Breeze collects, processes, and uses your personal information without asking for explicit consent only when this information is necessary for fulfilling the terms of our contract and for billing purposes.

What does this mean for you?

 

 

Information you provide

When registering a Breeze website, it is necessary to specify a username and an email address. The specified username will be made public as part of the web address username.diyezweb.com. The email address is used to send you notifications concerning your Breeze website. These include your login data, announcements, product-related information, and more. You always have the option to unsubscribe from our newsletter and individual email alerts (email notification of new contact form entries, comments, or guestbook posts). For certain service packages, other contact and payment details are required. This data will be stored only until you delete your Breeze account, unless otherwise required by law.

 

Information on the usage of your Breeze website

When you log into your Breeze website, the Breeze server automatically collects data on how you use Breeze in what is known as an activity log. The server collects information on your activity (including storage space used, number of sign-ins, etc.), statistical data (such as your browser, date and time of log in, cookie ID, and referrer URL), and your IP address.

 

Storage of cookies on your computer

Cookies are tiny text files stored on your computer. Most frequently, cookies are stored for the duration of the current session, i.e. until you close your browser, but in some cases they are stored longer than this. Breeze may use cookies as follows:

 

Advertising and analytics cookies

Third-party services are used on getthebreeze.com and your Breeze website for advertising and analysis-related purposes. These services may set third-party cookies and/or pixel tags (web beacons), in order to be able to display specific regional or topic-targeted banners to you while you surf the web. Most browsers allow you to deactivate third-party cookies in their settings. Please note however, that this may affect the functionality of other sites outside Breeze (forums, etc.). You can also choose to deactivate third-party cookies by going to the Network Advertising Initiative site and following the instructions there.

 

Breeze may use the following third-party services:

 

Breeze.com may use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc., (“Google”). Google Analytics stores cookies on your computer which allow you to analyze the surfing patterns of visitors to your website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) will be sent to a Google server in the United States and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for website operators and to report other website activity and internet-related services. If required by law, Google will pass along this information to third parties. Google will also pass along data to third parties for processing, provided this processing is done on behalf of Google. Under no circumstances shall Google connect your IP address with any other data held by Google. If you wish, you can adjust your browser settings so as to refuse cookies. Please keep in mind, however, that if you refuse all cookies, you will not necessarily have access to all functions of this website. By using this site, you consent to the processing of your data by Google as described above, for the aforementioned purpose. If you wish to prevent your IP address from being saved now and in the future, you can do so by installing a browser plug in available here.

 

You can find additional information on how Google handles data related to your person in its advertising network here: Advertising and Privacy.

 

Breeze’s Statistics feature, powered by Google Analytics, uses the "Anonymize IP" option, which ensures that your IP is only processed in an anonymized form.

Facebook. Our website may use social plugins (“plugins”) from facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook, Inc. (“Facebook”). These plugins are branded with a Facebook logo or with a phrase such as "Facebook Social Plugin". When you visit a page on our website containing a Facebook Social Plugin, your browser creates a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to your browser by Facebook and is then incorporated into the website. Facebook, in turn, is aware of every time the website is accessed. If you have a Facebook profile, the company is able to associate the website visit to your profile by using JavaScript and setting cookies. If you interact with plugins on a website, for example by clicking the “Like” button or replying to a message, this information will be sent directly to Facebook and stored there. With the right browser plug-in you can prevent this information from being transferred, but please keep in mind that Facebook Social Plugins will no longer work properly.

For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and further processing and use of data by Facebook, as well as your rights and changes to settings you can make, please review the Facebook privacy policy here.

 

Log information. When you visit a Breeze website (breezewebsitebuilder.com, getthebreeze.com, your own Breeze site, or websites of other Breeze users), the Breeze server automatically saves the information that your browser sends whenever you visit this site. The information includes your request, IP address, browser type and language, and the date and time of your request. The information is used solely for analyzing and maintaining the technical operation of the servers and network as a whole. It is automatically deleted after three months.

 

The communication between you and Breeze. Should you have questions, you can contact us at any time via email or on getthebreeze.com. We save your message so as to reply as quickly as possible, and to track and improve our support service. Your information will only be used to process your request.

 

Newsletter. Our newsletter contains links and graphics to help us learn whether you actually read our newsletter and which topics interest you most. This allows us to improve our service and increase quality control.

 

Visibility and publicly accessible information

 

The Breeze website. Any information that you put on your Breeze website can be viewed by other Internet users. Therefore, we ask that you be careful and responsible with any personal information (such as addresses and phone numbers) and confidential data (such as passwords and login details) you put on your website. Keep in mind that password-protected areas do not absolutely prevent unauthorized access: files uploaded on password-protected pages can still be accessed through direct links.

 

Administrative access to your Breeze website. Breeze team members are authorized to access the administrative section (CMS) of your Breeze website when fulfilling customer service requests and tracking errors. In such cases, they are able to view all parts of your website, including all password-protected areas. All members of our team are regularly trained in privacy concerns and the confidentiality of data.

 

Your information will never be sold to third parties. We will not disclose any personal data without your consent, unless:

• We are required by law to do so.

• We are obliged to do so to enforce our Terms of Use or the rights of Breeze.

• We make use of third-party services to provide you with Breeze products or services. In these cases, we may need to share information. For example:
  • Domain registration. When you register a domain other than our (username.diyezweb.com) product, Breeze is required to transfer registration data to the relevant domain organization. For more information on the nature and extent of data transferred, please consult Dynadot, LLC, which is the authority we use and is responsible for your domain. When you signed up you were required to abide by their terms of service, found HERE. 

   

  Depending on the registrar, this transferred registration data may be made publicly visible online. In particular, personal registration information for .com, .net, .org, .info, and .biz domains will be made public on the WHOIS.com website. You should keep this in mind when registering one of these TLDs.
  • Statistics. We may use Google Analytics to generate statistics for your website. Data collected is processed in a non-personally-identifying form (“anonymizeIp”). Google Analytics’ privacy policy can be found here.

 

If Breeze is ever acquired by another company, user information could be transferred to the acquiring party.

 

If you do not consent to this privacy policy in whole or in part, now or at a later point in time, you will no longer be able to use our services. In this case, you are required to inform us immediately and to delete your Breeze website site at once, and to cancel your hosting agreement or ecommerce site if you have one.

 

We may change our privacy policy from time to time. Your rights, however, will not be reduced without good reason. All changes to the privacy policy will be listed on this page. If the changes are significant, we will announce the change to users (in an email newsletter, for example).
