The Website is intended to be accessed and used only from the United States of America. If you are using the Website from outside the USA, please note that the Personal Information that you provide may be transferred to the USA and may be transferred to other countries that may not provide the same level of legal data protection as in the country from which you access the Website. By using the Website from outside the USA, and submitting Personal Information to us, you consent to, and authorize, any such transfers.

Your use of any Linked Website will be governed by terms of use, privacy policies and other additional terms, notices and policies set forth or referenced in any such Linked Website. To understand how a Linked Website and the owners or operators of a Linked Website will collect, use, store and otherwise make available your Personal Information, you should review the Linked Website's privacy policy; none of those activities is governed by this privacy policy, and JazMarkets shall not be responsible for the use of any Personal Information by or through any Linked Website.

Our Information Collection, Use and Disclosure Practices
a) Personal Information Provided Voluntarily by the User
You may be asked to provide Personal Information on different occasions when using various features of the Website. Although you may access and use portions of the Website without providing any Personal Information, in order to take advantage of the full capabilities of the Website and to obtain access to, and use of, many of the features of the Website, you may need to provide certain Personal Information. Certain functions available through the Website may require you to provide Personal Information about third parties. Do not provide any Personal Information about any third parties if you believe you are not authorized to do so. Please do not under any circumstances provide any Personal Information concerning children under the age of thirteen. We use Personal Information you provide to us for our business purposes, such as: (i) to allow you to compare prices for various service offerings and to request to switch service providers; (ii) to confirm your identity; (iii) to market our products and services to you and to customize advertising and marketing information; (iv) to contact you regarding your use of the Website and to keep records regarding your use of the Website; (v) to carry-out promotions and make special offers; (vi) to provide the services and products you request and to respond to your other requests and inquiries; and (vii) to enhance our service offerings. Except as specifically provided in the following paragraph, we will not sell or rent or otherwise share the Personal Information you provide to us with third parties. We may share Personal Information you provide to us with certain third parties that perform services on our behalf. Those third parties may host our websites, provide certain features or functions, print or send mailings or emails (including marketing materials), provide the services you request, provide customer service, analyze data, or otherwise assist us with the operation of the Website and related activities. Those third parties are not authorized to use or disclose Personal Information for any purpose other than to perform the services designated by JazMarkets. We may also share the Personal Information you provide to us to service providers with whom you request to enter into a service contract. Once Personal Information is provided to any service provider, the Personal Information will be subject to the data privacy practices of that service provider and, if retained by us, shall remain subject to this privacy policy as well. We may also provide the Personal Information you provide to us to a third party if we are required by law or governmental action so to disclose it or if disclosure becomes appropriate during the course of litigation. For example, we may be required to disclose Personal Information to respond to a subpoena, court order or other legal process. In some instances, protective orders may be sought or used to help preserve confidentiality of Personal Information, but the receipt and effectiveness of such an order cannot be guaranteed. Finally, the Personal Information you provide to us may be transferred as an asset in connection with a merger or sale involving all or part of JazMarkets or as part of a corporate reorganization, equity-interest sale or other change of control. If you provide Personal Information about any third party to us, including Personal Information regarding individuals other than yourself, you represent and warrant that: (i) you have the authority to provide that Personal Information and to grant JazMarkets the right to use it in a manner consistent with this privacy policy; (ii) you have provided that Personal Information voluntarily; and (iii) you consent to the use of that Personal Information in the manner envisioned by this privacy policy.
b) Other Information Collected and Information Collected from Other Sources
We may also obtain other information from you, such as information regarding your energy consumption and information related to particular products, services or offerings in which you express interest when you use the Website. We may obtain information about you from other sources, such as companies that update and verify email and physical addresses, for the purpose of updating and enhancing our files.
c) Automatically Collected Information
When you access or use the Website, we automatically collect and store the following types of non-personally identifiable information (information that is compiled in anonymous and aggregate form and is not used to locate, contact, or identify you specifically). Where available, in addition to the Personal Information you provide voluntarily: information from server logs found on your browser, information regarding the volume and status of data transmission, click-through statistics, your IP address, the type of application (e.g. web browser) you are using to access the Website, the type of operating system you are using, the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet, the date and time you access portions of the Website, and the Internet address of the site from which you linked directly to the Website. We will use the information we automatically collect through your access and use of the Website to help us determine how the Website is utilized and to help us improve the Website. For example, the information will allow us: (i) to determine which pages are the most popular with users, (ii) to determine if the Website is working properly, and (iii) to improve the user experience on the Website. We may aggregate and use certain non-personally identifiable information for research or marketing purposes and may share, sell and rent or trade that information and statistical data derived from that information with our advertisers, vendors, customers or other third parties for research or marketing purposes. We do not use automatically collected information to identify a particular user. Please note that that information is not Personal Information and is therefore not subject to the privacy restrictions of this privacy policy.
Cookies and Related Technology

Storing information about your visits to the Website will allow us to, on occasion, customize pages for you. In the event that, in order to use a feature of the Website, you are required to provide a password, we may use Cookies to save your password so that you do not have to provide it each time you use that feature.
