CROWD OX PRIVACY POLICY

This policy went into effect on June 1st, 2018. Last updated on June 1st, 2018

You must accept our privacy policy to use our website or our services. If you have questions about this policy, please contact us immediately. In the event we update this policy, we will revise the “last updated” date at the top. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this policy for any updates.

Please also see our Terms of Service for more information on the services we provide. This includes your use of those services and our website.

Sensitive Information. We do not knowingly accept sensitive information and will take reasonable steps under the law to destroy any sensitive information provided to us. Please do not provide us with any sensitive information, such as a social security number, driver’s license, birth date, tax number, identification card, civil registration number, health insurance information, or information about a child.

Project Creator Information. If you created a project on a crowdfunding platform, such as Kickstarter® or Indiegogo®, and have solicited our services for additional assistance, we typically collect and control some or all of the following information about you when you create an account on our website:

• Your full name;
• Your email address;
• Your project information;
• Your billing address;

Project Backer Information. This information is typically collected from the persons or company who created the project and was obtained from you through the prior crowdfunding platform you used. If you backed a project on a prior crowdfunding platform, we typically collect and process some or all of the following information about you:

• Your name or prior crowdfunding platform username;
• Your email address;
• The external identification number used to identify you;
• Which pledge, reward, or perk level you were on and how much you paid; and
• Additional information such as platform survey answers and notes

Payment Information. If we collect your billing address, we may keep it in an invoice for our records on a secure server, which is a protected, electronic filing cabinet that stores all of your information we have collected, our information, and information of others. If we collect your credit card or debit card information, it and your billing address is sent to our vendor to process your payment.

We do not store full credit card or debit card information.

IP Address. Some of the information we collect is identified by a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address, which is a unique number assigned to you by someone else, typically your internet service provider (ISP), such as Verizon® or Comcast®, or through a device, such as a router or modem, that allows you to connect to the Internet. While these numbers may appear to be nothing more than a string of numbers with periods, an IP address has the ability to potentially identify you. For example, in some circumstances, an ISP may be subpoenaed, which is a legal request for information, with such request asking an ISP to identify the account subscriber connected with an IP address that the ISP issued. In response, an ISP, subject to certain rights and responsibilities, may provide an account subscriber’s information, which may include the name, address, and other contact information of an account subscriber. While the likelihood of this circumstance is remote for most IP addresses, we wanted you to at least know why an IP address may be considered personal information as opposed to strictly anonymous information.

Cookies. We may collect anonymous information about you through the use of a cookie, which is a small piece of information stored on your computer and accessed by us when you are using our website.

Rejecting Cookies. Most web browsers are initially setup to accept cookies. However, if you prefer, you can set your browser to either notify you when you receive a cookie or to refuse to accept cookies. You should understand that some features of many websites may not function properly if you don’t accept cookies.

Anonymous Information. We may collect some or the following anonymous information about you:

• The operating system you are using, such as Microsoft Windows 10®;
• The web browser you are using to view our website, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer®;
• Your user agent, which helps us identify such things as your operating system and web browser; and
• The uniform resource locator (URL) you are accessing, which tells us the specific web address and certain pages on our website which you are viewing.

Our website may contain links to websites operated by other people or companies that are not controlled by us. We have no responsibility or liability for the policies, activities or content of these other websites. We store your information on a secure server as explained above and we exchange emails in a secure manner and using a secure software. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized persons will always be unable to defeat or circumvent our security measures. Therefore, we have additional measures in place to notify us if your information has been accessed by an unauthorized person. If such an event happens, we will take immediate steps to attempt to notify the public.

Project Creator. If you have an account on our website, you have the ability to access and edit some of the information we have collected about you. You also have the ability to request that your account be closed as well as request that we delete your information. You finally have the right, if we are able, to have us transfer your information to someone else. Please contact us for more information.

Project Backer. The Project Creator can handle requests of changing or deleting data as their role as a data controller. If you need help finding out which Project Creators to contact, please contact us . In the event that we collected some additional information directly from you, then you may have similar rights to a Project Creator, as identified in the paragraph above. If this is such the case, please contact us for more information.

Information received or collected does not expire or get deleted. This is due to the natural length of the process and the specific services that we provide. We do not control how someone other than ourselves keeps personal information, such as our payment vendor. We do not knowingly delete your personal information, unless requested to do so by the persons or company who provided us with the information or unless you or they do so themselves. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that your personal information will not be deleted, lost or changed due to unauthorized access of our website, server, email, or services, or due to other reasons beyond our control, such as failure of our electronic server.

For any other requests or concerns, please contact us .
