What this Privacy Policy Covers

This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) covers the OurFamilyWizard, LLC. (“OurFamilyWizard” “we” “us” or “our”) treatment of the personally identifiable information OurFamilyWizard collects from users (“you” or “yours”) when you use OurFamilyWizard. This policy also explains

  • the information we collect about you;
  • how that information may be used;
  • with whom the information may be shared;
  • how you may update the information you provide us;
  • how you may contact us; and
  • your choices about the information.

By using OurFamilyWizard, including but not limited to, https://www.ourfamilywizard.com/ (“Websites”), by using any of our computer or phone applications, including but not limited to iOS and Android mobile software applications, calling customer service, engaging with us on social media, interacting with us in any way, or utilizing any of our services (together with the Websites, the “Services”), you consent to be bound by this Privacy Policy in respect of the information collected about you via the Services.

This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that OurFamilyWizard does not own or control, or to people that OurFamilyWizard does not employ or manage.


Information Collection and Use

This Privacy Policy primarily concerns Personal Information, which deals with individuals, rather than organizations or businesses. “Personal Information” uniquely identifies an individual or can identify an individual by combining it with other data. It includes email addresses, phone numbers and other information associated with the individual. The legal name and definition of personal information differs from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. OurFamilyWizard will not use or share Personal Information other than as described in this Privacy Policy.

The Services collect Personal Information in a variety of ways, including but not limited to when you register for an OurFamilyWizard account, when you use certain OurFamilyWizard products or services, when you visit OurFamilyWizard website pages, and when you enter promotions or sweepstakes or when otherwise using the Services.

Personal Information collected by us may include your name, e-mail address, postal address, birthdate, doctors, emergency contacts, certain health information,  general usage metrics of the Services, your financial payment information, your profile, email communication history with OurFamilyWizard, anything you submit to or post on the Websites, and other information associated with you or your organization, as well as other information that may or may not specifically identify you.  While the information within these classifications may be required for the use of specific Services or features of the Websites, you are not required to use all of the Services and features. The information collected through the Services may be stored at servers, computers, or other media located in the United States.

We may obtain information about you from third-party sources, such as Google, Apple, or other users, when applicable.  This information may be utilized, analyzed, and/or compared with information that OurFamilyWizard has collected from you or that you have submitted to the Services. If OurFamilyWizard obtains information from third-party sources, you agree that your sole legal remedy for any harm associated with that information is against the third-party that provided the information to us, and that you will not assert any cause of action, claim or demand against us other than requesting we delete any erroneous information.

For the avoidance of doubt, OurFamilyWizard shall be entitled to collect anonymous and/or aggregated data across its various products and services provided that no individual natural person can be identified from such data (“Aggregate Data”). The Aggregate Data will be used for various purposes, including without limitation to analyze behavior, trends, and website interaction, and to improve and enhance our services and for other development, creation of new features, diagnostic and corrective purposes in connection with our services.  OurFamilyWizard shall own all right, title and interest in and to the Aggregate Data and this is not considered personal data.


INFORMATION COLLECTION TECHNOLOGY

For each visitor to our Websites, we may use various technologies, including “cookies” to automatically gather certain information pursuant to your use of the Websites, from your electronic device about your activities using the Websites. We may collect and store non-personally identifying information through cookies, and third-parties to profile user activity and preferences.  Technical and specification information about your device and settings may be collected when you use the Websites. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, the content of previously accepted “cookies” from us, and clickstream data. We collect and store this information on an individual basis and in combined form. We also collect both user-specific and aggregate information on what pages visitors access or visit.

A cookie is data stored on your device that tracks non-personal information about you.  When using the Websites, we may assign your device one or more cookies that enable us to improve the quality of the Websites and to personalize your experience. Cookies allow us to automatically collect information about your activity on the Websites, such as the content you access while using the Websites, the links you click, and other activity you conduct while using the Websites.  You may choose to modify your device setting to disable cookies or limit their use.  If you choose to disable or limit cookies, or otherwise limit your device permissions to the Websites, you may experience diminished performance from the Websites and/or may be prevented from using some or all features of the Websites. Our cookies generally fall into one of four categories:  Essential, Functional, Analytics and Target. Additional information about our cookies policy can be found here: https://www.ourfamilywizard.com/cookies.

