Security Measures for Information Collected Through Our Site

To help protect the privacy of information collected through our Site, we employ security measures that are intended to be consistent with industry best practices. In addition, we take commercially reasonable steps to store such information with the objective of protecting such data against unauthorized access. Notwithstanding the foregoing, please be aware that our Site operates on software, hardware and networks, any component of which may, from time to time, experience breaches of security or other problems beyond our control and that may compromise the security of information collected about you.

Please also be aware that despite our best intentions and the guidelines outlined in this privacy policy, no data transmission over the Internet or via a Wi-Fi network, or any encryption method, can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You understand that it may be possible for third parties not under Branigan’s control to intercept or access your personal information transmitted through our Site or via email. Accordingly, although we undertake commercially reasonable steps to protect the security and integrity of all information you provide through our Site, due to the inherent nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that any such information will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others who do not have your authorization. Any such transmission of information about you to Branigan is at your own risk.

Sharing Information with Law Enforcement

1. Branigan is committed to cooperating with law enforcement while respecting each individual’s right to privacy. If Branigan receives a request for user account information from a government agency investigating criminal activity, we will review the request to be certain that it satisfies all legal requirements before releasing information to the requesting agency.

2. Furthermore, under 18 U.S.C. §§ 2702(b)(8) and 2702(c)(4) (Voluntary Disclosure Of Customer Communications or Records), Branigan may disclose user account information to law enforcement, without a subpoena, court order, or search warrant, in response to a valid emergency when we believe that doing so is necessary to prevent death or serious physical harm to someone. Branigan will not release more information than it prudently believes is necessary to prevent harm in an emergency situation.

Privacy Policies of any Linked Websites or Other Parties

This privacy policy only addresses Branigan’s practices for personal (and other) information that we may obtain about you through our Site. Please be aware that when you use or access any social networking platforms that are beyond our control, Branigan is not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties or the content of linked websites. We would expect most, if not all, of these third parties will collect information about you when you use their platform. However, Branigan is not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties, regardless of whether they are linked or otherwise connected to our Site. We encourage you to read the posted privacy policy and terms of use whenever interacting with any third-party website, app, or other offering.

Your California Privacy Rights

From time to time, we may share information collected about you with an affiliate and/or other third parties. Under California law, a California resident with whom we have an established relationship has the right to request certain information with respect to the types of personal information that we have shared with third parties for these purposes, and the identities of those third parties, within the immediately preceding calendar year, subject to certain exceptions. All requests for such information must be in writing and sent to us as indicated below.

International Privacy Policies

To provide our services to you, we may send and store your personal information outside of the country where you reside or are located, including to the United States.

By using and accessing our services, users who reside or are located in countries outside of the United States agree and consent to the transfer to and processing of personal information on servers located outside of the country where they reside, and assume the risk that the protection of such information may be different and may be less protective than those required under the laws of their residence or location.
