If you choose to use our Service, then you agree to the collection and use of information in relation with this policy. Please review this Privacy Policy carefully. This Privacy Policy supersedes any version published prior to the Effective Date. Each time that you access or interact with the Services you signify that you agree to our practices as set forth in this Privacy Policy. We may update the Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy to this page and we may, in our discretion, contact you through the Services or via any contact information on file. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not access, subscribe or otherwise use the Services. You are advised to consult this policy regularly for any changes.

The terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, which is accessible at https://imengagednowwhat.com/legal/, unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy.

What information do we collect?
You may provide Personal Information when you use the Services. “Personal Information” is information that identifies you as a specific individual, such as your name, email address, street address, and other contact information. You may also provide other information, such as demographic information (such as age or gender or income or other similar information) and information about your interests and preferences. If we combine these other types of information about you with Personal Information, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy.

  • Information You Choose to Provide.
    You may provide Personal Information when you subscribe to our emails, contact us through our contact form or email, or otherwise use or interact with the Services.
  • Information Automatically Collected Through Technology.
    When you use or interact with the Services, we collect certain information by automated means, using various tracking technologies, about how the Services are used. Information gathered may include your Internet service provider, browser type, operating system, the date and time of visits, pages viewed and time spent on our sites. In addition, information collection may include Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or other device (computer, mobile device, tablet or other device) identifiers in connection with your interaction with the Services. To the extent we combine this information with Personal Information, the combined information shall be treated as Personal Information. For more information on the technologies used to automatically collect information, please see Cookies and Other Technologies below.
  • Social Media Services.
    When you choose to register an account with I’m Engaged! Now What™ through a third party social media or social networking service or platform (including, but not limited to, Facebook and collectively, “Social Media Service”), we will use the information you have provided to the Social Media Service (such as your name, email address, gender and other information you make publicly available via the Social Media Service) to create your account. The information accessible to us through your Social Media Service is managed by you using the privacy settings of the Social Media Service. Other than what we may share with the Social Media Service as described below, the Personal Information a Social Media Service has about you is obtained by the Social Media Service independent of the Services, and I’m Engaged! Now What™ has no responsibility for it. By registering an account with I’m Engaged! Now What™ through a Social Media Service, you grant us permission to access all of the elements of your social media profile information that you have made available to be shared and to use it in accordance with the terms of use of the Social Media Service and this Privacy Policy.
    We may also permit additional interactions between the Services and a third party website, service or other content provider, such as enabling you to “like” or share content to a third party Social Media Service. If you choose to “like” or share content, or to otherwise share information from or via the Services with a third party website or service, that information may be publicly displayed, and the third party may have access to information about you and your use of the Services (and we may have access to information about you from that third party). If you post information on a Social Media Service that refers to the Services (such as by using a Twitter hashtag associated with the Services), we may publish your post in accordance with the privacy policy of the Social Media Service. In addition, we may receive information about you if other users of a third party website give us access to their profiles and you are one of their “connections” or information about you is otherwise accessible through your “connections” web page, profile page or similar page on a Social Media Service platform or other third party website or interactive service.Please note that your relationship with any Social Media Service is governed solely by your agreements with such Social Media Service. The information we collect in connection with Social Media Services is subject to this Privacy Policy. The information collected and stored by the third party remains subject to the third party’s privacy practices, including whether the third party continues to share information with us, the types of information shared and your choices with regard to what is visible to others on that third party website or service. If your Social Media Service account terminates, then functions enabled through the link between your I’m Engaged! Now What™ account and your Social Networking Service account may also terminate.
  • Third Party Information.
    From time to time, we may receive information about you from third parties. For example, we may supplement the information we collect with outside records from third parties for various purposes, such as to provide you with information or services or to enhance our ability to serve you or tailor our content to you. We may combine the information we receive from those other sources with information we collect through the Services. To the extent we combine such third party sourced information with Personal Information we have collected about you on the Services, we will apply this Privacy Policy to the combined information. Third parties may also provide information about you in connection with Social Media Services, as described above. We are not responsible for the accuracy of any information provided by third parties or third party policies or practices.

Now What? or a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we may consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, illegal, unethical or legally actionable activity.
  • With Other Third Parties at Your Request.
    You may be presented with opportunities to receive information or marketing offers from one or more third parties about their own products or services.
