Your privacy is important to us. Gadget Software, Inc. (“Gadget Software”,” “we,” “us,” “our”), is committed to processing your information in accordance with all applicable data protection laws and codes of conduct. We have implemented the practices set out in this Privacy Policy for (i) our website, https://www.gadgetsoftware.com and dependent pages (the "Site") and (ii) for your and your end-users’ access to our applications (“Services”), including accessing our applications using QR codes.
This Privacy Policy addresses our practices relating to those who visit our Site, who request information or sign up for email notifications on the Site, or who search or use the Services (collectively, “you,” “your,” “yours”). For purposes of this Privacy Policy, "Personal Information" means any information that, by itself or in combination with other information, identifies or can reasonably be used to identify an individual or household, such as name, email address, IP address, telephone number, address, billing information or date of birth. Personal Information does not include information that is anonymized or otherwise de-identified. The term “Processing” means any operation or set of operations which is performed on Personal Information, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, use, organization, storage, alteration or destruction, disclosure, or transfer.
Generally, we collect two types of information when you are using our Site - information you provide to us and information we collect by tracking and monitoring. You may browse the Site without directly providing any Personal Information (though we may automatically collect certain non-sensitive information such as IP Address and log information). However, we may ask that you provide information, including Personal Information, at various times and locations through the Site. For example, if you decide to request information through the Site or sign up for email notifications, you will be asked to provide general contact information such as your name and email address. When using forms on the Site to communicate with us, you may be asked to provide other Personal Information, such as your name, company name, mailing address, phone number, and email address. We may collect and store any Personal Information you input into the Site and will only use such information to answer your information requests or provide you email notifications that you have signed up for. When you use a QR code or URL to access the Services, we collect (i) the type of device used ( iPhone, Android, Desktop App, or Web App), (ii) the users email address only if they have chosen the option to create a private user name and password to log in (which is optional), (iii) the application(s), section(s), and topic(s) visited, and user geolocation data unless the user has opted out of that collection. Gadget Software applications may include Gadget Software customer-created forms (like warranty registration or parts orders) that collect user information provided voluntarily provided by the user, but that information is directly collected by the customer’s website, although Gadget Software may collect anonymous counts of the categories accessed.
We take commercially reasonable steps to protect your Personal Information when you transmit it from your computer to the Site and to protect such information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No Internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from the Site may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us or open from us via e-mail. While every effort and measure are taken to reduce the risk of data breaches, we have dedicated controls and procedures in place for such situations, along with the procedures that are required to make notifications to the relevant supervisory authority and data subjects (where applicable).
We may use the information collected and provided, individually or in an aggregate form, in order to:
We will retain Personal Information stored for as long as the information is needed for the purpose why it was collected or as required by law.
We do not sell your Personal Information to unrelated third-party companies for their independent use. However, we may share your Personal Information with:
We may share Personal Information if we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of Gadget Software or others. We may also share Personal Information that has been anonymized or aggregated with third parties for analytics or any purpose.
We collect the domain names and IP addresses of our visitors for statistical purposes, to measure use, to improve the content or responsiveness of the Site, or to customize the content or layout of the Site for individual visitors. We do not disclose this information to third parties. We may also aggregate information relating to our visitors’ traffic patterns from the data that we collect and retain concerning the IP addresses and domain names of our visitors, and we may divulge such aggregate information about our users with third parties such as our website service and support providers.
We strive to provide you with choices regarding the Personal Information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your Personal Information:
You should be aware that e-mail is not necessarily secure against all forms of interception. If your communication includes sensitive information about you or your company and you would prefer not to transmit this information in this fashion, please contact us by telephone or mail rather than e-mail.
