          Mobile Analytics

          We use mobile analytics software to allow us to better understand the functionality of our mobile software on your device. This software may record information such as how often you use the App, the events that occur within the App, aggregated usage, performance data, and where the App was downloaded from. We do not link the information we store within the analytics software to any Personal Information you submit within the mobile App.  However, information on individual usage of the Service, including, but not limited to, individual IP addresses, may be analyzed on a case-specific basis to resolve a technical difficulty or to assist in resolving or investigating any misuse of the Service.

          Accessing, Editing, and Removing Your Information

          Users may in some cases be able to review and edit the Personal Information they have provided to us by logging into their account on the Site and editing their account.  Although most changes may occur immediately, information may still be stored in a web browser’s cache.  We take no responsibility for stored information in your cache, or in other devices that may store information, and disclaim all liability of such.  In addition, we may, from time to time, retain residual information about you in our backup and/or database.

          5. Cookies

            We use cookies to remember your preferences.  For this reason, it is necessary that you enable cookies in your browser, and you hereby acknowledge that we have informed you of our use of cookies and that you consent to our use of cookies in relation to your computer system.

            6. Third Party Websites

              Wipebook may post links to third-party websites on its Site.  These third-party websites are not screened for privacy or security issues by Wipebook, and you release us from any liability for the conduct of these third-party websites.

              Please be aware that this Privacy Policy, and any other policies in place, in addition to any amendments, does not create rights enforceable by third parties or require disclosure of any Personal Information relating to members of the Service or Site. Wipebook bears no responsibility for the information collected or used by any advertiser or third-party website.  Please review the privacy policy and terms of service for each site you visit through third party links.

              7. Third Party Access to Your Information

                Although you are entering into an Agreement with Wipebook to disclose your Personal Information to us, we do use third party individuals and organizations to assist us, including contractors, web hosts, and others.

                Throughout the course of our provision of our Service to you, we may delegate our authority to collect, access, share, store, disseminate, and otherwise use your information.  For example, our web host stores the information that you provide us, and we may hire outside contractors to perform maintenance or assist us in securing our website.

                We are dedicated to protecting the privacy of your Personal Information when working with third parties.  It is our policy to request that our third-party providers sign a written agreement confirming that they will use Personal Information or other information we share with them solely for the purpose to assist us and not for anything outside the scope of the services they are providing to us.  While we may not always be successful in obtaining such an agreement for various reasons, we nevertheless attempt to facilitate access only to those third-party providers that share our respect for your privacy and adhere to privacy and security obligations in a manner consistent with our own policies and/or commercially reasonable practices; however, we cannot take responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of those third-party providers.

                It is therefore necessary that you grant the third parties we may use in the course of our business the same rights that you afford us under this Privacy Policy.  For this reason, you hereby agree that for every authorization which you grant to us in this Privacy Policy, you also grant to any third party that we may hire, contract, or otherwise retain the services of for the purpose of operating, maintaining, repairing, or otherwise improving or preserving our website or its underlying files or systems.  You agree not to hold us liable for the actions of any of these third parties, even if we would normally be held vicariously liable for their actions, and that you must take legal action against them directly should they commit any tort or other actionable wrong against you.

                Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you authorize us to collect, share, store, and otherwise use your information from time to time in conjunction with various applications and solutions that enable us to better manage our communications with you and improve the Service.

                8. Release of Your Information for Legal Purposes

                  At times, it may become necessary or desirable to Wipebook, for legal purposes, to release your information in response to a request from a government agency or a private litigant.  You agree that we may disclose your information to a third party where we believe, in good faith, that it is desirable to do so for the purposes of a civil action, criminal investigation, or other legal matter.  In the event that we receive a subpoena affecting your privacy, we may elect to notify you to give you an opportunity to file a motion to quash the subpoena, or we may attempt to quash it ourselves, but we are not obligated to do either.  We may also proactively report you, and release your information to, third parties where we believe that it is prudent to do so for legal reasons, such as our belief that you have engaged in fraudulent activities.  You release us from any damages that may arise from or relate to the release of your information to a request from law enforcement agencies or private litigants.

                  9. Commercial and Non-Commercial Communications

                    By providing information to the Site that forms the basis of communications with you, such as contact information, you waive all rights to file complaints concerning unsolicited e-mails from Wipebook since, by providing such information, you agree to receive communications from us or anyone else covered under this Privacy Policy.  However, you may unsubscribe from certain communications by notifying Wipebook that you no longer wish to receive solicitations or information and we will endeavor to remove you from the database.

                    10. Security Measures

                      We take certain measures to enhance the security of our Site and Service, including using SSL certificates.  However, we make no representations as to the security or privacy of your information.  It is in our interest to keep our website secure, but we recommend that you use anti-virus software, firewalls, and other precautions to protect yourself from security threats.

                       

                      11. International Transfer

                        Your information may be transferred to—and maintained on—computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction.  If you are located outside the Canada and choose to provide information to us, Wipebook transfers Personal Information to Canada and processes it there.  Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

                        12. Sale or Merger

                          In the event that Wipebook undergoes a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, we may transfer all of your information, including Personal Information, to the successor organization in such transition. If material changes to Wipebook’s privacy practices are known by us to occur as a result of the business transition, we will notify you and other users of the business transition prior to transferring your Personal Information.  We may otherwise disclose your information in connection with such business transition pursuant to your consent. 

                          13. Amendments

                            We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time.  When we amend this Privacy Policy, we will post the amended version on this page.  You must read this page each time that you use our Service, and your continued use of our Service shall constitute your acceptance of any such amendments.
