This Privacy Policy is based on the one at http://automattic.com/privacy/ – thanks very much to the kind people at WordPress.com for allowing the world to re-use their content via a Creative Commons Attribution Sharealike license. Naturally, this policy is also under the same licence.
Scale.nl (“Scale“) operates several websites including lifeboat.io as well as the Lifeboat Android and iOS apps. This privacy policy specifically relates to the lifeboat.io website and the Lifeboat Android and iOS applications (collectively “Lifeboat“). It is Scale’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites and applications.
Website Visitors and App Users
Like most website and app operators, Lifeboat collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Lifeboats purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Lifeboats visitors and customers use its products. From time to time, Lifeboat may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its services.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain users or visitors of Lifeboat choose to interact with Lifeboat in ways that require Lifeboat to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Lifeboat gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask customers who sign up for an account within the Lifeboat mobile applications to provide an email address. In each case, Lifeboat collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the user’s interaction with Lifeboat. Lifeboat does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
Lifeboat may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites and users of its iOS and Android applications. For instance, Lifeboat will monitor usage of meditations as well as the information entered by users as part of their self-assessment “check-in” process. Lifeboat may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Lifeboat does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Lifeboat 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 Lifeboat’s behalf or to provide services available on Lifeboat, 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 Lifeboat, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Lifeboat 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, Lifeboat discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Lifeboat believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Lifeboat, third parties or the public at large. If you have supplied your email address, Lifeboat may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Lifeboat. We primarily use our various blogs and social media accounts to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. 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. Lifeboat takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, Lifeboat may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Lifeboat’s sole discretion. Lifeboat 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.
