Thank
you for using AccuRips LLC services. We are
committed to protecting your privacy and, for that reason, we have adopted this
Privacy Policy to explain our data collection, use, and disclosure practices
for the AccuRips LLC services (including its website,
and mobile and web-based applications, and any other tools, products, or
services provided by AccuRips LLC that link to or
reference this Privacy Policy) (collectively, the “Services”). The
Services are owned and operated by AccuRips LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“AccuRips”, “we”, “us” or “our”).
This
Privacy Policy applies to information AccuRips
collects through the Services, as well as other information provided to us
online or offline by third parties, when we associate that information with
customers or users of the Services; however, it does not apply to information
collected from our employees, contractors, or vendors. It also does not
apply to information that you ask us to share with third parties or is
collected by Online Tool Providers (as further described below). You
acknowledge and agree that AccuRips is not
responsible for the data collection or use practices of any other user of the
Services or a third party utilized in providing the Services.
This
Privacy Policy describes, among other things:
- Personal and other information we collect about you;
- How we use your information;
- How we may share your information with third parties;
- Your choices regarding the personal information we
collect about you.
1. Consent
By
accessing or using the Services, you consent to this Privacy Policy. If
you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use the
Services. Information gathered through the Services may be transferred,
used, and stored in the United States or in other countries where our service
providers or we are located. If you use the Services, you agree to the
transfer, use, and storage of your Personal Information (as defined below) in
those countries. The data protection and other laws of the United States and
other countries might not be as comprehensive as those in your country. You
agree that all transactions relating to the Services or AccuRips
are deemed to occur in the United States, where our servers are located.
2. Collection of Your Personal and Other Information
When
you register for, or use our Services, we collect Personal Information.
By “Personal Information” we mean information that can identify or
reasonably be linked to an individual, such as:
- Names;
- Personal or business addresses;
- Email addresses;
- Phone numbers;
- Credit card information (which you submit for
payment purposes and which is collected by our
third party payment gateway service provider);
- Information contained in any image, photograph or
profile you submit to us.
Our
Services may integrate with social media and identity verification platforms,
including Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, or Instagram. When
you connect such an account to our Services, then we may collect information
about that social media account and share information with that social media
account as described in the connection process. This collected information may
include, but is not limited to, your name, email address, demographic
information from your profile, friend lists, postings or other content, and
your profile picture. You acknowledge and agree that AccuRips
is not responsible for the data collection or use practices of any such
connected social media platform. You should read each social media
platform’s privacy policy before connecting that social media account.
Certain
aspects of the Services may also access certain features of your mobile device,
including its camera, location services (GPS), microphone, or contacts, and may
collect information from those features, such as photographs, videos, your
precise location, audio recordings, and contact information. You consent
to this access.
We
also collect user experience recordings, which reproduce your interactions with
the Services, including mouse movements, page scrolling, and information you
type (including Personal Information), screen taps, and other actions you take
while using the Services. Recordings may include technical and usage
data, as well as visual representations of actions you take while using the
Services. We use these recordings to help us understand how users interact with
our Services and to design a better user experience for you.
You
may choose not to provide Personal Information or prevent the Services from
accessing certain features of your mobile device, (subject to the controls
offered by your mobile device’s operating system), but this may prevent you
from receiving certain features of the Services.
We
also collect non-Personal Information relating to the Services, that is,
information that does not personally identify an individual (“Non-Personal
Information”). The Non-Personal Information we collect includes how you
interact with the Services, information generally collected or “logged” by
Internet websites or Internet services when accessed or used by users, and
information about your web browser or device accessing or using the Services.
Examples
of the Non-Personal Information we collect are:
- The pages of our app or website that you viewed
during a visit or the features of the our
mobile app you use;
- What information, content or advertisements you
view or interact with using the Services;
- Language preferences;
- The city and state in which you are located (but
not your precise geographic location);
- Unique identifiers that are not connected and
cannot reasonably be connected to your identity.
