Here at Grow Investments LLC (DBA Grow My TSP) we are committed to protecting your information. With that in mind we want to share with you our privacy policy as outlined below. This policy will address how your “Personally Identifiable Information” (PII) is being used on our site. PII is described in US privacy law. This is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website. Click HERE to learn more about our Terms & Conditions for the website.

When ordering or registering on our site, as appropriate, you may be asked to enter your name, email address, cell number, credit card information or other details to help you with your experience.

We collect information from you when you register on our site, place an order, subscribe to a newsletter, fill out a form or enter information on our site or from a link in email or text communication.

We may use the information we collect from you when you register, make a purchase, sign up for our newsletter, respond to a survey or marketing communication, surf the website, or use certain other site features in the following ways:

To personalize your experience and to allow us to deliver the type of content and product offerings in which you are most interested.

To quickly process your transactions.

To send periodic emails or texts regarding your order or other products and services.

To follow up after correspondence (live chat, email or phone inquiries)

Our website is scanned on a regular basis for security holes and known vulnerabilities in order to make your visit to our site as safe as possible. We use regular Malware scans and site vulnerability scans.

Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of customer service personnel who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, all sensitive/credit information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology (even our customer service, site host, or CRM cannot see credit card information).

We implement a variety of security measures when a user places an order to maintain the safety of your personal information. All transactions are processed through a secure gateway provider and are not stored or processed on our servers.

If you fill out a form on our site, specifically when you enter your email address and/or cell phone number, then you should understand we use that information in two ways:

Marketing Communication

An example would be when you fill out a form to receive a download (eBook, guide, or other informational material). We would use your email/text to provide you with the download you requested and keep you informed of other products and services periodically.

Transactional Communication

This are times when we send you specific information about your individual account, purchases, invoices, etc. These emails/texts would also be used to send you informational alerts as part of your paid or unpaid subscription to those alerts, meaning the email/texts are essential to the service we are providing you with your subscription.

You do not have to agree to receive the emails and/or texts as a condition of making a purchase, although it is very important to note that if you are subscribing to our service for the newsletter and allocation alerts that we send those out via email and text. You can opt-out (unsubscribe) at any time, but just know this will impact you getting timely notices of alerts and other transactional communications.

You will normally receive 2-4 email and/or text alerts per month as part of your paid subscription. You may receive other transactional communications based on your requests or actions you take on our site under your account profile (Example: change CC info, update email, password, or username).

Note about SMS texts: Even though unlimited texting has become more common, some users may have to pay a small fee to their cell provider to receive text messages. The wireless carrier may charge you fees, based on your cell plan, to receive our text messages. Please contact your wireless provider for more information.

Do we use ‘cookies’ and/or ‘pixels’? 

Yes. We use both website cookies and third-party website pixels (Facebook, Google, and Ontraport).  

Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow via your own browser security settings) that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future. 

We use cookies to: 

• Understand and save user’s preferences for future visits. 
• Compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions in order to offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may also use trusted third-party services that track this information on our behalf. 

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings. Every browser is a little different, look at your browser’s Help Menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. 

If you turn cookies off, some features will be disabled. Turning off all cookies might affect the user experience that make websites more efficient and may not function properly. However, you will still be able to place orders. 

Website pixels are third party tracking technologies to gather data about a website user’s activities. 

With your permission, our website utilizes the Facebook pixel service of Facebook Inc. This tool allows us to follow the actions of users after they are redirected to a provider’s website by clicking a Facebook advertisement. We are thus able to record the efficacy of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes. Using this data allows us to improve our advertising for a better experience to users and also retarget you with further advertising on Facebook and the use of Custom Audiences. You can find out more information and/or revoke your permission from here: https://www.facebook.com/ads/website_custom_audiences/.  

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your Personally Identifiable Information unless we provide users with advance notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release information when it’s release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property or safety.

However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third-party products or services on our website. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online. We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur, we will notify the users via in-site notification within 7 business days.

We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
