When you use our website sharecode.io, we may gather information about you that is covered by this Privacy Policy. In this privacy statement, we'll collectively refer to our website, mobile applications, and other goods and services as "Services." You may read more about how we gather, use, and disclose information about you, as well as your options, in the sections below.
Information We Collect
In order to deliver our Services, contact with you, or improve our Services, we only gather information about you when we have a cause to do so. We gather this information from three different sources: directly from you when you use our Services, automatically when we run them, and from outside sources. Let's review the data that we get.
Information You Provide to Us
It should come as no surprise that we obtain information from you directly. Here are a few instances:
We need some basic information from you in order to set up your account, so please provide it. For instance, when someone registers for a sharecode account, we just ask them for their name, email address, and password. Although you are welcome to provide us further details, such as your role and other details you choose to share, we don't need it in order to set up a sharecode account.
If you purchase something from us, we will gather information to process payments and get in touch with you. Your name, credit card number, and contact information are among the extra pieces of personal information you must supply in order to make a purchase from us, such as a membership to a sharecode plan. Additionally, we retain a record of your purchases.
Content information: In draft emails, you could provide us information about yourself. Getting in touch with us (hello there!) You could also provide us information when you fill out surveys, get in touch with our customer service department, ask a question in one of our open forums, or subscribe to a newsletter. We keep a record of any conversation you have with us, whether it be by phone, email, form, or another method.
Information We Automatically Gather
Additionally, we get the following data automatically:
Log data: Like the majority of online service providers, we gather data that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available. This data includes the type of browser used, IP address, unique device identifiers, preferred language, referring site, date and time of access, operating system, and information about mobile networks. When you use our services, such as when you write new code or modify previous code on sharecode, we record log information.
Information about usage: We keep track of how you use our services. For instance, we gather data on the activities that users carry out on a website, or more specifically, who did what and when. Along with information about your device (such as screen size, cellular network name, and mobile device maker), we also gather information about how you use our Services (such as page visits and features that are activated for your website). We use this information, for instance, to give you our services, learn how people use them so we can improve them, and comprehend user retention and make forecasts about it.
Location data: Your IP address may be used to establish the general location of your device. We gather and utilize this data, for instance, to figure out how many users come from particular locations to our Services. If you grant us permission to do so through the operating system of your mobile device, we may also gather details about your precise location using our mobile apps (such as when you submit a picture with location information).
Cookies and other technologies' information A website may store a string of data known as a cookie on a visitor's computer, which the visitor's browser then sends back to the website each time the visitor accesses the website. Small pieces of code called pixel tags, sometimes known as web beacons, are added to emails and webpages. sharecode utilizes cookies and other technologies, such as pixel tags, to identify and monitor visitors, use, and access preferences for our Services, as well as to analyze and assess the efficacy of email campaigns and to present tailored advertisements.
What Information We Use and Why
Purposes for Using Information
We utilize your information for the following reasons:
delivering our Services. Creating and maintaining your account, hosting your website, backing it up and restoring it, offering customer care, handling payments and orders, and checking user information are a few examples. to guarantee quality, uphold safety, and enhance our services. For instance, by offering fresh releases and automated updates to our Services. Or, for instance, by keeping an eye on and evaluating how users engage with our Services so that we may develop new features that we believe users will appreciate and that will either make our Services simpler to use or that will help users construct and maintain websites more effectively.
to handle our advertising program's ad placements. To promote our services and assess, evaluate, and boost the efficiency of our advertising. For instance, we can advertise our Services, analyze the results of our marketing campaigns (like how many people bought a paid plan after seeing a marketing message), and forecast user retention by directing our marketing messages to specific user groups (like those who have a specific plan with us or have been users for a certain amount of time).
to safeguard the public, our users, and our services. For instance, by identifying security incidents, identifying and preventing malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, combating spam, upholding our legal obligations, and safeguarding the property rights of sharecode and others, which may require us to, among other things, decline a transaction or stop providing Services. to address issues with our services. For instance, by keeping an eye on, fixing, debugging, and preventing problems.
to make user experience a priority. By providing you with pertinent alerts and adverts for our Services, for instance, we may tailor your experience. to get in touch with you. To gather your comments, learn how to get the most out of our products, or keep you informed about shareCode, we could email you. We might also text you to confirm your payment. We might even phone you to share deals and promotions we think you'll like. You can choose not to receive marketing messages from us at any moment if you don't want to hear from us. (If you want to opt out, we'll still send you critical account updates.)
