2. Information We Collect Through Automated Means

National Self Reliance Initiative and our services providers (third-party companies that work on our behalf) use a variety
of technologies to assist in collecting information about your use of the Services and the devices you use
to access the Services.

Visitor Data. When you use our Website, we collect information that will help us understand and
analyze your experience interacting with our Services. For example, we may collect information related to
domain names, the type of browsers used to access the Services, operating system software, browser plug-ins,
cookie preferences, search engine keywords, the pages you viewed and amount of time spent on particular
pages, terms you use in you searches on our Website, and similar information.

Location Information. When you use the Services, we and our service providers may automatically
collect general location information (e.g., IP address, city/state and or postal code associated with an IP
address) from your computer or mobile device. This information allows us to enable access to content that
varies based on a user’s general location (e.g., to provide you with accurate sales tax information and to
deliver content customized to your location).

Cookies. “Cookies” are a feature in your browser software. If enabled, we, or our service
providers, may write cookies that may store small amounts of data on your computer about your visit to any
of the pages of the Website. Cookies assist us in tracking which of our features appeal the most to you and
what content you may have viewed on past visits. When you visit this Website again, cookies can enable us to
customize our content according to your preferences.

We may use cookies to:

1. - keep track of the number of return visits to this Website;
  - accumulate and report aggregate, statistical information on Website usage;
  - deliver specific content to you based on your interests or past viewing history; and
  - save your password for ease of access to the Website.

You can disable cookies, although the Website may not function properly for you. Your browser preferences
can be modified to accept or reject all cookies, or request a notification when a cookie is set. You may
read more about cookies at http://cookiecentral.com. In order to use
all of the features and functionality of National Self Reliance Initiative’s Website, you need to accept cookies.

Web Beacons. A web beacon, sometimes called a tracking pixels, is a programming code that can be
used to display an image on a web page, but can also be used to transfer your unique user identification to
a database and associate you with previously acquired information about an individual in a database. This
allows National Self Reliance Initiative and our third-party service providers to track certain websites you visit. Web beacons are used to track online behavioral habits for marketing purposes to determine products or services
you may be interested in. In addition to using web beacons on web pages, we also use web beacons in email
messages sent to individuals listed in National Self Reliance Initiative’s database.

Other Online Tools. National Self Reliance Initiative may also use a web server log or an SDK. A webserver log is
a file where website activity is stored. An SDK is a set of tools and/or code that we embed in our software
to allow third parties to collect information about how people interact with our Services.

As we continue to develop the Website and our Services, National Self Reliance Initiative may implement additional methods
to gather information about the National Self Reliance Initiative community.

1. Information We Collect From Social Media and other Content Platforms

National Self Reliance Initiative maintains a presence on a variety of social media platforms. When you “like” or “follow”
us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or other social media platforms, we may collect some information about
you. This information includes your name, email address, any comments or content you post that is relevant
to National Self Reliance Initiative. We also collect your information if you sign up for a promotion and submit
information to us through one of our social media accounts.

National Self Reliance Initiative also maintains several blogs as a part of its Services. When you comment or post content
to any of our blogs, we will collect your name and email address.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

The following paragraphs describe how National Self Reliance Initiative uses your information in connection with our Services.

General Use. National Self Reliance Initiative will use your information as necessary to carry out and manage its
Services. This includes, using your information to verify and administer your account, including processing
payments and fulfilling orders (if applicable). We will use your information to communicate with you about National Self Reliance Initiative’
Services, your use of the Services or your inquiries related to the Services. National Self Reliance Initiative
will use your information to ensure that content from our Services is presented in the most effective
manner for you and for your computer or device, allow you to participate in interactive features of our Services
(when you choose to do so), and as part of our efforts to keep our Services safe and secure.

Improve National Self Reliance Initiative’ Services. National Self Reliance Initiative continuously seeks to improve its Services.
To do so, we conduct research to understand the effectiveness of our Services, improve our Services, and to
better understand the National Self Reliance Initiative community. If we publish the results of our research to others, such
research will be presented in a de-identified and aggregate form such that individual users cannot be
identified.

Promotional Communications. We will use your personal information to communicate with you by email,
postal mail, phone, or text message about surveys, promotions, special events or our products and Services and
those of our affiliates or third-party partners, and any of their related businesses. By creating an account and
using this Website, you are giving your express permission to National Self Reliance Initiative and their agents or vendors
the right to contact you with targeted advertising materials by email, text message (SMS), telephone or
cellphone, including the use of automated, predictive, programmable, or similar (“robodialers”) dialers or
dialing software, or any other means of communication to provide promotional offers. To the extent applicable,
you expressly acknowledge that you are solely responsible for all charges billed by your mobile service
provider. If you no longer wish to receive promotional communications by email, please follow the unsubscribe
link located at the end of the email message.

Marketing/Performance Analysis & Data Analytics. We will use your information to help us better
understand your interests and needs, such as by engaging in analysis and research regarding use of the Services.
We may use your information to measure or understand the effectiveness of advertising and content we serve to
you and others, and to deliver and customize relevant advertising and content to you.

