Personally Identifying Information

The Service is not designed and not intended to store, process, or use any Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”).

The information you provide us as part of your registration and other communication with us, may include your own PII, which is information that can be used to uniquely identify, contact, or locate or otherwise identify you. We do not collect PII except when provided voluntarily by you. We do not rent, sell or disseminate PII to third parties without your consent, other than:

• disclosure to our employees, consultants, contractors, service providers and suppliers. Such disclosure is normally subject to the recipient’s undertaking of confidentiality obligations and the prevention of any independent right to use this information by the recipients, except as required to help us provide the Service.

You may choose voluntarily whether or not to provide us with your PII. You may request access to all your voluntarily-provided PII that we collected online and maintain in our database by sending a written request to contact@wp-social-proof.com.

Use of Non-Personally Identifying Information

We may provide to third parties certain information about you without identifying you as an individual. We do this for purposes such as (1) providing statistical and aggregated data to researchers and other data consumers; (2) analyzing how the Service is used; (3) diagnosing and resolving technical problems; (4) maintaining security. We reserve the right to use and disclose any anonymized information at our discretion.

We will respond to your request in a timely manner, normally within thirty (30) days. Upon such request, we will make our best efforts to remove all your PII from our database. However, please note that some information may not be deleted from all databases and backup records. We may also retain certain PII for customer service, legal and similar purposes. We reserve the right to keep all non-PII and continue to use such non-PII in accordance with this Policy after the termination of your account and deletion of all your PII.

We use industry standard measures to ensure the security of all information, including the use of passwords, firewalls, encryption and remote servers, and routinely evaluate our practices to identify security threats or opportunities for the improvement of our Service.
