Marketing our products and services

We may use personal information to tailor and provide you with content. If you have any questions about our marketing practices or if you would like to opt out of the use of your personal information for marketing purposes, you may update your subscription preferences at any time.

De-identified and aggregated information use

We may use personal information and other data about you to create de-identified and/or aggregated information. De-identified and/or aggregated information is not personal information, and we may use and disclose such information in a number of ways, including research, internal analysis, analytics, and any other legally permissible purposes. For example, we may compile anonymized averages on the activity across our Veriswype users to show global reference classes in our Services.

Process information on behalf of our customers

Our customers may choose to use our Services to process certain data of their own, which may contain personal information. Such personal information that is processed by us on behalf of our customers, and our privacy practices will be governed by the contracts that we have in place with our customers, not this Privacy Policy.

How we share the information we collect

We may share your personal information with third parties under one of the following circumstances:

With your consent

We share your personal information, if you consent, after letting you know what information will be shared, with whom, and why.

With service providers

We share personal information with a limited number of service providers who process it on our behalf to provide or improve our Service, and who have agreed to privacy restrictions similar to the ones in our Privacy Statement by signing data protection agreements or making similar commitments. Our service providers perform analytics, payment processing, customer support ticketing, network data transmission, and other similar services. While Veriswype processes all personal information in the United States, our service providers may process data outside of the United States or the European Union.

Sharing content with others

Veriswype may offer social sharing features and other integrated tools, which let you share actions you take on Veriswype with other media, such as Twitter, and vice versa. Your use of such features enables the sharing of information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the entity that provides the social sharing feature.

Advertising partners

We do not use or share your information, including personal information, to advertise any third party’s products or services via the Services. We may use and share your personal information with third-party advertising partners to market our own Services and grow our Services’ user base, such as to provide targeted marketing about our own Services via third-party services.

For security purposes

If you are a member of a Veriswype team or organization, Veriswype may share your username, Usage Information, and Device Information associated with that team or organization, to the extent that such information is required.

For legal disclosure

Veriswype strives for transparency in complying with legal process and legal obligations. Unless prevented from doing so by law or court order, or in rare, exigent circumstances, we make a reasonable effort to notify users of any legally compelled or required disclosure of their information. Veriswype may disclose information we collect about you to law enforcement if required in response to a valid subpoena, court order, search warrant, a similar government order, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to protect our property or rights, or those of third parties or the public at large.

Disclosures to protect us or others

We may access, preserve, and disclose any information we store in association with you to external parties if we, in good faith, believe doing so is required or appropriate to: (i) comply with law enforcement or national security requests and legal process, such as a court order or subpoena; (ii) protect your, our, or others’ rights, property, or safety; (iii) enforce our policies or contracts; (iv) collect amounts owed to us; or (v) assist with an investigation and prosecution of suspected or actual illegal activity.

Disclosure in the event of merger, sale, or other asset transfer:

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, purchase or sale of assets, or transition of service to another provider, then your information may be sold or transferred as part of such a transaction, as permitted by law and/or contract.

We do not sell your personal information for monetary or other consideration. The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) requires businesses to state in their privacy policy whether or not they disclose personal information in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration. While CCPA only covers California residents, when it goes into effect we will voluntarily extend its core rights for people to control their data to all of our users, not just those who live in California.

How we secure your information

Veriswype takes commercially reasonable steps designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction; maintain data accuracy; and help ensure the appropriate use of personal information.

We hash sensitive information, such as project and file names, at the time of collection in our plugin. Transmission of data on Veriswype is encrypted using SSH and HTTPS (TLS). Our data remains hashed when it is stored.

No method of transmission, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any personal information to us over the Internet. In addition, we are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Services, or third party websites.

How you can access and control the information we collect

If you’re already a Veriswype user, you may access, update, alter, or delete your basic user profile information by editing your user profile. You can control the information we collect about you by limiting what information you provide in your profile.

Data access

Under The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), you have the right to access your data. You can request a copy of your data in your account settings.

Data retention

We store the personal information we receive as described in this Privacy Policy for as long as you use our Services or as necessary to fulfill the purpose(s) for which it was

collected, provide our Services, resolve disputes, establish legal defenses, conduct audits, pursue legitimate business purposes, enforce our agreements, and comply with applicable laws.

Deletion of data

If you would like to cancel your account or delete your personal information, you may do so in your account settings. Barring legal requirements, we will delete your full profile (within reason). You may contact us to request the erasure of the data we process on the basis of consent within 30 days. After an account has been deleted, certain non-identifiable data may remain. However, we will delete or de-identify your personal information, including your username and email address.

Anonymized data

Your data is anonymized before it is aggregated as part of a reference class, such as a team or global reference class. This information is not personally identifiable. If you are using our Services, such as our Code Time plugin, without registering for a Veriswype web account, your information will be anonymous. We also do not consider this data personal information.

Our use of cookies and tracking

Cookies

We use cookies to make interactions with our Services easy and meaningful. We use cookies (and similar technologies, like HTML5 local Storage) to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and improve our services. By using our Services, you agree that we can place these types of cookies on your computer or device. If you disable your browser or device’s ability to accept these cookies, you may not be able to log in or use our Services.

Third parties may collect or receive information about your use of our Services and use that information to provide conversion tracking, measurement services, and targeted ads. We may employ learnings of your behavior to serve you with targeted advertisements on third-party websites in an effort to re-market our products and services to you.

Web tracking and analytics

We use a number of third-party analytics and service providers to help us evaluate our Users’ use of Veriswype, compile statistical reports on activity, and make smarter product decisions. In addition, we use our own internal analytics veriswype, such as in our plugins, to provide features, monitor for bugs, and improve the overall quality of our Services.

Pixel tags

Our emails may contain a pixel tag, which is a small, clear image that can tell us whether or not you have opened an email and what your IP address is. We use this pixel tag to make our email more effective for you and to make sure we’re not sending you unwanted email.

Online Tracking and Do Not Track Signals

We and our third party service providers, including Facebook, may use cookies, pixels, or other tracking technologies to collect information about your browsing activities over time and across different websites following your use of the Site and use that information to send targeted advertisements. Our Services currently do not respond to “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) signals and operate as described in this Privacy Policy whether or not a DNT signal is received. If we do respond to DNT signals in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy to describe how we do so.

How we communicate with you

We use your email address to communicate with you, with your permission. For example, if you contact our Support team with a request, we respond to you via email. You may manage your communication preferences in your user Account settings.

Depending on your email settings, we may occasionally send notification emails about product launches, new features, requests for feedback, important policy changes, or to offer customer support. We also send marketing emails based on your choices and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. There is an “unsubscribe” link located at the bottom of each of the marketing emails we send you.

Please note that you cannot opt out of receiving important communications from us, such as emails from our support team or system emails, but you can configure your notifications settings in your profile to opt out of other communications. You can also

delete your account permanently, which will remove you from all future communications with us.
