In addition to registration information, GoWall may allow you to enter or give us access to address and contact information that is stored on your behalf. We do not use contacts stored or accessed with your account for our marketing or commercial purpose. We will store those contacts on our servers for you to use, which make it easy for you to do things like facilitating meetings and inviting others to use the Services.

Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information

We also collect and aggregate information and other data in a form that does not permit direct association with any specific individual. We may aggregate information regarding user activity and interactions with our Services. Aggregated data is considered “non-personal information” for the purposes of this Privacy Policy and is used to help us provide more useful information to our users and to understand and improve our Services.

We collect non-personal information to better understand user characteristic and behavior and to improve our marketing and advertising programs. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose. If we combine or associate non-personal information with Personal Information, the combined information will be treated as Personal Information for as long as it remains combined or associated.

 

Automatically Collected Information

We automatically collect some information about you when you use our Services. For example, we will collect session data and information about your interactions and activity while using our Services. This automatically collected information is used to help us understand the interests of our users and to customize and enhance your user experience.

Our Services, Website, Platform, Applications, email messages, marketing programs and advertisements may use “cookies,” “web beacons” and other tracking technologies. These tracking technologies help us better understand user characteristics and behavior, tell us which parts of our Services people have used or visited, and help facilitate and measure the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising programs. We use this information to understand and analyze trends, to administer and improve our Services, and to gather important demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may use this information in our marketing and advertising programs.

We treat information collected by these tracking technologies as non-personal information. However, to the extent that information collected by cookies and other technologies, including Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers, contain or are associated with Personal Information or are considered Personal Information by applicable law, we treat such information and identifiers as Personal Information. To the extent that non-personal information is combined or associated with Personal Information, we treat the combined or associated information as Personal Information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

 

Logged Files

 

When you use our Services, our servers automatically record information that your browser or device sends whenever you interact with our Services and store it in log files. This information may include, but is not limited to, your computer or device’s Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type and language, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring and exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data or information you search for using our Services. To the extent that IP addresses or similar identifiers are considered Personal Information by applicable law, we also treat these identifiers as Personal Information.

 

Email Links

 

In some of our email messages, we may use a “click-through URL” linked to content on our Website or within our Services. When you click one of these URLs, you may pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click text or graphic links in the email messages.

 

Web Beacons

 

A “web beacon” (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags or Web bugs) is a small (often invisible) graphic image or other web programming code embedded in a web page or email. We may use web beacons or similar technologies for a number of purposes, including, without limitation, to count visitors, to monitor how users navigate our Services and to count how many e-mails sent were actually opened. This helps us measure the effectiveness of our content and other offerings and to analyze, improve, optimize reduce or eliminate messaging.

 

Cookies and Tracking

 

We use tracking technology (“cookies”) as part of our Services and a unique user ID to help us recognize you across our different Services. Generally, cookies are small text files, often including an anonymous unique identifier, which are sent to your browser or device from Websites and application servers and then stored on your device. By using our Services or visiting our Website you agree to the use of cookies in your browser and HTML-based emails. We use Cookies to track use of our Services and to improve your user experience.

Modern Internet browsers allow you to control your cookie settings. These settings are usually accessed in the ‘Options’ or ‘Preferences’ section of your browser. You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all of our Services. For further information about cookies and how to manage them, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

OUR DO NOT TRACK POLICY: SOME WEBSITES HAVE “DO NOT TRACK” FEATURES THAT ALLOW YOU TO TELL A WEBSITE NOT TO TRACK YOU. THESE FEATURES ARE NOT ALL UNIFORM. WE DO NOT CURRENTLY RESPOND TO THOSE SIGNALS. IF YOU BLOCK COOKIES, CERTAIN FEATURES ON OUR SITES MAY NOT WORK. IF YOU BLOCK OR REJECT COOKIES, NOT ALL OF THE TRACKING DESCRIBED HERE WILL STOP.

 

Session and Persistent Cookies

 

Our Services use “session cookies”, which improve your user experience by storing certain information from your current visit on your device, such as log-in information. Session cookies enable us to remember your log- in session so you can move easily within and use our Services and are required for us to be able to provide our Services to you. Our session cookies have limited functionalities and expirations, and you will be required to re-enter your log-in information after a certain period of time to protect you and your account from unauthorized access. Our Services may use “persistent cookies” or “tracking cookies” for user authentication, faster and more convenient access to and navigation of our Services, to store user preferences and to customize our Services for our users.

 

Third-Party Cookies

 

Although our Sites currently do not display ads from third-parties, we may work with network advertisers, ad agencies, third-party traffic measurement services and other vendors to provide us with information regarding traffic on our Sites and through our Services, to serve our advertisements on other websites, within third-party applications, and across the Internet, and to provide us with information regarding the use of our Services and the effectiveness of our advertisements. In connection with providing analytics and advertisement services, our service providers may collect certain information about your visits to our Sites or other websites. We do not share Personal Information with these service providers, but they may set and access their own tracking technologies on your computer or device (including cookies and web beacons) and may otherwise collect or have access to information about you. Cookies and web beacons, including those set by third-party network advertisers, may be used to, among other things, target advertisements, prevent you from seeing the same advertisements too many times and to conduct research regarding the usefulness of certain advertisements to you. We may share Usage Information about visitors with third-party advertising companies, analytics providers and other vendors for similar purposes. While we may use a variety of service providers to perform advertising and analytics services, you may wish to visit the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”), which provides information regarding this practice by NAI members, including the “opt-out” procedures for NAI members or the Digital Advertising Alliance to see other companies opt out policies and other tools to manage your opt-out choices.

