End-user information from third parties
Thinkincode LLC will collect End User Data necessary to provide our services to our customers. End users may voluntarily provide us with information they have made available on social media websites. If you do, we may collect publicly available information from those websites. You can control how much is made public by visiting those websites and changing your privacy settings.
Customer information from third parties
We receive some information from third parties when you contact us. For example, when you submit your email address to show interest in becoming a Thinkincode LLC customer, we receive information from a third party that provides automated fraud detection services. We also occasionally collect information that is made publicly available on social media websites.
Do We Share the Information We Collect with Third Parties?
We may share the information that we collect, both personal and non-personal, with third parties such as advertisers, contest sponsors, promotional and marketing partners, and others who provide our content or whose products or services we think may interest you. We may also share it with our current and future affiliated companies and business partners, and if we are involved in a merger, asset sale or other business reorganization, we may also share or transfer your personal and non-personal information to our successors-in-interest.
We may engage trusted third-party service providers to perform functions and provide services to us, such as hosting and maintaining our servers and the website, database storage and management, e-mail management, storage marketing, credit card processing, customer service, and fulfilling orders for products and services you may purchase through the website.
We may share portions of our log file data, including IP addresses, for analytics purposes with third parties such as web analytics partners, application developers, and ad networks. If your IP address is shared, it may be used to estimate general location and other technographics such as connection speed, whether you have visited the website in a shared location, and type of device used.
We may also disclose personal and non-personal information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims, legal process (including subpoenas), to protect our rights and interests or those of a third party, the safety of the public or any person, or to otherwise comply with applicable court orders, laws, rules and regulations.
Where and when is information collected?
Thinkincode LLC will collect personal information that you submit to us. We may also receive personal information about you from third parties as described above.
How Do We Use Your Email Address?
By submitting your email address on this website, you agree to receive emails from us. You can cancel your participation in any of these email lists at any time by clicking on the opt-out link or other unsubscribe option included in the respective email. We only send emails to people who have authorized us to contact them, either directly or through a third party. We do not send unsolicited commercial emails, because we hate spam as much as you do.
By submitting your email address, you also agree to allow us to use your email address for customer audience targeting on sites like Facebook, where we display custom advertising to specific people who have opted-in to receive communications from us. Email addresses submitted only through the order processing page will be used for the sole purpose of sending you information and updates pertaining to your order.
If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, we include detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email.
How Long Do We Keep Your Information?
We keep your information only so long as we need it to provide Thinkincode LLC to you and fulfill the purposes described in this policy. This is also the case for anyone we share your information with and who carries out services on our behalf. When we no longer need to use your information and there is no need to keep it to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, we'll either remove it from our systems or depersonalize it so that we can't identify you.
How do we protect your information?
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order or enter, submit, or access your personal information. We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our Payment gateway providers database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights, and required to keep the information confidential.
After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) is never kept on file. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the absolute security of any information you transmit to Thinkincode LLC or guarantee that your information on the Service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by a breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
International Transfer of Information
Thinkincode LLC is incorporated in the United States of America. Information collected via our website, through direct interactions with you, or from use of our help services may be transferred from time to time to our offices or personnel, or to third parties, located throughout the world, and may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have laws of general applicability regulating the use and transfer of such data. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, by using any of the above, you voluntarily consent to the trans-border transfer and hosting of such information.
Is the information collected secure?
We take precautions to protect the security of your information. We have physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to help safeguard, prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use your information. However, neither people nor security systems are foolproof, including encryption systems. While we use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Can I Update or Correct My Information?
The rights you have to request updates or corrections to the information Thinkincode LLC collects depend on your relationship with Thinkincode LLC. Personnel may update or correct their information as detailed in our internal company employment policies.
Customers have the right to request the restriction of certain uses and disclosures of personally identifiable information. You can contact us in order to:
- Update or correct your personally identifiable information,
- Change your preferences with respect to communications and other information you receive from us, or
- Delete the personally identifiable information maintained about you on our systems (subject to the following paragraph), by cancelling your account.
Such updates, corrections, changes and deletions will have no effect on other information that we maintain, or information that we have provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such update. To protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting profile access or making corrections.
You should be aware that it is not technologically possible to remove each and every record of the information you have provided to us from our system. The need to back up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your information may exist in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate. If you are an end user and wish to update, delete, or receive any information we have about you, you may do so by contacting the organization of which you are a customer.
Sale of Business
We reserve the right to transfer information to a third party in the event of a sale, merger or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Thinkincode LLC or any of its Corporate Affiliates, or that portion of Thinkincode LLC or any of its Corporate Affiliates to which the Service relates, or in the event that we discontinue our business or file a petition or have filed against us a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Affiliates
We may disclose information (including personal information) about you to our Corporate Affiliates. "Corporate Affiliate" means any person or entity which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Thinkincode LLC, whether by ownership or otherwise. Any information relating to you that we provide to our Corporate Affiliates will be treated by those Corporate Affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Governing Law
This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the United States of America without regard to its conflict of laws provision. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in connection with any action or dispute arising between the parties under or in connection with this Privacy Policy except for those individuals who may have rights to make claims under Privacy Shield, or the Swiss-US framework.
