RedFS Privacy Policy

The following is our privacy policy for all of our online services. This deals heavily with our management of your personal data such as your name, address, e-mail address and phone number.

Summary

Our basic privacy policy guidelines are:
  1. We collect data required for you to use our services.
  2. We collect data to evaluate ourselves so we can improve our services.
  3. We share data with other entities only as necessary.
  4. We take reasonable measures to protect all information we collect from theft and abuse.
We further detail our privacy policy below.

What's Collected

We collect a variety of information from users. We break this information into 4 separate categories: information directly provided to us by users, browser cookies, server logs and link tracking.

User Provided Information

As the user, you provide us with a variety of information directly. Our services rely on you providing us with login information, contact information and information required to access various gateway services we interface with. This information is necessary for us to allow you to log into our services and for us to access gateway services that provide you with data.

Additionally, if you buy certain products from us, you may have to supply us with the appropriate billing information.

Cookies

Cookies are small files of identifying data that are stored on your computer. We use them to provide you with secure access to our services and for other purposes such as tracking your usage of our products. We sometimes will access cookies in a manner similar to Web Beacons, thereby allowing you to use RedFS enabled sites and applications without logging in again.

Logs

Every time you access our web site, our servers log your IP address, time, what page was loaded and other miscellaneous information. We collect this information for debugging, marketing and product development purposes.

Link Tracking

We may track any clicks you make on links inside of our products and services, even if those links refer you to outside web sites.

Why we collect data

There are several reasons why we collect and store personal information.
  1. Our Services: Many of our services require certain data to work, for instance, connecting to another online service requires login information.
  2. Product Development and Improvement: For example, determining what services are popular and improving products in the appropriate areas.
  3. Improving our infrastructure and protection against certain security threats.
  4. Tailoring ads and services: We may use your personal information to show you relevant ads and personalized services.
  5. Billing: Certain personal information is required to bill you.

Information Sharing

We share your personal information with third parties under the following circumstances.
  1. Using associated services: We connect you to data stored on other services and must provide these services with certain information in order to connect to them.
  2. Merger or Acquisition: Should the company merge with or be acquired by another entity, your personal information would be transferred to the resulting organization.
  3. Aggregated Data: We may make aggregated data available to third parties or the public at large. For example, we may provide statistics on the number of users who use a specific service or the number of users we have in certain demographic groups.
  4. Legal Requirements: We may be legally obligated to release your personal information in certain civil or criminal actions.
  5. Security and Safety Concerns: Preventing fraud, violations of our terms of use or other safety and security issues.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information. Some of your personal information is encrypted and other physical and virtual measures are used to safeguard your data. We should note that because our service connects to other data stores, we have little control of what third parties do with information you provided to them.