Combined Information. For the purposes discussed in this Privacy Policy, we may combine the information
that we collect through the Services with information that we receive from other sources, both online and
offline, and use and share such combined information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Aggregate/De-Identified Data. We may aggregate and/or de-identify any information collected through the
Services so that such information can no longer be linked to you or your device (“Aggregate/De-Identified
Information”). We may use Aggregate/De-Identified Information for any purpose, including for research and
marketing purposes, and may also share such data with any third parties, including advertisers, promotional
partners, and sponsors.

DATA ANALYTICS AND ADVERTISING

1. Data Analytics

We may use third-party web analytics services (such as those of Google Analytics (including Google Signals,
Google User-ID, and other Google Analytics features) and MixPanel) on our Services to collect and analyze
usage information through cookies and similar tools; engage in auditing, research, or reporting; assist with
fraud prevention; try to locate the same unique users across multiple browsers or devices to better tailor
services and features; and provide certain features to you. If you have a Google account with personalized
advertising enabled, through Google Signals, Google will also be able to gather for us analytics and
engagement information from across the various devices you use to access the Services. To prevent Google
from using your information for analytics (including cross-device tracking for personalization purposes),
you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here. And to opt out of Google Signals,
please open your “Settings” app, locate and tap “Google,” select “Ads,” and turn ON “Opt out of Ads
Personalization.” You may also be able to disable cross-device tracking through your Android or Apple
device-based settings.

If you receive email from us, we may use certain analytics tools, such as clear GIFs to capture data such as
when you open our message or click on any links or banners our email contains. This data allows us to gauge
the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns.

1. Online Advertising

The Services may integrate third-party advertising technologies (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as
Facebook, Google Ad Words, Criteo and others) that use cookies and other technologies to deliver relevant
content and advertising for products on the Services, as well as on other websites you visit and other
applications you use. The ads may be based on various factors such as the content of the page you are
visiting, information you enter such as your searches, demographic data, and other information we collect
from you. These ads may be based on your current activity or your activity over time and across other
websites and online services.

We sometimes provide our customer information (such as email addresses) to service providers, who may
“match” this information in de-identified form to cookies (or mobile ad identifiers) and other proprietary
IDs, in order to provide you with more relevant ads when you visit other websites and mobile applications.

We neither have access to, nor does this Privacy Policy govern, the use of cookies or other tracking
technologies that may be placed on your device you use to access the Services by non-affiliated third-party
advertising network services. If you are interested in more information about tailored browser advertising
and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer to deliver tailored advertising,
you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link, the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer
Opt-Out link, or the Your Online Choices link to opt-out of receiving tailored
advertising from companies that participate in those programs. If you are interested in more information
about Criteo’s privacy practices or opting-out of Criteo’s advertising services, you may view their Privacy
Policy. To opt out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize Google display network ads,
visit the Google Ads Settings page. We do not control these opt-out links or whether any particular company
chooses to participate in these opt-out programs. We are not responsible for any choices you make using
these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms.

Please note that if you exercise the opt-out choices above, you will still see advertising when you use the
Services, but it will not be tailored to you based on your online behavior over time.

1. Mobile Advertising

When using mobile applications from us or others, you may also receive tailored in-application
advertisements. We may use third-party service providers to deliver advertisements on mobile applications or
for mobile application analytics. Each operating system, iOS for Apple phones, Android for Android devices,
and Windows for Microsoft devices provides its own instructions on how to prevent the delivery of tailored
in-application advertisements. We do not control how the applicable platform operator allows you to control
receiving personalized in-application advertisements; thus, you should contact the platform provider for
further details on opting out of tailored in-application advertisements. You may review the support
materials and/or the device settings for the respective operating systems to opt-out of tailored in-app
advertisements.

1. Email Marketing

By submitting your email address through the Website, you are expressly consenting to receive emails from
National Self Reliance Initiative, including from National Self Reliance Initiative’s affiliates, and from third parties concerning
offers and advertisements unrelated to National Self Reliance Initiative. To opt-out of receiving email messages from us,
from our affiliates or from other third parties, click on the “Unsubscribe” link contained in each email.
Please allow up to 10 business days for us to process your request. Please note if you decide not to receive
marketing emails from us, you may still receive transactional email messages regarding your order(s) (i.e.,
order confirmation, shipping information, etc.). If you have questions or concerns regarding this provision,
please contact us at [email protected].

1. Notice Concerning Do Not Track

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. We are committed to
providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our website for third-party
purposes, and that is why we provide the variety of opt-out mechanisms listed above. However, we do not
currently recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals. To learn more about Do Not Track, you can
do so here.

HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

National Self Reliance Initiative may share your information in the following ways:

Affiliates & Related Business Entities. We may share the information we collect with our affiliates or
related business entities for the purposes of delivering products or services to you, ensuring a consistent
level of service, and to enhance our products, services, and your customer experience.

Service Providers and Third-Party Vendors. We provide access to or share your information with select
third parties who use the information to perform services on our behalf. They provide a variety of services to
us, including billing, sales, marketing, advertising, analytics, research, customer service, shipping and
fulfillment, data storage, IT and security, fraud prevention, payment processing, and auditing and legal
services.

