How we use your information
We use your information for the following:
Providing the HourADay.com service - We use information you provide to authenticate you and deliver system contacts and content to you and from you.
Understanding and improving our products - To make the product better we have to understand how users are using it. We have a fair bit of data about usage and we intend to use it many different ways to improve our products, including research. This policy is not intended to place any limits on what we do with usage data that is aggregated or de-identified so it is no longer tied to a HourADay.com user.
Investigating and preventing bad stuff from happening - We work hard to keep HourADay.com secure and to prevent abuse and fraud.
Communicating with you - Solving your problems and responding to your requests. If you contact us with a problem or question, we will use your information to respond to that request and address your problems or concerns.
In-product communications - We may use the information you provide to contact you through HourADay.com using in-product messaging tools. For example, if, after, a few days of using HourADay.com we notice that you have not yet added a contact, we may send you a HourADay.com notification suggesting a useful tutorial to watch to learn how to do this easily.
This is just one example of how we use information about your usage of the product to make suggestions to you.
Email Messages
We may send you service and administrative emails, such as when we notice that you are nearing the end of your credit balance. We may also contact you to inform you about changes in our services, our service offerings and important service related notices, such as changes to this policy or security and fraud notices. These messages are considered part of the service and you may not opt-out of them. In addition, we sometimes send emails to HourADay.com users about new product features or other news about HourADay.com. You can opt-out of these at any time.
Your choices
When you use HourADay.com, you have control over a number of things with respect to your own privacy and choices about how your contacts' information is visible to others or not. If you are a HourADay.com Owner or administrator, you have additional choices that impact your contacts' privacy.
Other Choices
The browser you use may provide you with the ability to control cookies or other types of local data storage.
Your mobile device may provide you with choices around how and whether location or other data is shared with us.
HourADay.com does not control these choices, or default settings, which are offered by makers of your browser or mobile device.
Sharing and Disclosure
There are times when communications and related content and other user information may be shared by HourADay.com. This section discusses only how HourADay.com may share user information. Organizations that use HourADay.com may have their own policies for sharing and disclosure of information they can access through HourADay.com. HourADay.com may share information:
With consent, to comply with legal process, or to protect HourADay.com and our users. When we have your consent or if we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation or legal request; to protect the safety, rights, or property of the public, any person, or HourADay.com; or to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues. If we receive a law enforcement or other third party request for information we will provide prior notice to the subject of the request where we are legally permitted to do so.
With third party service providers and agents. We may employ third party companies or individuals to process personal information on our behalf based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy. For example, we may share data with a security consultant to help us get better at preventing unauthorized access or with an email vendor to send messages on our behalf. We may also share data with hosting providers, payment processors, marketing vendors, and other consultants who work on our behalf.
Integrations. If you add an integration, HourADay.com may share information about you with the provider of the integration. HourADay.com is not responsible for how the provider of the integration may collect and use your data.
About you with your organization. We may share your email address and username with your organization. If the email address under which you've registered your account belongs to or is controlled by an organization (to be clear, we’re not talking about free web-based email providers like Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo! Mail) we may disclose that email address and associated usernames to that organization in order to help it understand who associated with that organization uses HourADay.com, and to assist the organization with its enterprise accounts. Please do not use a work email address for our services unless you are authorized to do so, and are therefore comfortable with this kind of sharing.
For Business and Research Purposes.
We may also share aggregated or de-identified information with our partners or other users for business or research purposes. For example, we may tell a prospective HourADay.com customer the average number of emails and push notifications sent by HourADay.com in a day or may partner with research firm or academics to explore interesting questions about follow up habits. Again, this policy is not intended to prohibit the disclosure and use of aggregated or de-identified data.
Security
HourADay.com takes reasonable steps to protect information you provide to us as part of your use of the HourADay.com service from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access or disclosure. These steps take into account the sensitivity of the information we collect, process and store and the current state of technology. When you enter sensitive information (such as sign-in credentials) we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). We follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal data submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no electronic or email transmission or digital storage mechanism is ever fully secure or error free.
Children’s information
HourADay.com is not directed to children under 13. If you learn that a minor child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may change this policy from time to time, and if we do we’ll post any changes on this page. If you continue to use HourADay.com after those changes are in effect, you agree to the revised policy. If the changes are material, we may provide more prominent notice or seek your consent to the new policy.
