Premium Plans on Hushbunny

Inc., and can be revoked anytime. Beyond 100MB, Hushbunny offers
two premium plans for its users. One plan is a monthly plan which
offers every 100GB storage for $1.99 monthly, and another plan is
an annual plan which offers every 100GB storage for $19.99 per
year. When user storage goes beyond the first 100GB, users will be
automatically charged for the next 100GB (depending on their
monthly or annual plan). All monthly payments would be received at
the beginning of the month and will be for the whole month. If a
plan is canceled in the middle of the month, it won’t be pro-rated
as storage charges all for the whole month, collected at the

it is received for the whole year, canceling it will only cancel
auto-renew, and there won’t be any prorated refunds. If any plan
is canceled during its active phase, only auto-renewals would be

Cookies and Similar Technologies
“Cookies” are pieces of information that may be placed on your
computer by a service for the purpose of facilitating and
enhancing your communication and interaction with that service.
Many services use cookies for these purposes. We may use cookies
(and similar items such as clear gifs, web beacons, tags, etc.) on
our Service to customize your visit and for other purposes to make
your visit more convenient or to enable us to enhance our Service.
We may also use and place cookies (and similar items) on your
computer from our third party service providers in connection with
the Service, such as an analytics provider that helps us manage
and analyze Service usage, as described more fully below. In
addition, our advertisers and business partners may set cookies
and similar items on your computer when you use our Service. You
may stop or restrict the placement of cookies on your computer or
flush them from your browser by adjusting your web browser
preferences, in which case you may still use our Service, but it
may interfere with some of its functionality. Cookies and similar
items are not used by us to automatically retrieve personally
identifiable information from your computer without your
knowledge.
If you delete your cookies, change browsers or use a different
cookie, our cookie (or an opt-out cookie) may no longer work and
you will have to re input (or opt-out) again.
Analytics and Conversion Tracking
We may use analytics services that use cookies, javascript and
similar technologies to help us analyze how users use the Service.
The information generated by these services about your use of the
Service (including your IP address or a truncated version of your
IP address) is transmitted to and stored by analytics service
providers on their servers. Those service providers will use this
information for the purpose of evaluating your, and other users’,
use of the Service, compiling reports for us on website activity
and providing other services relating to website activity and
Internet usage.
We may collect information about your computer, including your IP
address, device information, operating system and browser type,
for system administration and in order to create reports. This is
statistical data about our users’ browsing actions and patterns,
and does not identify any individual.
For example, we use cookies on our site for Google Analytics (the
“Analytics Service”) and various other analytics tools. The
Analytics Service is a web-based analytics tool that helps website
owners understand how visitors engage with their website. The
Analytics Service customers can view a variety of reports about
how visitors interact with their website so that they can improve
it.
Like many services, the Analytics Service uses first-party cookies
to track visitor interactions as in our case, where they are used
to collect information about how visitors use our site. We then
use the information to compile reports and to help us improve our
site.
Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s
hard drive. These cookies are used to store information, such as
the time that the current visit occurred, whether the visitor has
been to the site before and what site referred the visitor to the
web page.
The Analytics Service collects information anonymously. They
report website trends without identifying individual visitors. We
may also use Google conversion tracking and/or similar services to
help us understand your and other users’ use of the Service, and
we are not liable to put here the links on how to opt out of those
different services we use for our analytics needs.
Automatically Collected Information
When you access the Service or open one of our HTML emails, we may
automatically record certain information, clicks/click throughs
etc. from your system by using cookies and other types of tracking
technologies. This "automatically collected" information may
include Internet Protocol address ("IP Address"), a unique user
ID, device type, device identifiers, browser types and language,
referring and exit pages, platform type, version of software
installed, system type, the content and pages that you access on
the Service, the number of clicks, the amount of time spent on
pages, the dates and times that you visit the Service, and other
similar information. Depending on the law of your country of
residence, your IP address may legally be considered personally
identifiable information.
Security- How do we secure data handling for personal and
sensitive user data?
The security of your personally identifiable information is very
important to us. When we collect your personally identifiable
information online, we use reasonable efforts to protect it from
unauthorized access. However, due to the inherently open nature of
the Internet, we cannot guarantee that your personally
identifiable information will be completely free from unauthorized
access by third parties such as hackers and your use of our
Service demonstrates your assumption of this risk. We have put in
place reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures
to safeguard the information we collect. Only those employees who
need access to your information in order to perform their duties
are authorized to have access to your personally identifiable
information. For more information on protecting your privacy,
please visit www.ftc.gov/privacy.
Your Disclosures In Blogs And Other Social Media
You should be aware that personally identifiable information which
you voluntarily include and transmit online on the Service or in a
publicly accessible blog, chat room, social media platform or
otherwise online, or that you share in an open forum such as an
in-person panel or survey, may be viewed and used by others
without any restrictions. We are unable to control such uses of
your personally identifiable information, and by using the Service
or any other online services you assume the risk that the
personally identifiable information provided by you may be viewed
and used by third parties for any number of purposes. If you login
to the Websites and/or Service through your Facebook account,
connect to a third party service such as Facebook, Google or
Twitter through an icon or link on the Service or otherwise link
your Hushbunny.com account with a third party service, we may
share the contents of your post and associated information (such
as your user name, the fact that your connection originated from
the Service, and other relevant usage and diagnostic information)
with such third party. With your one-time consent, we may also
send information about the content you watch and your activities
on the Service to such third parties. Once such information is
shared, the use of your information will be subject to that
service's privacy policy and this Privacy Policy will not apply.
Protection for Children
We generally do not collect personally identifiable information
from children under the age of 13. If at any time in the future we
plan to collect personally identifiable information from children
under 13, such collection and use, to the extent applicable,
shall, when required, be done in compliance with the Children’s
Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and appropriate consent
from the child’s parent or guardian will be sought where required
by COPPA. When we become aware that personally identifiable
information from a child under 13 has been collected without such
a child's parent or guardian’s consent, we will use all reasonable
efforts to delete such information from our database. However when
a parent creates their profile and then add kids and start
building their memory lanes, we consider that as consent provided
by parents, and that entire workflow of collecting and using
children information would be considered ‘By consent’ of parents
and/or guardians.
However the very nature of our products is building memory lanes
of kids, our users remain parents or guardians of the kids, so
even though we have kids moments, we are expecting kids’ parents
or guardians to add those moments and build their memory lanes and
conduct activity on Hushbunny.com as per our privacy policy and
terms of service. If any personal identifiable information is for
children under the age of 13, it is the parents or guardians who
are putting that information and Hushbunny.com would not be
considered even remotely liable under COPPA or other children’s
privacy protection laws as users of Hushbunny.com are people above
the age of 13 (parents or guardians of children above the age of
13), and parents/guardians would protect and indemnify parents of
any and all liabilities, and liabilities of Hushbunny (products
and promoters/heirs/families/ and every staff etc.) would be $0.
Hushbunny is not liable for any hacking of data, data thefts, loss
or stealing of any data to 3rd parties, hackers. We strive with
our Tech partners that this doesn’t happen, but we are not liable
for any loss or damages that happen due to data you posted on
Hushbunny, all users of Hushbunny will indemnify Hushbunny, and we
will have $0 liability for any of these.

Services from within our Service. We are not responsible for the

Changes to this Privacy Policy
We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add,

if at any time in the future we plan to use personally
identifiable information in a way that materially differs from
this Privacy Policy, including sharing such information with more
third parties, we will post such changes here even if we don’t
broadcast to all users over email. Your continued use of the
Service and our services following the posting of any changes to
