (including text alerts via SMS text messages) from Barron Prize delivered via automated technology, to the telephone number(s) that such Adult User provided.  Please note that no user is required to provide this consent in order to obtain access to the Barron Prize Offerings, and an Adult User’s and/or Parent or Guardian’s consent, as applicable, consent simply allows Barron Prize to contact that Adult User via these means. Please be advised that by agreeing to this Privacy Policy, each Adult User and/or Parent or Guardian, as applicable, is obligated to immediately inform us if and when the telephone number that the Adult User and/or Parent or Guardian, as applicable, had previously provided to us changes.  Without limiting the foregoing, if an Adult User and/or Parent or Guardian, as applicable: (a) has her/his/its telephone number reassigned to another person or entity; (b) gives up her/his/its telephone number so that it is no longer used by such Adult User and/or Parent or Guardian, as applicable; (c) ports her/his/its telephone number to a landline or vice versa; or (d) otherwise stops using that telephone number for any reason (collectively “Phone Number Change”), that Adult User and/or Parent or Guardian, as applicable, agrees that she/he/it shall promptly notify Barron Prize of the Phone Number Change via e-mail at: admin@barronprize.org, or by using one of the methods set forth in the “Contact Us” section below.

We reserve the right to release current or past personal information: (i) in the event that we believe that the Barron Prize Offerings are being, or have been, used in violation of the Terms and Conditions, the rules applicable to any Promotion or to commit unlawful acts; (ii) if the information is subpoenaed; provided, however, that, where permitted by applicable law, we shall provide you with e-mail notice, and opportunity to challenge the subpoena, prior to disclosure of any personal information pursuant to a subpoena; (iii) if we are sold, merged or acquired (collectively, “M&A Transactions”) (including where we share your personal information in connection with the due diligence process associated with a potential M&A Transaction); or (iv) if we are the subject of bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that if we are involved in an M&A Transaction or bankruptcy proceeding, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on the Site of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices that you may have regarding your personal information.

If you post feedback, or otherwise provide personal information by and through any applicable Social Media Websites, you should be aware that any personal information that you submit using such forums can be read, collected or used by other users of these forums (depending on your privacy settings on the applicable Social Media Websites), and could be used to send you unsolicited messages or otherwise contact you without your consent or desire. We are not responsible for the personal information that you choose to submit in these forums.

Further, where an Adult User submits material via the Social Media Websites, that Adult User: (a) represents and warrants that Barron Prize’s use of the submission does not and will not breach any agreement, violate any law, violate any Social Media Website’s terms of service or infringe upon any third party’s rights; (b) agree that Barron Prize is free to use in any manner all or part of the feedback and/or other material on an unrestricted basis without the obligation to notify, identify or compensate the subject Adult User or anyone else; and (c) grant Barron Prize all necessary rights, including a waiver of all copyright, trademark, privacy and moral rights, to use all feedback and/or other material, in whole or in part, or as a derivative work, without any duty of Barron Prize to anyone whatsoever.

The privacy of your personal information is very important to us. When our registration process asks end-users to submit sensitive personal information (if any), and when we transmit such sensitive information, that information is encrypted and is protected with advanced TLS (Transport Layer Security).

Access to your personal information is strictly limited, and we take reasonable measures to ensure that your personal information is not accessible to the public. The servers that we store personal information in are kept in a secure physical environment. We also have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of personal information under our control. Please be advised, however, that while we take every reasonable precaution available to protect your data, no storage facility, technology, software, security protocols or data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Computer hackers that circumvent our security measures may gain access to certain portions of your personal information, and technological bugs, errors and glitches may cause inadvertent disclosures of your personal information; provided, however, that any attempt to breach the security of the network, our servers, databases or other hardware or software constitutes a crime punishable by law. For the reasons mentioned above, we cannot warrant that your personal information will be absolutely secure. Any transmission of data at or through the Site is at your own risk.

All of our end-users’ personal information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees or third party agents who need the personal information to perform a specific job are granted access to personal information. Our employees are dedicated to ensuring the security and privacy of all user personal information. Employees not adhering to our firm policies are subject to disciplinary action. In compliance with applicable federal and state laws, we shall notify you and any applicable regulatory agencies in the event that we learn of an information security breach with respect to your personal information. You will be notified via e-mail in the event of such a breach. Please be advised that notice may be delayed in order to address the needs of law enforcement, determine the scope of network damage, and to engage in remedial measures.

You may do so by e-mailing us at: admin@barronprize.org.

We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup tapes).

Please be advised that deleting your personal information may terminate your access to certain of the Barron Prize Offerings. If you wish to continue using the full complement of Barron Prize Offerings, you may not be able to delete all of the personal information that we have on file for you.

Please be further advised that, after you delete your personal information, residual copies may take a period of time before they are deleted from our active servers and may remain in our backup systems.

Transfer of Personal Information Internationally

If you are visiting the Site from a country other than the country in which our servers are located, your communications with us may result in the transfer of information across international boundaries. By visiting the Site and/or otherwise communicating electronically with us, you consent to such transfers.  Even if your jurisdiction does not have the same privacy laws as the jurisdiction where our servers are located, we will treat your information as subject to the protections described in this Privacy Policy.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

Barron Prize reserves the right to change or update this Privacy Policy at any time by posting a notice on the Site that we are changing our Privacy Policy. If the manner in which we use personal information changes, Barron Prize will notify end-users by: (a) sending the modified policy to our end-users via email; and/or (b) by any other reasonable means acceptable under applicable state and federal law. You will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in this different manner and we will only use your information in this different manner where you opt-in to such use.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable Covered User request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.  If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
