What to Expect From Us
Your privacy is important to us. We use your data for the sole purpose of providing and improving our services. When it comes to data collecting, we follow a few fundamental principles:
- We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. That means we do ask for things like your name and contact details, but not unnecessary detail about your life.
- We don’t share your personal information with anyone else except to comply with the law, protect our rights, or build our business by developing our products and services.
- We don’t store personal information on our servers unless it’s required for the on-going operation of our site or our business. You can ask us to delete it at any time.
We will respond to any requests for assistance, questions, or feedback as soon as possible. We may also share the substance of your communication, without any personally-identifiable information, to support other customers and clients who may benefit from the answer we provide (e.g. in FAQs).
If you have supplied us with any contact details, such as your email address and/or phone number, we may occasionally contact you to let you know about things like new products or services, keep you updated with any new developments or special offers, or ask for your feedback. We make every effort to ensure these communications are as interesting and helpful as possible.
We take all reasonable measures to protect your data and we do not on-sell personal information.
