In order to provide you with this service effectively, we collect certain specific information from you, and we also automatically collect information and data relating to the usage of our services by all our users, including you. Because we are committed to protecting your privacy rights and the information you provide to us, we have developed this privacy policy. It explains how we will protect your information and describes how we will use and share it.

This policy describes the following practices:

  • Collecting information

Please be advised that any personal information that you voluntarily post to any public forum or to any area where third parties may legally access it, will NOT be considered confidential in any way, and Wriber will not have any obligation to protect it in a secured system or obtain your consent to its disclosure, as you will have made the decision to publicly post it. Wriber neither expects nor desires you to include any personal information, whether of yourself or of any third party, in any content that you may post or upload to Wriber’s site, and if you include any such personal information of yourself or any third party, it is your responsibility to obtain all relevant and informed consents to such inclusion. Wriber reserves the right to refuse to post, or to delete any posts or uploads, containing such personal information.

You contact Wriber directly

Customers and business partners often contact us directly. When you contact any Wriber employee by telephone, e-mail, in person, or through our website, you will be asked to provide consent to the collection of personal information if your personal information will help us deliver the information, products, or services you require.

You respond to communications from Wriber

From time to time, Wriber may invite you to provide us with information for specific purposes. We may ask for this information through feedback features on our website or software; we may send out e-mail inviting feedback or offering products and services; or we may ask you for information concerning support of our products or services. Your response to these communications may require you to submit personal information and opinions.

Your information is obtained through a third party

Occasionally, Wriber will obtain information about people from third parties, such as mailing list providers, third party service providers, ISPs, or third party application or account providers. Third-party providers are responsible for obtaining consent for the release of personal information to us from those individuals identified on mailing lists, surveys, or through other collection methods.

Third party collection of your information

Where other users post links to third party websites, please be aware that such third parties are not within Wriber’s control or responsibility, and your use or access to those sites may result in third parties collecting information from you.

You are encouraged to read the terms and other policies published by such third parties on their websites or otherwise.

Sharing your personal information

Subject to any exceptions stated above in the collection of information section, should Wriber collect any of your personal information, we will follow these practices regarding the distribution of that information.

Your personal information is protected

Wriber uses reasonable precautions to protect your personal information and store it securely. Access to your personal information is restricted to those personnel who need it, and Wriber takes reasonable steps to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information.

Wriber only uses and discloses your personal information if it helps us facilitate your needs, improve our products and services, meet legal and regulatory requirements, or — to the limited extent possible — manage our internal business operations. Additionally, if there are any disclosure or use restrictions in your consent to the collection of your personal information, Wriber will abide by those restrictions (subject to the consent exceptions listed below).

For example, your credit card information will only be used to bill you for the services that your have authorized or used. The account information provided as part of your registration for Wriber’s services will only be used to provide you with the services.

Wriber may combine your information with other information into an aggregate form, so your information no longer personally identifies you.

We share your information with your consent

Wriber provides your information to third parties only for purposes to which you have consented, and we require such third parties to keep your information confidential.

In a few situations, Wriber may be required to disclose your information without your prior consent. For example, Wriber may disclose your information if we are required to do so by law, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to:

  • comply with law or legal process
  • protect and defend our rights and property, or the rights and property of a third party
  • protect against misuse or unauthorized use of any of Wriber’s products, software, services, or other proprietary materials
  • protect the personal safety of any person

Wriber will always try to provide you with prior notice of such disclosure; however, such notice may not always be possible or reasonable given the circumstances.

Additionally, the nature of the services provided requires the routine use of your information in the provision of the services. Your personal information will only be used to the limited extent necessary to provide the services that you have requested, and may include the following uses:

  • to allow third party suppliers, vendors, contractors and other parties to provide products and services to us or to you, or to otherwise act on our behalf (this may include, without limitation, our authorization of such third parties to email our users regarding updates, surveys and other inquiries regarding their experience with our software and services); and
