Our Privacy Policy has been developed as an extension of our commitment to combine quality products and services with integrity in dealing with users. The Policy is designed to assist you in the understanding of how we collect, use and protect the personal information provided to us. This Privacy Policy is applicable only to our websites and not to any third-party websites that may link to or from this website. Such linked websites may have data collection, storage, and use practices and policies that differ materially from our data collection, storage, and use practices and policies as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
BY USING THIS WEBSITE, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO, THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS PRIVACY POLICY, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY LEAVE THE WEBSITE.
Each time you visit this Website, the then-current version of this Privacy Policy will apply. Accordingly, each time you visit this Website you should check the date of this Privacy Policy (which appears at the end) and review any changes since the last time you visited the Website.
When you visit our site, we collect two types of information: personal information you actively choose to disclose (“Active Information”) and information not visible to you that arises out of your browsing of our site (“Passive Information”). Please note that Passive Information is collected on an aggregate and anonymous basis.
Personally Identifiable Information
Personally Identifiable Information is information that identifies and is reasonably linked to you. Such information includes, without limitation: (1) “Contact Data” (such as your name, mailing address and e-mail address); (2) “Demographic Data” (such as your age, gender, profession, education level, relationship status, religious affiliation, country, state, city and likes and dislikes,); and (3) “Financial Data” (such as your credit/debit card number and expiration date). We do not collect Personally Identifiable Information from you through this Website without first asking you to provide it. The Website does not gather Personally Identifiable Information from you without your knowledge.
Registration
When you register to become an authorized reseller of our products or services (an “Independent Brand Partner”) or when you register to become a Preferred Customer or other registered customer, we will collect Personally Identifiable Information (such as name, address, email address, telephone number, credit/debit card information, and your Social Security or Federal Taxpayer Identification Number, as applicable). This Personally Identifiable Information is securely stored and may be accessed on our website. You are assigned an identification number and select your own password – both are needed to enter the Site and to access your Contact Information. Please safeguard your password in a secure location as we are not responsible for breaches into the system when access is willingly provided.
Ordering
When you place an order for products or services, we collect Personally Identifiable Information (such as name, contact and billing information, credit card, and other transactional information). We use this information to deliver your order, process payment, and to communicate the status of your order.
Credit and Debit Card Storage
Credit and debit card information collected at registration or for product orders is used only to process payment for the transaction and, generally, is not retained on our Site. However, you may voluntarily elect to securely store multiple credit cards to be used for payment for product orders and/or payment of registration and registration renewal fees.
Surveys and Promotions
Occasionally, you may voluntarily provide Personally Identifiable Information to complete surveys and questionnaires or to participate in user polls. We use this information to improve our products and services and to ensure that we’re providing accurate disclosures. We may also use your Personally Identifiable Information to provide you newsletters and other marketing information that coincide with your preferences. You may customize your marketing preferences, or let us know if you do not wish to receive any promotional materials, by adjusting your Subscriptions & Email options on the Site.
Active Information You Choose to Provide
In order to gain use of the site (become a “user”), we require you to disclose the following information: Name, Address and Phone Number
We use secure socket layer (SSL) encryption to protect the transmission of the information you submit to us when you use our secure online forms. The information you provide to us is stored securely.
Passive Information
We store and collect various types of passive information on an aggregate and anonymous basis. This information may include such technical information as it pertains to your Internet protocol address, your device operating system and browser type, cookies, and an address of a referring website or any other path you take to reach our website all described in greater detail below.
Aggregate Information
This refers to information that does not, by itself, identify you as a specific individual. Such information would include the Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) of the website that referred you to our Site, your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you surf the web), your operating system and browser type, and any search terms that you enter on our Site. Our web server aggregates this information in order to monitor the level of activity on our Site, evaluate its effectiveness, and improve the content or our Site in order to make your visit an easy and enjoyable experience.
