We may also record page views (hit counts) and other general statistical and tracking information, which will be aggregated with that of other users in order to understand how our Website and Services are being used, and for security and monitoring purposes. In order to determine whether your computer is supported by our system, we may collect additional technical information, including your operating system and browser, as well as the presence of any software that our Services or Website may require to operate with your computer, or other third-party software on your computer.

2. How We Use Information We Collect

If your relationship with Grow Up ends, we will continue to treat your personal information, to the extent we retain it, as described in this policy.

3. How We Share Information We Collect

We do not share personal data with third parties for their direct marketing or similar purposes without your consent. We also do not offer financial incentives, preferential service agreements, or any other differences in our prices or Services in exchange for your data.

The manner in which partners, service providers and others with whom we share and/or disclose your information is governed by the policies of such parties, and we shall have no liability or responsibility for the privacy practices or other actions of any such parties.

Generally, you can easily recognize when one of our partners is associated with a service. However, certain parties may provide services anonymously, and, in this case, we will only share information that is directly related to the applicable service(s). This may include the incorporation of your personal information into databases maintained to validate information for identity verification, including verification for anti-money laundering and “Know Your Customer” protocols.

The primary situations in which we may share your data are as follows:

• Potential Business Combination: We may transfer your personal information to a third party as a result of a business combination, merger, asset sale, reorganization or similar transaction or to governmental authorities when we reasonably believe it is required by law or appropriate to respond to legal process. We will also share your information with third-party companies, organizations or individuals if we have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of your information is reasonably necessary to detect or protect against fraud or security issues, enforce our terms of use, meet any enforceable government request, defend against legal claims or protect against harm of our legal rights or safety. In any such event, and to the extent legally permitted, we will notify you and, if there are material changes in relation to the processing of your Personal Information, give you an opportunity to consent to such changes. Any third party with whom we share your data with will be required to provide the same or equal protection of such data as stated in our policy.
• Service Providers: To operate the Services we may share information about you as needed with our service providers, including, but not limited to, accountants, auditors, lawyers, consultants, advisors and affiliates.
• Affiliates: We may share information with companies closely related to us, if any, – our “Affiliates” – for certain purposes under this policy. By "Affiliate," we mean an entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Grow Up, whether the control results from equity ownership, contract, overlapping management or otherwise. In this context, "control" means the ability to replace the officers or directors or otherwise materially influence or control management decisions. Our Affiliates will be entitled to enjoy our rights under this policy and we will be responsible for our Affiliate's conduct under this policy.
• Third-Party Sites: The Website may contain links to third party websites and may redirect you to third party websites. These sites include, among others, service providers who may or may not have a relationship with Grow Up. Third party websites are not under our control, and we are not responsible for any third party websites, or the accuracy, sufficiency, correctness, reliability, veracity, completeness, or timeliness of their information, links, changes or updates. The inclusion or access to these websites does not imply an endorsement by Grow Up, or of the provider of such content or services, or of any third party website. Please be aware that when you enter a third party website, any information you provide, including financial information, is subject to the terms of use and privacy policy of that website.

4. How We Safeguard Your Personal Information

Security Systems and Processes: We have put in place security systems designed to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information, and we take all reasonable steps to secure and safeguard this information, including:

• We use industry standard encryption technology for any information we store
• Grow Up employees are required to acknowledge that they understand and will abide by this policy with respect to the confidentiality of Personal Information
• Where applicable, companies that we do business with agree to apply similar safeguards to Personal Information
• We provide access to our databases containing Personal Information on a need-to know basis only
• We use automated tools to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload information, change information, or otherwise seek to "hack into" our systems.

Our security systems are therefore structured to deter and prevent hackers and others from accessing information you provide to us. Please understand, though, that this information should not be construed as a warranty that our security systems are fail proof. Due to the nature of Internet communications and evolving technologies, we cannot provide and we also disclaim assurance that the information you provide us will remain free from loss, misuse, or alteration by third parties who, despite our efforts, obtain unauthorized access.

• You give us consent to do so for a specific purpose; or we need to process your data to comply with a legal requirement. If you have consented to our use of information about you for a specific purpose, you may change your mind at any time, but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place. Where we are using your information because we have a legitimate interest to do so, you may object to that use though, in some cases, this may mean no longer using the Services. To do so, please email us at support@growup.com .
