Privacy Policy

Effective date: 10/11/2024

INTRODUCTION

This Application and/or Website (“Platform”) and its contents are owned by Future City Now ("we," "us," or "our"), along with third-party vendors contracted by us to run and maintain the functionality of our Platform. We are committed to protecting the privacy of those who use our Platform.

This Privacy Policy describes the information we collect, how we use it, and your options as you interact with the Platform. By using this Platform, you agree to this Privacy Policy. Please read the following carefully before using the Platform.

Please note that this Privacy Policy does not govern the collection and use of information by companies that we do not control, nor by individuals not employed or managed by us. If you visit another website outside of our Platform (whether recommended, referenced, or linked), we strongly encourage you to review that website’s privacy policy before providing that website your information. This Privacy Policy applies only to our Platform.

YOUR CONSENT

By using our Platform, you consent to the collection, use, and sharing of information as described in this Privacy Policy. By providing us with an email address when you subscribe, request to be contacted, or request a free 30-minute consult, you agree that we may use your email address to communicate with you about our services and select messages from our partners or affiliates.

NOTE: Opt-out options are discussed in the section entitled “Third-Party Vendors and Ways to Opt Out”.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

You may use our Platform without providing any personal information. When you reply to any of our communications with a request, we may need to collect additional information. For example, you may be asked to provide personally identifiable information (PII), such as first and last name, email address, phone number, and the name of your organization.

If you submit any personal information relating to other people, you represent that you have the authority to do so and permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. By submitting personal information, you grant us the right to transmit, monitor, retrieve, store, and use your information in connection with the operation of the Platform.

When you submit personal information, we may also collect certain information by automated means, such as cookies and web beacons. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “web beacon,” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag, or clear GIF, is used to transmit information about actions of the user opening the page or email containing the beacon back to a web server. Certain features of the Services may use local shared objects (or Flash cookies) to collect and store information about your preferences and how you interact with the Services. We may also use third-party analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) that separately stores and collects information about use of the Services and user traffic. The information we may collect by automated means may include, without limitation:


  • Information about the devices you use to access the Services (such as your computer’s domain name, the IP address and the type of the device, operating system, and web browser).
  • Dates, times, and duration of use of the Services (including whether you are a repeat or first-time visitor).
  • Information on actions taken when using the Services (such as page views and navigation patterns).

This information helps us to improve and personalize our Services, focus our marketing efforts more precisely, and helps us identify and authenticate users.

Additionally, you may also opt to create a “gener.us” account. This is a secure application available to you for donations. All credit card information is processed externally by an approved third-party credit card processor. We will not store, process, and/or transmit your card information; however, PII may be stored within our Platform. Before creating a “gener.us” account, please review the “gener.us” Terms of Service.

HOW WE USE THIS INFORMATION

You have the right to choose whether to disclose PII to us. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, PII is information that can be used to identify you such as:

  • your first and last name, company affiliation, email address, phone number, billing address, and shipping address
  • your user ID and password
  • credit card information
  • any account-preference information you provide
  • your computer's domain name and IP address, indicating where your computer is located on the Internet
  • session data for your login session so that our computer can 'talk' to yours while you are logged in

The PII you provide us may be used to:

  • fulfill online requests
  • process credit card information
  • respond to customer service inquiries, questions, and requests to improve customer service,
  • help us provide or improve the services we offer
  • personalize your experience and inform you about the treatments/services in which you have indicated an interest
  • tailor digital advertisements on third-party websites based on your interactions on our Platform
  • improve our Platform offerings and send you information and updates
  • provide aggregated statistical information, in a way that your identity cannot be determined
  • comply with a legal request, such as a subpoena or search warrant
  • respond to an external auditor that has agreed to keep the information confidential
  • enforce applicable Terms of Service
  • protect the rights, safety, or property of our Platform, its users, or others, such as during the exchange of information with other organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and/or risk reduction
  • administer a promotion, survey, or other site feature
  • communicate changes to our Privacy Policy

THIRD-PARTY VENDORS AND WAYS TO OPT-OUT

By providing your PII to us, either directly or through a reseller or other business partner, we will:

  • not sell or rent it to a third-party without your permission. Unless you opt-out by sending us an email at [email protected], we may use your contact information to provide you with information we believe you need to know or may find useful, such as news about our services and products and modifications to the Terms of Service
  • take commercially reasonable precautions to protect the information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction

In the course of our business, we may share information with third-parties, including as required by law or in order to provide the services requested. We engage reputable third-party vendors to help us manage this Platform, provide content and information, and interact better with our customers.

Although we do not control how third-parties collect or use your information to serve interest-based advertising or other targeted content, a number of these third-parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your information collected or used in this way.

ACCESSING AND CHANGING YOUR INFORMATION

You may send us an email at [email protected], to request access to, correct, and/or delete any personal information and/or consent to process your PII that you have provided to us. We may not accommodate a request to change or delete information if we believe the change or deletion would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.
