AUTOMATICALLY COLLECTED INFORMATION 

Information about your computer hardware and software may be automatically collected by Botkeeper.

USE OF COOKIES 

Botkeeper may use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your computer by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, a cookie helps Botkeeper recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Botkeeper website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Botkeeper features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Botkeeper services or websites you visit.

DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS

Some web browsers may transmit “do not track” signals to websites with which the web browser communicates. Botkeeper does not currently recognize or respond to “do not track” signals. However, Botkeeper may in the future elect to recognize or respond to “do not track” signals.

SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We secure your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We use the following methods for this purpose:

  • SSL Protocol

  • Incapsula

  • Two Factor Authentication

  • Database Encryption

When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

We strive to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or alteration of your personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations inherent to the Internet which are beyond our control; and (b) security, integrity, and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through Botkeeper cannot be guaranteed.
