Last Updated: July 17, 2023

 

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) and Cookie Notice (“Notice”) govern how Ansira Partners, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Ansira,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) use Personal Data (defined below) that is collected, received, and stored about you in connection with your use of our website https://ansira.com/, and all related sub-domains, webpages, social media pages, Programs (as defined below), and the services and products controlled by Ansira and any other online or offline interaction with Ansira (collectively, the “Service”). By choosing to participate in one or more marketing programs administered by Ansira (“Programs”), you will have access to the Service that is operated by Ansira. The Service facilitates business-to-business transactions between you and Ansira as part of the Program.

Certain content/functionality of the Services may require that you provide Ansira with “Personal Data,“ which includes any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. We have adopted this Policy to explain what information may be collected, how we may use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third-parties.

Ansira takes your privacy seriously and handles all personal data as confidential. But you may choose whether or not to provide or disclose Personal Data in connection with your use of our Services. If you choose not to provide the Personal Data we request, you may still visit and use parts of our Services but may be unable to access or use certain features, options, programs, and services. Our Services may contain links to third-party websites and services that are not owned or controlled by Ansira. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of third-party websites, services, and advertisements, and you visit them at your own risk.

 

1. Introduction.

Ansira is a marketing agency that arms brands and their partners with solutions to design relevant, persuasive experiences for all moments that matter. We are committed to respecting privacy and recognize the need for appropriate protection and management of any Personal Data that is shared with us as part of using our Services. 

 

2. Changes to this Policy.

Ansira reserves the right, at our discretion, to change the terms of this Policy and Notice at any time. You can see when this Policy and Notice was last updated by reviewing the “Updated” legend on the top of this page. We may provide you with notice of material changes to the Policy and Notice as appropriate under the circumstances, but you should check our Services frequently to see the current Policy that is in effect and any changes that may have been made to it. UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED, ANY CHANGES TO THIS POLICY AND NOTICE WILL APPLY IMMEDIATELY UPON POSTING TO THE SERVICES, APPLICATION, AND/OR PLATFORM. 

 

3. Personal Data Collected.

 

3.1.  Types of Personal Data.  Ansira and our service providers collect the following Personal Data in order to provide the Services to you, enable your participation in our Programs, or because we are legally required to do so. Without this Personal Data we request, we may not be able to provide you with the Services, and you will need to find alternative method to complete your request to participate in the Program. The Personal Data we and/or our service providers may collect includes, but is not limited to:


3.2. When Personal Data is Collected. You may be required to provide us with certain information that may constitute Personal Data in the following ways:


3.3. Information Collected Automatically. Certain information on our Services is collected automatically by means of various software tools. We have a legitimate interest in using such information to assist in log-in, systems administration purposes, information security and abuse prevention, to track user trends, and to analyze the effectiveness of our Services and Programs. Alone or in combination with other information, such automatically collected information may constitute Personal Data. Some of our service providers may use cookies or other methods to gather information regarding your use of our Services. Such third-parties may use these cookies or other tracking methods for their own purposes by relating information about your use of our Services with any Personal Data about you that they may have. The use of such information by a third-party depends on the Policy of that third-party.

3.4. Log Files On Our Services. The information inside the log files includes internet protocol (“IP”) addresses, type of browser, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, clicked pages, and any other information your browser may send to us.

3.5. Cookies. Ansira uses cookies to make interactions with our Services easy and meaningful. When you visit our Services, our servers may send a cookie to your computer. Standing alone, cookies do not personally identify you; they merely recognize your web browser. Unless you choose to identify yourself to us, either by responding to a promotional offer, opening an account, or filling out a web form, for example, you remain anonymous to us. We may use cookies that are session-based and persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during one session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser software or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your browser or turn off your computer. Please note that if you disable your web browser’s ability to accept cookies, you will not be able to navigate our Services.

The following sets out how we may use different categories of cookies and your options for managing cookies’ settings:

Third-party websites hosted on Ansira’s Services make use of different third-party applications and services to enhance the experience of websites visitors.

7.1. If you have an account on our Services, we provide access to — and the ability to edit or delete — certain categories of Personal Data through the account. If you would like to access, amend, erase, export (i.e., data portability), or object to or restrict the processing of Personal Data collected via our Services, you may submit a request to legal@ansira.com or write to us at:

Ansira Partners, Inc.
2300 Locust Street
St. Louis, MO 63103
Attn: Legal Department Data Request

We will promptly review all such requests in accordance with applicable laws.

7.2. Depending on where you live, you may have a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority or other regulatory agency if you believe that we have violated any of the rights concerning Personal Data about you. We encourage you to first reach out to us at legal@ansira.com so we have an opportunity to address your concerns directly before you do so.

 

8. Personal Data Transferred from the European Union, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland To The United States.

 

Due to the global reach of Ansira’s services, Ansira sometimes collects, analyzes, reviews, and otherwise processes Personal Data that originates from the European Union, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland on behalf of its customers, website visitors, and other Program participants, as necessary. In turn, Ansira may transfer this data to its subsidiaries, affiliates, vendors, business partners, government agencies, and other third-parties to provide products and services, assist in providing products or services, or subject to a customer request. Ansira provides adequate protection for such Personal Data by means authorized by applicable laws, including but not limited to, by entering into the standard contractual clauses or model clauses approved from time to time by decision of the European Commission that meet the requirements for appropriate safeguards for international transfers of Personal Data under Article 46(2) of the General Data Protection Regulation from our clients upon request, and corresponding privacy laws of the United Kingdom and Switzerland. 

 

9. Data Security.

 

The security of Personal Data is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Data submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

 

 

10. Children’s Privacy.

 

Our Services are not intended for children under the age of eighteen (18). Accordingly, we do not intend to knowingly collect Personal Data from anyone under eighteen (18) years of age. If you are under eighteen (18) years old, please do not send any Personal Data about yourself to us through the Services or offline. If we determine that Personal Data belongs to an individual under the age of thirteen, we will immediately take action to delete the Personal Data.

 

11. Your Choice

 

Ansira does not track Services users over time and across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising. Accordingly, we do not currently respond or take any action with respect to web browser “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of Personal Data about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party web sites or online services. For email communications, you may choose not to receive future promotional or advertising emails from us by selecting an unsubscribe link at the bottom of each email that you receive from us. You cannot opt out of receiving transactional emails related to the performance of our Services. Please note that even if you opt out of receiving the foregoing emails, we may still send you a response to any “Contact” request as well as administrative, maintenance, and operational emails (for example, in connection with a password reset request).
