INTRODUCTION
Welcome to CodeGrit, a web-based service ('the Service' or 'Website') provided by LingualBox, Inc ('LingualBox'). We respect your privacy and want you to know what information about you we collect and what we do with that information. In order to help you understand how the information you provide LingualBox will be used, the following Privacy Policy has been created. This Privacy Policy applies to all information we collect or receive from you.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
1. Registration Information.
You are not required to register or give us any personal information about yourself in order to visit the Website and or to view certain features made generally available on our Website. However, we may offer you the opportunity to register with us or to sign up for our mailing list. Although registration is not required to visit our Website, in order to access our premium features available on our Website, and in order to use certain other services that may be offered on our Website, you will be required to register and create an account with LingualBox ('LingualBox Account'). When you create your LingualBox Account, you will be required to provide certain personal information from you, including your first and last name, a user name (which will be your email address), the country in which you reside, your phone number and a password. At other times, you may also be asked to provide us with additional information, such as your age, gender, and other personal information about yourself in order to receive additional information about our services.
In addition, prior to using the Service, you may also be required to provide your credit card information and your billing address. If you authorize us to do so, we will retain your credit card information in our database to facilitate your checkout process for future transactions.
As part of the process to create an LingualBox Account or to participate in certain promotions offered by LingualBox such as entering sweepstakes, contests, surveys, newsletters, etc., in addition to name, email and address, you may be asked to provide certain information which, by itself, does not personally identify you. For example, you may be asked to provide information concerning your education or preferences, purchasing habits, and the like. LingualBox may request this information in order to enhance your online experience by understanding you better and to also make you aware of new services, programs or offers in which you may be interested.
2. Automatic Collection of Data.
You may be able to visit our Website and use certain of our services while remaining anonymous. However, whether you have registered with us or not, LingualBox may still collect certain non-personally identifiable information about your use of our services. For example, LingualBox might collect information concerning the type of Internet browser you are using, the type of computer operating system you are using, your IP address, your connection speed, the domain name of your Internet service provider, the geographic location from which you are accessing our service and/or the Website or advertisement from which you linked to the Website. Once you have registered with us, we also track and collect information about you, including your transactions with us, our affiliates, or others, and your site usage patterns, such as the pages on the Website you have visited, searches you have conducted and the amount of time you have spent on our Website. If you contact us, we may keep a record of your correspondence.
3. Cookies.
When you visit our Website or click through hyperlinks appearing thereon, or use one or more of our services, we may use an industry-wide technology called 'cookies' which stores certain information on your computer and which will allow us to customize your experience to better match your interests and preferences or simply facilitate your signing-in to use the services. Most browsers will allow you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block acceptance of cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please refer to your browser instructions or help screen to learn more about these functions. Please note, however, that if you set your browser to block acceptance of cookies, you may not be able to use the Service or enter our Website or it may otherwise adversely impact the functionality of the site.
4. Information We Receive From Our Affiliates.
You may also separately provide information about yourself to third party or co-branded sites through which we provide access to our service ('Affiliate Sites'). When you register with us, the Affiliate Site that you came from may provide us with your user/member name and password from such site. Some of those Affiliate Sites or other sites may share other information that you provide to them with us. By using our services, you agree to allow us to receive and use any information, except for credit card information that you may provide to such Affiliate Sites or other sites, under the same terms as if you provided it to us directly. Whether or not that Affiliate Site or other site actually shares your information and to what extent they do share with us will depend on their agreement with us and their individual privacy policy.
WHAT WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION
In general, LingualBox may use information about you to provide and improve its Service. LingualBox may share this information with the suppliers of content on the service, affiliates and other entities in non-personal form to show general demographic and preference information among users of the Service or for other purposes. This information may include usage and demographic data, but it will not include personal information (such as your email address).
As part of the Service, LingualBox may provide you feedback regarding your progress in the form of video messages hosted on third party websites, which messages can be viewed by other users of such third party websites. Although these video messages will not identify you by name or photograph, if you do not wish to receive such feedback, you will have the ability to opt-out of receiving and having such messages hosted on the third party websites.
If you provide LingualBox with personally identifiable information, we will take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect this information. Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, LingualBox will not disclose, share, sell or rent personally identifiable information collected on our Website to third-party organizations for their marketing or promotional use without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-out. If you ask to receive information from our affiliates by selecting this option in the future, we may share your registration information and information regarding your transactions on our Service with the studios and/or our affiliates. If you access our Service using a co-branded version of our Website that contains messaging that information will be shared with that affiliate whose company name is displayed on the co-branded site, any personal or non-personal information collected may be shared with that affiliate. Any use of such information by LingualBox will be subject to this Privacy Policy and any use of such information by the affiliate will be subject to this Privacy Policy and the affiliate's privacy policy. We do not share your credit card account information with Affiliate Sites or any other third parties, other than order processing and credit card clearance service providers as described below.