Legal Foundations for Information Gathering and Use
Those who reside in the European Union should be aware that our use of their information is based on the grounds that: (1) The use is necessary to fulfill our obligations to you under the applicable terms of service or other agreements with you or is necessary to administer your account, for example, in order to enable access to our website on your device or charge you for services; (2) The use is necessary to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of any person who could be harmed by such processing; (3) The processing is necessary to establish, exercise,or (4) We have a legitimate interest in using your information, such as providing and updating our services, enhancing our services to give you an even better user experience, protecting our services, communicating with you, measuring, gauging, and improving the effectiveness of our advertising, understanding user retention and attrition, monitoring and preventing any issues with our services, and personalizing your experience; or (5) You have a legitimate interest in us using your information.
Sharing Information
How We Share Information
We only disclose information about you under specific conditions and with adequate privacy protections. These are described below.
Subsidiaries and independent contractors: We may transfer information about you to our subsidiaries and independent contractors that require it to assist us in providing our Services or process it on our behalf. Any personal information we share with our subsidiaries and independent contractors must adhere to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Third-party vendors: We may give information about you to third-party vendors who require it to carry out their services for us, for you or for your website. This includes the suppliers who help us deliver our services to you (such as Stripe for payment processing), the suppliers who support our marketing initiatives (by, for example, providing tools for identifying a particular marketing target group or improving our marketing campaigns, and the providers who place ads to market our services), the suppliers who support our understanding of and improvement of our services (such as analytics providers), and the suppliers who produce tools to support our operations (such as programs that assist us with accounting).
Legal and regulatory requirements: In response to a subpoena, court order, or other official request, we could reveal information about you. When we have a good faith belief that disclosing the information is reasonable necessary to safeguard the property or rights of sharecode, third parties, or the general public, we may disclose information about you.
Business transfers: User information would probably be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party in connection with any merger, sale of company assets, acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, or in the unlikely event that sharecode goes out of business or enters bankruptcy. If any of these things happened, this Privacy Policy would still apply to your information, and the person who receives it might still use it—but only in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
With your permission: If you give us permission to do so, we may share and disclose your information. Information that has been aggregated or de-identified: We may disclose information that has been done so that it can no longer be used to identify you. For instance, we may share a hashed version of your email address to enable tailored ad campaigns on other platforms or publish aggregate information about how our Services are used.
Published support requests: If you contact us with a request for help (for instance, through a support email or another feedback channel), we retain the right to publish such request in order to reply to it, to make it clearer how we should proceed, or to better assist other users.
We have a policy that states we never sell the data of our users. We are not a data broker, and neither do we sell your personal information to data brokers or to other businesses who seek to annoy you with unsolicited emails. Even though we don't share information that personally identifies you, like your name or email address, as part of our advertising program, some personalized advertising you see online and on our services may be deemed a "sale" under a new California law, the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA").
Public Information Sharing
Your decision to make certain information public will be made public, as you would have predicted. This refers to data that you send to a test user or include in an email and post to a public URL.
How long do we keep data?
When your information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which we collected and used it, as explained in the section above on How and Why We Use Information, and we are not obliged by law to preserve it, we usually trash it. For instance, we retain the web server logs, which include the IP address, kind of browser, and operating system of a visitor to one of sharecode's websites, for roughly 30 days. We keep the logs for this long in order to, among other things, evaluate website traffic for sharecode and look into problems when something goes wrong. Another illustration is when you remove a template, Starting from scratch is boring, therefore it stays in your Trash folder for thirty days in case you change your mind and want to restore that stuff. The deleted material may continue to exist in our backups and caches after the thirty-day period is up until it is removed.
Security
Even while no online service is 100% secure, we make every effort and take reasonable precautions to safeguard the information we have about you from unauthorized access, use, modification, or destruction. We keep an eye out for any weaknesses and assaults on our services.
Your Rights
You may have certain rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to ask for access to or the deletion of your data, if you reside in certain regions of the world, such as California and nations covered by the European General Data Protection Regulation (also known as the "GDPR").
