UploadCam - Privacy Policy
Bitwise Software SL ("Bitwise Software SL," "we," or "us"), knows that you (the "User" or "you") care how information about you is used and shared. This Privacy Policy explains the privacy practices for our website (collectively, the "Website" located at www.uploadcamapp.com), what information of yours will be collected by us when you use the Website, how the information will be used, and how you can control the collection of information. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information we collect by other means (including offline) or from other sources.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
USER-PROVIDED INFORMATION: When you submit a question to us through our Website form, we require you to provide us with personal contact information, such as your name and email address. When you choose to email use directly through the email address provided on the website, your email address and associated name is provided to us.
COOKIES INFORMATION: When you visit the Website, we may send one or more cookies - a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters - to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser and lets us help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the Website. A cookie may also convey anonymous information about how you use the Website to us. A cookie does not collect personal information about you. We uses both session cookies and persistent cookies. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Website. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser's directions. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the Website may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled.
LOG FILE INFORMATION: Log file information is automatically reported by your browser each time you access a web page. When you view our Website, our servers automatically record certain information that your web browser sends whenever you visit any website. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, referring / exit pages and URLs, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information.
CLEAR GIFS INFORMATION: When you access the Website, we may employ clear gifs (also known as web beacons) which are used to track the online usage patterns of our users anonymously. No personally identifiable information is collected using these clear gifs. In addition, we may also use clear gifs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened by recipients. The information is used to enable more accurate reporting, improve the effectiveness of our marketing, and make the Website better for our users.
HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
We use the information you submit to operate, maintain, and provide the features and functionality of the Website and to respond to questions or requests you have submitted to us.
Any personal information or content that you voluntarily disclose for posting to the Website or its related forums, message boards or similar publicly accessible areas becomes available to the public. We are not responsible for personally identifiable information and data contributions that you choose to disclose publicly in these areas. If you remove information that you posted, copies may remain viewable in cached and archived pages, or if other users have copied or saved that information.
By providing us your email address, you consent to our using the email address to send you service-related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. We may also use your email address to send you other messages, such as newsletters, changes to features of the UploadCam Application (the "Application"), or special offers. If you do not want to receive such messages, you may unsubscribe by following the link provided in the email communication. Unsubscribing may prevent you from receiving messages regarding updates, improvements, or offers. You may not unsubscribe from service-related emails. If you correspond with us by email, we may retain the content of your email messages and our responses.
We may use certain information about you and/or certain of your data without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as analyzing how the Website is used, diagnosing service or technical problems, maintaining security, and personalizing content. We may work with analytics companies such as Localytics and Google Analytics to help us understand how the Website is being used, such as the frequency and duration of usage, how Users found our Website, and other non-personally identifiable information so we can deliver a better experience and improve the Website.
We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor the information you post on the Website and related forums. If applicable, we reserve the right to remove any such information or material for any reason or no reason, including without limitation if in our sole opinion such information or material violates, or may violate, any applicable law or to protect or defend our rights or property or those of any third party. We also reserve the right to remove information upon the request of any third party.
We use cookies, clear gifs, and log file information to:
(a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Website;
(b) provide custom, personalized content and information;
(c) monitor the effectiveness of the Website;
(d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors and traffic; and
(e) diagnose or fix technology problems reported by our users or engineers that are associated with certain IP addresses.
HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION: We may share your personally identifiable information with third parties solely for the purpose of providing services to you. We may store personal information in locations outside our direct control (for instance, on servers or databases co-located with hosting providers).
Bitwise Software SL, its employees, agents and contractors must have a business reason to obtain access to your personally identifiable information. We may share your personally identifiable information with those who help us manage the Website, or with outside contractors, agents or processors that help us with administration.
We do not share your personally identifiable information or personally-identifiable location information with third-party companies for their direct marketing use. As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or business offerings. User email and visitor information is generally one of the transferred business assets in these types of transactions. We may also transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, or dissolution.
Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose personal information to any third party unless required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the law, comply with legal process served on us or our affiliates, or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities; (b) to take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, or to protect the security or integrity of our Website; and (c) to exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Bitwise Software SL, our users or others.
NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION: We may share non-personally identifiable information (such as anonymous usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third parties to help them understand the usage patterns for certain services.
We may allow third-party ad servers or ad networks to serve advertisements on the Website. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on the Website. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content. We do not provide any personally identifiable information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent. However, please note that if an advertiser asks us to show an advertisement to a certain audience and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach. This Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, third-party advertisers. Please consult the respective privacy policies of such advertisers for more information.
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
We use commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission of information, we make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
In the event that personal information is compromised as a result of a breach of security, We will promptly notify those persons whose personal information has been compromised, in accordance with the notification procedures set forth in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise required by applicable law.
YOUR CHOICES ABOUT YOUR INFORMATION
You may, of course, decline to submit personally identifiable information through the Website, in which case we may not be able to provide certain services to you.
CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. For that reason, we do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are under 13, please do not send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. No one under age 13 is allowed to provide any personal information to or on the Website. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at info@uploadcamapp.com.
LINKS TO OTHER WEB SITES
We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our Website, nor the information or content contained therein. Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Website to another website, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other website, including those that have a link on our Website, is subject to that website's own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.
ADDITIONAL PRIVACY POLICIES
This Privacy Policy does not apply to your use or access to the Application. The Application is governed by its own Privacy Policy that you should review independently. In addition, this Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, third-parties that may collect information about your use of the Application. For example, Apple and Google collect information about those who obtain the Application through their services, and may make this information available to Bitwise Software SL. Please consult the respective privacy policies of such third-parties for more information.
NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES
It is our policy to provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through conspicuous posting of such notice on our website, as determined by us in our sole discretion. We reserve the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to you, provided that you may opt out of certain means of notification as described in this Privacy Policy.
CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY
If we change our privacy policies and procedures, we will post those changes on the Website to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we may disclose it. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on the Website. Your use of the Website, and your continued use after we post a revised Privacy Policy, signifies your acceptance of the Privacy Policy and any revisions. It is therefore important that you review this Privacy Policy regularly to ensure you are updated as to any changes. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, the practices of this Website, or your dealings with this website, please contact us at info@uploadcamapp.com.
