Personal and non-personal information
Our Privacy Policy outlines our approach to handling both your personal and non-personal information, ensuring that your data is handled with utmost care and security.
What is non-personal information and how is it collected and used?
Non-personal information refers to data that cannot be used to identify you. If you visit our website to access information about our services, for instance, we may collect specific non-personal information from your web browser. Since this kind of information cannot be linked to your identity, there are no limitations on how we can utilize or disclose it. On the other hand, personal information refers to data that does identify you as an individual, including your name, address, email, phone number, and fax number. We may collect personal information through various means.
- When submitting an application or any other form to us
- When engaging in a transaction with us, our affiliates, or other parties
- When gathering information from you to facilitate a transaction, such as credit card details, we strive to enhance the quality of our writing by optimizing word choice, sentence structure, readability, and eloquence, all while preserving the intended meaning.
- On certain sections of this website, you have the chance to provide us with personal information, choose to receive specific details, make a purchase for access to our products or services, or engage in an activity. We value your participation and aim to enhance your experience throughout.
Legal Compliance
Novarise is committed to complying with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), where applicable.
Are cookies or other technologies used to collect personal information?
We utilize cookies and related technologies, like web beacons, to gather information from our website. A cookie, in the form of a text file, is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies do not have the ability to run programs or transmit viruses to your computer. They are unique to each user and can only be read by the web server in the domain that issued the cookie. The main purpose of cookies is to enhance convenience and save you time. They enable the web server to recognize your return to a specific page. For instance, if you register with us, a cookie assists Novarise in remembering your information for future visits. This simplifies the process of capturing and recalling your personal details, such as billing and shipping addresses. By retrieving your previously provided information when you revisit our website, you can easily utilize customized features. On the other hand, a web beacon, a small graphic image, allows the issuer to monitor and collect specific details about the viewer, such as the browser type, IP address, and time of viewing. While web beacons can be barely noticeable, any electronic image, even HTML-based content, can function as a web beacon. We may employ them to track visitor counts and user navigation on our web pages, and utilize them in email messages to assess the open rate, recipient actions, or forwarded messages.
Third-party vendors may utilize cookies on our website. For example, we may engage with third parties to employ cookies on our platform, enabling the tracking and analysis of anonymous usage and volume statistics from visitors and members. This information is shared externally solely in an anonymous and aggregated format. These external parties utilize persistent cookies to enhance the visitor experience, manage our site content, and monitor visitor behavior. Additionally, we may contract with a third party to send emails to our registered users/members.
To enhance the measurement and effectiveness of our e-mail communications, we utilize cookies through a third party. Any data gathered on behalf of Novarise is used exclusively for our purposes and is only shared externally in an anonymous and aggregated manner. Occasionally, we may allow third parties to display advertisements on our website. These advertisements may include cookies or web beacons provided by the third party. Please note that this Privacy Policy does not cover the use of information collected by third party ad servers. We do not have control over cookies used in such third party ads. Before clicking on an ad, we recommend reviewing the privacy policies of the advertisers and/or ad services to understand their use of cookies and other technologies. Rest assured, we do not share your personal information with these companies. Nevertheless, they may use the information about your visits to this and other websites to provide you with targeted advertisements about products and services that may interest you. Additionally, they may share the personal information you provide to them with other parties.
You have the option to accept or decline cookies. While most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, you can typically adjust your browser settings to decline them if you prefer. It’s important to note that by choosing to decline cookies, you may not have the full interactive experience when visiting Novarise websites.

In certain cases, we might remove specific identifiers like your name, email address, or social security number. At that point, even though the data still exists, it will no longer be linked to your individual identity. This de-identified information is then treated as non-personal data, similar to other non-personal information we handle.

Your privacy is of utmost importance to us.
To ensure the privacy and security of your personal information, we commit to not selling, exchanging, or publishing it, unless it is in connection with a corporate sale, merger, dissolution, or acquisition. In certain cases, where additional services like credit, insurance, or escrow are involved, our trusted third-party vendors, including credit card companies, clearinghouses, and banks, may need to collect personal information directly from you to facilitate your transaction. While we do not have control over how these third parties utilize your information, we do request them to disclose their usage practices before collecting any data. Your privacy is of utmost importance to us.
When you use our Facebook Fan Review Application to submit a review for a third party, we will request your consent to collect basic information such as your name and email address.

In order to ensure the well-being and safety of all visitors, we may collaborate with law enforcement authorities to investigate and prosecute individuals who violate our rules or engage in harmful or illegal behavior.

Please note that as described in the section on cookies and other technologies, we may occasionally allow third parties to display advertisements on this website.
Please note that if you choose to share information with advertisers, such as through clicking on their ads, please be aware that this Privacy Policy does not govern how those advertisers will handle your personal information.
