In an effort to improve the quality of the Service, we track information provided to us by your browser or by our software application when you view or use the Services, such as the website you came from (known as the “referring URL”), the type of browser you use, the device from which you connected to the Services, the time and date of access, and other information that does not personally identify you. We track this information using cookies, or small text files which include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to a user’s browser from our servers and are stored on the user’s computer hard drive.

1.             HOW WE USE AND SHARE INFORMATION

Personal Information:

Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not sell, trade, rent or otherwise share for marketing purposes your Personal Information with third parties without your consent. We do share Personal Information with vendors who are performing services for the Company, such as the servers for our email communications who are provided access to user’s email address for purposes of sending emails from us. Those vendors use your Personal Information only at our direction and in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

 

In general, the Personal Information you provide to us is used to help us communicate with you — for example, we use Personal Information to contact users in response to questions, solicit feedback from users, provide technical support. Personal Information also is used directly to help to provide the Services – for example, to provide individual athletes with insights on universities/colleges/other educational institutions, and to provide universities/colleges/other institutions with information of specific individuals and such individuals’ potential institutional preferences.

 

We may share Personal Information with outside parties if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to meet any applicable legal process or enforceable governmental request; to enforce applicable Terms of Use, including investigation of potential violations; address fraud, security or technical concerns; or to protect against harm to the rights, property, or safety of our users or the public as required or permitted by law.

 

In the event we undergo a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your Personal Information may be among the assets transferred. You acknowledge and consent that such transfers may occur and are permitted by this Privacy Policy, and that any acquirer of our assets may continue to process your Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. If our information practices change at any time in the future, we will post the policy changes to the Site so that you may opt out of the new information practices. We suggest that you check the Site periodically if you are concerned about how your information is used.

 

Non-Personal Information:

In general, we use Non-Personal Information to help us improve the Service and customize the user experience. We also aggregate Non-Personal Information in order to track trends and analyze use patterns on the Site. This Privacy Policy does not limit in any way our use or disclosure of Non-Personal Information and we reserve the right to use and disclose such Non-Personal Information to our partners, advertisers and other third parties at our discretion.

 

III.           HOW WE PROTECT AND STORE INFORMATION

We implement security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access. Your account is protected by your account password and we urge you to take steps to keep your personal information safe by not disclosing your password and by logging out of your account after each use. We further protect your information from potential security breaches by implementing certain technological security measures including encryption, firewalls and secure socket layer technology. However, these measures do not guarantee that your information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of such firewalls and secure server software. By using our Service, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to assume these risks.

We retain information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which you provided the information, to comply with legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to enforce agreements, and similar essential purposes.

You can also indicate that you do not wish to receive marketing communications from us in the Settings section of the Site. Please note that notwithstanding the promotional preferences you indicate by either unsubscribing or opting out in the Settings section of the Site, we may continue to send you administrative emails including, for example, periodic updates to our Privacy Policy.

1. ADDITIONAL DATA PRIVACY RIGHTS

• For Consumers in California (and Certain Additional States): California law, and the law in certain additional states, may give you certain rights, including some or all of the following: a right to be notified of (and to request more information about) our data collection practices; the categories of data we process; the categories of third parties with whom data is shared; the right to request disclosure (up to a certain limited number of times per year) of the personal information we have about you or have had within the last 12 months; the right to delete that information (under certain circumstances); the right to know if your data is being sold; the right to know what personal information is being sold and to opt-out of such sales (if applicable); the right to receive a copy of your information in a “portable” form so that you may transfer it to other services; and, the right to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. The following information provides details on how we honor those rights, as they may be applicable, and the process for exercising them.
• For All Customers: Regardless of your location and jurisdiction, we intend to comply with the requirements of applicable law, and we may in our sole discretion choose to extend any applicable rights to all individuals, and to comply with reasonable requests in the manner detailed below. We do not charge for these services. Where you are entitled to exercise a right, we will respond to your request within the timeframe set out by applicable law (typically up to forty-five (45) days). Where we provide answers on a voluntary basis, we will provide a response within a reasonable timeframe.
• Access, Correction, Portability, and Deletion: You may have the right to access, correct (“rectify”), or delete (“erase”) your personal information held by us (“be forgotten”), or may ask for a restriction of processing. You may also have the right to ask for an overview or copy of your personal information or to request that certain of your personal information be exported in a format so that you may take your data to another provider where technically feasible (“data portability”).

You may be able to exercise your rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information by making the change directly on your account page. You may also make these requests by sending an email to [email protected] or by sending your request by postal mail to the address below.

Please note that there are some limitations to any rights you may have. For example, we will not be able to delete your personal information if we are required by law to keep it or if we hold it in connection with a contract with you. Similarly, access to your personal information may be refused if making the information available would reveal personal information about another person or if we are legally prevented from disclosing such information. If we cannot fulfill your request, we will inform you about why we cannot comply with your request.

• Exercising Your Rights: To exercise the access, correction, portability, deletion, or opt-out rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:
  • Online: www.aithelite.com
  • Emailing: [email protected]
  • Mailing: 122 Meyran Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15213

Only you or a person legally authorized to act on your behalf may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. Unless otherwise authorized by law, you may make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.

The verifiable consumer request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us reasonably to verify you are the person or a legally authorized representative of the person on whom we collected personal information
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the personal information relates to you.

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of receipt (or other time period as specified by applicable law). If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period. Any disclosures we provide will cover the 12-month period (or other time period as specified by applicable law) preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily usable. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unwarranted.

• Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights. Unless permitted by applicable law, we will not deny you goods or services; charge you different prices or rates for goods or services; provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
