Last Updated: April 07, 2016

This Privacy Policy describes the information collected by PepperBottle, Inc. DBA SearchAdvisor when you access or use the services and software on SearchAdvisor (“the Site”) and how we may use that information.

Each time you use the Site, you consent to the collection, use and storage of your personal information as described in the Privacy Policy.

1. Definitions

The use of the term “you” throughout this Site refers to anyone who has accessed the Site in any way.

The use of the term “we” incorporates anyone working on PepperBottle’s behalf, including its owners, directors, managers, employees and authorized agents.

2. Anti-Spam Policy

PepperBottle does not send spam or sell email addresses. We may utilize contact information to provide information regarding our Services or to notify you regarding updates to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

3. What Information is Collected and Stored & How is it Used?

Credit or Debit Card Information: When you sign up our Services, we will telephonically collect your credit or debit card information, including your name, billing address, expiration date, and three-digit security code, in order to process your payment. However we will not store this information ourselves in our servers. We work with a third party provider, Stripe, and save only a token they provide back to us, in order to guarantee the security of your information (see Section 4). The information collected by our employees is stored only for as long to ensure that payments are properly processed through Stripe.

Free Consultation: When you contact us for a free consultation, we will collect the following to best address your business needs:

  • Name;
  • Business name;
  • Email address;
  • Website address/URL;
  • Statement of business services you are interested; and
  • Current Service Provider

Other personal interactions with PepperBottle: Additionally, data may be collected and stored when you email, call, text, or interact with PepperBottle and any of its representatives in person. We will use the information provided to respond to your customer service needs and to continually improve our services.

Non-personal interactions with PepperBottle:

  • When you connect to our website, our web servers recognize and store your IP address and certain other information about your computer. This is necessary to facilitate transactions, administer the web server, and track down problems.
  • PepperBottle may also use “cookie” technology to gather information on Internet use in order to serve you more effectively. Usage of cookies is in no way linked to personally identifiable information. You can set your browser to remove or reject cookie. You do not need to accept cookies to use PepperBottle.

Except as otherwise specified, all the information in this Section 3 of the Privacy Policy that is stored is maintained solely by PepperBottle. We do not sell or rent information to third parties or share information in ways other than disclosed in this Privacy Policy.

4. What about Third Party Data Collection?

If you use certain features on the Site, it may enable third parties to collect data about your use as follows:

Credit or Debit Card Payment: If you sign up for our Services, PepperBottle utilizes Stripe to process any service fees and/or recurring payments. PepperBottle telephonically collects your credit or debit card information and sends it to Stripe, and then Stripe sends us back a token that we store in our servers. This token is linked to but cannot be converted to your credit or debit card information. You should review Stripe’s Privacy Policy for more detail about how your credit or debit card information will be stored and maintained.

Social Plug-Ins: Users can follow PepperBottle on Facebook, Google+, Twitter through the icons on our Site. These Sites may collect cookies and other data. Users should review Facebook’s Data Use Policy, Twitter’s Privacy Policy and Google’s Privacy Policy for more information.

Shared Links: With your permission, you can add “pepperbottle.com” to shared links.

5. Is Information Ever Disclosed by PepperBottle to Third Parties?

Information collected by PepperBottle may be disclosed when (i) we are required to do so by law, or (ii) in the event of a change of ownership.

When Disclosure is Required By Law: Information may be provided where we are required to do so by law, or if we believe in good faith that it is reasonably necessary (i) to respond to claims asserted against PepperBottle or to comply with the legal process (for example, discovery requests, subpoenas or warrants); (ii) to enforce or administer our policies and agreements with Users; (iii) for fraud prevention, risk assessment, investigation, customer support, product development and de-bugging purposes; or (iv) to protect the rights, property or safety of PepperBottle, its Users or members of the general public.

6. What is PepperBottle’s Security Policy?

We have implemented reasonable administrative, technical and physical security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, destruction or alteration of your information. However, Users should be advised that no method of transmission over the Internet and no method of storing electronic information can ever by 100% secure.

7. Response to “Do Not Track” Signals
