Tremendous Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 1, 2023

Welcome to our website. Your privacy is important to us and we value the trust you place in us.

Tremendous provides various reward, incentive and other products and services (“Client Services”) to corporate clients (our “Clients”), and our Clients provide these rewards, incentives and other products (“Rewards”) and services to individuals (“Recipients”) for redemption.

This Privacy Policy describes the types of information that Tremendous, LLC (“Tremendous”, “us” or “we”) collects, uses and discloses as a “controller” or “business” about (i) employees and representatives of current, past and prospective Clients (“Authorized Users”), including in relation to their use of the Client Services (ii) Recipients who choose to redeem Rewards received from one of our Clients, (iii) individuals who use our website at www.tremendous.com, or other websites we operate and link to this Privacy Policy, (collectively, the “Site”) or otherwise interact with us, including via email or through other applications, services, tools, and features that we offer, and (iv) individuals who apply for a job with Tremendous (collectively, our “Services”). For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “you” and “your” means you as the user of the Services, whether you are a Client, Authorized User, Recipient, website visitor, job applicant, or another individual whose information we have collected pursuant to this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy sets forth our policy with respect to the collection, use and disclosure of information that is collected through the Services. By using or accessing the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, and agree to the data collection, use, disclosure and storage practices described in this Privacy Policy. For the purpose of applicable data protection laws, we are the “business” or “controller.”

This Privacy Policy does not apply to our collection, use and sharing of information about Recipients that we receive directly from one of our Clients when providing the Client Services. In those circumstances, Tremendous is generally a “data processor” or “service provider” under applicable data privacy laws, and not a “controller” or “business”, and we only process and use the data in accordance with the documented instructions of our Client, and strictly on their behalf, subject to our agreement and data processing addendum entered into with our Client. Our Clients are solely responsible for meeting any legal requirements applicable to “data controllers” or “businesses” (such as establishing a legal basis for processing and responding to data subject rights requests). If you have any questions about the Client Services and your use of data by our Clients, please reach out to the relevant Client directly.

Tremendous works with financial institutions, and may disclose certain information to them, in order to facilitate the redemption of some Rewards. Due to the requirements of such financial rules and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws, Tremendous may not be able to delete your information, even upon your request.

  2. Information We Collect Automatically and Cookie Policy:

    As is true of most Web sites, we automatically gather information about your computer such as your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, referring/exit pages, and operating system.

    Like many other Web sites, we also may use cookies (small text files that a website saves on your computer or device when you visit the Site), web beacons, pixel tags, log files or other technologies (“Cookies”), including Google Analytics, to automatically collect certain information about how you use our Services and interact with our emails and Site. This information may include:

    • Device information: IP address, device identifiers, mobile device identifier, Media Access Control address, operating system, device model software version, mobile or ISP carrier information.

    • Browser information: Browser type.

    • Location information: Approximate location (based on IP address).

    • Other information regarding your interaction with the Services and Site: Statistics on your Site views, traffic to and from our Site, referral URL, ad data, how you search for our Services, the websites you click on from our Site or emails, whether and when you open forward or click-through our emails and ads, domain name from which you accessed the Site, date and time you access the Site, areas or pages of the Site that you visit, amount of time you spend on the Site, and the number of times you return to the Site

    How we use Cookies. We use Cookies to help us provide and improve the Services (such as remembering your choices and settings and facilitate automated activity), to verify your account, remember your actions, settings and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences), assist you with storing and tracking your passwords (so you don’t have to keep re-entering them), and to help us review and better understand how people use our Services. We use different types of Cookies on our Site:

    • Session Cookies – These allow websites to link the actions of a user during a browser session, and may be used for a variety of purposes. These session Cookies expire after a browser session so would not be stored longer term. For this reason session Cookies may sometimes be considered less privacy intrusive than persistent Cookies.

    • Persistent Cookies – These are stored on a users' device in between browser sessions which allows the preferences or actions of the user across a site (or in some cases across different websites) to be remembered. Persistent Cookies may be used for a variety of purposes including remembering users' preferences and choices when using a site or to target advertising.

    • First and third party Cookies – Whether a Cookie is 'first' or 'third' party refers to the website or domain placing the Cookie. First party Cookies in basic terms are Cookies set by a website visited by the user - the website displayed in the URL window. Third party Cookies are Cookies that are set by a domain other than the one being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and a separate company sets a Cookie through that website this would be a third party Cookie. We allow third parties such as Google, Facebook, Segment, Bing and LinkedIn to use Cookies to collect information from the Site and elsewhere on the Internet (including your browsing activity across other websites) and use that information to provide analytics and measurement services and tailored advertising.

    Tracking Options and Cookie Preferences. Cookies can expire at the end of a browser session (from when a user opens the browser window to when they exit the browser) or they can be stored for longer. You may adjust your browser or operating system settings to allow all Cookies or perform the following functions: delete all Cookies; block all Cookies; block third party Cookies; clear all Cookies when you close the browser; open a ‘private browsing’/‘incognito’ session (which allows you to browse the Internet without storing local data); and install add ons and plug ins to extend browser functionality. However, by doing so, you may not be able to use certain features or take full advantage of all of our offerings. You can find information about how to control Cookies as follows: Microsoft Edge Cookies information; Chrome Cookies information; Firefox Cookies information; Safari Cookies information; Opera Cookies information. Check the “Help” menu of your browser or operating system to learn how to adjust your tracking settings or Cookie preferences.

To opt out of Google Analytics, you may also download Google’s opt-out browser add-on here. The Internet Advertising Bureau website allows you to install opt-out Cookies across different advertising networks, see here. New technologies such as Mozilla allow you to tell websites not to track you, please click here. On your mobile device, you can adjust your privacy and advertising settings to limit your tracking for advertising or control whether you receive more relevant advertising. By choosing to continue to use this site without changing your Cookie setting, we will assume that you are consenting to receiving Cookies.