We
will not use Non-Personal Information to try to identify you, and if we
associate any Non-Personal Information with information that personally
identifies you, then we will treat it as Personal Information. As discussed in
more detail below, we sometimes use cookies and other automatic information
gathering technologies to gather Non-Personal Information.
Information
collected by the Services may be collected by us or one of our Service
Providers or Online Tool Providers.
3. Use of Your Information
We
may use the information we collect to:
- Assist us in providing, maintaining, and
protecting the Services;
- Set up, maintain, and protect accounts to use the Services;
- Improve our online operations;
- Process transactions;
- Provide customer service;
- Communicate with you, such as provide you with
account- or transaction-related communications, or other newsletters, RSS
feeds, and/or other communications relating to the Services;
- Communicate with you, such as provide you with
account- or transaction-related communications, or other newsletters, RSS
feeds, and/or other communications relating to the Services;
- Send or display offers and other content that is
customized to your interests or preferences;
- Perform research and analysis aimed at improving
our products and services and developing new products or services;
- Manage and maintain the systems that provide the
Services.
4. Disclosure of Your Information
We
may disclose your Personal Information to third parties as described below.
We
may disclose Personal Information to provide the Services, or when you
authorize or instruct us to do so, for example when you use the Services to
submit content or profile information. The Services are a social experience, so
we may disclose your interactions with the Services to social media platforms,
as described in Section 2, above. We may also disclose Personal
Information and Non-Personal Information to Service Providers. By
“Service Providers” we mean companies, agents, contractors, service providers,
or others engaged to perform functions on our behalf (such as processing of
payments, provision of data storage, hosting of our website, marketing of our
products and services, and conducting audits). When we use a Service
Provider, we require that the Service Provider use and disclose the Personal
Information and Non-Personal Information received from us only to provide their
services to us or as required by applicable law.
We
may also disclose Personal Information and Non-Personal Information to Online
Tool Providers. By “Online Tool Provider” we mean a licensor of software
that we include in, or use with, the Services, including an API or SDK, that
provides a specialized function or service to us and that requires the
transmission of Personal Information and/or Non-Personal Information to the
Online Tool Provider. Online Tool Providers may have the right to use
Personal Information and Non-Personal Information about you for their own
business purposes. Use and disclosure of Personal Information and
Non-Personal Information by an Online Tool Provider is described in its privacy
policy. See Section 5 below for some of the key Online Tool Providers we
use.
We
may partner with advertisers to provide you with special offers, or to
advertise products or services to you. If you redeem or respond to an
offer, we may provide your Personal Information to the advertising partner,
including your name, email address, gender, and year of birth. If you answer
questions or fill out surveys from an advertiser, we may share information with
that advertiser. The advertising partner’s privacy policy will govern their use
of your information, which may include marketing of other products or services
to you. You should read each advertiser’s privacy policy before providing
information to that advertiser.
We
may also disclose your Personal Information to third parties when we believe,
in good faith and in our sole discretion, that such disclosure is reasonably
necessary to (a) enforce or apply the terms and conditions of the Services,
including investigation of potential violations thereof, (b) comply with legal
or regulatory requirements or an enforceable governmental request, (c) protect
the rights, property or safety of us, our users or other third parties, (d)
prevent a crime or protect national security, or (e) detect, prevent or
otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.
We
reserve the right to transfer information (including your Personal Information)
to a third party in the event of a sale, merger, or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of our company
relating to the Services, or in the unlikely event of a bankruptcy,
liquidation, or receivership of our business. We will use commercially
reasonable efforts to notify you of such transfer, for example via email or by
posting notice on our website.
Lastly,
we may also disclose Non-Personal Information, aggregated with information
about our other users, to our clients, business partners, merchants,
advertisers, investors, potential buyers and other third parties if we deem
such disclosure, in our sole discretion, to have sound business reasons or
justifications.
5. Cookies and Automatic Information Gathering
Technologies
Every
time you use the Services (e.g., access a Service webpage, navigate to a
specific location within the Service mobile app), we collect Personal
Information and Non-Personal Information (discussed above in Section 2)
regarding that use. For example, to improve our Services, we collect how,
when, and which parts of the Services or its features you use, which social
media platforms you connect to the Services, and when, how, and what you post
to the social media platforms through the Service app. Also, we may use
your device’s unique identifier (UDID) or other unique identifiers to assist us
in collecting and analyzing this data.
