1. Who we are

Now Advertising Media LLC (“Now Advertising Media,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is an Oregon limited liability company at 106 NW F St, #424, Grants Pass, Oregon 97526. This policy explains what personal information we collect through nowadmedia.com (the “Site”), our Services and our software, how we use and share it, and the choices you have. It is part of our Terms of Service.

2. Information we collect

Information you give us.

• Account and orders: name, email address, billing and shipping address, phone number, username and password, and your order history when you create an account or buy through our Shop.
• Payments: card and payment details are entered with our payment processor, Stripe, and are handled by Stripe. We receive confirmation of the payment and limited details such as the card type and last four digits.
• Contact, support and quote requests: name, email, phone number, business name and the message or details you send through our contact form, support tickets, kiosk quote form and other request forms.
• A.I. readiness assessment: company name, email address and your answers when you request a custom roadmap.
• Affiliate program: username, name, email, payment email, website and how you plan to promote us.
• Advertising work: logos, graphics, menus, text and other material you give us for ads, along with business contact details.
• Town Map bookings: the city, spot and package you select and the details you give to reserve it.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site we and our service providers collect your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring page and similar technical data, using cookies and similar technologies (see Section 6).

Information about your customers. If you give us personal information about your own customers, for example for a Service we run for you, we handle it on your behalf under your Advertising Contract and this policy, and you are responsible for having the right to give it to us.

3. Software and licensing

Our software, including Circuit Bender and its plugins, sends only what licensing and update checks need. It never sends your music, projects, recordings or files, or information about how you use it, and it contains no advertising, tracking or usage statistics.

• Activating, checking (about every 90 days) or deactivating a license: your license key, the product and version, one-way codes made from the computer’s hardware and system (they cannot be turned back into serial numbers), and the computer’s name in Windows. We use them to tie a license to your computers and list them on your Licenses page.
• Starting a free trial: the product and the same one-way codes, so each computer gets one trial.
• Checking for updates (at most once a day; it can be turned off): the product and its major version.
• Our server also sees your IP address with each request; we use it only to slow down repeated wrong license keys.

4. How we use information

We use personal information to:

• provide, deliver and support our Services, including creating ads, loading content to your monitors and managing your account;
• deliver software downloads, issue and check license keys and trials, and show your computers on your Licenses page;
• process payments, send receipts and manage subscriptions and renewals;
• respond to your questions, support tickets and quote requests;
• send you service messages about your account and orders;
• send marketing emails, calls or text messages only if you have opted in (see Section 7);
• pay affiliate commissions and revenue shares we owe you;
• keep the Site, Services and our licensing secure, and prevent fraud, license-key sharing, spam and abuse;
• improve the Site and Services; and
• comply with the law and enforce our Terms of Service.

5. Who we share it with

We share personal information only as described here. We do not sell your personal information.

• Service providers that help us run the Site and Services, including Stripe for payments, our web hosting provider, our email delivery provider, and the helpdesk and e-commerce software that runs the Site. They may use the information only to provide services to us.
• Our advertising network. If you buy an ad or become a host, your business name, logo and ad content may be shown on monitors and in promotions as part of the Service. We do not publish your personal contact details in ads unless you ask us to.
• Affiliates. If a purchase came through an affiliate’s link, the affiliate may see that a sale was made and its amount, never your payment details.
• Professional advisers, such as attorneys, accountants and insurers, who are bound to keep the information confidential.
• Legal and safety reasons. We may disclose information if we believe in good faith that the law requires it, to respond to a lawful request, or to protect the rights, property or safety of us, our customers or others.
• Business transfers. If we merge with, are acquired by, or sell part of our business to another company, personal information may be transferred as part of that deal.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your shopping cart, process orders, credit affiliates for the sales they refer, keep the Site secure and understand how it is used. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but parts of the Site, such as the cart, checkout and account, may not work without them.

7. Marketing messages

We send marketing emails, calls or text messages only to people who have opted in, as our Terms of Service describe. Each marketing email has an unsubscribe link. To stop text messages, reply STOP. You can also email support@nowadmedia.com to opt out. Opting out of marketing does not stop service messages about your account, orders and billing. Agreeing to marketing is never a condition of buying anything. Message and data rates may apply.

8. How long we keep information

We keep personal information as long as we need it to provide the Services, meet legal, tax and accounting requirements, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. License records (license key, order, computers and their names, check dates) are kept as long as the license exists, and trial records as long as needed to give each computer one trial. After that we delete information or remove identifying details within 30 days of a request, or sooner where the law requires.

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal information, including secure (HTTPS) connections, secure payment handling by Stripe, and signed licenses that cannot be forged. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Keep your password confidential, and tell us right away at support@nowadmedia.com if you think your account has been compromised.

10. Your choices and rights

You can ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it, by emailing support@nowadmedia.com or writing to the address in Section 14. We will verify your identity and respond within 45 days. We may keep information we need for legal, tax, security or dispute purposes. You can also update your account details in your account, free a computer from a license on your Licenses page, opt out of marketing as described in Section 7, and block cookies in your browser.

Oregon law gives some residents additional privacy rights against businesses that meet certain size thresholds. We will honor valid requests in the way the law requires, and we will not treat you differently for making one.

11. Children

The Site and Services are for people who are at least 18 years old, as our Terms of Service state. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has given us personal information, email support@nowadmedia.com and we will delete it.

12. Other websites

The Site may link to websites we do not control. This policy does not apply to them, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on the Site, with a new “Last revised” date. If we make a material change, we will try to notify you by email or on the Site. Using the Site or Services after a change means you accept the updated policy.
