PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated August 28, 2015

Thanks for using shott.io. This privacy policy describes how we collect, store use and disclose your information when you use our websites, software and services (“Services”). This privacy policy forms part of the terms of use of the Services.

Information Collected

Here is the information we collect:

Setup. We collect, and link your account, information like your name, email address, phone number, payment account information, and address. Depending on the selections you make, you may allow third parties to access your setup and account information.

Services. When you use our Services, we collect, store, use, process and disclose your files and information related to them (such as document properties). With your permission, we will also collect and store your contacts that will facilitate in you using our Services by having ready access to them from within the Services.

We also collect information about the devices you use to access our Services. For example, we log the login IP address, browser, device, prior website visited and IDs for your devices and geolocation information.

Cookies. We use cookies, pixel tags and other tools to provide our Services. These tools expedite your login and access to the Services. If you don’t allow cookies or similar tools, then the Services won’t work as easily for you as they might otherwise.

Sharing

Individuals inside Company that need to access your information in order to supply or improve the Services will have access to your information. Company also uses third party consultants, service providers or licensors to assist in delivering the Services; these third parties will also have access to your information, but they are all bound by duties of confidentiality. As a general rule, Company will not look at your individual files or related information, but if required limited access will be granted to your individual files and related information.

Our Services are designed to help you share your files and information, so we will grant other users of our Services access to the files and related information that you select to share. The Services also allow sharing of profile information and account notifications across multiple users.

Our Services may be integrated with certain third party services. Where you decide to allow third party services to access your information stored in our Services, we will share your information with those third parties. Note that your information that is shared with them will then be governed by the privacy policy of those third parties and not by this privacy policy.

Where your Service account has more than one user, one or more users may be granted administrative status which will allow them to access the files and related information concerning other users. Please make sure that your own internal privacy policy is consistent with the permissions that you set up in our Services.

We will disclose your information if required by law, to prevent a death or serious bodily injury, to prevent fraud or to protect Company rights.

Safety

We work continually to add to protection of your information by testing and improving our security protocols. From time to time, we may require you to re-authenticate yourself as a way of reducing the changes of unauthorized access.

Retention Policy

We keep your information as long as you continue to use the Services. You should backup your data outside of the Services. If you terminate your use of the Services or delete your account we will delete your information, provided that we may retain some or all of it for a limited period of time afterwards but in no event more than 5 years.

Changes

If we are involved in a reorganization, merger, acquisition or sale of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that deal. We will notify you (for example, via a message to the email address associated with your account) of any such deal and outline your choices in that event.

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time, and will post the most current version on our website. If a revision meaningfully reduces your rights, we will notify you.