To
assist us in collecting and storing this Non-Personal Information, we may
employ a variety of technologies, including “Cookies,” local browser storage,
and “web beacons,” “pixels,” or “tags.” A “Cookie” is a small amount of
data a website operator, or a third party whose content is embedded in that
website, may store in your web browser and that the website operator or, as
applicable, the third party, can access when you visit the website. A web
beacon, pixel or tag is a small, usually transparent image or script placed on
a web page that allows the operator of that image or script, which may be the
operator of the website you visit or a third party, to read or write a Cookie.
Your
operating system and web browser may allow you to erase information stored in
Cookies and local browser storage. But if you do so, you may be forced to login
to the Services again and you may lose some preferences or settings. You
may also be able to set your browser to refuse all website storage or to
indicate when it is permitted, but some features of our Services may not
function properly without it. We may use Cookies to keep you logged in,
save your preferences for the Services, and to collect information about how
you use our Services.
To
learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for your local browser
storage, please refer to the end user documentation for your browser.
An
Online Tool Provider may collect information automatically, in which case
Personal Information and Non-Personal Information it receives are subject to
the Online Tool Provider’s privacy policy. Some Online Tool Providers may
allow you to opt out of certain collection and/or uses of your information.
You can read more here: Google Analytics.
6. Transparency and Choice; Do Not Track Signals
You
may request access to your Personal Information by sending an email to support@accurips.com.
We will try to locate and provide you with your Personal Information and give
you the opportunity to correct this data, if it is inaccurate, or to delete it,
at your request. But, in either case, we may need to retain it for legal
reasons or for legitimate business purposes. You may also remove any content
that you post to the Services using the deletion or removal options within the
Service. However, we (and you) are not able to control information that
you have already shared with other users or made available to third parties
through the Services.
If
you need further assistance with removing any content you posted through the
Services, you can email us at support@accurips.com.
Removal of your posted content may not ensure complete or comprehensive
removal from our computer systems.
We
ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be
accessed, corrected, or removed before processing such requests, and we may
decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic,
require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others,
would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information
residing on backups), or relate to information that is not associated with your
Personal Information. In any case, where we provide information access
and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so
would require a disproportionate effort.
Please
be aware that if you ask us to delete your Personal Information,
you may not be able to continue to use the Services. Also, even if you
request that we delete your Personal Information, we may need to retain certain
information for a limited period of time to satisfy
our legal, audit and/or dispute resolution requirements.
We
may use third-party service providers that collect information for
interest-based advertising purposes (advertisements that are tailored to your
likely interests, based on categories in which you have shown an interest).
To learn more about these third parties and the choices they offer users,
please visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s choices page or
the Digital Advertising Alliance’s choices page.
If you are reading this Privacy Policy from a mobile device, you can
learn more about the DAA's mobile choices program here.
We
support the development and implementation of a standard "do not
track" browser feature that provides customers with control over the collection
and use of information about their web-browsing activities. Once a standardized
"do not track" feature is released, we intend to adhere to the
browser settings accordingly.
You
can opt out of receiving marketing e-mails from us by clicking on the
“unsubscribe” link in the e-mails. Please note that it may take up to ten
(10) business days for your opt-out request to be
processed. Also, even if you opt out of marketing e-mails, we may
continue to send you certain account-related e-mails, such as notices about
your account and confirmations of transactions you have requested.
7. Residents of California, Nevada, or Canada
Residents
of California
You
may have heard of the California Consumer Privacy Act which provides certain
rights to California (CCPA) residents in connection with their Personal
Information. Our Services are not currently subject to the CCPA.
However, we do provide notice and transparency about our collection and
use of Personal Information as described in Privacy Policy.
Residents
of Canada
If
you have an objection to the use of your Personal Information as described in
this Privacy Policy, you may file a complaint by sending an email to support@accurips.com.
