This privacy statement covers the site www.socurio.com. Because Socurio wants to demonstrate its commitment to your privacy, it has agreed to disclose its information practices and have its privacy practices reviewed for compliance by TRUSTe.
If you have questions or concerns regarding this statement, you should first contact Socurio’s Legal Department at support@socurio.com.

Socurio values the users of our web site (the "Website") and their access to the services offered on it (the "Services"), and we know your privacy is important to you. Accordingly, we have implemented this Privacy Policy to inform you of the information that we collect from you, how we collect it, and what we do with it. By using the Website you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
How and when we collect information
We collect "personal" information from you when you provide it to us. For example, if you register as a member or purchase a product through us, we collect your name, mailing address, email address. If you sign up to receive a newsletter or other email service, we will collect your email address. If you utilize other Services or take advantage of special offers made by us or our marketing partners, we may collect other personal information about you.
What we do with your information
We are committed to protecting your privacy. We use your personal information for internal purposes such as processing and keeping you informed of your order. You may, from time to time, receive information from us about new features, new services and special offers we think you'll find valuable. If you choose to take advantage of special offers made by our marketing partners, we may transfer your personal information to them. Also, we make our customer's mailing addresses available to carefully screened companies whose products or services might interest you.We will obtain consent before we share product offerings from third parties with our users.
The personal information that you give us when you place an order or utilize one of the Services is used to process and fulfill your order or request. We also use your personal information for our own internal purposes, such as providing member or customer support or providing, maintaining, evaluating and improving the Services and the Website. We use our members’ and customers' non-personal information to track their use of the Website and the Services and for other internal purposes. We also make our members’ and customers' non-personal information available, in aggregate form, to marketing partners, advertisers and others in order to assist us in improving our services and reaching customers with information that is relevant to them.
We partner with one or more credit card processing companies to assist us in processing payments. However, those companies do not retain, share, store, or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes. The information you provide us is used for processing and fulfilling your order and contacting you if we have problems processing your order.
We may disclose the personal and non-personal information of our members and customers to any successor-in-interest of ours, such as a company that acquires us. In the event we go through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information will likely be among the assets transferred. We may need to disclose personal information when required by law and when we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a judicial proceeding, warrant, subpoena, court order or legal process.
Your choice to opt-out of certain communications
If you are no longer interested in receiving e-mail announcements and other marketing information from us, please update your account setting by logging into your account on the site. Note that you may still receive member service or customer service-related communications from us.
We link to other sites
The Website may contain links to other web sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other web sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by the Website.
IP address and cookies
We also collect "non-personal" information from you, such as your browser type, the URL of the previous web site you visited, your ISP, operating system, and your IP address. "Non-personal" information cannot be easily used to personally identify you. We may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website. Your IP address also may be used to gather broad demographic information and to recognize customer traffic patterns and site usage. This information aids us in merchandising and in developing the design and layout of the site.
In addition, like almost all social utility and e-commerce web sites, we use "cookies." Cookies are bits of information that are stored on your computer by your web browser. Although our cookies don't store any of your personal information, they do allow us to do things like keep items in your shopping cart between visits or during the same visit or provide you with a more personalized user experience. Whether you want your web browser to accept cookies or not is up to you. If you haven't changed your computer's settings, most likely your browser already accepts cookies.
We may collect and share “non-personal” information about the pages that you visit on the Website, but this information is not personally identifiable.
Third Party Cookies
The use of cookies by our affiliates is not covered by our privacy statement. We do not have access or control over these cookies. Our affiliates use session ID cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site.
Our Web site includes Widgets, which are interactive mini-programs that run on our site to provide specific services from another company (e.g. displaying the news, opinions, music, etc). Personal information, such as your email address, may be collected through the Widget. Cookies may also be set by the Widget to enable it to function properly. Information collected by this Widget is governed by the privacy policy of the company that created it. If you provide us personal information about others, or if others give us your information, we will only use that information for the specific reason for which it was provided to us.
How we protect your information
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us from unauthorized access or disclosure, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Other than our limited security guarantee, we assume no liability for any disclosure of data due to errors in transmission, unauthorized third party access or other acts of third parties, or acts or omissions beyond our reasonable control.
Children's Privacy
The Services are intended for users ages 18 and older. Accordingly, we will not knowingly collect or use any personal information from children that we know to be under the age of 18. In addition, we will delete any information in our database that we know originates from a child under the age of 18.
Updating your personal information
If you are a member and your personal information changes, you may correct, update or remove personal information previously provided to us by contacting our customer service department at support@socurio.com or by logging into your account and changing your information online
