INFORMATION COLLECTED BY THIRD PARTIES
Heart Rate may use services that collect data remotely by using “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs,” or similar technologies. Such technologies can recognize certain types of information on your web browser, check whether you have viewed a particular web page or email message, and determine, among other things, the time and date on which you viewed them and the IP address of the computer from which you viewed them.
Heart Rate Services may be linked to or provided through third party websites. Heart Rate is not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices on such third party websites. When linking or accessing such websites, you should carefully review the privacy policy of such third party to determine how it handles information it separately collects from you.

Heart Rate uses the information it collects from you to deliver Heart Rate Services to you and continuously enhance your user experience. Generally speaking, we use the collected information to communicate with you, fulfill your requests, customize the content, improve our products and services, protect our and your rights, and comply with laws and regulations.
We may use your personal information to send you promotional information and updates regarding Heart Rate and its products and services.

While such information may be based on information about you, it will not identify you personally. We may use such information for the following purposes: website management, administration and security, promotional activities, and research and analysis.
WITH WHOM INFORMATION IS SHARED
Public Information
Heart Rate may share as it sees fit information that you voluntarily make public, including information that you post on any blogs, message boards, chat rooms or other similar forums, whether or not such forums are owned by Heart Rate. Since such public information can be accessed by the public and used by any member of the public, such use by third parties is beyond the control of Heart Rate.
Personal Information
Heart Rate is partners with Gusto Technologies, Inc. (the “Partners”). All personal information provided to with Heart Rate is subject to be shared with our Partners. Personal information accessed by the Partners will be subject to their Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
If we have your express consent, Heart Rate may share your personal information that it collects with business partners, and other third parties that are not affiliated with Heart Rate. Note that if you sign up for service from one of our affiliates, we may ask for your consent to share with such third party partner certain of your personal information. While Heart Rate is not responsible for the acts of such partners, we encourage all of our partners to adopt privacy policies that protect against the disclosure of personal information to third persons.
Heart Rate, Inc may disclose your personal information without asking for your consent in order to protect the legal rights of Heart Rate, Inc or its affiliates, and each of their respective investors, directors, officers, employees, agents, and suppliers; to protect the safety and security of users of the Heart Rate, Inc Services or to enforce our Terms of Use; to protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; or to comply with or respond to the law or legal process or a request for cooperation by a government entity, whether or not legally required. If you notify us that you believe your legal rights have been violated by Heart Rate, Inc or another user of the Heart Rate, Inc Services, we may provide the information that you provide to us to others to the extent that we believe it is necessary to evaluate and respond to your complaint. For instance, if you submit a notice of copyright infringement to us, we may send a copy to the person or entity who uploaded, stored, or transmitted the material addressed by the communication.
Also, in order to provide goods or services that you have requested or to complete a transaction at your request, Heart Rate may share your personal information with its third party service providers, including companies that assist with payment processing, business analytics, data processing, account management, and other services. We require these companies to agree that they will only use personal information about you that they have obtained from us to provide us with specific services that we have requested and not for any other purpose.
Non-Personal Information and Aggregate Data
Heart Rate, Inc may share with third parties your personal information and related aggregated data. For example, Heart Rate may share IP addresses of its users to provide anonymous aggregated data to business partners about the volume of use on the Heart Rate Services and the specific Heart Rate, Inc Services in which users are most interested. Because this form of data does not identify particular users, these third parties will not be able to contact you based solely on this data.
CHANGE OF CONTROL
If Heart Rate sells all or part of its business, or makes a sale or transfer of assets, or is otherwise involved in a merger or business transfer, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy, Heart Rate, Inc may transfer your personal information and non-personal information to one or more third parties as part of such transaction.
