Privacy Policy
Effective Date: April 23, 2021
1. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
We collect two basic types of information:
- Personal Information (PI): PI is information that identifies you as an individual, such as your
name, email address, phone number, and any other element of information that helps identify you. As
of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we do not require you to provide any type of PI to
create and edit documents on our Site. If you elect to register and/or purchase a subscription to
use our Service, you may provide us with certain elements of PI under the following
circumstances:
- Registration: To save a document, you must register to use our Service. To register, we request you to provide us with your email address and a password.
- Subscription: If you purchase a subscription to obtain a higher level of service, we request that you provide us with your name, address, phone number, and payment information (i.e., a credit or debit card).
- Saving and Storing: The content of the documents you create, save, and store on our Site may include PI belonging to yourself or others. The nature and extent of whatever PI is included in your documents is obviously outside of our control.
- Third-Party Login: If you choose to log in to our site through Google or Facebook, you are granting us permission to access and use certain information about you that you choose to include in your social media profile.
- Help Forum: If you post a question in our user help forum, it will be visible to other users. To the extent possible you should avoid including your name or any other element of PI when posting or answering questions.
- IP Address: We also record your computer IP address whenever you visit our Site. Under ordinary circumstances, an IP address recorded in isliation is not PI under the standard definition of the term. However, it may become PI when it is combined with other information.
- General Information: General Information consists of information that is anonymous in nature and does not identify you as an individual. We use cookies to collect General Information. A “cookie” is a type of software used to gather and store visitor information. The General Information we collect includes (but is not limited to) your computer IP address (when not tied to your particular account), unique mobile device identifier, browser type, ISP or carrier name, and the URL of the last webpage you visited before visiting our website. We also use analytical tracking and usage analysis software to collect General Information about online behaviors, which are further discussed in Section 7 below.
2. HOW DO WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT?
We use the PI you provide to us when you register to identify you as a genuine User and
to process your payment (if applicable). We use your email address to contact you regarding your account,
and may also send you non-account related promotional emails regarding products and services we believe may
be of interest to you. You may request that we stop sending you promotional emails at any time by clicking
the “Unsubscribe” link included with each email. We use the General Information we collect to obtain
insights on how people use our Site. We use this information for various internal business purposes, and to
ensure that our Site continues to appeal to our users.
3. HOW DO WE SHARE INFORMATION?
We do not sell or broker any of the information you provide to us to third parties for
marketing purposes absent your prior, express consent. We will share information with third parties in the
following ways:
- Service Providers: We contract with other companies and individuals to perform functions or services on
our behalf, such payment processing, data storage and analysis, hosting the website, and monitoring
website activity. We necessarily have to share your information with such third parties as may be
required to perform their functions. As of the effective date of this policy, we share information with
the following service providers:

We also may disclose such information to exercise or protect legal rights or defend against legal claims.
- Asset Transfers: In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these business transfers, customer information is typically one of the business assets that are transferred. If all or substantially all of our business assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that we go out of business or enter into bankruptcy, customer information (including PI), would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party.

4. HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION?
We use appropriate technical and organizational measures, including SSL encryption, to
protect your personal information against unauthorized or unlawful access, processing and against accidental
loss, destruction or damage. We also limit access to personal information about you to employees who
reasonably need access to it to provide our Site, or in order to do their jobs. However, because no
security system can be 100% effective, we cannot completely guarantee the security of any information we may
have collected from or about you. In addition, we have no control over the security of other web sites on
the Internet that you might visit even when a link may appear to those web sites site from our Site. If you
share your computer or use a computer that is accessed by the general public, remember to log off and close
your browser window when you have finished your session.

We reserve the right to retain PI and General Information we collect from you for
as long as we deem necessary to satisfy a business purpose.

We currently offer no options regarding the usage of any information we collect

7. HOW WE USE TRACKING TECHNOLOGY.

activities on our website over time, and to a certain extent across third-party websites. We
offer no response to browser Do-Not-Track requests, but you can prevent certain online tracking
applications (such as Google Analytics) from recognizing you on return visits to this Site by
