How we collect, use, and protect personally identifiable information when you use ratingCount. We keep this short, plain, and aligned with the practices we'd want for ourselves.
This privacy policy is written for those who care about how their Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is used online. PII, as defined in US privacy law, is information that can identify, contact, or locate a single person — either alone or combined with other data.
When ordering or registering on our site, you may be asked to enter your name, email address, or other details to help with your experience.
We collect information from you when you register on our site or enter information on our site.
We may use the information we collect when you register, make a purchase, sign up for our newsletter, respond to a survey or marketing communication, browse the site, or use certain features:
We do not use vulnerability scanning and/or scanning to PCI standards. We do use regular Malware Scanning.
Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights and are required to keep the information confidential. Sensitive credit information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
We implement a variety of security measures when a user enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain its safety. All transactions are processed through a gateway provider and are not stored or processed on our servers.
We honor Do Not Track signals — when a DNT browser mechanism is in place, we do not track, plant cookies, or use advertising for that visit.
We do not sell, trade, or transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties unless we provide you with advance notice. This excludes website hosting partners and other parties who help us operate the site, conduct business, or service you — provided they agree to keep the information confidential.
We may release information when we believe it is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect our or others' rights, property, or safety. Non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
