4.1. About Tracking Technologies

Sharesecret uses various technologies in our services to help us collect information. For convenience, we refer to these as “tracking technologies,” although they are not always used to track individuals and the information collected is in a non-identifiable form that does not reference any personal data. Tracking technologies include:

Cookies

Cookies are small portions of text that are stored on the device you use to access our services. Cookies enable us (or third parties that we allow to set cookies on your device) to recognize repeat users. Cookies may expire after a period of time, depending on what they are used for.

Pixel Tags / Page Tags / Web Beacons / Tracking Links

These are small, hidden images and blocks of code placed in web pages, ads, and our emails that allow us to determine if you perform a specific action. When you access a page, ad, or email, or click a link, these items let us know that you have accessed that page, opened an email, or clicked a link.

SDKs

SDKs or software development kits are software code provided by our business partners that let our software interact with the services those partners provide. Sometimes these interactions will involve that business partner collecting some information from the device on which the software is run.

Sharesecret employs a range of administrative, organizational, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss, or modification. We continuously work to improve such safeguards.

6. Data Retention

Sharesecret generally retains your personal data for as long as is needed to provide the services to you, or for as long as you have an account with us. We may also retain personal data if required by law, or for our legitimate interests, such as abuse detection and prevention, and defending ourselves from legal claims. Residual copies of personal data may be stored in backup systems for a limited period as a security measure to protect against data loss.

Depending on your country of residence, you may have certain legal rights in relation to your personal data that we maintain. Subject to exceptions and limitations provided by applicable law, these may include the right to:

Please note your rights and choices vary depending upon your location, and some information may be exempt from certain requests under applicable law.

You may also be able to opt out from receiving marketing communications from us by clicking an “opt out” or “unsubscribe” link in such communications.

Otherwise, if you wish to exercise any of these rights, you may contact us using the details in the “Contact Us” section below. As permitted by law, we may ask you to verify your identity before taking further action on your request.

9. Your California Privacy Rights

For additional information and rights available to California consumers, see the California Supplemental Privacy Notice.

10. Sharesecret as a Data Processor or Service Provider

Sharesecret customers submit content, configurations and credentials to the services for processing. The security and privacy practices governing our customers’ use (and the use of our customers’ users) and how we store, process, transmit and disclose the data submitted to the services by our customers, are described in and governed by our service contracts with them. To the extent a customer submits to the services the personal data of a European individual (including the United Kingdom and Switzerland) or another individual who is protected by similar data privacy laws, Sharesecret processes that personal data as a data processor or as the customer’s sub-processor (as the case may be).

Customers are solely responsible for establishing the policies governing, and ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations related to, the customer’s (and the customer’s users’) collection and submission of personal data to the services. Any personal data about an individual (a “data subject”) hosted, stored or published by a customer is the responsibility of the customer and is not covered by this Privacy Policy.

Sharesecret acknowledges that you may have the right to access, update, and delete your personal data. Sharesecret generally has no direct relationship with the data subjects whose personal data we process on behalf of our customers. An individual who seeks to access, update, or delete personal data about them that we process on behalf of our customers should direct their requests or queries to our customer, who is typically the data controller for such data. In addition, we will forward to the applicable customer any request by a data subject received by Sharesecret regarding personal data processed on behalf of that customer.

11. Age Restriction

Our services are not intended for and may not be used by minors. In this context, minors are individuals under the age of 16. Sharesecret does not knowingly collect personal data from minors or allow them to use our services. If we discover that we have collected personal data from a minor, we may delete such data without notice. Please note that the legal terms under which we make certain services available may require users to be older than 16 years of age.

12. Privacy Policy Updates

Sharesecret may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in accordance with this section for reasons such as changes in laws, industry standards, and business practices. Sharesecret will post updates to this page and update the “Last updated” date above. If we make updates that materially alter your privacy rights, we will also provide you with advance notice, such as via email or through the services. If you disagree with such an update to this policy, you may cancel your services account. If you do not cancel your account before the date the update becomes effective, your continued use of our services will be subject to the updated Privacy Policy.
