Our Privacy Commitment
BoxCo Interactive Inc. doing business as Growl ("Growl," "we," "us," or "our"), is committed to respecting the privacy rights and concerns of all users of BoxCo's website where this Privacy Policy is posted (the "Site") and the services made available by BoxCo (collectively with the Site, the "Service"). As such, we have established and implemented this Privacy Policy to inform visitors to the Site and users of the Service how we use and protect the information we collect through the Service. By accessing the Site or using the Service, you consent to BoxCo's collection, use, storage, deletion, and disclosure of information relating to you as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy is effective as of the date set forth above and is only applicable to the Service and not to any other website that you may be able to access from the Service, which may have its own data collection and use practices and policies.
Personal information means information that can be used to identify and contact you. You do not need to submit personal information to access the Service generally. However, we may collect personal information if you choose to provide it through our contact forms, newsletter sign-ups, or other interactions with the Site. We may also collect non-personal information such as when you accessed the Service and from what location you access the Service. This information may be aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent, page views, locations the Services are most frequently used, and other statistics about users of the Service. We also may use this data to monitor the Service's performance and to make the Service easier and more convenient to use.
We collect personal information when you fill out forms, sign up for our newsletter, receive customer or technical support, or participate in components of the Service through which users may post content.
To sign up for our newsletter or other communications, we may require you to provide certain information, including your name and email address. Additionally, you may provide information beyond what is required, such as your zip code, your phone number, at your option.
By submitting personal information through the Service, you authorize BoxCo to share this personal information for the purposes identified herein, such as responding to user inquiries, processing transactions, distributing materials, requesting feedback, and for sales and marketing purposes.
The personal information you provide to us will allow us to communicate with you and provide the Service to you, depending on the aspects of the Service for which you register. This includes handling your customer service questions or issues, alerting you of new products, services, features, or enhancements to the Service, administering contests, promotions, or surveys, and requesting feedback. We may also use your email address as part of the Service in sending you messages about the Service and other general announcements. We keep track of your interactions with us. Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy, or unless we have your consent, we will not share your personal information with any person or entity other than those affiliated with us, entities acting on our behalf, and relevant third parties such as those needed to collect and maintain our servers, perform technology and related services, and conduct sales and marketing activities.
We may use your personal information with non-personal information that we have collected in a manner such that the end-product does not personally identify you or any other user of the Service. We may make your personal information non-personally identifiable by either combining it with information about other users (aggregating your personal information with information about other users), or by removing characteristics (such as your name or email address) that make the information personally identifiable. This process is known as de-personalizing your information. You grant us a royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully transferable right and license to use your personal information in connection with the creation and development of analytical and statistical analysis tools relating to the use of the customer data we collect in providing the Service (the "Analytical Data"). We are expressly authorized to make any commercial use of the Analytical Data, including, without limitation, sharing the Analytical Data with third parties, provided that we do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer from us any part of the Analytical Data that personally identifies any Service users.
BoxCo's practices in responding to "do not track" signals and collecting user information over time and across a network of websites when you visit the Site are as follows: We honor the request of "do not track" signals sent by your browser when you visit the Site. Additionally, BoxCo may collect user information about your online activities over time and across different websites, or authorize third parties to do so.
BoxCo uses third-party service providers such as Google Analytics to help us learn about who visits the Site and what pages are being viewed.
"Cookies" are small bits of electronic information that a website sends to a visitor's browser and are stored on the visitor's hard drive. Like many websites, we employ cookies in certain areas of the Site to allow us to provide information to make your online experience more convenient. For example, when you return to the Site, cookies provide information to the Site so that the Site will remember who you are on subsequent visits, speeding up or enhancing your experience of the Service by, for instance, tailoring content to you. While BoxCo may use cookies to track your visit to the Site, this information does not identify you personally and you remain anonymous, even if you have previously submitted personal information to BoxCo through the Site or otherwise.
Third parties whose websites are accessible through links on the Site may also use their own cookies when you link to their site or service. BoxCo does not control these third parties' use of cookies and cannot guarantee that they will uphold the same privacy standards as BoxCo. BoxCo expressly disclaims any and all liability related to the collection, use, or disclosure of information by third parties. You should review the privacy policies of any third-party sites that you visit through a link from the Site to understand how these third parties use cookies and the information they collect through cookies. Most cookies are "session cookies" which means that they are automatically deleted at the end of each session. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you a chance to decide whether or not to accept it. The Site is still accessible if cookies are disabled.
We use your personal information to provide the Service to you, deliver products and services you request, complete transactions, handle your customer service questions or issues, request feedback, and send communications to you about promotions, updates, or special offers from BoxCo that may be of interest to you. The personal information uploaded by you through the Service will be shared only with authorized persons to whom you specifically grant access or direct us to share with. We may also use your depersonalized personal information to provide analyses of our users in the aggregate (including Analytical Data subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy) to prospective partners and other third parties.

