In Short: We collect information that you provide to us.

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register on our Services, express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and services when you participate in activities on our Services, or otherwise when you contact us.

All payment data, such as credit card numbers, security codes and zip codes are securely stored and processed by our current payment processor, Paddle, or our legacy payment processor, PayWhirl.

All personal information that you provide to us must be true, complete, and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes to such personal information.

  • To deliver targeted advertising to you. We may use your information to develop and display personalized content and advertising (and work with third parties who do so) tailored to your interests and/or location and to measure its effectiveness.

3. WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH ANYONE?

We are committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information and will never share or sell your information to third parties. However, your information may be shared internally with our development team and staff members for the purpose of improving our products and services, and providing you with better customer support. In the event that our business is sold, merged, or otherwise undergoes a change in control, your personal information may be shared with the acquiring entity as part of the transaction. In such cases, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your information continues to be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and any transfer of your data will be subject to applicable laws and regulations.

4. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

5. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, the transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

6. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

In Short: In some regions, such as the European Economic Area, you have rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information. You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time.

In some regions (like the European Economic Area), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; and (iv) if applicable, to data portability. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information. To make such a request, please use the contact details provided below. We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note however that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

If you are resident in the European Economic Area and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. You can find their contact details here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm.

If you are resident in Switzerland, the contact details for the data protection authorities are available here: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/en/home.html.

Premium Subscriptions

If you would at any time like to review or modify your StickyBot Premium subscription, you can use the ?premium command in your server to access links to your Premium subscription, including links to cancel the subscription.

Upon your request to cancel your subscription, we will deactivate your subscription at the end of the period for which you have already paid. Following deactivation, we may retain some information in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our Terms of Use, and/or comply with applicable legal requirements.

Opting out of email marketing: You can unsubscribe from our marketing email list at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails that we send or by contacting us using the details provided below.

7. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.

8. DO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?

In Short: Yes, if you are a resident of California, you are granted specific rights regarding access to your personal information.

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to us using the contact information provided below.

If you are under 18 years of age, reside in California, and have a registered account with a Service, you have the right to request removal of unwanted data that you publicly post on the Services. To request removal of such data, please contact us using the contact information provided below, and include the email address associated with your account and a statement that you reside in California. We will make sure the data is not publicly displayed on the Services, but please be aware that the data may not be completely or comprehensively removed from all our systems (e.g. backups, etc.).

9. DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS NOTICE?

In Short: Yes, we will update this notice as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws.

We may update this privacy notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated “Revised” date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. If we make material changes to this privacy notice, we may notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to review this privacy notice frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.

10. VISITOR ANALYTICS TECHNOLOGY: GOOGLE ANALYTICS 4

Our website utilizes Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”), to help us better understand user behavior on our site. GA4 allows us to analyze how visitors interact with our website, which in turn enables us to improve the overall user experience and optimize our content.

Information Collected and Processed by Google Analytics 4

Google Analytics 4 collects information about the usage of our website, such as page views, session duration, browser type, operating system, and geographic location. This information is gathered through the use of cookies and other tracking technologies. GA4 may also collect your IP address to help determine your approximate location. However, we have implemented IP anonymization to ensure that your IP address is partially masked before being sent to Google’s servers. As a result, your full IP address will never be stored or processed by Google.

The collected information is sent to Google’s servers in the United States, where it is stored and analyzed. Google uses this data to generate reports on website activity for us, and to provide other services related to internet usage. Google may also share this information with third parties when required to do so by law, or when such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.

Google Analytics 4 Data Retention

We have configured Google Analytics 4 to retain user-level and event-level data for a period of 26 months. After this period, the data will be automatically deleted from Google’s servers. Aggregated data used for reporting purposes will be retained indefinitely.

Opting Out of Google Analytics 4

If you would like to opt-out of Google Analytics 4 tracking, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which is available for most major web browsers. This add-on will prevent your information from being collected and used by Google Analytics. For more information and to download the add-on, please visit the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Changes to this Section

We may update this section of our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our use of visitor analytics technology or changes to Google Analytics 4’s data processing practices. We encourage you to periodically review this section to stay informed about our use of Google Analytics 4 and your related choices.

By using our website, you consent to the processing of your data by Google in the manner and for the purposes described in this section of our Privacy Policy.
