We respect your privacy and believe that data security and privacy are critical to building our business. We’ve developed this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our commitment to your privacy and explain our practices regarding the collection, protection, usage, and disclosure of information within and related to draftbit.com (“Draftbit”, “we”, and “us”) and our products and services. By using our website, application, or other online services managed or created by us (collectively, our “Service”), you consent to your information being used in accordance with this Privacy Policy and you agree to consent and comply with our Terms of Service.
If you have any questions about our privacy practices, please contact us.
COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may collect Personal Information, including Sensitive Data, and other information from you as part of using Draftbit. “Personal Information” means individually identifiable information that would allow us to potentially determine the actual identity of, and contact information of, a specific living person.
Information You Provide
You may be asked to provide Personal Information when you create an Draftbit account and when you contact or interact with our Service. For example, in order to register as a user with Draftbit, you will be asked to verify your mobile phone number. In connection with Draftbit, you may be asked to connect to 3rd party services (such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc), sharing profile, contacts, calendar, or email related information. We may also collect your geolocation information with your consent.
Sensitive Data includes information, notes, or content (e.g. photographs, video, profile) that you optionally provide that may reveal attributes about your personality, ethnicity, nationality, or other attributes. By providing Sensitive Data to us, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of Sensitive Data as permitted by applicable privacy laws.
Information Collected Automatically or from Third Parties
We utilize various technologies, such as “cookies”, device IDs, advertising IDs, pixel tags and web beacons on our website and in our applications at Draftbit, and in email messages, advertisements, or other communications. These technologies help improve the user experience – for example by keeping a user logged in and remembering their username or other information between sessions.
Further, we may collect information automatically through the use of our Service, and may utilize third-party providers of data to provide us with additional Personal Information about you or your usage of our Service. We do this only to improve your experience.
By using the Service, you are authorizing us to gather, parse and retain Personal Information and Sensitive Data related to the providing our Service. When you provide, or when we collect, personal information through our Service, the information may be sent to servers located in the United States and countries around the world.
USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may use information that we collect about you to:
• deliver and improve our products and services, and manage our business;
• manage your account and provide you with customer support;
• perform research and analysis about your use of, or interest in, our products, services, and content;
• communicate with you by email, telephone, or mobile devices about products or services that may be of interest to you;
• track your usage via website or mobile application analytics;
• verify your eligibility to use our products, and in connection with contests or sweepstakes;
• enforce or exercise any rights in our Terms of Use; and
• perform functions or services as otherwise described to you at the time of collection.
For the sake of clarity, because we think Privacy is critically important:
• We will never sell your Personal Information to 3rd party companies. We may share limited amounts of your Personal Information with 3rd parties, but only in a manner consistent with the Third Party Disclosures in this Policy.
• We may use your Personal Information in connection with retrieving additional data about you from Third Parties. For example, we may use your email address to retrieve (from a Third Party) a list of your social media accounts or biographical information about you.
• We may share limited amounts of your Personal Information with other users of Draftbit, in connection with their use of the Service, just as we may show limited amounts of others Personal Information to you. This limited information may include, but is not limited to, your name, photo, and biographical information.
• We may occasionally use Personal Information to send you important notices such as software updates or notices related to your purchased and billing status, changes to this or other policies, or significant changes to our products or services. Because this information is critical in nature, you may not be able to opt-out of receiving these notices while you maintain an account with Draftbit.
AGGREGATED AND/OR NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may use and share non-personal information we collect under any of the above circumstances. We may combine non-personal information we collect with additional non-personal information collected from other sources.
We also may share aggregated, non-personal information, or personal information in hashed, non-human readable form, with third parties, including advisors, advertisers and investors, for the purpose of conducting general business analysis, advertising, marketing, or other business purposes. Aggregated data is considered Non-Personal information and is not used to identify a person.
For example, we may engage a data provider who may collect log data from you (including IP address and information about your browser or operating system), or we may employ multiple third-party analytics or data analysis tools to better understand how users engage with Draftbit, and to help us improve the Service.
To opt out of the sharing of your non-personal information, including geolocation information, please discontinue use of the Draftbit application.
COLLECTION AND USE OF DATA FROM CONNECTED SERVICES

By connecting these accounts, you authorize us to retrieve data such as calendar events, email metadata, friends, followers, profile data, and other data that these services allow us access to, on your behalf. We collect this data to provide you a better experience using Draftbit.

If you close your account, we will retain certain data for analytical purposes and recordkeeping integrity, as well as to prevent fraud, enforce our Terms of Use, take actions we deem necessary to protect the integrity of our Service or our users, or take other actions otherwise permitted by law.
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We take security seriously, and are employing measures to help safeguard your personal information from unauthorized access and disclosure. We take industry standard precautions including using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), encryption, and OAuth for Connected Services where possible.
However, no system can be completely secure. Therefore, although we take steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information, chats, or other communications will always remain secure. Users should also take care with how they handle and disclose their personal information and should avoid sending personal information through insecure email. Should an illegal attack or breach occur, we will notify you in accordance with local law and we will supply the appropriate authorities with available information on the third party in the event the attack comes under prosecution.
Further, it is your responsibility to keep any authentication methods, passwords, or tokens used with Draftbit private and secure. We strongly recommend against sharing your logins and passwords with others.
CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
Although our Service is a general audience Service, we restrict the use of our service to individuals age 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal information from children under the age of 18. If we become aware that a person under the age of 18 has provided us with information, we will take actions to delete such information.
ONWARD TRANSFER AND CONSENT TO INTERNATIONAL PROCESSING
We are a growing corporation with users and operations in multiple countries, including the European Union. We have developed data practices designed to assure information is appropriately protected but we cannot always know where personal information may be accessed or processed. While our primary data centers are in the United States, we may transfer personal information or other information to our offices outside of the United States. In addition, we may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. If we disclose personal information to a third party or to our employees outside of the United States, we will seek assurances that any information we may provide to them is safeguarded adequately and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the requirements of applicable privacy laws.
If you are visiting from the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use, please note that you are agreeing to the transfer of your personal data, including sensitive data, by Draftbit from your region to countries which do not have data protection laws that provide the same level of protection that exists in countries in the European Economic Area, including the United States. By providing your personal information, you consent to any transfer and processing in accordance with this Policy.
EU-U.S. PRIVACY SHIELD AND SWISS-U.S. PRIVACY SHIELD
When transferring data from the European Union, the European Economic Area, and Switzerland, Draftbit relies upon a variety of legal mechanisms, including contracts with our users. Draftbit complies with the EU-U.S. and Swiss–U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union, the European Economic Area, and Switzerland to the United States.

Draftbit also will take reasonable steps to enable individuals to correct, amend, or delete personal data that is demonstrated to be inaccurate.
