You may cancel your paid membership subscription at any time by contacting MDIB at info@mommydibs.com.  If you cancel your subscription during your subscription term, you typically will be permitted to use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term. Your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires, provided, however, all applicable fees under your subscription must have been paid.  After the expiration or termination of your subscription, for any reason, all terms of this Agreement and Privacy Policy survive such termination or expiration, and continue in full force and effect, except for any terms that by their nature expire or are fully satisfied.

THIRD PARTY SERVICES

You access those sites at your own risk. We do not guarantee the security of any information that you may disclose on other websites, and MDIB is not responsible or liable for those websites’ policies, actions, or content.

Your payment information is sent directly to a secure third-party credit or debit card processing center. We retain none of your credit or debit card account information. Payments are made through a secure server with SSL encryption, in order to guarantee complete transaction security.

SECURITY

In accordance with industry standards, we have implemented security safeguards to protect MDIB and its users against unauthorized accessing, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of Personal Information. Some of the safeguards may include:

• Requiring passwords in order to access sections of the Site or certain data;
• Employing firewalls to prevent unauthorized Site and data access; and
• Restricting access to Personal Information to certain MDIB employees, contactors, agents, and operators; and

While we are always looking to take reasonable steps to improve our security, the Internet can never be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of the information transmitted to MDIB. In particular, emails, messages, and other communications between MDIB users are not encrypted, and you should never use these communication methods to convey personal information that you wish to keep private. Ultimately, you are responsible for protecting the security of your password and login information.

Data Breach

While MDIB employs multiple security measures to maintain data security, data breaches can occasionally happen, even to the most secure of systems.  In the event of such a situation, MDIB will, in compliance with any applicable federal and state data breach laws, endeavor to timely notify all users whose Personal Information MDIB knows or has clear reason to believe was accessed by an unauthorized person.

YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE EU GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION

If you are a European Union resident, in addition to our general Privacy Policy, we would like to bring the following to your attention:

Data Controller/Processor. For purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), if you are located in the European Economic Area, MDIB is the Controller (as defined in the GDPR) of your Personal Information. Data Protection Officer: MDIB has a “Data Protection Officer” who is responsible for matters relating to privacy and data protection. This Data Protection Officer can be reached by mail at Attn: Data Protection Office 1242-44 N Milwaukee Ave. Chicago, IL 60622,  by email at privacy@mommydibs.com. Your Rights as a Data Subject. The GDPR may provide you the right to:

• Make a Data Subject Access Request to access your Personal Information at any time. This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
• Request correction of the Personal Information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate Personal Information we hold about you corrected, although we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
• Request erasure / deletion / removal of your Personal Information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Information where we do not have a valid reason to continue to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Information where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing, where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your Personal Information to comply with local law. Please Note: we may not always be able to comply with your request for erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
• Object to processing of your Personal Information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a 3rd party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Information for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
• Request restriction of processing of your Personal Information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your Personal Information in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to process it.
• Data Portability / Request the transfer of your Personal Information to you or directly to another controller. This right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the Personal Information to perform a contract with you. We will (unless there is an exemption) assist you by securely transferring your Personal Information directly to another controller where technically feasible or by providing you with a copy in a structured commonly used machine readable format.
• Withdraw consent at any timewhere we are relying on your consent to process your Personal Information. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

Legal Basis for processing your Personal Information.  We have set out a short description of main ways we will collect, store, process, share and disclose your Personal Information and the legal basis we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are, where appropriate. We will only use your Personal information when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your Personal Information in the following circumstances:

• To fulfill a contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you;
• Where it is in our legitimate interests, i.e. a business or commercial reason to use your information in conducting and managing our business;
• When it is our legal or regulatory duty; and
• When you consent.

RETENTION PERIOD

We will retain your Personal Information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

USE OF SERVICES BY MINORS

The Services are not directed to individuals under the age of eighteen (18), and we request that these individuals do not provide Personal Information through the Services.

CROSS-BORDER TRANSFER

The Services are controlled and operated by us from the United States, and are not intended to subject us to the laws or jurisdiction of any state, country or territory other than that of the United States. Your Personal Information may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers, and by using the Services you consent to the transfer of information to countries outside of your country of residence, including the United States, which may have different data protection rules than those of your country.
