PRIVACY POLICY

OUR COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY

Scrambls is a service of Wave Systems Corp. ("Wave"). Your use of the scrambls service and website is subject to the following privacy policy (the "Privacy Policy") and the scrambls terms and conditions ("Terms and Conditions") governing use of the service.

Wave is committed to protecting the privacy of scrambls users. Through scrambls we put users in control of their information so using the Web does not have to mean losing your privacy. We collect the minimum amount of information about you necessary for scrambls to share your messages with your contacts and to enable Wave to provide scrambls in the most efficient manner.

This document describes our commitment to uphold and reinforce your privacy by describing the nature of the information that we collect from you and how that information is used.

THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you create a scrambls account you provide us with a personal identifier, such as an email address, Facebook ID, LinkedIn ID, etc., and a password. This personal identifier serves as your unique identifier for the service. When you make a post on a website scrambls assigns a unique numerical reference to the post and records the website on which it was made. Scrambls also records the website where you have read scrambld posts. We do not collect the content of any post. Instead when a post is made random keys are assigned to the content (in a non-human readable form), and only those you have authorized are provided the keys allowing them to read the post. You may customize your account by assigning specific attributes of those that you authorize to read your posts. Some of these terms may be configured by you to reference personal information maintained on other sites such as Facebook or Google e.g. Facebook ID. This is only possible when you explicitly provide us the authority to regularly access such information on your behalf. The privacy policy of any such site would apply to that site's collection and use of your personal information.

Scrambls uses standard Google Analytics (www.google.com/analytics), which uses first-party cookies, which are text files placed on your computer, to measure site usage patterns. This service collects such information in aggregate and cannot be related directly to you. We also measure our own registration and service usage data. This information is also collected in aggregate and cannot be related directly to you unless explicitly stated below. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

HOW WE USE THIS INFORMATION

The information that you provide to scrambls is used solely for the purpose of operating, maintaining, improving and providing an efficient and customized service. We do not share your personal identifier information with any third parties, such as advertisers, developers, games, applications or websites, unless compelled to do so under an order enforceable under applicable law. As referenced above, we do collect aggregate, non-personally identifiable information relating to site usage for the purposes of analyzing, managing and improving the scrambls service.

Information relating to your account will be retained only as long as necessary to: (i) support the above described uses and support the scrambls service and (ii) comply with applicable legislation, regulatory requests and relevant orders from competent courts

If Wave or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, your information will generally be one of the business assets required to be transferred and, therefore, we reserve the right to include such information in any such transfer.

ACCESS TO YOUR ACCOUNT AND DELETING YOUR INFORMATION

You may access your account at any time to change or update your account information. You may also customize your account by defining, or modifying, specific attributes of those that you authorize to read your posts, such as domains, email addresses, time zones, etc.

Some of these terms/settings may be configured by you to reference personal information maintained on other sites such as Facebook or Google e.g. facebook ID. This is only possible when, by choosing to configure your account, you explicitly provide us with your consent and authority to regularly access such information on your behalf. The privacy policy of any such site would apply to that site's collection and use of your personal information.

If you decide to close your scrambls account all information we have gathered will be permanently deleted within 30 days of notification of your intent to close your account. Notice should be provided to [email protected].

If you delete your account, you will, within 30 days of deletion of your account, be provided with all keys related to your posts and a facility to access and read your posts.

SECURITY

All communications with our web site are encrypted using secure socket layer (SSL) technology. We employ data security techniques to appropriately and reasonably protect your information from unauthorized access by users inside and outside scrambls. Internal access to the information is limited to those employees who have a business need for that information.

MINORS

This site and the scrambls service are not intended to be used by children. We do not permit registration by, and will not knowingly collect or use any information from, anyone under 13 years of age.

If you choose to obtain information or purchase a product or service through a linked third party, any information you provide to that third party will be subject to its privacy policies, which may be substantially different from our policies. Such third parties may provide us information in the aggregate concerning visits to their sites.
