Like many services, we employ cookies in certain areas of the Service to allow us to provide information to make your online experience more convenient and to enhance your experience with the Service.

For example, when you return to the Service after logging in, cookies provide information so that the Service will remember who you are on subsequent visits, tailoring content on the Service to you. Cookies are not spyware or adware, and can’t deliver viruses or run programs on your computer.

Cookies are also necessary for operating portions of the Service. You may configure your web browsers to accept or reject or delete the cookies, or notify yourself when a cookie is being set. If you do that, however, the Service may not function as expected or may not function at all.

For more information, read our Cookie Policy here.

Transfers of your personal data

Our headquarters is in the United States.

No matter where you live, by using the Service you consent to the processing and transfer of your personal data in and to none. This processing will be under the privacy policies of third parties that we share personal data with.

The laws of these countries governing data collection and use may not be as comprehensive or protective as the laws of the country where you live.

If you would like more information, please contact us (see “How to contact us” below).

Additionally, we reserve the right to transfer any personal data in our possession if we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets. This includes a reorganization, merger, dissolution, or liquidation. If any of the foregoing occurs, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to direct the party that we transfer any personal data to, to use it in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.

EU Residents’ Rights

We are regulated under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which applies across the European Union (including in the United Kingdom). We are responsible as a controller of personal data for GDPR purposes.

Your rights as an EU resident:

Under the GDPR, EU residents have several important rights:

  • You can request a copy of your personal data
  • You can ask us to correct that personal data, delete it, or request that we use it only for certain purposes.
  • If you’ve consented to our processing, you can change your mind and ask us to stop using your personal data. For example, you can unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time – just click the link in each marketing email.
  • In some circumstances, you can ask us not to use automated processing or profiling about you.

If you would like to exercise any of those rights, please email us at [email protected]. We may ask for additional info to verify that you’re the owner of that data.

Also, in some cases where the law requires it, we may not be able to help with the above requests.

California Residents’ Rights

We are regulated under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which applies to California residents.

Under the CCPA, California residents have several important rights:

Right to Know: You can ask us what personal data we hold about you and request a copy. This includes:

  • The type and specific pieces of personal data we have collected
  • The types of sources we collect the data from
  • The purpose for collecting your personal data
  • The third parties we share that data with

Right to Delete: You can request that we erase your personal data. There are some exceptions to this right, if we:

  • Need to complete the transaction for which the personal data was collected or if there is an ongoing business relationship or contract with you
  • Detect security incidents and protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity
  • Need to identify and repair errors affecting Service functionality
  • Exercise free speech or ensure another consumer can exercise (or another lawful right)
  • Need to comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act
  • Engage in research in the public interest
  • Enable solely internal uses that are in line with your expectations for using your personal data
  • Need to comply with a legal obligation

Otherwise use your personal data internally, in a way that’s compatible with the reason we collected it in the first place.

Sale of your personal data: We don’t sell any of your personal data for any purposes.

Other Rights: California residents also have the right to request information about our disclosure of personal data to third parties for direct marketing purposes during the calendar year before your request. This request is free and may be made only once a year.

We also won’t discriminate against you for exercising any of the rights listed above.

If you would like to exercise any of those rights, please email us at [email protected]. We may ask for additional info to verify that you’re the owner of that data.

Data security and protection

We have taken steps and put security measures in place to prevent the accidental loss or misuse of personal data, and will take all reasonable steps to make sure that your personal data is treated and stored securely.

For example, we limit access to those who have a genuine business need. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorized manner.

We use other security measures, as well, including:

  • Encryption at rest
  • Encryption in transit
  • Firewall
  • Intrusion detection system
  • Regular backups
  • Role-based access controls

Resolving Disputes

We hope that we can resolve any questions or concerns you raise about our use of your personal data.

Please contact us at [email protected] to let us know if you have questions or concerns. We will do our best to resolve the issue.

For EU residents, the GDPR also gives you right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. You may do this in the EEA state where you live, work, or where any alleged infringement occurred.

How will we notify you of changes?

We may make further updates from time to time. If we have your email address on file, we will inform you via email. Otherwise, we will post a message on the Service about the change.
