Privacy Policy

 

3Line Card Management Limited respects the privacy of all of its users and is committed to protecting such privacy in accordance with this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy explains 3Line Card Management Limited’s ("3Line ") treatment of your Personal Data collected in connection with your activities on or related to the 3Line website. 
 
We urge you to read this Privacy Policy carefully and to check back periodically as this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies or websites which are not owned or controlled by 3Line.
 
INFORMATION COLLECTED
In the course of operating the 3Line Services, we may collect two types of information about our users: Personal Data and Non-Personal Data.
Personal Data is personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, email address, birth date and gender. Personal Data is collected by us when you choose to provide it to us when registering for a 3Line Service, such as when you choose to subscribe to a 3Line Service, enter a 3Line promotion or choose to receive a 3Line newsletter. In addition, if you choose to contact any of our customer service representatives, we may keep a record of that correspondence so that we may fully address the subject matter. We may also receive Personal Data from our business partners and other third parties, provided that such third parties confirm to us that you have permitted them to share such information.
 
Business contact information such as the name, title, business address, email address or telephone number of a business or professional person or an employee of an organization is not considered Personal Data.
 
Non-Personal Data is information of an anonymous nature, the domain used to access a 3Line Service, and the type and version of browser or operating system being used. Aggregate information, such as demographic statistics of our users (e.g. average age or geographical allocation of our users), number of visitors and average time spent on a 3Line Service, is also considered Non-Personal Data.
 
Non-Personal Data is collected or derived by us in the course of operating the 3Line Services. For example, our Web servers may automatically collect Non-Personal Data which is provided through your browser or stored on a Cookie or through a Web Beacon when you choose to visit a 3Line Service. Non-Personal Data is used by 3Line as described here.
 
USE OF PERSONAL DATA
Personal Data may be used by us for the following purposes:
 
Providing you with the 3Line Services and information you have requested from us, including your use of the 3Line Site. We may from time to time use your Personal Data to contact you about changes, enhancements or similar notices related to the 3Line Services; 
 
If you indicated that you were interested in receiving offers or information from 3Line or certain of our selected sponsors or advertisers, 3Line or such sponsors or advertisers may send you email materials and other mailings about products and services that we feel may be of interest to you. If at any time you would like to end your subscription to any such email materials, follow the directions posted at the bottom of the email material;
 
If you enter a contest or other promotion offered on a 3Line Site, we may, under the rules of the promotion, use your name and certain other information to administer the promotion, such as contacting, announcing and promoting the winners of the promotion;
 
3Line may also use Personal Data if it has reasonable grounds to believe the information could be useful when investigating a contravention of any law or in order to protect or defend a legal interest.
 
DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL DATA
We will not sell or rent your Personal Data to anyone. We will only disclose your Personal Data to third parties:Where you have specifically given us your consent to disclose your Personal Data for a designated purpose;Who are acting on our behalf as our agents, suppliers or service providers, solely to enable us to more efficiently provide you with the 3Line Services.

LINKS TO OTHER SITES AND ADVERTISEMENTS
A 3Line Service may contain links to other websites and services. While we try to link only to sites and services that share our high standards and respect for privacy, please understand that we are not responsible for the content of, or the privacy practices employed by, other companies or websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to the 3Line Services referencing this Privacy Policy.
 

SECURITY
The security of your Personal Data is important to us. 3Line takes technical, contractual, administrative, and physical security steps to protect Personal Data that you provide to us. We instruct our employees with access to your Personal Data that it is to be used only in adherence with the principles set forth in this Privacy Policy and the laws applicable to each specific business.
In certain areas, such as when you provide credit card information to us, we work to help protect the security of your credit card information.
You can help protect the security of your Personal Data as well. For instance, never give out your password, since this is what is used to access your Account or Registration Information. Also remember to log out of your account and close your browser window when you finish using a 3Line Service or surfing the Web, so that other people using the same computer won't have access to your information.
