Commonwealth Joe LLC ("Commonwealth Joe" or "we" or "us") created this privacy policy (this "Privacy Policy") in order to disclose how we use information we collect from users via the Commonwealth Joe website located at www.commonwealthjoe.com (the "Website"). Because we gather important information from our users, visitors, subscribers and customers (collectively "Users" or "you" or "your"), we have established this Privacy Policy as a means to communicate our information gathering and dissemination practices. By accessing the Website, you acknowledge and agree to this Privacy Policy.
Please note: When you submit your Personal Information on or through the Website, you are giving your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. We may share information among our subsidiaries or sites that we own or control, but such sharing of information is always governed under the terms of this Privacy Policy.
The Privacy Policy describes Commonwealth Joe’s privacy practices only. It does not describe, and Commonwealth Joe makes no representations about, the privacy practices of any other parties, including Commonwealth Joe’s customers, who may receive, generate, or otherwise obtain personal information via the use of Commonwealth Joe’s products or services.
Commonwealth Joe reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove portions of this Privacy Policy at any time. If Commonwealth Joe changes any portions of its Privacy Policy, the changes will be updated on this Privacy Policy page and Users should periodically review our Privacy Policy page for any such changes.

When you view the Website, we may store some information on your computer's hard drive. This information will be in the form of a "Cookie." "Cookies" are information files which your web browser places on your computer when you visit a web site. Commonwealth Joe uses cookies and session IDs to authenticate a User as he or she navigates various parts of the Website. Cookies and session IDs may also be used to automate data entry functions.

DISCLOSURE OF USER INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES
In addition to the use of information described above, Commonwealth Joe reserves the right to disclose information provided by Users (including Personal Information) as follows:
Disclosure By Law. You acknowledge and agree that we may disclose information you provide if required to do so by law, at the request of a third party, or if we, in our sole discretion, believe that disclosure is reasonable to (1) comply with the law, requests or orders from law enforcement, or any legal process (whether or not such disclosure is required by applicable law); (2) protect or defend Commonwealth Joe’s, or a third party’s, rights or property; or (3) protect someone’s health or safety, such as when harm or violence against any person (including you) is threatened.
Disclosure to Protect Abuse Victims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this privacy statement, we reserve the right, but have no obligation, to disclose any information that you submit to the Website, if in our sole opinion, we suspect or have reason to suspect, that the information involves a party who may be the victim of abuse in any form.

Information may be disclosed to authorities that we, in our sole discretion, deem appropriate to handle such disclosure.

Your information will be treated as private and confidential by such service providers and not used for any other purpose than we authorize.
Data/Information Transfer As a Result of Sale of Business. In the event that Commonwealth Joe is involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, Commonwealth Joe reserves the right to sell or transfer User information (including Personal Information) as part of any such transaction. To the maximum extent allowable by law, the Privacy Policy will apply to the User information as transferred to the successor entity. However, User information submitted after a transfer to a successor entity may be subject to a new privacy policy adopted by the successor entity.
WEBSITE SECURITY
Please note that data that is transported over an open network, such as the Internet or e-mail, may be accessible to anybody. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted via such open networks. When disclosing any personal information via an open network, you should remain mindful of the fact that it is potentially accessible to others, and consequently, can be collected and used by others without your consent. In particular, while individual data packets are often encrypted, the names of the sender and recipient are not. A third party may therefore be able to trace an existing bank account or relationship or one that is subsequently created. Even if both the sender and recipient are located in the same country data may also be transmitted via such networks to other countries regularly and without controls, including to countries that do not afford the same level of data protection as your country of domicile.
Password-protected areas of the Website can be accessed only with a valid user name and password. Each password owner is responsible for keeping the password confidential and safe, as Commonwealth Joe has no control or responsibility for this type of User information. If the password may have been stolen or might otherwise be misused, it is the responsibility of the password owner to notify Commonwealth Joe immediately for further action.
Your data may be lost during transmission or may be accessed by unauthorized parties. We do not accept any liability for direct or indirect losses as regards the security of your Personal Information or data during its transfer via Internet. Please use other means of communication if you think this is necessary or prudent for security reasons.
INTERNATIONAL USERS
The Website and the Service are exclusively hosted in the United States. If you are a User accessing the Website or the Service from the European Union, Australia, Asia, or any other region with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use, and disclosure, that differ from United States laws, please note that you are transferring your personal data to the United States which does not have the same data protection laws as such other regions. User information (including Personal Information or "personal data" as defined by foreign laws) collected through the Website or the Service may be stored and processed in the United States, and by using the Website, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your home country.
