Privacy Policy | decipaint

Your privacy is critically important to us. At Decipaint we have a few fundamental principles:

We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.

Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals.

Decipaint operates the website decipaint.com and the Decipaint mobile app. It is Decipaint’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites and mobile apps.

WEBSITE VISITORS AND APP USERS

Like most website and mobile app operators, Decipaint collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that mobile devices and servers typically make available, such as the device type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Decipaint’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Decipaint’s visitors use its website and mobile apps. From time to time, Decipaint may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Decipaint also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for visitors to its websites and users of its mobile apps. Decipaint only discloses IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

AGGREGATED STATISTICS

Decipaint may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites and users of its mobile apps. However, Decipaint does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

PROTECTION OF CERTAIN PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION

Decipaint discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Decipaint’s behalf or to provide services available at Decipaint’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Decipaint’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Decipaint will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Decipaint discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Decipaint believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Decipaint, third parties or the public at large. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Decipaint takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Decipaint uses cookies to help Decipaint identify and track visitors, their usage of Decipaint website, and their website access preferences. Decipaint visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Decipaint’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of Decipaint’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

BUSINESS TRANSFERS

If Decipaint, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Decipaint goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Decipaint may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

ADS

Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Decipaint and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Although most changes are likely to be minor, Decipaint may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Decipaint’s sole discretion. Decipaint encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
