This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that MyUS.com does not own or control, or to people whom MyUS.com does not employ or manage, including any third party advertisers or other websites that may link to or be accessible from the Website.

MyUS.com reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time and without prior notice. All changes to this Privacy Policy will be effective immediately upon being posted to the Website. We will notify you of any material changes to this Privacy Policy by conspicuously posting the changes on the Website. Each version of our Privacy Policy will be prominently marked with the date it was last updated. By continuing to use the Website after we change the terms of this Privacy Policy, you consent to those changes.

We collect several types of information from and about you when you access and use the Website, including the following:
Non-Personal Information. When you visit the Website, we may collect non-Personal information about you automatically as you navigate through the Website via certain Internet technology tools, including cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies. "Non-Personal information" we may collect includes, for example, details about how you use the Website, what Website features you access, information regarding the type of browser and operating system that you use, what website you linked from to the Website, other websites you have visited, and other similar analytic data. Non-Personal information also includes Personal or non-Personal information that has been aggregated or anonymized/deidentified in such a way that you cannot easily be identified individually. We may use third party service providers to assist us in collecting and analyzing non-Personal information or to provide advertisements or other content on the Website.
Personal Information. We may collect Personal information: (1) when you provide it to us directly, including through forms on the Website (including, for example, when you register for our service, purchase a membership, use our services, or otherwise); (2) when you send us an email or contact us using the Help page or Live Chat; and (3) from third-party service providers who assist us in collecting and analyzing Personal information.
The providers of third-party apps, tools, widgets and plug-ins on our Website also may use automated means to collect information regarding your interactions with these features. This information is subject to the privacy policies or notices of those providers, and MyUS.com is not responsible for these providers' information policies.
If you elect to post any information to publicly-accessible areas of the Website, you hereby grant to MyUS.com a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, fully-paid-up, royalty-free, nonexclusive license to use, reproduce, copy, modify, publish, distribute, perform, display, and create derivative works from such information (in whole or part) for any reason whatsoever.
We use Personal and non-Personal information:
- To determine how much traffic the Website receives, to statistically analyze Website usage, to diagnose technical and service problems, to improve Website content, to customize the Website's content, layout and services, and to otherwise provide the Website to you and other users;
- To process payments and complete transactions;
- To provide you with information regarding transactions or to otherwise contact you regarding administrative notice and communications related to your use of the Website;
- To send an initial, one-time greeting, to send you notices with respect to receiving and shipping your packages, to occasionally email you notifications of any announcements at MyUS.com, and to send newsletters or special offers to members if you have requested that service;

- To comply with applicable legal requirements and our policies;
- As otherwise may be disclosed at the point of collection; and
- For any other purpose with your consent.
We do not sell, rent, or loan our email lists to outside firms.
We may retain the content of any emails or messages you send us, and your name, your email address, and our response in order to handle any follow-up questions you may have. We may also use this information to measure how effectively we address your concerns.
Non-Personal Information. Because non-Personal information does not identify who you are, we may share or disclose such information without restriction. For example, we may share or disclose non-Personal information with our affiliates, suppliers, employees and agents, other businesses, and the government.

When we transfer your information to other countries, we will protect that information as described in this Privacy Notice and in accordance with applicable law. We use contractual protections for the transfer of Personal information among various jurisdictions (including, for example, the European Commission's standard contractual clauses).

Due to the nature of the Internet and online communications, however, we cannot guarantee that any information transmitted online will remain absolutely secure or confidential, and we are not liable for the acts of third parties, such as hackers who circumvent our security and privacy measures. The security of your Personal information also depends on you. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your username, suite number, password, and other login credentials. MyUS.com recommends that you do not share that information with third parties. We also recommend that you be careful not to post any Personal information in public areas of the Website, such as the Blog, as that information may be viewed by other users or third parties that you do not know.
