3. Information from Use of Services

   We log usage data when you visit or otherwise use our Services, such as when you view or click on content (e.g., content provided by other others) or ads, or perform a search. We use log-ins, cookies, device information and internet protocol (“IP”) addresses to identify you and log your use.

   1. Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Similar Technologies

      When you visit Perlu.com, a cookie will be stored on your computer. Generally, cookies and similar work by assigning to your computer a unique number that has no meaning outside of Perlu. Perlu’s cookies do not contain any personally identifying information; Perlu uses them to personalize your experience. Perlu may also use cookies to assist it in delivering content specific to your interests. Additionally, after you’ve entered your member name and password during a session on the Services, Perlu saves that information so you don’t have to re-enter it repeatedly during that session. Most browsers automatically accept cookies. The only way to “opt out” of the collection of any information through cookies or other tracking technology is to actively manage the settings on your browser or mobile device. Please refer to your browser’s or mobile device’s technical information for instructions on how to delete and disable cookies, and other tracking/recording tools. If you have any questions about opting out of the collection of cookies and other tracking/recording tools, please contact us. Not accepting cookies may make certain features of Perlu.com unavailable to you. Perlu may also use your IP address to identify you, to administer Perlu.com and to assist in diagnosing problems with Perlu’s servers.

   2. Your Device and Location

      When you visit or leave Perlu.com, we receive the URL of both the site you came from and the one you go to next. We also get information about your IP address, proxy server, operating system, web browser and add-ons, device identifier and features, and/or ISP or your mobile carrier. If you use our Services from a mobile device, that device will send us data about your location. Most devices allow you to prevent location data from being sent to us and we honor your settings.

   3. Messages

      We collect information about you when you send, receive, or engage with messages in connection with our Services. For example, if you get a Perlu connection request, we track whether you have acted on it and will send you reminders. We also use automatic scanning technology on messages.

   4. We Are Improving Our Services, Which Means We Get New Data and Create New Ways To Use Data

Examples of such aggregated information or statistical data include information about content topics, demographic information, and usage of our Services. We may use, sell, license, and share this information with third parties for research, business or other purposes.

5. Service Providers

   We use others to help us provide our Services (e.g., maintenance, analysis, audit, payments, fraud detection, marketing and development). They will have access to your information as reasonably necessary to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated to not to disclose or use it for other purposes.

These service providers will only have access to the information necessary to perform these limited functions on our behalf and are required to protect and secure your information.

We attempt to notify Members about legal demands for their personal data when appropriate in our judgment, unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency.

9. Unforeseeable Disclosures

   Your personally identifiable information may be disclosed to third parties in unforeseeable situations that are not preventable even when commercially reasonable protections are employed, such as in the case that we are subject to a hacking or other attack.

How We Protect Information

We take several measures to safeguard the collection, transmission and storage of the data we collect. These steps depend on the sensitivity of the data that we collect, process, and store. Although we strive to employ reasonable protections for your information that are appropriate to its sensitivity, we do not guarantee or warrant the security of the information you share with us and we are not responsible for the theft, destruction, loss or inadvertent disclosure of your information or content. No system is 100% secure. The Services uses industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to allow for the encryption of personal information and credit card numbers. The Services are registered with site identification authorities so that your browser can confirm Perlu’s identity before any personally identifiable information is sent. In addition, Perlu’s secure servers protect this information using advanced firewall technology.

To help ensure that these measures are effective in preventing unauthorized access to your private information, you should be aware of the security features available to you through your browser. You should use a security-enabled browser to submit your credit card information and other personal information in connection with your use of the Services. Please note that if you do not use a SSL-capable browser, you are at risk for having data intercepted.

Most browsers can notify you if you change between secure and insecure communications, receive invalid services identification information for the services you are communicating with, or send information over an unsecured connection. We recommend that you enable these browser functions to help ensure that your communications are secure. You can also monitor the URL of the services you are visiting (secure URLs begin with https:// rather than http://), along with the security symbol of your browser to help identify when you are communicating with a secure server. You can also view the details of the security certificate of the services to which you are connected. Please check the validity of any services you connect to using secure communications.
