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.

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.

Your continued use of the Service and our services following the posting of any changes to this Privacy Policy means you accept such changes.