We will attempt to accommodate your objection or complaint, but you understand
that, to the extent you object to our processing of Personal Information that
is necessary for us to provide the Services to you, certain features and
functionalities of the Services may no longer be available to you.
Nothing in this Privacy Policy prejudices your rights to file a complaint
with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, and/or with any other
applicable data protection authorities.
Residents
of Nevada
We
do not sell your Personal Information. However, you may contact us at support@accurips.com with
questions.
Residents
of California
A
California resident who has provided Personal Information to a business with
whom he/she has established a business relationship for personal, family, or
household purposes (“California Customer”) is entitled to request information
about whether the business has disclosed Personal Information to any third
parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. In general, if
the business has made such a disclosure of Personal Information, upon receipt
of a request by a California Customer, the business is required to provide a
list of all third parties to whom Personal Information was disclosed in the
preceding calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of Personal
Information that were disclosed.
However,
under the law, a business is not required to provide the above-described lists
if the business adopts and discloses to the public (in its privacy policy) a
policy of not disclosing a customer’s Personal Information to third parties for
their direct marketing purposes unless the customer first affirmatively agrees
to the disclosure, as long as the business maintains
and discloses this policy. Rather, the business may comply with the law
by notifying the customer of his or her right to prevent disclosure of Personal
Information to third parties for direct marketing purposes and providing a cost free means to exercise that right. To prevent
disclosure of your Personal Information for use in direct marketing by a third
party for its own purposes, do not opt in to or authorize such use when you
provide Personal Information through the Services. Please note that
whenever you allow your Personal Information to be shared with a third party to
communicate with you, your information will be subject to that third party’s
privacy policy. If you later decide that you do not want that third party
to use your information, you will need to contact the third party directly.
You should always review the privacy policy of any party that collects
your information to determine how that entity will handle your information.
California
Customers may request further information about our compliance with
California’s privacy law by e-mailing support@accurips.com.
Please note that we are only required to respond to one request per customer
each year, and we are not required to respond to requests made by means other
than through this e-mail address.
8. Children
The
Services are not intended for users under 18 years of age. We do not
knowingly collect Personal Information from users under 18 years of age.
We do not authorize users under 18 years of age to use the Services. If
you are the parent or guardian and have learned or suspect that your child
under the age of 13 has provided us with Personal Information, please contact
at support@accurips.com and
provide us with the name and email address that was used and we will promptly
delete such information.
9. Information Security
We
utilize reasonable information security measures to safeguard your Personal
Information against unauthorized access, modification, or destruction.
For example, we utilize Secure Socket Layer (SSL), Transport Layer
Security (TLS), or similar encryption technology when sensitive data is
transmitted over the Internet, and use firewalls to
help prevent external access into our network. However, no data
transmission over the Internet and no method of data storage can be guaranteed
to be 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially
acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its
security.
We
restrict access to Personal Information in our possession to our employees,
Service Providers, and Online Tool Providers who need to know that information in order to operate, develop, improve or support our
Services. If we share Personal Information with Service Providers or Online
Tool Providers, we require that they also use reasonable information security
measures to safeguard your Personal Information.
10. Third Party Websites
Please
note that the Services may link or integrate with third-party sites, services
or apps. We are not responsible for the privacy or security policies or
practices or the content of such third parties. Accordingly, we encourage
you to review the privacy and security policies and terms of service of those
third parties so that you understand how those websites collect, use, share and
protect your information.
11. Changes to this Policy
We
may modify or update this Privacy Policy periodically with or without prior
notice by posting the updated policy on this page. You can always check the
“Last Updated” date at the top of this document to see when the Privacy Policy
was last changed. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy,
we will notify you by reasonable means, which may be by e-mail or posting a
notice of the changes on our website or through the Service’s
mobile app prior to the changes becoming effective. We encourage you to
check this Privacy Policy from time to time. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, YOU MUST STOP USING THE SERVICES AFTER THE
EFFECTIVE DATE OF SUCH CHANGES (WHICH IS THE “LAST UPDATED” DATE OF THIS
PRIVACY POLICY).