Other companies may also set and access cookies on your computer, for example, advertisers on the Services or providers of external services such as website traffic analysis services.  We have no control over these third parties and their use of cookies is subject to their own privacy and cookie policies, not this one.  They do not have access to the data collected through the cookies we set. OurFamilyWizard uses information to customize the content you see, to fulfill your requests for certain products and services, to provide electronic notification services for events in your calendar and to provide billing information.

Our Services may contain web beacons (also known as “clear gifs”) or similar technologies that gather non-personally identifiable information about your use of our Services.  Such technology may also be contained in e-mail messages or newsletters from us that allow us to determine whether messages have been accessed.  The purpose of our use of this technology is so that we may analyze the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and the quality of our Services.

Your Ability to Edit Your Account Information and Preferences

OurFamilyWizard gives you the ability to edit your OurFamilyWizard account information and preferences at any time, including whether you want OurFamilyWizard to contact you about special promotions and new products.

You may contact OurFamilyWizard to review, update and correct your Personal Information.

If you do not wish to receive promotional emails or other marketing communications from us, please let us know by using the opt-out response device that can be found at the bottom of every email we deliver or by contacting us as provided below. At places on our Websites where you give us your personal information, you may opt out of receiving those communications. Although you can opt not to receive promotional messages, we reserve the right to send you informational email messages about any user account you establish on our Websites, or notices regarding the Websites, as permitted.

To help us process your request, please include sufficient information for us to identify you in our records. We may need to verify your identity before providing you with Personal Information or updating it in our system. 


Location

OurFamilyWizard provides you with the ability to attach geographical identification tags (longitude/latitude) to entries.  This functionality is called geotagging.  Geotagging makes user content more organized and searchable.  Geotagged entries are created at the users discretion and geotags are ONLY generated when a user affirmatively adds them to an entry.  If you do not want to use our geotagging features, you may simply opt not to use them or turn off the location services located in your browser preferences or in your device settings.


Security

Your OurFamilyWizard Account Information is password protected for your privacy and security. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, and to protect against loss, misuse or alteration of your information.

Because of the sensitivity of information stored on OurFamilyWizard, OurFamilyWizard uses not only industry standard SSL encryption to protect data transmissions, but also uses Transparent Data Encryption and Redaction to protect data during storage and access inside of our database.

Please note, that while we use commercially-reasonable methods to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Therefore, although we take reasonable steps to secure your information, we cannot and do not promise or warrant that your information will always remain secure.


EXTERNAL LINKS AND THIRD-PARTY PRIVACY PRACTICES

OurFamilyWizard cannot guarantee or verify the contents of any externally linked website. You should therefore note you click on external links at your own risk and OurFamilyWizard cannot be held liable for any damages or implications caused by visiting any external links. This Privacy Policy does not cover any third party’s use or handling of your information once it is shared.  Instead, the privacy policy of the third-party will govern. We encourage you to visit the websites of those third-parties and fully read and understand their privacy policies.  Some of these entities will have different privacy terms than we do and their servers may be located outside the United States.

The Services may link to other websites or through advertisements. We disclaim any and all responsibility for the privacy practices of third-parties that may have links to or from our Services.  We encourage you to review the privacy policies and privacy statements of every website that you visit that collects personally identifiable information.

Please note that while we strive to protect your privacy and security, the use of external services and third-party providers introduces unique considerations. When you utilize features such as voice and video communication and recordings, you may be directed to services provided by Twilio, which is an independent third-party. We encourage you to review Twilio's privacy policy and terms of service to fully understand their practices and how they handle your data.
