5. Control of Personal Information and Marketing Opt-Outs

14th is committed to providing individuals with access to their personal information. If a person believes that 14th may be processing information about them and wish to have access to that information, we can provide them with that information or at least an explanation of why we cannot do so in the particular context, such as when only our client or vendor has the right to provide such access, or if responding to the request would be unreasonably expensive. As described above, some personal information we may have belongs to third parties, and 14th does not have the right to provide anyone with access to that personal information, except as allowed by the third-party owner. Depending on the privacy policies of the third party that owns the personal information, a person may be able to review, modify, or request the removal of personal information by contacting that third party.

 

If a person sends us a request to review, modify, or remove their personal information, and that information is owned by a third party, we will let them know the appropriate third party to whom they should direct their inquiry. 

 

If a person sends 14th a written request to review their personal information, and that information is owned by 14th, we will generally make available the information we collect from them for their review, so long as they provide sufficient detail to allow us to identify the personal information being sought and provide sufficient information in order for us to verify their identity before providing them with their personal information. If a person sends us a request to remove their personal information, and that information is owned by us, we will remove their information from our database, after verifying their identity. 

 

Here are some other ways a person can control 14th’s use of their personal information:

  • Opt Out of Promotional Email Communications. A person may opt out of promotional emails, including newsletters, that they receive directly from us by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the email. Please note that we are unable to remove individuals from third party e-mail lists. If a person previously added their contact information to the mailing list of one of our clients or partners, including vendors who conduct surveys on our behalf, and later withdraw their permission, they will have to contact that third party (or use an opt-out link provided in an email communication from that third party) to request removal from their mailing list. 

  • Opt Out of Interest-Based Advertising. We may use third-party service providers, such as Google’s AdSense and AdWords, to help us provide advertisements that are tailored a person based on interests that they have expressed on our Site or elsewhere (“Interest-Based Ads”). Any advertisements served by these third-party service providers and their affiliated companies may be controlled using cookies. These cookies allow these providers to display ads based on a person’s visits to this Site. Any tracking done by these providers through cookies and other mechanisms is subject to their own privacy policies. Some browser settings allow individuals to limit or remove the Interest-Based Ads delivered to them. 

 

Please note that even if a person opts out of receiving marketing communications from us, we may still send them communications about their account or any products or services they have purchased from us, and we will still respond to their inquiries and requests for information.
