5. How We Protect Your Personal Information

SAGO has implemented industry-standard measures to protect the security of the Personal Information We collect via the SAGO Platform. For example, We use (SSL – Secure Socket Layers), a firewall and a digital certificate issued by RapidSSL to protect certain of Your Personal Information. The financial partners We use to collect and process payment information are PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) certified. The data center(s) where We host our servers are also SOC (formerly SAS 70) certified.

Regardless of what measures are used to protect Personal Information, no one can guarantee, and We do not guarantee, that your Personal Information is completely secure at all times. If We determine that your Personal Information was accessed in an improper manner, We will comply with applicable laws as We understand them and will cooperate with internal investigators or law enforcement (including by possibly disclosing your Personal Information to such investigators or law enforcement agencies).

Please understand that you are also responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Personal Information to protect it against unauthorized access or use including, without limitation, by ensuring that any credentials that enable access to the SAGO Platform use strong passwords and are not shared with any third party. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SAGO disclaims any responsibility or liability for any misuse of your Personal Information that results from illegal, improper, malicious, or inappropriate acts or omissions of you or any third party, or from any conduct, other than willful conduct, of SAGO.

SAGO may retain your Personal Information for as long as you continue to use the SAGO Platform, and for as long thereafter as permitted or required by applicable law. If We delete your Personal Information, it may still be contained on backup media or other systems until such times as such media is destroyed or overwritten, or data on such other systems are otherwise deleted.

 

6. Your Rights

In accordance with the applicable law, SAGO will provide you with access to your Personal Information and, as appropriate, the right to intervene in respect of your Personal Information. You may also be entitled to request the deletion of your Personal Information, in which case, if SAGO, in its sole discretion, deems deletion of such Personal Information as mandatory or appropriate, SAGO may do so, provided, however that such deletion will mean that you may no longer be permitted to engage in certain activities, and may not have any further access to records of your use of the SAGO Platform. For the purpose of exercising your rights, you shall submit a written request to Us in accordance with the applicable law referencing your SAGO account, by mail at SAGO, LLC, 40 Deer Point Dr, Hawthorn Woods, IL,60047, or by email at legal@sago-app.com. In addition, if you believe that SAGO has not complied with this Privacy Policy with respect to your Personal Information, please submit a sufficiently detailed complaint to Us in any of the foregoing manners. We will promptly investigate your complaint. Thereafter, We will take all measures We deem necessary to remedy the issues outlined in your complaint that We, in Our sole discretion, view as justified. If SAGO deletes Personal Information, de-identified summaries, backup copies, and legal records may continue to contain portions of the Personal Information thereafter.

 

7. Your Choices

You can decide if You want to provide Your Personal Information to SAGO. If you do not understand and agree to this Privacy Policy DO NOT provide Personal Information to Us. Please note, however, that if you do not provide certain Personal Information, you may not be able to use the SAGO Platform, or access certain options at the Website. If You choose to receive communications regarding special offers, or any other information, We may add your Personal Information to Our email database and use (or direct Our designees to use) your Personal Information for providing such communications to you. You may later choose to unsubscribe from receiving such communications by following the unsubscribe directions in Our communications. If you provide SAGO with inconsistent privacy preferences (for example, by indicating on one occasion that We may provide you with marketing offers and on another occasion that We may not), SAGO will endeavor to update your privacy preferences in SAGO’s records with your latest preference in a timely manner. But We cannot guarantee how quickly such changes will take effect.
