Use of Information
We collect user information to enhance your experience on our Website. We use aggregated (gathered up data across all user accounts) information to develop content targeted to users’ interests and to better the journeythroughsibo.com user experience.
We use data analytics collected by the systems described above to develop and provide content and advertising that is targeted to your interests. Such technology is used to determine which areas of journeythroughsibo.com you prefer based upon the frequency of your visits and engagement with those areas. We may make assumptions based on your browser provided data to target relevant content and advertising to you. We may also make geographic and demographic assumptions based on your presented IP address to target relevant content and advertising.
To enhance your experience, we may provide you with interactive communications or emails to the email address that you provide to us. Such communications are provided only to users who have expressly provided us with their permission to receive them.
We respect the privacy of our users and will not disclose or distribute our user list to any third party, nor permit anyone else to do so, without a user’s express permission. We may make available for rental our list of those users who have expressly provided us with their permission to receive third party offers as part of their user profile. In those cases, your email address will be transferred to the third party for one-time use.
Registered users may change the information stored in their member profile and may elect to stop receiving marketing material from Journey Through SIBO LLC or on behalf of external third-party business partners. You may also request to delete your personal account if you wish to do so. Please email us at the contact information included below.
Sharing of Information
When you are on an area of journeythroughsibo.com and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with us, as well as our business partners and vendors.
We use third parties to provide credit card processing, email service providers and hosting services on our site. When you sign up for such services, we will share your personally identifiable information (PII) as necessary for the third party to provide that service. These third parties are prohibited from using your PII for any other purpose. If you do not want your information to be shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer of your information by not using that particular service. In addition, if you provide any PII via an advertiser promotion, please be aware you are directly providing your PII to that advertiser.
From time to time we may provide you the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys on our site. If you participate, we will request certain PII from you, such as your name and email. Participation in these contests or surveys is completely voluntary, and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. We may use this PII to notify contest winners and award prizes.
We may also use a third-party service provider to conduct these surveys or contests; that company will be prohibited from using our users’ PII for any other purpose. We will not share the PII you provide through a contest or survey with other third parties unless we give you prior notice and an opportunity to opt out.
We may also have features that allow you to send an email to yourself and/or others about an item on our site. If you choose to use our email referral service, you will be required to provide the email address or addresses that will be used in the notification. Upon form submission, an email will be generated to your recipient(s) inviting them to visit the URL you have recommended. We may not store this information other than for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email.
Information Provided to Advertisers
Journey Through SIBO LLC derives revenue from advertising and sharing information is essential to keeping our services affordable to users. In order to attract and retain advertisers, we use the aggregated, anonymous information that we gather (as well as information from third-party market researchers) to describe our services to partners and to assist our advertisers and sponsors to better understand our audience. We only share PII with advertisers when users have expressly provided us with their permission to receive third party offers as part of their user profile.
As Necessary to Provide Services to You
We may occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of newsletter mailings including MailChimp, processing transactions including Stripe and Paypal, or performing statistical analysis of our services including Google Analytics. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service. In some instances these companies may collect information directly from you. In these cases, you will be notified of the involvement of the external service provider. In all cases, these companies are subject to agreements that require them to maintain the confidentiality of your information, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
