Effective Date: August15, 2013 Acrowit, Inc. ("Acrowit" or "Parrot365") provides this Privacy Policy to inform you of our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information we receive when you visit and use the Parrot365 website or application located at www.Parrot365.com (the "Services"). If you have questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy, you should first contact Parrot365 at legal@parrot365.com or at the following address: Privacy Matters c/o Acrowit, Inc., 20380 Town Center Lane, Suite - 250Cupertino, California 95014.
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the Services. If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes to this Privacy Policy on the Services and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. You are advised to consult this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes.
Parrot365 does not knowingly collect Personally Identifiable Information from children under 18. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with Personally Identifiable Information without their consent, he or she should contact us at legal@parrot365.com. If we become aware that a child under 18 has provided us with Personally Identifiable Information (defined below), we will delete such information from our files and disable their account.
Before you review this Privacy Policy, we recommend you are familiar with the following concepts and terms so that you can best understand how Parrot365 uses data about you and to enhance your experience using the Services.
API: An application programming interface or "API" is a particular set of rules and specifications that allows one software program to access and make use of another software program. It helps facilitate the interaction between applications, similar to the way the user interface facilitates interaction between humans and computers. Parrot365 uses APIs to enable third-party technologies, products, or activities available through the Services.
Cookies and other Tracking Technologies: Cookies are small text files that web servers typically send to users' computer when they visit a website. Cookies can be read or edited when the user loads a website or advertisement from the domain that wrote the cookie in the first place. Cookies are used by companies to collect and send information about a user's website visit - for example, number of visits, average time spent, pages viewed, navigation history through the website, and other statistics. This information can be used to improve a user's online experience by saving passwords, or allowing companies to track and improve website loading times, for instance. Cookies can also be used to track a user's browsing or online purchasing habits and to target advertisements to specific users. Cookies cannot be used to access any other data on a user's hard drive, to personally identify them, or to act like malware or a virus. Users who prefer not to accept cookies can set their Internet browser to notify them when they receive a cookie or to prevent cookies from being placed on their hard drive. You can read more about cookies at http://www.allaboutcookies.org/cookies/. We may also use "pixel tags,""web beacons,""clear GIFs" or similar means (individually or collectively "Pixel Tags") in connection with our Services to collect usage, demographic and geographical location data. A Pixel Tag is an electronic image, often a single pixel, that is ordinarily not visible to users and may be associated with cookies on a user's hard drive. Pixel Tags allow us to count users who have visited certain screens of the Service, to deliver branded services and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns.
Personally Identifiable Information: We define personally identifiable information (or "PII") as "information that can be used to uniquely identify, contact, or locate a single person or can be used with other sources to uniquely identify a single individual." e. g. name, address, social security number, e-mail address etc. This is the common industry definition used by most Internet companies. Information that is collected by various Internet companies but which does not qualify as PII is call "non-PII."
Our primary goals in collecting information are to provide and improve our Services, features and content, to administer your account and to enable users to enjoy and easily navigate the Services.
When you use the Services, our servers automatically record information that your phone, browser, and desktop application send whenever you use the Services ("Log Data"). This Log Data may include, but is not limited to, your computer or phone Internet Protocol address, application version, browser type, the web page you were visiting before you launched the Service and information you search for using our Service. We use this information to monitor and analyze use of the Services and for technical administration of the Services, to increase the Service functionality and user-friendliness, and to better tailor our Services to our users' needs. This information is collected using Cookies and other tracking technologies as previously defined.
We also put together data from the information we already have about you. We only provide data to our partners or customers after we have removed your name or any other personally identifying information from it, or have combined it with other people's data in a way that it is no longer associated with you.
We use the information we receive about you in connection with the Services and features we provide to you and other users. For example, we may use the information we receive about you:
Granting us this permission not only allows us to provide Parrot365 it exists today, but it also allows us to provide you with innovative features and services we develop in the future that use the information we receive about you in new ways.
