Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 1, 2022
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to allow you (the “User”) to understand how we (“The Purple Ruby”) collect and use the personal information you provide to us through the websites and online accounts that we own and operate (in each case, the “Services”) and all affiliated accounts. This Privacy Policy applies to information collected by The Purple Ruby and does not apply to information collected by any third-party sites to which The Purple Ruby may link or to information provided to, or collected by, third- parties through cookies, web beacons, or other third-party technologies served during your visit to the Services.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT
Personal Account Information: If you choose to sign-up for our subscription service, or engage in other transactions or activities (for example surveys), or sign up for other services, on our Services, you will likely be asked to provide certain basic information, such as your name and e-mail. You may also be asked to provide some information about your preferences or tastes. All of this information submitted by you will be subject to this Privacy Policy and is called “Personal Account Information.”
The Purple Ruby may use your Personal Account Information to provide products, services and information requested by you and to operate, maintain, customize and personalize your experience with the Services by The Purple Ruby products and services. We may also use Personal Account Information to contact you or send you notifications about products and services that you have ordered or that we otherwise think may be of interest to you.
The Purple Ruby may provide your Personal Account Information to third-party service providers that we engage to assist us with the operation of the Services and the provision of products and services. Such access is provided with the understanding that these parties will use the information for these limited purposes and in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Unless otherwise disclosed at the time of collection of information, The Purple Ruby does not share Personal Account Information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. The Purple Ruby may, however, provide general demographic, aggregated, or de-identified information about Users and customers and their preferences to advertisers and other existing or prospective business partners.
Technical Data: When a User visits the Services, we may collect information regarding the User’s browser type and Internet Protocol (“IP”) address and store such information through use of “cookies.” A cookie is a small file containing a string of alphanumeric characters that uniquely identifies your browser. The cookies enable The Purple Ruby to confirm that Users have visited previously, to keep track of the status of your shopping cart, and to perform other functions on the Services. You can set your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set. However, if you set your browser to disable all cookies, some features of the Services may not function properly.
Also, when you use the Services, our servers automatically record certain information that your web browser sends automatically whenever you visit the Services. These server logs may include information such as your web request, IP address, browser type, browser language, platform type, number of clicks, domain names, the amount of time spent on particular pages, and the date and time of your use of the Services.
Referral Information: We often invite Users to tell a friend about our products or services. In that event, we will ask you for your friend’s name and email address. We will automatically send your friend an email inviting them to subscribe to The Purple Ruby, and we will typically include a discount or other promotion to encourage your friend to become a User. This information may be used to track the success of our referral program. Your friend may contact us at Referral@ThePurpleRuby.com to request that we remove their information from our database.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT USE AND SHARING
In addition to the uses described above, The Purple Ruby may use the information it collects in any of the ways described below. The Purple Ruby reserves the right to share Personal Account Information if:
(a) We believe we are required to do so in accordance with a law or to respond to a subpoena or court order;
(b) We believe that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to enforce our Terms of Use and Sale;
(c) We believe that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to take precautions against liability;
(d) We believe that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations;
(e) We believe that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to assist government agencies;
(f) We believe that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the security or integrity of the Services;
(g) We believe that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, safety or property of The Purple Ruby, our Users or others; or
If we obtain technical data from our Users, we may use such information for the following purposes:
(a) To diagnose and prevent service or technology problems that are associated with the IP addresses;
(b) To help us provide you with customized content and promotions that match your stated preferences;
(c) To prepare geographical or other statistical data to help us better serve our Users;
(d) To create new features, promotions, and services in connection with the Services; and
(e) To monitor the use of the Services.
THIRD-PARTY ADVERTISING
The Purple Ruby permits third-party advertisers to provide advertisements to you through the Services. Although Personal Account Information may be used to send or display targeted advertisements, The Purple Ruby does not provide any Personal Account Information to advertisers other than in aggregated or de-identified fashion. Advertisers may also download cookies onto your computer, or use other technology like web beacons, to enable them to recognize your computer each time they send you an advertisement whether or not you are visiting the The Purple Ruby site or another site. As a result, the advertiser would have the ability to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe would be of most interest to you. The Purple Ruby does not have access to or control of the cookies that may be placed on your computer by third-party advertisers. We also use remarketing services to advertise our products to you on third party web sites after you have visited our Sites.
SECURITY
We take reasonable and appropriate measures to help keep information secure and to help prevent it from becoming disclosed. Even though we follow reasonable procedures to try to protect the information in our possession, no security system is perfect so we cannot guarantee, and you should not expect, that your information would be secure in all circumstances.
OTHER SITES
As noted above, this Privacy Policy only applies to our Services. Our Services may include links to other sites, but The Purple Ruby does not control the privacy practices of other sites. The Purple Ruby is not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites.
CHANGES TO THE POLICY
The Purple Ruby may change its Privacy Policy from time to time. Any updated policy will be posted on this page and the effective date of the updated policy will be indicated at the top of the page.

If you have any questions about our Privacy Policy, you can contact us by emailing us at Legal@thepurpleruby.com. If we need, or are required, to contact you concerning any event that involves your information, you agree that we may do so by email, telephone, or mail.
MISCELLANEOUS
Do Not Track Signals: Some web browsers and devices allow you to broadcast a preference that your activities online not be “tracked”. At this time, our Services do not take action in response to “do not track” signals.
