We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. If you have any questions or concerns about our policy, or our practices with regards to your personal information, please contact us at [email protected] .

Punchcut (“Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) understands that privacy is important to our users. This Privacy Policy describes our practices regarding the collection, use, sharing, and protection of your personal data for the website located at https://punchcut.com (the “Website”) and any services that we provide on the Website (the “Services”) (collectively, the “Properties”). This Privacy Policy also tells you about the rights and choices you have with respect to your personal data, how you can assert those rights, and how you can contact us to get answers to your questions. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the terms “you,” “user,” “consumer,” “individual,” and “data subject” are used as appropriate for the relevant legal framework and all refer to the person whose personal data is processed.

PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT FROM YOU

This Privacy Policy applies to the personal data that we obtain in various contexts. We use the term “personal data” – also called “personal information” or “personally identifiable information” in the laws of some jurisdictions – to refer to information that reasonably identifies, relates to, describes, or can be associated with you. Data that has been deidentified or that otherwise cannot reasonably be related back to a specific person is not considered personal data.

• The following are the categories and types of personal data that we or our third-party partners may collect from or about you, depending on how you interact with the Properties:

• Device and online identifiers and related information, including internet protocol (IP) address, mobile ad identifiers, data collected from cookies, beacons, and pixel tags, and similar unique identifiers;

Personal Data We Collect Automatically

When you visit our Properties, we or third parties we work with may automatically collect certain information using technologies such as cookies and other tracking technologies described below.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

“Cookies” are pieces of information that may be placed on your computer by a website for the purpose of collecting data to facilitate and enhance your communication and interaction with that website. Such data may include, for example, the address of the websites you visited before and after you visited our Website, the type of browser you are using, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, which pages on the Website you visited and what links you clicked on, the region where your device is located, and geographic information based on your IP data. We may store some information on your device or device hard drive as a cookie or similar type of file (such as clear gifs, web beacons, tags, and similar technologies that work on mobile devices) to collect data related to usage of the Website. We may also use cookies to customize your visit to the Properties and for other purposes to make your visit more convenient or to enable us to enhance the Website. For additional information about our use of cookies on the Website, please see our Cookie Policy.

Clickstream Data

As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left at each website you visit. This information, which is sometimes referred to as “clickstream data,” can be collected and stored by a website’s server. Clickstream data can tell us the type of computer and browsing software you use and the address of the website from which you linked to the Website. We may collect and use clickstream data as a form of aggregate information to anonymously determine how much time visitors spend on each page of our Website, how visitors navigate throughout the Website, and how we may tailor our web pages to better meet the needs of visitors. This information will be used to improve our Website.

Analytics

We may work with third-party vendors who use the technologies described in this section to conduct website analytics to help us track and understand how visitors use our Website. One such provider is Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to help analyze how users use the Website. The information generated by these cookies about your use (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Website, compiling reports on Website activity, and providing other services relating to web page activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. By using the Website and accepting cookies, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above. Please refer to the currently available opt-outs for Google Analytics by visiting https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/. You may obtain additional information about Google Analytics by visiting the section titled “How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services,” located at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.

Social Media Platforms and Networks

If you interact with us on social media or use features, such as plugins, widgets, or other tools made available by social media platforms or networks (such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn) in connection with our Properties, we may collect information that you share with us on social media or that such platforms share with us. Please review the privacy policies and settings of the social media platforms and networks that you use for more information about their privacy practices.

We may create links to other websites that we think may be of interest to you, such as providers of various products and services. We do not endorse any other websites, providers, or services by providing such links, and this Privacy Policy applies only to your use of our Properties. We are not responsible for the privacy policies of any websites and services to which we link on our Properties, and you should read the privacy policies of each site you visit to determine what data that site may collect about you.

The Properties may also integrate with social media services. We do not control such services and are not liable for the manner in which they operate. While we may provide you with the ability to use such services in connection with our Properties, we are doing so merely as an accommodation and, like you, are relying upon those third-party services to operate properly and fairly.

If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us of the problem by using the information in the section below titled Contacting Us.

DATA RETENTION

We will retain your personal data for as long as needed to respond to your inquiries or to provide you with the Properties, and for a reasonable time thereafter in accordance with our standard procedures or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Even if we delete some or all of your information, we may continue to retain and use anonymous or aggregate data or any other data that constitutes non-personal data. While deletion is pending, we may securely store your personal data in backup archives in accordance with our routine data backup procedures, and if we do so, your data will be securely stored and isolated from any further processing until deletion is possible.