Additionally, we may partner with other companies to process, analyze, and/or store data, including, but not limited to, Analytical Data. While providing services for us, these companies may access your personal information. To the extent applicable, we require these parties to comply with this Privacy Policy and appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
Protection of Rights. We will share personal information if we have a good faith belief that (i) access, use, preservation, or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, such as a court order or subpoena, or a request by law enforcement or governmental authorities, (ii) such action is appropriate to enforce our Terms of Use for the Service, including any investigation of potential violations thereof, (iii) such action is necessary to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues associated with the Service, or (iv) such action is appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of BoxCo, its employees, users of the Service, or others.

We may share your personal information with third-party service providers and partners, such as advertising networks and social media platforms, for sales and marketing purposes, including but not limited to, targeted advertising, marketing communications, and promotional activities.
The Service may contain direct links to websites operated by our partners and other entities. These third-party websites may collect information about you when you visit them or otherwise communicate with them. This Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices of third-party websites linked to the Site or accessible through the Service. Although we encourage such third parties to adopt and follow their own privacy policies, we are not responsible for their collection and use of your personal information. You should refer to the privacy policies and statements of other websites or contact the respective webmasters of those websites to obtain information regarding their information collection, use, and disclosure policies.
You may update or delete your personal information or modify your preferences for the Service by contacting us at privacy@joingrowl.com.

Please note that you cannot unsubscribe from certain correspondence from us, including messages relating directly to your interactions with the Service.
You agree that, in the event any dispute or claim arises out of or relating to this Privacy Policy, you and BoxCo will attempt in good faith to negotiate a written resolution of the matter directly between the parties. You agree that if the matter remains unresolved for forty-five (45) days after notification (via certified mail or personal delivery) that a dispute exists, all parties shall join in mediation services in Delaware with a mutually agreed mediator in an attempt to resolve the dispute. Should you file any arbitration claims or any administrative or legal actions without first having attempted to resolve the matter by mediation, then you agree that you will not be entitled to recover attorneys' fees, even if you would otherwise be entitled to them.
The personal information that you provide to us is stored on third-party servers which, to our knowledge, are located in secured facilities with restricted access and are protected by protocols and procedures designed to ensure the security of such information. We restrict access to personal information to BoxCo employees, independent contractors, and agents who need to know this information in order to develop, operate, and maintain the Service. All BoxCo personnel who have access to this information are trained in the maintenance and security of such information. Access to such personal information is minimized whenever possible. However, no server, computer or communications network or system, or data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect user information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or through the use of the Service, and you acknowledge and agree that you provide such information and engage in such transmissions at your own risk. Once we receive a transmission from you, we will endeavor to maintain its security on our systems.
In the event that personal information you provide to us is compromised as a result of a breach of security, when appropriate, we will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation, notify you, and take the necessary steps to comply with any applicable laws and regulations.