We may collect, compile, store, publish, promote, report, or otherwise disclose or use any Aggregate Information, provided that such information does not personally identify you. We do not correlate any Personally Identifiable Information with the Aggregate Information that we collect on our Site. If we do correlate any Aggregate Information to you, it will be protected like any other Personally Identifiable Information under this Privacy Statement.
We may receive information about you such as contact information and demographics information from other sources. In addition, we may combine information you give us with information from these sources. The types of information and sources of such information include without limitation the following categories:
Vendors. We may receive contact information and demographic information that you provide to or through our vendors, such as through our email and text message campaigns.

COOKIES
Cookies are a feature of web browser software that allows web servers to recognize the computer used to access a site. They are small pieces of data stored by a user’s browser to simplify subsequent interactions with the site. This makes it easier for a user to move from site to site and to complete transactions over the Internet. Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalized.
Our site utilizes cookies to collect information about how our site is used. Passive Information gathered may include the date and time of visits, the site pages viewed, time spent at our site, the sites visited just before and just after visiting our site. If you do not wish to transmit “cookie” information about yourself, you may turn off the cookie function in your web browser.
Our site’s servers also automatically identify your computer by its Internet Protocol address, which is a unique string of numbers that are assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider. The IP address may be used to address problems with our server or to gather broad demographic information about our users. We passively collect your IP Address.
HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION COLLECTED
Broadly speaking, persons we employ directly, or as contractors or agents at our direction, use Active Information for purposes of administering our core business functions, such as the fulfillment of orders or services, the furnishing of customer care and support, and supplying the availability of other products or services we think might be of interest to our users.
We use Passive Information to gather information about our users and to enhance our site to make it easier, faster and friendlier for users. Additionally, cookies help us better understand the usage pattern of the people that visit our site, which helps us improve our services. Passive Information may result in your viewing of particular advertising based on your user habits.
We reserve the right to use Active and Passive Information in order to prevent, detect and investigate fraud, security breaches, or any other potentially prohibited or illegal activity.
We may use any Active Information or Passive Information provided to contact you about various changes to our site, new services, features or products we offer. If at any time you do not wish to receive such information, you may “opt-out” of doing so by adjusting your email settings in the back office of the website.
Your Information Relating to Hyperlinks
You might be able to access other websites through our site via hyperlinks. When you do so, you are subjecting yourself to their privacy policies and data collection. Please read the privacy policies of those sites to ensure you agree with the terms before using such sites.
Sharing of Personally Identifiable Information with Third Parties – Our Disclosure Practices
Except under the following circumstances and otherwise as set forth in this Privacy Policy, we will keep your Personally Identifiable Information private and will not sell it or share it with third parties.
Disclosure in Connection with Services. We will disclose your Personally Identifiable Information to those who provide services to us in the operation of our business such as the performance of technical, administrative and data processing tasks such as hosting, billing, fulfillment, and data storage and security.
By Law or to Protect Rights. We disclose Personally Identifiable Information when required to do so by law, or in response to a subpoena or court order, or when we believe in our sole discretion that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect our property or rights or the property or rights of third parties or the public at large.
Legally Required Law Enforcement, Judicial and Administrative Agency Disclosures. We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information as necessary to comply with judicial and administrative orders, subpoenas, Civil or Criminal Investigative Demands, Administrative and Regulatory Demands and other legal obligations. In order for us to conduct business in certain jurisdictions, we may be required to disclose certain Personally Identifiable Information to regulatory authorities in such jurisdictions. Such information may include, but is not limited to, income information, name, address, email address, and other contact information.
Fraud Prevention. We may share Personal Information necessary to the prevention of fraud, illegal activities, and security breaches. Because of this, it’s possible some of your personal information may be shared with fraud prevention agencies. If false or inaccurate information is provided and fraud is identified, details of this fraud may be passed on to these agencies.
