Tapcentive, Inc. values and respects the privacy of its customers and visitors. Through this Websites Privacy Policy (the “Policy”), Tapcentive, Inc. ("Tapcentive", "we" or "us") provides information about how we collect, use and transfer personally identifiable data from you through Tapcentive’s websites at tapcentive.com, smartscratch.com (collectively the “Websites”). Please note that your use of these sites is conditional on your acceptance of our Terms of Use and is also governed by this Policy.
This Policy covers only data collected through the Websites and not any other data collection or processing, including, without limitation, data collection practices of webpages to which the Websites links, or data that we or our affiliates collect offline or through webpages that do not display a direct link to this statement.
Through the Websites, we receive data that you actively submit as well as data that we track:
Actively Submitted Data: When you request information, subscribe to a mailing list or for a service, respond to an online survey or otherwise actively send us data, we may request data such as your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, and certain information related to the business you represent such as number of employees and industry type. You can opt out of providing information by not entering it when asked and, if such information is required in order to allow us to respond to your inquiry, you will receive a notice advising you of this. In each such instance, you will know what data we collect through the Websites, because you actively submit it.
Passively Tracked Data: When you visit the Websites, we also passively track information on your computing/mobile device and Internet connection, such as the IP address of your computing/mobile device and/or Internet service provider, the date and time you access the Websites, the Internet address of Websites from which you link to our Websites, the computing/mobile device technology you are using and your movements and preferences on our Websites. We use technology commonly employed on the web including, without limitation, browser “cookies” or small data files stored on your device, to collect such information. In some instances, we also use cookies to collect information in connection with future visits from a website, to recognize you as a previous visitor, or to track your activity on our Websites. If you follow a link to the site from an affiliate or promotion, we store information about your arrival from that affiliate or promotion in a session cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to visit our Websites. You can refuse cookies by turning them off on your browser.
Combinations: Unless you also actively submit personal information such as your name or address, passively tracked data does not typically allow us to identify you personally, and we do not endeavor to do so unless you identify yourself voluntarily through an active submission of data. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we reserve the right to combine passively tracked data with personal data that you actively submit.
We collect passively tracked data primarily for purposes of administering, protecting and improving our Websites and our systems, to better understand the preferences of our Website visitors, to identify server problems, to compile aggregated statistics about site usage, and to help personalize your experience on our Websites.
We collect actively submitted data primarily for two purposes: Firstly, for the purpose for which you originally sent us the data (e.g., to provide information to you or sign you up for the use of our services); and secondly, for purposes of contacting you to further discuss your interest in our company, the services we provide and ways we can improve them to provide information on services, promotions and events. You can opt out of receiving marketing emails as explained below.
We are not in the business of selling or renting your information to telemarketers and we do not share your personally identifiable information with others, except as follows: We may share information with trusted business partners, such as system integrators, distributors, and referral partners and any other party specifically identified on the page on which you submit your information. We engage agents and service providers who process data only on our behalf and for our purposes under confidentiality agreements. We may share your information as required by law or in the interest of protecting or exercising our or others’ legal rights, e.g., without limitation, in connection with requests from law enforcement officials and in connection with court proceedings. We may share or transfer your information in connection with a prospective or actual sale, merger, transfer or other reorganization of all or parts of our business. Also, we reserve the right to fully use and disclose any information that is not in personally identifiable form (such as statistics and survey results that do not identify you individually by name).
In connection with promotions or other projects, we may ask you specifically whether you have objections against a certain kind of data use or sharing. If you opt-out under such circumstances, we will respect your decision. To opt out of receiving commercial communications from Tapcentive, please click on the “opt-out” link in the communication or contact us at support@tapcentive.com. Please note that our affiliates and other data recipients have their own data privacy policies, which may differ from ours and should contact them separately with respect to opt-out requests.
If personal information you have submitted through the Websites is no longer accurate, current, or complete, and you wish to update it, please send an email to support@tapcentive.com. Upon appropriate request we will usually be glad to update or amend your information, but we reserve the right to use information obtained previously to verify your identity or take other actions that we believe are appropriate.
Transmissions over the Internet are never 100% secure or error-free. However, we take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
We may revise and update this from Policy time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to and use of the Websites thereafter.
Your continued use of the Websites following the posting of revised Policy means that you accept and agree to the changes. You may wish to check this page from time to time so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.
