Disclosure & Policies

At The Six O’Clock Scramble, LLC (“The Scramble”), we are committed to protecting your online privacy. We appreciate your trust. We use the information that you have provided about yourself to increase our knowledge of how to improve the products we offer to our subscribers and followers. Please take a few minutes to review more details of our Privacy Policy. As we continuously improve and update our services, this policy may change. So please review it periodically.

What Information Is Collected?

You are free to explore the site without providing any information. If you should decide to receive free downloadable content or sign up for our email list we will collect your name and email address. If you should decide to purchase an ebook or meal plan we will collect your name and email address, as well as your credit card information solely for the purpose of purchasing the item (see below for more information on credit card information).

Use of Information

We use information we collect from you to gain more understanding of how people use our site. We do not sell the information or make your email addresses available to third parties (except for subsidiaries, subcontractors or agencies acting on our behalf in compliance with this Privacy Policy). If this policy should ever change in this regard, we will modify the policy and highlight the fact that there has been a change on the website.

Use of Personal Information

In addition to the uses identified elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, we may use your information to:

improve your browsing experience;
send information or Scramble content to you which we think may be of interest to you by email, or other means and send you marketing communications relating to our business;
promote use of our services to you and share promotional and information content with you in accordance with your communication preferences;
provide other companies with statistical information about our users — but this information will not be used to identify any individual user;
send information to you regarding changes to our Customer Terms of Service, Privacy Policy (including the Cookie Policy), or other legal agreements;
meet legal requirements.

We may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, we do not transfer your personal information to the third party.

Use of Credit Card Information

If you give us credit card information, we use it solely to collect payment from you. We use a third-party service provider to manage credit card processing. This service provider is not permitted to store, retain, or use information you provide except for the sole purpose of credit card processing on our behalf. Your credit card information is not retained in our records.

Reviewing, Correcting, and Removing Your Personal Information

In addition, you have the following data protection rights:

You can request access, correction, updates, or deletion of your personal information.
You can object to processing of your personal information, ask us to restrict processing of your personal information or request portability of your personal information.
If we have collected and processed your personal information with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information. Contact details for data protection authorities in the EEA, Switzerland, and certain non-European countries (including the US and Canada) are available here.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at team@thescramble.com. We will respond to your request to change, correct, or delete your information within a reasonable time frame and notify you of the action we have taken.

About Cookies

A “cookie” is a small piece of information that a Web site asks your browser to store on your hard drive. This information helps the Web site “recognize” you, instantly recalling the information you entered into the site. We only use cookies to remember information you gave us so you won’t have to reenter it each time you visit the site, to tell us whether you have visited the site previously, and to help us determine whether you came to the site from a particular Internet link. We do not track user or client identification to track cross device users. If you prefer, you can disable cookies on your browser settings. You may still use The Scramble website, even with cookies disabled.

Links

The Scramble wants you to be aware that when you click on links and/or banners that take you to third-party Web sites, you will be subject to the third parties’ privacy policies, not ours.

Therefore, we encourage you to read the posted privacy statement and user terms and conditions whenever interacting with, and prior to providing any personal information to, any other Web site.

We use industry-standard technology to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information, such as firewalls and secure socket layer encryption technology.

However, no transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Although we make diligent efforts to safeguard your personal information once we receive it, we cannot warrant the security of information you transmit to us.

A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache.

For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.

Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.
