Privacy Policy and GDPR Statement

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to Addiction Resource Systems, Inc. (ARS) and its subsidiaries and information collected through use of this website (www.breakfreestayfree.com) and online products and services related to the addiction industry (“Services”). Personal information that we receive, collect or process from or on behalf of third parties, including our customers and business partners, is governed by the privacy policies of those third parties. For example, the personal information that we receive from individuals using our Services to use a resource is governed by its privacy policy. We are not responsible for the policies or actions of our customers, business partners, or other third parties with respect to personal information.

Transfer of Your Information Outside the EEA

We may transfer some of your information to the United States in order to process to a resource and other transactions. Because the United States does not have equivalent data protection legislation protecting the use of your personal information, we comply with European Union law by using Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or by adopting other means to ensure that adequate safeguards are applied.

Notice

We receive personal information, including names and contact information from our clients and business partners and, in some cases, directly from individuals when we act as a contractor for our customers and partners in providing our Services; and from individuals who voluntarily submit it to us by requesting products, services or other information through this website, by participating in surveys or promotions or by engaging in other communications with ARS. This information may be combined with information that we receive from other sources, including from third party business partners. For example, we may use third party information to confirm contact information or to better understand your interests by associating demographic information with the information you have provided.

When our customers grant staff administrator rights for ARS, then we will also collect some personal information about these administrators in order to provide the services and for security reasons. This will include log-in details such as name, email address and password, IP address, time of access to the service, as well as a record of whether the administrator has accepted ARS’s terms and conditions and privacy policy.

When individuals visit this website and the websites of our customers, we utilize cookies, tracking pixels, web beacons and other technologies to collect data that allows us to customize and improve user experience with our website and our Services. For example, these technologies allow us to identify whether an individual is a first time or return visitor and to provide faster data retrieval for return visitors. When an individual voluntarily submits information to us or one of our customers or business partners, we may associate this personal information with information gathered through these technologies so that we can offer increased personalization and functionality services to our customers or business partners.

We use the information we collect to provide related Services to our customers and to individuals on behalf of our customers. We also use the information we collect to offer industry-related analysis, reporting and marketing services to our customers and other third parties in the addiction industry.

We may further use any information that we collect, including personal information, to administer, operate and improve our website, our Services and our business. We also use information we collect to communicate with individuals and for other marketing purposes.

Notice to California Residents

Under California law, California residents may request a list of all third parties to whom we have disclosed certain personal information (as defined by California law) during the preceding year for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. If you are a California resident and would like to receive such a list, please contact us. For any such request, include the statement “Your California Privacy Rights” in the body of your request, as well as your name, street address, city, state, and zip code. Please provide enough information for us to determine if this applies to you. You must also attest to the fact that you are a California resident and provide a current California address for our response. Please note that we will not accept requests via the telephone, email, or by facsimile, and we are not responsible for notices that are not labeled or sent properly or that do not have complete information.

Security

No security program is impenetrable and criminals have proven adept at circumventing widely-adopted security safeguards, so we cannot guarantee the security of personal information. Accordingly, you acknowledge that you provide personal information to us at your own risk.

Any customer, reseller, user or other third party accessing ARS’s website or Services is responsible for its own use of the website and the Services. ARS is not responsible for any third party’s actions or their security controls with respect to information that third parties may collect or process via the website, Services or otherwise.

Onward Transfer

We may utilize third party service providers to help us manage our business and provide goods and services to our customers and business partners. We may also share personal information with our customers, business partners and our affiliates for their own marketing and internal business purposes. If we share personal information with third parties, we require that they only use such information received from us for their intended purpose.

ARS also may disclose any personal information as required by law, court order or other valid legal processes or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of ARS, any of ARS’s business lines, or all or substantially all of ARS ‘s assets or a ARS business line’s assets.

Do Not Track

Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. When a user turns on DNT, the browser sends a message to websites requesting that they don’t track the user. At this time, we ignore these signals. We do not change our practices, described elsewhere in this privacy policy, in response to Do Not Track browser settings or signals. For information about DNT, visit www.allaboutdnt.org.

In addition, we deploy cookies, tracking pixels, web beacons and other technologies on our websites and those of our customers. Those tools may be used by us, our customers, and third parties to collect information about you and your internet activity, even if you have turned on DNT.

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

Privacy Policy Updates

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this site and notify you of material changes with an alert on the site or a communication to you.

Additional Information/Questions

We will investigate all complaints promptly and diligently to address your concerns and resolve any disputes quickly. If a complaint or dispute cannot be resolved through our internal process, we agree to independent dispute resolution procedures administered by the American Arbitration Association.
