General information

This policy sets out our privacy practices and explains how we handle the information we collect when you visit and use our sites, services, mobile applications, products, and content (“Services”).

What we may collect

We collect information about what The Open Diaries pages you access, information about your mobile device (such as device or browser type), information you send us (such as an email address used to register or communicate with us), and your name as given by you.

When you use The Open Diaries Services, we may collect and store your Internet Protocol address. We may use this information to fight spam and other abuse; to personalize The Open Diaries Services; or to generate aggregate, non-identifying information about how people use The Open Diaries Services.

Email from The Open Diaries

Sometimes we’ll send administrative emails about account or service changes, or new policies. You can’t opt out of them. You can always opt out of non-administrative emails such as activity notifications.

We won’t email you to ask for your password or other account information. If you receive such an email, it is not originating from The Open Diaries.

Disclosure of your information

We may share your personal information with third parties in limited circumstances, including: (1) with your consent; (2) to a vendor or partner who meets our data protection standards; or (3) when we have a good faith belief it is required by law, such as pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies such as pixels and local storage to recognize you when you return to our Services. We use them in various ways, for example to log you in, remember your preferences (such as default language), evaluate email effectiveness, and personalize information.

By logging in you are opting to allow The Open Diaries to use cookies in order to provide you a personalized experience.

Some third-party services that we use, such as Google Analytics, may place their own cookies in your browser. This Privacy Policy covers use of cookies by The Open Diaries only and not the use of cookies by third parties.

Data Storage

The Open Diaries uses third-party vendors and hosting partners, such as Amazon, for hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology we need to run The Open Diaries. We maintain two types of logs: server logs and event logs.

Modifying your personal information or deleting your account

If you have a The Open Diaries account, you can access and modify your personal information, or delete your account at any time. To delete your account, go to mobile app -> profile -> edit profile -> delete account.

To protect information from accidental or malicious destruction, we may not immediately delete residual copies from our active servers and may not remove information from our backup systems.

If you delete your account, your account and content may be unrecoverable.

Data Security

We use encryption (HTTPS) to protect data transmitted to and from our site. However, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, so we can’t guarantee security. You use the Service at your own risk, and you’re responsible for taking reasonable measures to secure your account (like using a strong password).

Retention

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy.

Your Rights

You have certain rights with respect to your personal information, including the right to access, correct, update, or request deletion of your personal information.

Changes to this policy

The Open Diaries may periodically update this Policy. We’ll notify you about significant changes to it. The most current version of the policy will always be here.
