Brain Break Privacy policy

Here at Brain Break and Hollerith Technologies, we are not in the business of collecting and selling your information. Thus we want to keep your information as private as possible. Here is a summary of our policy: 

We collect the information you input into Brain Break. This includes article/quiz performance, how many times an article/quiz is viewed, and how many times a link on an article is clicked. All of this information is collected in an aggregate form (“non-Personal Information”), meaning that all of the data is anonymous and there is no singling out any individual or specific group of accounts/users. All other information is not collected except for your account information asked during sign-up (i.e., account/profile names, payment information, email, phone number etc.). Any non-Personal Information we will share with our content curators so the content we share with you can be improved, no Personal Information will be shared with a third party unless there is legal action being taken. 

To reiterate, at Hollerith we are not here to make money from selling your information. All we want to do is provide people with a way to self-regulate and expose themselves to the full breadth of topics the world has to offer. 

A. Information You Provide.

Hollerith may collect information you provide directly to Hollerith via the Brain Break application. For example, Hollerith collects information when you register for Brain Break, subscribe to notification, or transact with Hollerith through Brain Break. In addition, when you interact with Content Curator Services (defined below), you may be able to provide information to those content curators.

(2) non-personal information, such as (to the extent permitted by applicable law) your interests (“non-personal information”. In addition, personal information, including without limitation, Hollerith collected Personal Information, once “de-identified” (i.e., the removal of personal identifies from data or other mans to make it no longer reasonably identifiable and no attempt made to reidentify the information to an individual) is also non-Personal Information and may be used and shared without obligation to you, except as prohibited by applicable law. To the extent any non-personal information is combined by or on behalf of Hollerith with Personal Information Hollerith itself collects directly from you on Brain Break, Hollerith will treat the combined data as Hollerith-Collected Personal information under this Privacy Policy.

Your contact information and message may be included in the communication.

These Curator services may use their own cookies, web beacons, and other Tracking Technology to independently collect information about you and may solicit Personal Information from you. Their privacy policies apply in such cases, and not this Privacy Policy. 

Hollerith is not responsible for and makes no representations regarding the policies or business practices of any third parties, including, without limitation, Curator Services associated with Brain Break, and encourages you to familiarize yourself with and consult their privacy policies and terms or use.

If you do not consent to these conditions, you must discontinue you use of Brain Break.