While you are allowing us to use the information we receive about you, you always own all of your information. Your trust is important to us, which is why we don't share information we receive about you with others unless we have:
We store data for as long as it is necessary to provide Services to you and others, including those described above. Typically, information associated with your account will be kept until your account is deleted. For certain categories of data, we may also tell you about specific data retention practices.
The Service contains links to other websites, applications, and online services that are not owned or controlled by Parrot365. The fact that we link to a website, content or present a banner ad or other type of advertisement is not an endorsement, authorization or representation that we are affiliated with that third party, nor is it an endorsement of their privacy or information security policies or practices. We do not exercise control over third party websites or services. These other websites and services may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit Personally Identifiable Information from you. Other websites and services follow different rules regarding the use or disclosure of the Personally Identifiable Information you submit to them. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of the other websites you visit. Parrot365 is not responsible for the practices of other websites or online services.
You can access and correct most of your personal data stored by Parrot365 by logging into your account and viewing your profile and activity log.
We may send you notifications and other messages using the contact information we have for you, like your email address.
If we make changes to this Data Use Policy we will notify you by publication here and on the Parrot365 HelpPage.
If the changes are material, we will provide you additional, prominent notice as appropriate under the circumstances.
If the ownership of our business changes, we may transfer your information to the new owner so they can continue to operate the service. But they will still have to honor the commitments we have made in this Data Use Policy.
Other than as described in this section, Parrot365 does not rent or share information about you with third parties.
We may share aggregated, anonymous information that does not include Personally Identifiable Information and we may otherwise disclose Non-Personally Identifiable Information and Log Data with third parties for industry analysis, demographic profiling and other purposes. Any aggregated information shared in these contexts will not contain your Personally Identifiable Information.
We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate the Services available therein, to provide the services on our behalf and to perform services related to administration of the Services ("Service Providers"). The types of Service Providers we use include, without limitation, services providers that provide the following types of services: website and application maintenance, hosting, database management, data analytics and administration. These third parties have access to your Personally Identifiable Information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
Parrot365 cooperates with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We will disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process (including but not limited to subpoenas), to protect the property and rights of Parrot365 or a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop any activity we may consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, illegal, unethical, inappropriate or legally actionable. We reserve the right to do any of the foregoing.
All Parrot365 Members may review, update, correct or delete the information in their profile by logging into their account and changing the "Settings"and "User Preferences" associated with their account. If you choose to delete your account, Parrot365 will retain an archive copy of your account information for up to one (1) week after which the content will be fully purged. Parrot365 will only retain archive copy for longer than one (1) week if required by law or for legitimate business purposes.
Parrot365 is very concerned with safeguarding your information. We are not in the business of providing information security. We do employ limited data security measures, such as encryption, on some but not all systems. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while Parrot365 strives to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, Parrot365 cannot guarantee its absolute security. Do not provide your Personally Identifiable Information if you are concerned with its disclosure. We do our best to keep your information secure. We try to keep the Parrot365 Services available, bug-free and safe, but do not make guarantees about any part of our services or products.
We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored "personal data" (as defined in applicable state statutes on security breach notification) to you via e-mail or conspicuous posting via the Services in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, insofar as consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.
International Transfer Your information may be transferred to-and maintained on-computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to Parrot365, please be advised that we transfer Personally Identifiable Information to the United States and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.
Identity theft and the practice currently known as "phishing" are of great concern to Parrot365. Safeguarding information to help protect you from identity theft is a top priority. We do not and will not, at any time, request your credit card information, your login password, or national identification numbers in a non-secure or unsolicited e-mail or telephone communication. For more information about phishing, visit the Federal Trade Commission's website.
California law permits residents of California to request certain details about what Personally Identifiable Information a company shares with third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes. Parrot365 does not share your information with third parties for the third parties' own and independent direct marketing purposes unless we receive your permission. If you have questions about our sharing practices or your rights under California law, please write us at 20380 Town Center Lane Suite - 250 Cupertino, California, 95014or contact us at legal@parrot365.com.