Business Transfers; Bankruptcy. We reserve the right to transfer all Personally Identifiable Information in our possession to a successor organization in the event of a merger, acquisition, or bankruptcy or other sale of all or a portion of our assets. Other than to the extent ordered by a bankruptcy or other court, the use and disclosure of all transferred Personally Identifiable Information will be subject to this Privacy Policy, or to a new privacy policy if you are given notice of that new privacy policy and an opportunity to affirmatively opt-out of it. Personally Identifiable Information submitted or collected after a transfer, however, may be subject to a new privacy policy adopted by a successor organization.
Unpaid Accounts. If you fail to pay any balance owed to us for products ordered or services that we provide to you, we may, as permitted by law, report your Personally Identifiable Information, including without limitation your unpaid balance, to consumer credit reporting services, collection agencies and others.
Lead Assignment. We occasionally will assign prospective sales and prospective Brand Partner and Preferred Customer leads to Independent Brand Partners. In these cases, we will provide the prospective customer, Preferred Customer, or Brand Partner with the appropriate Brand Partner’s name and contact information and/or provide a Brand Partner with the prospective customer’s, Preferred Customer’s or Brand Partner’s name and contact information. Therefore, if you join Amare Global as a Brand Partner or as a Preferred Customer, or if you register as a customer and order products, and you were not introduced by a Brand Partner, your contact information will be shared with a Brand Partner selected by us. Likewise, if you are a Brand Partner and you have a new Brand Partner, Preferred Customer, or other customer assigned to you, your contact information will be shared with such individual.
Brand Partner Locator Feature. We have a Brand Partner Locator feature on our website. Pursuant to this feature, a prospective customer or prospective Brand Partner can locate a nearby Brand Partner. In order to make the Brand Partner Locator feature and the lead assignments effective, the company will provide the prospective customer or prospective Brand Partner with the appropriate Brand Partner’s name and contact information, which may include his/her telephone number, address, and/or email address.
Downline Activity/Genealogy Reports. Amare Global is a network marketing company. Therefore, we provide certain information to Brand Partners regarding other Brand Partners and Preferred Customers and other registered customers enrolled in a Brand Partner’s downline marketing organization (sales team). To help Brand Partners manage their independent businesses, we provide our Brand Partners with some of the Personally Identifiable Information of the other Brand Partners whom they have personally sponsored/enrolled as well as other Brand Partners who are on their marketing teams. If you enroll as a Brand Partner or register as a Preferred Customer or other customer, your name, address, telephone number, and email address, as well as data relating to your sales, purchases, and recruitment activity may be disclosed to the Brand Partner who sponsored you and to other Brand Partners who are upline to the Brand Partner who sponsored/enrolled you. When enrolling, you have the choice of limiting the Personal Information about you that is shared. Such information is shared via the Brand Partner Back-Office. Information relating to downline Brand Partners is made available to upline Brand Partners subject to a confidentiality and non-solicitation covenant in the agreement that each Brand Partner enters into with us. However, we do not warrant that Brand Partners will adhere to the confidentiality and non-solicitation covenants, and we shall not be responsible for any Brand Partners’ violation of these covenants. By enrolling as a Brand Partner or registering as a Preferred Customer or other customer, you consent to the disclosure of your Personally Identifiable Information as described in this paragraph.
Surveys Conducted by Third Parties. It may become necessary to conduct surveys of our customers or Brand Partners. Should we deem it necessary to conduct a survey, we may outsource the survey to a third party. In that event we will provide the third-party survey company with certain of your Personally Identifiable information as is necessary for the third-party survey company to conduct the survey and to those third parties whom we engage to review and analyze the results of the survey. We will not provide your social security number, credit card or banking information to the survey provider.
Finally, we may disclose anonymous information about user habits to third party advertisers on our site.
We secure your personal information submitted by you by using reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, or accidental loss of Active and Passive Information. Individual postings on this site and other communications to our office via email or standard mail may not be secure unless we advise you that security measures are in place prior to your submission of information. Therefore, if you choose to communicate with us through these means, you are assuming the risk of doing so and we respectfully request that you do not send or post sensitive information through these means.
