Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us. At Geenee we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:
We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.
Geenee operates several websites including Geenee.com. It is Geenee’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Privacy for Developers

As a Developer, by registering for a Geenee account, we receive and store any information you knowingly provide to us. For example, through the registration process and/or through your account settings, we may collect Personal Information such as your name, email address, phone number, and employer, as well as commercial information such as billing and payment information. Certain information may be required to register with us or to take advantage of our Services. If you use Geenee payment gateway, we share some of this information with our payment processing provider, Stripe, in order for them to carry out onboarding and identity verification. Where information is shared with Stripe for these purposes, it will be processed in accordance with Stripe’s Privacy Policy, which can be found at https://stripe.com/privacy.

We may communicate with you if you have provided us the means to do so. For example, if you have given us your email address, we may send you Geenee marketing and promotional emails, or email you about your account and use of our Services. We may receive a confirmation when you open an email from us. This confirmation helps improve our communications with you and makes them more interesting. If you do not want to receive communications from us, please indicate your preference by contacting [email protected].

Privacy for End Users

Any Developer that uses our Services to create Third-Party Content using our Hosting Services or Self-Hosted may be collecting additional Personal Information for their own products or services when you visit their site. Geenee is not in control of additional data that may be collected by a Developer for this content. When accessing, viewing and/or interacting Third-Party Content you should consider the privacy practices and policies of each Developer carefully.

If you make a purchase in first-party or third-party content, we use a third party payment processor, Stripe, to process your purchase. The processing of this data is covered by Stripe’s privacy policy, which can be found at https://stripe.com/privacy. Geenee does not store your credit or debit card details.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Geenee collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Geenee’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Geenee’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Geenee may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Geenee also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Geenee only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Geenee’s websites choose to interact with Geenee in ways that require Geenee to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Geenee gathers depend on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive Geenee updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, Geenee collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Geenee. Geenee does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Geenee may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. Geenee may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Geenee does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Geenee discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Geenee’s behalf or to provide services available at Geenee’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Geenee’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Geenee will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Geenee discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Geenee believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Geenee, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of Geenee website and have supplied your email address, Geenee may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Geenee and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Geenee takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

We provide you with the ability to access, modify and erase your data. We store data until it is no longer necessary to provide our services, or until your account is deleted – whichever comes first. When you delete your account, we delete the username, the profile information, the experiences you have developed, etc. If you follow the instructions and click “Delete your account permanently”, your account will be deleted permanently and we will not be able to recover any information previously stored.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Geenee uses cookies to help Geenee identify and track visitors, their usage of Geenee website, and their website access preferences. Geenee visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Geenee’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of Geenee’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Business Transfers

If Geenee, or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Geenee goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Geenee may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Ads

Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Geenee and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Comments

Comments and other content submitted to Akismet anti-spam service are not saved on our servers unless they were marked as false positives, in which case we store them long enough to use them to improve the service to avoid future false positives.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, Geenee may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Geenee’s sole discretion. Geenee encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
