Privacy Policy

DIRECT AMP Website and SaaS applications Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us. At DIRECT AMP.

At our websites we don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.

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 ongoing operation of one of our services.

DIRECT AMP operates several websites and SaaS applications. It is DIRECT AMP’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites and software applications.

Website Visitors

DIRECT AMP 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. DIRECT AMP’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how DIRECT AMP’s visitors use its website. From time to time, DIRECT AMP may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

DIRECT AMP also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on DIRECT AMP blogs. DIRECT AMP 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 and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information (Non SaaS applications data)

Certain visitors to DIRECT AMP’s websites choose to interact with DIRECT AMP in ways that require DIRECT AMP to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that DIRECT AMP gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a blog at DIRECT AMP to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with DIRECT AMP – by purchasing access to the Akismet comment spam prevention service, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, DIRECT AMP collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with DIRECT AMP. DIRECT AMP 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

DIRECT AMP may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites and SaaS applications users. For instance, DIRECT AMP may monitor the most popular blogs on the DIRECT AMP site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. DIRECT AMP may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, DIRECT AMP does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information (Non SaaS applications data)

DIRECT AMP 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 DIRECT AMP’s behalf or to provide services available at DIRECT AMP’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 DIRECT AMP’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. DIRECT AMP 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, DIRECT AMP discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when DIRECT AMP believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of DIRECT AMP, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an DIRECT AMP website and have supplied your email address, DIRECT AMP 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 DIRECT AMP 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. DIRECT AMP takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

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. DIRECT AMP uses cookies to help DIRECT AMP identify and track visitors, their usage of DIRECT AMP website, and their website access preferences. DIRECT AMP visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using DIRECT AMP’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of DIRECT AMP’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

SaaS applications “Customer Data”

Any data and files uploaded to our servers that is the property of our customers is kept completely confidential. This data is not shared with any internal entities, including employees, business partners and shareholders.

Technically your data is shared with our cloud storage providers only to the extent that your data resides on their servers. We make use of Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services. They are required to protect the data we maintain on their servers and keep it confidential as far as the law will permit.

Business Transfers

If DIRECT AMP, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that DIRECT AMP 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 DIRECT AMP 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 DIRECT AMP and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Comments

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

Although most changes are likely to be minor, DIRECT AMP may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in DIRECT AMP’s sole discretion. DIRECT AMP encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a DIRECT AMP account, you should also check your blog’s dashboard for alerts to these changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