In order to keep you informed about our services, we may send e-mails and announcements that are needed for the administration of our Website and Service. We also may provide our users with the option of joining our mailing list to receive additional information about our Website, services and offers, including the services and offers of LingualBox, Inc. or its affiliates. Additionally, we may, from time-to-time, allow you to choose whether you would like to receive mailings from third parties with whom we have affiliate relationships. You will always have the ability to change your options by accessing your LingualBox Account. Each marketing e-mail from LingualBox will include instructions for how to unsubscribe from our mailing list.
We work with third parties who provide services, which may include website hosting, promotion fulfillment, order processing, credit card clearance, data analysis and other services of an administrative nature. Personal information, including financial information, may be shared with such third parties for the purpose of providing such services to you. We seek to impose confidentiality obligations on such service providers. Also, LingualBox, Inc., which owns LingualBox, will be able to use your personal information under the terms of this Privacy Policy. We also reserve the right to disclose personal information to third parties when we believe in good faith that the law requires it, to enforce our Terms of Service, to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of LingualBox or the public, to respond to an emergency, or as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy.
SECURITY
We use reasonable security methods to protect the data that resides on our servers. However, because no security system is impenetrable, we cannot guarantee the security of our servers. It is also possible that information you supply to us will be intercepted during transmission.
Whenever you give LingualBox sensitive information (e.g., credit card numbers), LingualBox will take commercially reasonable steps to protect such information by establishing a secure connection with your Web browser. LingualBo employs an industry standard technology known as a secure-socket-layer ('SSL') to protect the transmission of payment information to the Website. You can check the security of your connection by looking at the address in your browser window. After you have accessed a secure server protected by SSL, the first characters of the address will change from 'http' to 'https.'
To help protect your LingualBox Account information, please keep your password secure. Your password will be maintained on our system in encrypted form because LingualBox understands that privacy is important to you. LingualBox will generate a new password in case you forget it and send it to the email account you provided. This will not affect your settings in any way. We suggest that you pick a non-obvious password that mixes numbers and letters. In addition, we recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. Ultimately, you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and any LingualBox Account information.
Remember to sign out of your LingualBox Account, and close your browser window whenever you leave your computer. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information, because your computer may be accessible to others or used in a shared setting.
LingualBox's Privacy Policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, and therefore beyond LingualBox's control, and is not to be applied in any manner contrary to applicable law or governmental regulation.
CHILDREN
Consistent with the federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of thirteen (13) without requiring parental consent. Any person who provides their personal information to us through the Service represents that they are 13 years of age or older.
THIRD-PARTY ADVERTISERS
LingualBox may allow other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements within the Service. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on the Service. They automatically receive your IP Address when this happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize their advertising content.
LingualBox does not provide any personally identifiable information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in. However, please note that if an advertiser asks LingualBox to show an advertisement to a certain audience or audience segment and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they were trying to reach.
You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers or ad networks. LingualBox's Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such advertisers or other websites.
LINKS TO OTHER SITES
Linking to other sites is an integral part of the functionality of the Internet, including our Website. Any link to a page which displays a URL other than a domain name that ends in lingualbox.com in the address window of your browser is a link to a site outside of our service and thus outside the control of LingualBox. This includes links to our suppliers of content on the service, affiliates, and links to any other third parties that may be linked to LingualBox. These other sites may send their own cookies to you, collect data or solicit personal information. LingualBox cannot guarantee and is not responsible for the content of outside sites.
Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information on other sites (for example via message boards or chat), that information can be collected and used by people you don't know. While LingualBox strives to protect our visitors' personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security and privacy of any information you disclose at other sites, and you do so at your own risk. Please learn about the privacy and security practices and policies of external websites before providing them with personal information.
HOW TO REVIEW, UPDATE OR DELETE YOUR REGISTRATION INFORMATION
As part of your use of our Service, you are responsible for updating your submitted registration information so that it is both current and complete. In order to update your registration information, please access your LingualBox Account and make the desired change at your profile setting page. You may also access your LingualBox Account in order to change your user preferences such as unsubscribing to our mailing list.
Please note that by using our Website, you signify your agreement to this Privacy Policy, as it may be amended from time to time. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not use our Website or the services provided thereon. We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy. We will provide notice to you of any material changes by any reasonable means including sending an email to the most recently updated address in your LingualBox Account and/or posting such notice and the amended policy on the LingualBox Website. Your continued use of our Website following changes to this Privacy Policy will mean that you accept and agree to the changes and that any information collected or provided after such change will be governed by the updated Privacy Policy.