The laws of the United States of America, excluding its conflicts of law rules, shall govern this Agreement and your use of the website. Your use of the website may also be subject to other local, state, national, or international laws.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Cookies
Thinkincode LLC uses "Cookies" to identify the areas of our website that you have visited. A Cookie is a small piece of data stored on your computer or mobile device by your web browser. We use Cookies to enhance the performance and functionality of our website but they are non-essential to its use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality like videos may become unavailable. Most web browsers can be set to disable the use of Cookies. We never place Personally Identifiable Information in Cookies.
Blocking and disabling cookies
Wherever you're located, you may also set your browser to block cookies and similar technologies, but this action may block our essential cookies and prevent our website from functioning properly, and you may not be able to fully utilize all of its features and services. Different browsers make different controls available to you. Disabling a cookie or category of cookie does not delete the cookie from your browser — you will need to do this yourself.
Cookies for advertising
These cookies collect information over time about your online activity on the website and other online services to make online advertisements more relevant and effective to you. This is known as interest-based advertising. They also perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing and ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers.
Remarketing Services
We use remarketing services. In digital marketing, remarketing (or retargeting) is the practice of serving ads across the internet to people who have already visited your website. It allows your company to "follow" people around the internet by serving ads on the websites and platforms they use most.
Tracking Technologies in use
- Google Maps API — A tool used to create custom maps, searchable maps, check-in functions, display live data synching with location, plan routes, or create mashups. Google Maps API may collect information from you and your device for security purposes, held in accordance with its Privacy Policy.
- Cookies — Used to enhance the performance and functionality of our platform; non-essential to use, but disabling may limit some features.
- Sessions — Used to identify areas of our website you have visited. A small piece of data stored on your computer or mobile device by your web browser.
- Facebook Pixel — An analytics tool that allows us to measure advertising effectiveness by understanding the actions people take on our website. May collect information from your device when you use the service, held in accordance with Facebook's Privacy Policy.
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
We may be collecting and using information from you if you are from the European Economic Area (EEA). In this section we explain exactly how and why this data is collected, and how we maintain protection against improper replication or use.
What is GDPR?
GDPR is an EU-wide privacy and data protection law that regulates how EU residents' data is protected by companies and enhances the control EU residents have over their personal data. It is relevant to any globally operating company, not just EU-based businesses. Our customers' data is important irrespective of where they are located, which is why we have implemented GDPR controls as our baseline standard for all our operations worldwide.
What is personal data?
Any data that relates to an identifiable or identified individual. GDPR covers a broad spectrum of information including a person's name, email address, financial information, political opinions, genetic data, biometric data, IP addresses, physical address, sexual orientation, and ethnicity. The Data Protection Principles include:
- Personal data collected must be processed in a fair, legal, and transparent way and should only be used in a way that a person would reasonably expect.
- Personal data should only be collected to fulfil a specific purpose and only be used for that purpose. Organizations must specify why they need the personal data when they collect it.
- Personal data should be held no longer than necessary to fulfil its purpose.
- People covered by the GDPR have the right to access their own personal data. They can also request a copy of their data, and that their data be updated, deleted, restricted, or moved to another organization.
Individual Data Subject's Rights — Access, Portability and Deletion
We are committed to helping our customers meet the data subject rights requirements of GDPR. Thinkincode LLC processes or stores all personal data in fully vetted, DPA-compliant vendors. We do store all conversation and personal data for up to 6 years unless your account is deleted, in which case we dispose of all data in accordance with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, but we will not hold it longer than 60 days.
California Residents
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) requires us to disclose categories of Personal Information we collect and how we use it, the categories of sources from whom we collect Personal Information, and the third parties with whom we share it. California residents may exercise the following rights:
- Right to Know and Access. You may submit a verifiable request for information regarding the categories of Personal Information we collect, use, or share; the purposes; the categories of sources; and specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you.
- Right to Equal Service. We will not discriminate against you if you exercise your privacy rights.
- Right to Delete. You may submit a verifiable request to close your account and we will delete Personal Information about you that we have collected.
- Right to opt out of sale. Request that a business that sells a consumer's personal data, not sell it.
If you make a request, we have one month to respond. We do not sell the Personal Information of our users.
California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)
CalOPPA users have the same rights described above — Right to Know and Access, Right to Equal Service, Right to Delete, and the right to request that a business not sell their personal data. If you make a request, we have one month to respond. We do not sell the Personal Information of our users.
Changes & Your Consent
