Privacy Policy

The following privacy policy covers all of the websites of Reticent MFG and its subsidiaries and affiliates websites, the Mobile Services (as defined below) or desktop application services, software, or other materials or services made available on, from, or through the websites (collectively, the “Website(s)”). This policy does not, however, apply to entities that Reticent MFG does not own or control, such as applications and websites using Facebook Platform. Please read this policy. If you have any questions or suggestions regarding our privacy policy, please contact us.

By using the Website(s) you understand and agree that Reticent MFG is providing a platform for you to post content, including photos, comments and other materials (“User Submissions”) to the Website(s) and to share User Submissions publicly. This means that other users may search for, see, use, or share any of your User Submissions that you make publicly available through the Website(s), consistent with the terms and conditions of this privacy policy and Reticent MFG’s Terms of Use.

COLLECTION AND USE OF AGGREGATED INFORMATION

Reticent MFG creates aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns. These aggregated statistics are used internally to better provide services to users of the Website(s) and may also be provided to advertisers, sponsors, and partners but they contain no individual personal information and cannot be used to gather such information. This allows Reticent MFG’s advertisers, partners, and sponsors to advertise more effectively, and allows our users to receive advertisements that are pertinent to their needs.

Reticent MFG may share User Submissions and your information (including but not limited to, information from cookies, log files, device identifiers, location data, and usage data) with businesses that are legally part of the same group of companies that Reticent MFG is part of, or that become part of that group (“Affiliates”).
