This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes the manner in which TAFI (“TAFI”, “we,” or
“us”) and our website at www.maketafi.com (our “Site”), as well as all related
websites, networks, desktop or mobile clients and applications, and other services
provided by us and on which a link to this Policy is displayed (collectively, together
with the Site, our “Service”) collect, use, and disclose information about you. This
Policy is incorporated into and is subject to the TAFI End User License Agreement.
By using the Service, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your
information as described in this Policy.
User-provided Information:
When you use the Service, we may collect or you may provide information about
you and we may link this information with other information about you. You may
provide us with information in various ways on the Service. For example, you
provide us with information when you register for an account, use the Service, make
a purchase on the Service, or send us customer service-related requests.
Cookies and Automatically Collected Information:
When you use the Service, we may send one or more cookies – small text files
containing a string of alphanumeric characters – to your device. We may use both
session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears after you close
your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be
used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Service. Please review your web
browser “Help" file to learn the proper way to modify your cookie settings. Please
note that if you delete, or choose not to accept, cookies from the Service, you may
not be able to utilize the features of the Service to their fullest potential. We may
use third party cookies on our Service as well. For instance, we use Google Analytics
to collect and process certain analytics data. To learn more about how Google
Analytics uses your information and what choices you have, please visit
www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. TAFI does not process or respond to web
browsers’ “do not track” signals or other similar transmissions that indicate a
request to disable online tracking of users who use our Service.
We may also automatically record certain information from your device by using
various types of technology, including “clear gifs" or “web beacons.” This
automatically collected information may include your IP address or other device
address or ID, web browser and/or device type, the web pages or sites that you visit
just before or just after you use the Service, the pages or other content you view or
otherwise interact with on the Service, and the dates and times that you visit,
access, or use the Service. We also may use these technologies to collect
information regarding your interaction with email messages, such as whether you
opened, clicked on, or forwarded a message. This information is gathered from all
users, and may be connected with other information about you.
Payment Information:
If you choose to access or use parts of the Service that require payments or fees,
we may require you to provide financial information to us for the purpose of
processing those payments. We may provide your payment information to third
party payment processors who process transactions on our behalf. We may also
collect and retain information relating to the transactions you conduct.
Location Information:
We may use your IP address to obtain general information about the physical
location from which you are connecting to the Internet.
Third Party Web Beacons and Third Party Buttons:
We may display third-party content on the Service. Third-party content may use
cookies, web beacons, or other mechanisms for obtaining data in connection with
your viewing of the third party content on the Service. Additionally, we may
implement third party buttons (such as Facebook “like” or “share” buttons) that
may function as web beacons even when you do not interact with the button.
Information collected through third-party web beacons and buttons is collected
directly by these third parties, not by TAFI. Information collected by a third party in
this manner is subject to that third party’s own data collection, use, and disclosure
policies. Please note that privacy choices you have made with regards to the
Service will not carry over to third party sites or services (and vice-versa).
Information from Other Sources:
We may obtain information from third parties and sources other than the Service,
such as our partners, email platforms, and advertising platforms.
How We Use the Information We Collect:
We use information we collect on the Service (in both individual and aggregate
format) in a variety of ways in providing the Service and operating our business,
including the following:
We use the information that we collect on the Service to operate, maintain, enhance
and provide the Service, to provide services and information that you request, to
respond to comments and questions and otherwise to provide support to users, and
to process and deliver entries and rewards in connection with promotions that may
be offered from time to time on the Service.

the usage trends and preferences of our users, to improve the Service, and to

administrative purposes such as customer service or to send communications,
including required notices, marketing communications, or updates on promotions
and events relating to products and services offered by us and by third parties.
We may use information to:

information about you so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the
next time you visit the Service;
(ii) provide customized advertisements, offers,
content, and information;
(iii) monitor and analyze the effectiveness of the Service

When We Disclose Information. Except as described in this Policy, we will not
disclose information about you that we collect on the Service to third parties without
your consent. We may disclose information to third parties if you consent to us
doing so, as well as in the following circumstances:
We work with third party service providers who provide website, application
development, hosting, payment, maintenance, email, and other services for us.
These third parties may have access to or process information about you as part of
providing those services for us. We require our service providers to agree to
maintain the confidentiality of such information.
We may disclose information about you if required to do so by law or in the good-
faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal laws, in

faith, is appropriate or necessary to (i) take precautions against liability, (ii) protect
ourselves or others from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful uses or activity, (iii)

protect the security or integrity of the Service and any facilities or equipment used

property, or safety of others.
Information about our users may be disclosed and otherwise transferred to an
acquirer, successor, or assignee as part of any merger, acquisition, debt financing,
sale of assets, or similar transaction, or in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy,
or receivership in which information is transferred to one or more third parties as
one of our business assets.
We may make certain aggregate or otherwise non-personal or de-identified
information available to third parties for various purposes, including (i) compliance
with various reporting obligations; (ii) for business or marketing purposes; or (iii) to
assist such parties in understanding our users’ interests, habits, and usage patterns
for certain programs, content, services, advertisements, promotions, and/or
functionality available through the Service.