 

Local Shared Objects or Flash Cookies

 

Local Shared Objects, popularly known as, “Flash Cookies”, operate differently than browser cookies and cookie management tools available in web browsers may not remove flash cookies. We may use Flash Cookies in certain situations where we use the Adobe Flash Player (“Flash”) to provide content such as video testimonials, clips or animation. Flash is an application and web tool that allows rapid development of dynamic content. If you access any part of our Services that uses Flash, or similar technologies, a small Flash Cookie may be used. Flash cookies are ordinarily larger than browser cookies, and take up more space on a user’s computer allowing more information to be stored. Flash Cookies are used to remember settings, preferences and usage, similar to browser cookies, but are managed through a different interface than the one provided by your browser. “Flash Cookies” are stored on your computer in a similar way to standard cookies, except they are stored in a different location. Due to this, it is not possible to block or manage Flash Cookies directly from your browser. Adobe permits users to delete Flash Cookies as well as limit and disable the amount of information a Flash Cookie may store on the user’s computer.

 

Other Non-Personal Application and Mobile Application Data

 

We collect additional information through Applications that cannot be used to personally identify you (“Non- Personal Application Data”). Non-Personal Application Data ordinarily includes aggregate, summary, or other anonymous data. We also collect information about your device when you use our Applications, particularly our Mobile Applications, including the manufacturer of your device, the device model, the operating system used, the version of the application, and the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number. We also collect Non-Personal Application Data from your device such as screen usage data in aggregated form to improve our Applications and Services.

GoWall is based in the United States and by using our Services or otherwise providing your Personal Information to us, your Personal Data will be transferred to and processed in the United States.

“Safe Harbor” is a program that provides a way for US businesses to demonstrate that they provide adequate protection for Personal Information transferred to it according to certain international data protection standards. While GoWall itself is not presently Safe Harbor certified by the U.S. Department of Commerce, GoWall believes in and aligns itself with principles of the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework and the U.S.-Swiss Safe Harbor Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of Personal Information from European Union member countries and Switzerland and the transfer and other processing of personal data transferred from the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or Switzerland to the United States (the “Principles”). Further information on Safe Harbor and their Principles is available from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s website at https://export.gov/safeharbor/.

 

Data Storage and Location

GoWall uses third-party vendors and hosting partners to provide hardware, software, networking, storage, support or related technology required to provide our Services. Your information may be accessible by such third-party vendors for the purpose of enabling them to store such data in connection with the permitted uses of your information under this Privacy Policy. Our third-party service providers have an obligation to maintain the confidentiality of the information, except where disclosure is required by law, or as otherwise described in the Privacy Policy.

 

Protection of Personal Information and Security

To make sure your Personal Information is secure we communicate our privacy and security guidelines to our employees, representatives, service providers and strategic partners and strictly enforce privacy safeguards within and across our company. We employ generally accepted standards to keep Personal Information collected by or transmitted through our Services secure, both during transmission and once we receive it.

When you transfer sensitive information to us, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). We maintain commercially reasonable controls to protect against unauthorized review and use of Personal Information, including electronic safeguards such as security protocols, encryption, software and firewalls. In addition, we use qualified third-party vendors to provide the necessary hardware, software, hosting, networking, storage, and related technology required to provide our Services. These vendors utilize similar industry standard physical, electronic and technological security measures and are obligated to protect your information. Except as otherwise described herein, access to Personal Information is restricted to our authorized employees only.

California Privacy Rights

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits our users who are California residents to request certain details about what Personal Information a company shares with third- parties for the third-parties’ direct marketing purposes. We do not share your Personal Information with third- parties for their own direct marketing purposes unless we receive your permission. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to: 555 BRYANT ST, STE 818, PALO ALTO, CA, 94301.

 

Children

Our Services are not directed to anyone under 18 years of age. The minimum age (“Minimum Age”) to use our Services may mean different ages in different countries, depending on where the user accesses the Services. The Services are not designed nor intended for use by children or anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 13 or the Minimum Age. If we become aware that a child under 13 or the Minimum Age has provided us with Personal Information, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible. For reference, Minimum Age means (a) 18 years old for the People’s Republic of China, (b) 16 years old for the Netherlands, (c) 14 years old for the United States, Canada, Germany, Spain, Australia and South Korea, and (d) 13 years old for all other countries. However, if applicable law requires that you must be older than such ages in order for us to lawfully provide the Services to you (including the collection, storage and use of your information in accordance with our privacy policy) then the Minimum Age would be such older age. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child or anyone under the Minimum Age has provided us with Personal Information without their consent, please contact us at: support@gowall.com.
