Privacy Policy:
Skipta considers privacy important. This Policy
applies to all of the products, services and websites offered by Skipta or affiliated
companies (collectively, Skipta services).
If you have any questions about this Policy,
please feel free to contact Skipta through our website or write to us at 416 ½ North

Information collected by
Skipta and how we use it:
You can use a number of services that do not
require you to register for an account or provide any personal information to us.
For other services, we may collect the following types of information:
-
Information you provide - When you sign up for a Skipta account or other Skipta
service or promotion that requires registration, we ask you for personal information
(such as your name, email address, and account password). Skipta may combine information
obtained about you from various sources or inputs. For certain services, we may
give you the opportunity to opt out of combining such information. We may process
personal information to provide our own services. In some cases, we may process
personal information on behalf of and according to the instructions of a third party,
such as our advertising partners. If you decline to provide information, we may
not be able to provide certain services to you.
-
Purposes - Skipta may use information you provide for purposes of:
- Providing our products, services and advertising to
users, including the display of customized content and advertising;
- Analysis in order to maintain, protect and improve
our services;
- Ensuring the technical functioning of our network;
and
- Developing new services
-
Usage Information - We may record information about your usage, such as when you
use Skipta, what you use and the contacts you communicate with, as well as information
you display or click on in Skipta (including UI elements, settings, and other information).
If you are logged in, we may associate that information with your account. We may
use processes to track which emails are opened by recipients.
-
Location of information - Skipta currently stores information on servers located
in the United States.
-
Skipta cookies - When you visit Skipta, we send one or more cookies - a small file
containing a string of characters - to your computer that uniquely identifies your
browser. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service by storing user preferences
and tracking user trends. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies,
but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie
is being sent. However, some Skipta features and services may not function properly
if your cookies are disabled.
-
Log information - When you use Skipta services, our servers automatically record
information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website. These server logs
may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser
type, browser language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies
that may uniquely identify your browser.
-
User communications - When you send email or other communication to Skipta, we may
retain those communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your
requests and improve our services.
-
Affiliated sites - We offer some of our services in connection with other web sites.
Personal information that you provide to those sites may be sent to Skipta in order
to deliver the service. We process such information in accordance with this Policy.
The affiliated sites may have different privacy practices and we encourage you to
read their privacy policies.
-
Links - Skipta may present links in a format that enables us to keep track of whether
these links have been followed. We use this information to improve the quality of
our services and advertising.
-
Changes - If we propose to use personal information for any purposes other than
those described in this Policy and/or in the specific service notices, we will offer
you an effective way to opt out of the use of personal information for those other
purposes.
Information sharing
Skipta only shares personal information with
other companies or individuals outside of Skipta in the following limited circumstances:
-
We have your consent. We require opt-in consent for the sharing of any sensitive
personal information.
-
We provide such information to our affiliated companies or other trusted businesses
or persons for the purpose of processing personal information on our behalf. We
require that these parties agree to process such information based on our instructions
and in compliance with this Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and
security measures.
-
We have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such
information is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation,
legal process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce applicable Terms
of Service, including investigation of potential violations thereof, (c) detect,
prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) protect
against imminent harm to the rights, property or safety of Skipta, its users or
the public as required or permitted by law.
If Skipta becomes involved in a merger, acquisition,
or any form of sale of some or all of its assets, we will provide notice before
personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
We may share with third parties certain pieces
of aggregated, non-personal information, such as the number of users who searched
for a particular term, for example, or how many users clicked on a particular advertisement.
Such information does not identify you individually.
Information security
We take appropriate security measures to protect
against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction
of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing
practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard
against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data.
We restrict access to personal information
to Skipta employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in
order to operate, develop or improve our services. These individuals are bound by
confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination
and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.
Data integrity
Skipta processes personal information only
for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with this Policy or
any applicable service-specific privacy notice. We review our data collection, storage
and processing practices to ensure that we only collect, store and process the personal
information needed to provide or improve our services. We take reasonable steps
to ensure that the personal information we process is accurate, complete, and current,
but we depend on our users to update or correct their personal information whenever
necessary.
Accessing and updating
personal information
When you use Skipta services, we make good
faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information and either
to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request
if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business
purposes. We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested
to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests, and we may
decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require
disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be
extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on
backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise required. In any case where
we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge,
except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort.
Enforcement
Skipta regularly reviews its compliance with
this Policy. Please feel free to direct any questions or concerns regarding this
Policy or Skipta’s treatment of personal information by contacting us through
this web site or by writing to us at 416 ½ North Queen Street, Lancaster, PA 17603,
United States. When we receive formal written complaints at this address, it is
Skipta's policy to contact the complaining user regarding his or her concerns. We
will cooperate with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data
protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of personal
data that cannot be resolved between Skipta and an individual.
Changes to this policy
Please note that this Privacy Policy may change
from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Policy without your
explicit consent, and we expect most such changes will be minor. Regardless, we
will post any Policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we
will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification
of Policy changes). Each version of this Policy will be identified at the top of
the page by its effective date, and we will also keep prior versions of this Privacy
Policy in an archive for your review.