Legal Compliance. By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that we may access, retain, and
disclose information we collect and maintain about you if reasonably necessary to comply with a subpoena or
court order, to enforce our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, or National Self Reliance Initiative’s legal rights.

Business Transfers. As National Self Reliance Initiative continues to grow, we may buy, merge, or partner with other
companies. In such transactions, your information may be among the assets that are transferred.

Public Forums. Certain features of our Services make it possible for you to share comments publicly
with other users. Any information that you submit through such features is not confidential, and we may use it
for any purpose (including in testimonials or other marketing materials). For example, if you submit a product
review on one of our Websites or blogs, we may display your review (along with the name provided, if any) on
other National Self Reliance Initiative websites and on third-party websites. Any information you post openly in these ways
will be available to the public at large and potentially accessible through third-party search engines.
Accordingly, please take care when using these features.

Aggregate/De-Identified Information. We reserve the right to create Aggregate/De-Identified Data from
the information we collect through the services and our sharing of such Aggregate/De-Identified Data is in our
sole discretion.

THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND CONTENT

The Website and email messages that you receive from National Self Reliance Initiative may sometimes contain hypertext links
to the websites of third parties. National Self Reliance Initiative is not responsible for the privacy practices or the
content of such other websites. Linked websites may contain links to websites maintained by third parties. Such
links are provided for your convenience and reference only. National Self Reliance Initiative does not operate or control in
any respect any information, software, products or services available on such third-party websites. The
inclusion of a link to a website does not imply any endorsement of the services or the site, its contents, or
its sponsoring organization.

DATA SECURITY

We will implement reasonable and appropriate security procedures consistent with prevailing industry standards
to protect data from unauthorized access by physical and electronic intrusion. Unfortunately, no data
transmission over the Internet or method of data storage can be guaranteed 100% secure. Therefore, while we
strive to protect your personal information by following generally accepted industry standards, we cannot ensure
or warrant the absolute security of any information you transmit to us or archive at this Website.

SUBMITTING INFORMATION FROM OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES

We control and operate the online and mobile resources from within the United States of America (the “U.S.”).
Information collected through the Website and Services may be stored and processed in the United States or any
other country in which we or our vendors maintain facilities. Although we do not actively block or monitor
visitors from other countries, the Website is directed only at visitors from the U.S. As such, this Privacy
Policy is consistent with U.S. law and practice and is not adapted to other laws (including European data
security and privacy laws). National Self Reliance Initiative will apply the applicable laws of the U.S. including as embodied
in this Privacy Policy in place of data protections under your home country’s law. That is, you freely and
unambiguously acknowledge that this Privacy Policy, not your home country’s laws, controls how we will collect,
store, process, and transfer your personal information. Similarly, the English language version of this Privacy
Policy is the controlling version regardless of any translation you may attempt.

DATA PRIVACY AND PROTECTION LAWS: THE CCPA AND GDPR

Privacy and data protection laws vary around the world and among the several United States. Some of those laws
are more specific than others. Most prominently, residents of California and data subjects whose personal
information was obtained from them while they were in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and
Switzerland have certain additional rights in cases where the party collecting that information is governed by
the applicable law. We have reviewed our business operations and data-related business practices with legal
counsel in the context of the General Data Protection Regulation under European Law also known as the “GDPR” and
the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”). As a result of that review, as of the effective date of this
Privacy Policy, we do not believe we are governed by either the GDPR or CCPA.

We do not, for instance, collect personal information from data subjects in the European Economic Area, United
Kingdom, or Switzerland or elsewhere abroad. Similarly, we do not target or tailor our Website or Services or
any of our other US-based business activities to appeal to, or specifically attempt to do business in those
jurisdictions. In terms of California, although we may do business within the state, we do not meet any of the
various statutory thresholds and criteria that would bring us under the CCPA.

For general visitors, consumers and regulators who have questions about whether or how the GDPR, CCPA or other
industry- or jurisdiction-specific laws apply to us, you can contact us using the contact information below.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Federal law imposes special restrictions and obligations on commercial website operators who direct their
operations toward, and collect and use information from children under the age of 13. We take those age-related
requirements very seriously, and, consistent with them, do not intend for our Website or Services to be used by
children under the age of 18, and certainly not by anyone under the age of 13. Moreover, we do not knowingly
collect personal information from minors under the age of 18. If we become aware that anyone under the age of 18
has submitted personal information to us via our Website or Services, we will delete that information and not
use it for any purpose whatsoever. We encourage parents and legal guardians to talk with their children about
the potential risks of providing personal information over the Internet.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT

We reserve the right to change or update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Please check our Website
periodically for such changes since all information collected is subject to the Privacy Policy in place at the
time of collection. Typically, we will indicate the effective/amendment date at the beginning of this Privacy
Policy. If we feel it is appropriate, or if the law requires, we’ll also provide a summary of changes we’ve made
near the end of the new Privacy Policy.
