2.Sites covered by this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy applies to the information collected at www.justknock.com.
3.Links to Third Party Websites. The Just Knock Website may provide links to third party websites for your convenience and information. If you access those links, you will leave the Just Knock Website. Just Knock does not control those sites or their privacy practices, which may differ from those of Just Knock. We do not endorse or make any representations about third-party websites. The personal data you choose to give to unrelated third parties is not covered by the Just Knock Privacy Policy.

4.Information We Collect. This Privacy Policy covers personal and non-personal information.
Personal information. Personal information is information that is associated with your name or personal identity. Just Knock uses personal information to understand better your needs and interests and to provide you with better service. Once you choose to provide us with personal information, you can be assured it will be used only to support your relationship with Just Knock. We take seriously the trust you place in us. Just Knock will not sell, rent or lease your personal information to others. The types of personal information you provide to us on these pages may include name, address, phone number, e-mail address, user IDs and passwords, billing and transaction information, credit card information, contact preferences, educational and employment background, and job interest data. We may ask for the user to provide demographic information (such as income level and gender), and unique identifiers (such as, username and password) so we can provide a more personalized experience on our site.
Non-personal information. Non-personal information is data about usage and service operation that is not associated with a specific personal identity. Just Knock collects and analyzes non-personal information to evaluate how visitors use the Just Knock Websites. Most non-personal data is collected via cookies, log files, clear gifs, and or other analysis technologies. Consequently, collected information is tied to the user’s personally identifiable information to provide offers and improve the content of the site for the user. This profile is used to tailor a user’s visit to our Website and to direct pertinent marketing promotions to them. We do not share non-personal information with third parties.
Cookies. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Just Knock does use cookies to personalize your online experience.
Log Files. We do have log files, but we do not currently use the log files. We may use the log files in the future as and when the need arises.
Clear Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs). We do not employ a software technology called clear gifs (web beacons/web bugs), that help us better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web users.
5 Do Not Track. Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference users can set if they do not want web services to collect information about their online activity. There is currently no universal standard for sending and receiving DNT signals. Due to lack of standards, we do not monitor or respond to DNT signals at this time. We do not allow third parties to collect your information while you are on our site.
5.Children’s Privacy. Just Knock does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13 and Just Knock does not target its website to children under 13. Just Knock is committed to protecting the privacy needs of children and we encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests.
6.How Just Knock uses your Information. Just Knock uses your personal information to provide you with services and to help us better understand your needs and interests.

Occasionally we may also use your information to contact you for market research regarding the Just Knock’s mission. In some instances, we will give you the opportunity to choose your privacy preferences regarding such communications; otherwise we handle your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. Personal data given to Just Knock may be transferred across state and country borders for the purposes of data consolidation, storage and simplified customer information management. Non-personal data is aggregated for reporting about Just Knock website usability, performance and effectiveness, and shall be used to improve the visitor experience, usability and site content.

However, these communications are not promotional in nature.
Surveys and Contests. From time-to-time our site may request information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site, Just Knock and its services. Users’ personally identifiable information is not shared with third parties unless we give prior notice and choice. Though we may use an intermediary to conduct these surveys or contests, they may not use users’ personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Visitor Service. We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account. We reply via email or phone, in accordance with the user’s wishes.

Credit card information and sensitive personal data are not used for any other purpose by Just Knock and will not be kept longer than necessary for providing the services, unless you ask us to retain your credit card information for future reference or purchases.
Information Collected from other Sources. Personal data collected online may also be combined with information you provide Just Knock through other sources such as product registration, call centers or public events such as trade shows or seminars.
Legal Disclaimer. Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on us.
