Updated: 2018-04-01 (YYYY-MM-DD).
DOCKTERA (referred to as “We”, “Us” or “Our”) is concerned about the privacy of information provided to Us and to third parties with whom We do business. Because everyone’s definition of privacy is different, it is important that You review this policy to learn what We consider to be private information, and each of Our rights and responsibilities towards this information. This privacy policy is part of Your agreement with Us, or, if You do not have an agreement, it governs information You provide to Us. Terms that are not defined in this policy are defined in Your agreement with Us.
It is important that You review this policy from time to time, particularly if Your business changes, or if You begin to send Us new types of information. It is Our goal to limit the number of changes We make to this policy. If We do make a change, We will notify You. Other than in an emergency, We will give You thirty (30) days prior notice of any change, and the new policy will be effective on the thirty-first (31st) day of Our notice. If such a change materially interferes with Your ability to use the Services in the manner You used them prior to the change, and such a use was not previously prohibited by law or Our policies, You may terminate the Services You purchase from Us with no termination charge.
It is important for You to know that all information We collect may be provided to law enforcement officials, government entities or pursuant to civil litigation demands. We will notify You of such a request except in the following circumstances: We are required not to by law, or We receive a request from a law enforcement agency not to do so. Because laws and regulations differ, We do not guarantee that information We provide to law enforcement, regulatory and government entities will be kept confidential.
What information does DOCKTERA collect?
There are three types of information that We collect:
- Information that is required by Us to provide Services to You;
- Information that is automatically collected by Us;

Examples of billing information may include credit card number, bank information, billing address, billing contact name, telephone numbers and email address. Billing information may identify You personally.
- Password information. This is information that allows You to access the Services, technical support and any third party services provided through Us. Examples of password information may include user id, account number and password. Password information does not identify You personally, but when associated with other information, it may.
- Technical information. This is information that allows Us to configure the Services so that they are more easily provided to You. Examples of technical information may include Your IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, operating system, and affiliate id. Technical information does not identify You personally, but when associated with other information, it may.
- Voluntary information. This is information You choose to provide to Us and that is not necessary for the operation of the Services. Examples of voluntary information include submissions to Our knowledge base, Your endorsements of Us and Your connections to Us in social networks. It is Your decision whether You include information that identifies You personally when You provide voluntary information to Us.

You may voluntarily connect with Us on many different social networking platforms. Their privacy policies, not this privacy policy, govern Our use of that information. We may use social networking information to the fullest extent permitted by the privacy policies of the provider.
Will DOCKTERA sell information?
Contact information, billing information, password information and technical information will only be sold in conjunction with the sale of all or a portion of Our business.
(Electronic) communication
You have the right to ask Us to be excluded from Our (electronic) communication such as newsletters and invites. (Electronic) communication with a marketing purpose may be sent to You by Us. The products and services that are being marketed through (electronic) communication are directly associated with Our business to offer new or improved products and services We provide.
In case of third party (electronic) communication, You have the right to ask Us not to process Your information for external marketing purposes. We will inform You (at the moment of collecting Your information) if We intend to use Your information for such purposes or if We intend to disclose Your information to any third party for such purposes. Therefore, We will not be able to process Your information for marketing purposes unless We expressly obtain Your consent for it. Third party information may be shown in Our (electronic) communication when a purpose or a connection to Our business is relevant.
Can I opt out?
You may at any time opt out of receiving information about Our business, products, and services We offer. Simply uncheck the mailing list option under the contact information section in Your customer portal. Once You provide voluntary information to Us, You may not opt out of its use.
If You are a current customer that uses the Services provided by Us, You can not opt out from critical (electronic) communication that may inform You of performance changes or other associated and relevant information.
Non-billed customers, visitors, and contacts that are stored in Our (customer) relationship management systems have the right to ask to be removed at any time as well as receive their information stored on Our (customer) relationship management systems. The non-billed customers, visitors, and contacts are opted in through affiliation, contact with Us, or former users of Our Services with consent from both parties in all cases.
How do I modify information DOCKTERA collects?
To change any of the information set out in this policy, other than voluntary information, You need to log into Your customer portal and modify it. For information We control, these changes will be immediate. However, it may take some time for third parties to change Your information. This is particularly true of certain types of contact information and technical information. For example, if You change Your contact information, it may take several days for a domain name registrar to make those changes. You should never assume that any changes to that type of information will be immediate. Once You provide voluntary information to Us, You may not change it.
Information tracking
Our website uses information tracking techniques. These techniques may be cookies, single-pixel gifs (web beacons) or other technology that provides Us with information about Your activities on Our website and the internet in general. Information tracking techniques do things like keep track of Your preferences and profile information so that You do not have to enter that information each time You visit Our website (“Preferences”), or to modify Our website so that it presents information to You that We believe You will find helpful. Information tracking techniques may also collect usage and volume statistical information. Other than Preferences, no personally identifiable information is collected by Us. We do not provide the Preferences to third parties.
If You do not want Your Preferences stored on Your computer, You can deselect this option when You are asked for this information. If You wish to change the Preferences after You chose to have them stored, You may log into Your customer portal and change them. For information collected other than the Preferences, it is Your obligation to configure Your browser so that this information is not collected and to revoke Your cookie consent.
How does DOCKTERA secure information?
When You provide Us with information covered by this policy it is protected by encrypted SSL. The information is stored on secured servers configured to allow only authorized access. This information is encrypted when required by the laws that generally apply to Our industry or as required by Our vendors.
No information transmitted on the internet, nor stored on servers, is 100% secure. The methods set out above are industry standard security measures. Nevertheless, dishonest people exist, software and hardware can malfunction and people make mistakes. As a result, We cannot guarantee that any information covered by this policy will be absolutely secure.
