This Privacy Policy may be available on this website in other languages in order to make it simpler to read for our visitors. If at any time, there appears to be a discrepancy between the translated Privacy Policy and the English, the English meaning will always take presedence.
12040867 Canada Inc. DBA (“Rhinoir.com” or “we”) adopted this Privacy Policy to reflect our commitment to protecting your privacy. We take the collection of personal information from our Users seriously and are committed to protecting each User’s privacy in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In this Privacy Policy, we use the term “User” to include any individual who accesses and uses any of the Services.
This Privacy Policy applies to (a) our websites, digital applications, and online services, including Inc.com and Rhinoir.com (the “Websites“); (b) live events and conferences, (c) awards programs, and (d) surveys, contests and sweepstakes (together, the “Services“).
If a particular Service refers or links to a different privacy policy, then that privacy policy — not this Privacy Policy — applies.
Our agreements with certain business customers may contain provisions about the collection, use, storage and disposal of information collected through the Services and offline. If a provision of a customer agreement conflicts or otherwise is inconsistent with a provision of this Privacy Policy, then the provision of the customer agreement will prevail but solely to the extent of the conflict or inconsistency. Please contact privacy@rhinoir.com with questions.

Rhinoir may supplement the information you provide to us with information from other sources. All of this information is treated as personal information when it directly or indirectly identifies an individual User.
For the convenience of our Users, we may provide the opportunity to purchase certain goods, merchandise and services through the Services. Companies other than Rhinoir may handle some of these transactions. We call the companies that conduct our e-commerce operations, order fulfillment and/or contract services our “operational providers.” If you choose to use these Services, our operational providers will request information to fulfill your order or request. The voluntary submission of your personal information to these operational providers, including your order or request, is governed by the specific operational provider’s privacy and other terms. To facilitate an order or request, we may share information with the operational provider. The operational provider also may share your information with us. We will store this information in our User database.
In most instances, we request that our operational providers adhere to the provisions in this Privacy Policy and only share Users’ personal information with us, unless necessary to complete a User’s request or order. We also request that these providers only use the personal information for the purpose of conducting the sale or fulfilling the requested service or order. However, you must read an operational provider’s privacy policy to determine the extent of use and disclosure of your personal information collected by them. Rhinoir , its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries are not responsible for the collection, use and disclosure practices of operational providers, nor is Rhinoir responsible or liable for the products or services provided by operational providers.
We use third-party operational providers to help us operate and improve the Services.

All of our service providers must adhere to confidentiality obligations that are consistent with this Privacy Policy.
We also provide co-branded services or promotions with certain sponsors or other business partners. As a part of these services or promotions, we may request the submission of your personal information for participation and/or registration. We share this information with the sponsor or partner participating in the service or promotion.
If the sponsor or partner collects your personal information, they may also share your information with us.

Our Websites use cookies and other tracking tools. A cookie is a small data file that contains a unique identification number that a website places on your hard drive when you visit a site. The cookie stores information about your computer, the type of browser you use, and how many times your computer visits a certain site. Cookies enable us to track how often Users are visiting our Websites and the specific pages visited, the number of entries in specific events, the estimated audience size for sponsors and advertisers, and other User preferences. You can refuse to use cookies by turning them off in your browser. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use most of the Websites.

We use GIFs to gather aggregate information on visits to our Websites, track usage of Website links and assist with registration and other features.
We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on the Websites. These advertising companies may collect and use information (not including your name, address, e-mail address or telephone number) about your visits to the Websites and other websites not owned and operated by us, and may also combine this information with other data about your purchases and interests from other online and offline sources, in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may interest you (as inferred from your online activity).
We also share usage information about Users of the Websites with these companies for the purpose of managing and targeting advertisements and for market research analysis on the Websites and other websites. For these purposes, we and our third party advertising companies may note some of the pages you visit on the Websites through the use of GIFs. In the course of serving advertisements to the Websites, our third party advertisers may place or recognize a unique ‘cookie’ on your computer. The Websites may post banner ads and other forms of advertisements, and/or links to the websites of affiliate entities or of advertisers or sponsors who are companies that are not owned or operated by us, or our affiliates or subsidiaries. These entities may independently solicit and collect personal information, or send their own cookies and/or clear GIFs to our Users. The data collected is used in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to Users of the Websites and other interactive media and may be used to keep track of user response to each advertisement. We also work with third-party data analytics and online targeting companies. Some of these companies may use non-personal information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to the Websites and other websites in order to provide data and targeting recommendations based on which we may provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
Many of the third-party companies we work with are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), a cooperative on online marketing and analytics companies committed to building consumer awareness and establishing responsible business and data management practices. The NAI has developed a tool that allows consumers to opt out of targeted advertising delivered by NAI members’ ad networks. To learn more about opting out of targeted advertising or to use the tool, go to http://optout.networkadvertising.org/. Following are the names and websites of some of the other companies who may set cookies on the Websites to serve or present the ads that appear on the Websites and to conduct research about the advertisements. You may learn about opting out of their targeted advertising programs by going to their respective websites.

Rhinoir commits to processing Personal Data in accordance with the Privacy Shield Principles as follows:
Prior to collecting Personal Data, Rhinoir notifies EU Users about the categories of Personal Data that Rhinoir collects and the purposes for collection and use of their Personal Data. Rhinoir will only process Personal Data in ways that are compatible with the purpose for which Rhinoir collected it or for purposes later authorized. We use the Personal Data that we collect from EU Users of the Services as described in this Privacy Policy. Before Rhinoir uses Personal Data for a purpose that is materially different from the purpose for which Rhinoir collected it or that was later authorized, Rhinoir will provide EU Users with the opportunity to opt out.
If Rhinoir collects Sensitive Personal Data, we will obtain explicit opt-in consent whenever Privacy Shield requires. Rhinoir will obtain opt-in consent before Personal Data is disclosed to third parties other than those described in this Privacy Policy, before Personal Data is used for a different purpose than that purpose for which it was collected or later authorized, and whenever Privacy Shield requires.
Please see the YOUR CHOICES ABOUT YOUR INFORMATION section above for more information about how to exercise your choices.
Rhinoir shares Personal Data collected through the Services as described above.
If Rhinoir transfers Personal Data to a third party, Rhinoir takes reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that each third party transferee processes Personal Data transferred in a manner consistent with Rhinoir’s obligations under the Privacy Shield Principles. Rhinoir will ensure that each transfer is consistent with any notice provided to EU Users and any consent they have given. Rhinoir requires a written contract with any third party receiving Personal Data that ensures that the third party (i) processes the Personal Data for limited and specified purposes consistent with any consent provided by EU Users, (ii) provides at least the same level of protection as is required by the Privacy Shield Principles, (iii) notifies Rhinoir if it cannot comply with Privacy Shield; and (iv) ceases processing Personal Data or takes other reasonable and appropriate steps to remediate.
As noted above, under certain circumstances, Rhinoir may be required to disclose Personal Data in response to valid requests by public authorities, including for national security or law enforcement requirements.
