Cookies and Other Similar Technologies

Weesify and its partners use cookies or similar technologies to analyze trends, administer the website, track users’ movements around the website, and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

Cookies are pieces of text that may be provided to your computer through your web browser when you access a website. Your browser stores cookies in a manner associated with each website you visit. We use cookies to enable our servers to recognize your web browser and tell us how and when you visit our Site and use the Services through the web.

Weesify cookies also allow Weesify to track when you have clicked on a Weesify Link. Each click of a Weesify Link is tracked using a unique identiﬁer assigned to you in one or more cookies stored by your web browser and associated with Weesify. We may associate the unique identiﬁer in our cookies with the other information we automatically collect when you use the Services, as described above, including your IP address, Weesify Links you click, Weesify Links you create, and information with your Account if you have one.

Most browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways. If you disable cookies, you will not be able to use some features of the Services. We do not currently recognize do-not-track signals.

This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Weesify only and does not cover the use of cookies by any Third Party Services. Weesify does not control when or how third parties place cookies on your computer, such as when you visit a website through a Weesify Link.

Note Regarding Children

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have collected personal information of a child under 13 (or older as required by applicable law), we will take steps to delete such information from our ﬁles as soon as possible.

Use of Your Personal Information

We use your personal information for the following purposes:

To provide our services: We may use your personal information to create and manage your account, respond to your requests and inquiries, and deliver the feature and functionality of our services.
To personalize your experience: We may use your personal information and usage data to personalize the content and advertisements you see when you use our services.
To analyze and understand how our services are used: We may use your personal information and usage data to understand how our services are being used and to identify trends and opportunities for improvement.
To send you promotional materials and other communications: If you have opted-in to receive such communications, we may use your personal information to send you newsletters, updates, and other promotional materials about our services.

How We Use Information

We use the personal information we collect for a variety of administrative and business purposes to:

Operate our Site and provide the Services, process and complete any transactions, verify individual identity,
Respond to inquiries, questions and comments and provide customer and technical support, provide access to certain functionalities of our Services,
Personalize and improve the Services and develop new products and services,
Communicate with our current and prospective customers concerning our services, measure interest and engagement in our Site and Services,
Monitor and analyze usage and trends of the Site and Services,
Provide services to our customers to allow them to understand how you interact with our Services and to help detect, deter and prevent malicious, fraudulent or unlawful activity,
Comply with any legal obligations, and
Enforce our terms and as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.

Usage Across Devices

We may use the information we collect to make inferences that a unique individual has created or interacted with Weesify links on different devices so that we can detect, deter and prevent malicious, fraudulent or unlawful activity and analyze how users use our Services. For example, if you created a Weesify link on a computer connected to your residential WiFi network, and you soon thereafter clicked on a Weesify link on a mobile device connected to the same WiFi network, we may infer that a single individual created and clicked on the Weesify links because both events were associated with the same IP address in the same time period.

Other Legitimate Interests

We may also use personal information to pursue legitimate interests, such as direct marketing, research (including marketing research), network and information security, prevention of fraudulent, malicious and unlawful activities, or any other purpose disclosed to you at the time you provide personal information or allowed by law.

Information We Share

The Services are designed to help you share information with others. In addition, we provide Services to our Customers that use Weesify Link. As a result, the following categories of personal information generated through your use of the Services are shared publicly for the business purposes described below.

Weesify Links You Create

Much of your activity on and through the Services is public by default. For example, when you create a Weesify Link, the original URLs you have shortened and the corresponding Weesify Links are publicly available.

Account Information

Where permitted by law, if you register a Weesify Account with an email address on a domain owned by an organization, (for example, an employer or educational institution where you have an email account), we may share your email address and information about your Account, such as the number of links you have created, with that organization to explore the organization’s interest in creating or managing an enterprise account or for related purposes.

Information We Share With Customers

We may share the personal information we collect as described in this Privacy Policy with our customers. When you create a Weesify Link of one of our customer’s sites, the customer may be able to view the unshortened original URL, the date and time the Weesify Link was created, the location where it was created as derived from your IP address, and aggregated information about clicks and views of the Weesify Links, including the number of times the Weesify Link was shared, whether or not it was viewed, comparison of that Weesify Link’s performance to that of all Weesify Links pointing to the same content, whether others are sharing a Weesify Link to the same content, geographic regions where the content is being viewed, and identiﬁcation of social networks on which the Weesify Links appear. In addition, we may share Weesify Link Metrics with customers to help them detect, deter and prevent malicious, fraudulent or unlawful activity.

Information You Elect to Share

When creating a Weesify Link, you can share that Weesify Link through Third Party Services. Any information that you elect to distribute through Third Party Services, such as a social network post you create, may then become accessible to users of those services. You can also access other Third Party Services through the Services, for example by clicking on links in the Statistics page for a Weesify Link. We recommend that you review the terms of services and privacy policies of such Third Party Services that you access through the Services since Weesify does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices of these Third Party Services.

Information Shared with Service Providers

We may employ and contract with third parties to perform certain tasks on our behalf and under our direction (our “Service Providers”). We may need to share information about you with our Service Providers in order to fulfill certain business purposes, like providing our product with research and analytics on user behavior and providing advertising products and services to users, processing payments, and providing email marketing and support services. Our agreements with these Service Providers authorize them to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us. Transfers to subsequent third parties are covered by our agreements with our service providers.

Information Disclosed Pursuant to Business Transfers

We may transfer and/or provide information about our users in connection with an acquisition, sale of company assets, or other situation where user information would be transferred as one of our business assets. You will be notiﬁed via email and/or a prominent notice on our website.

In such a case, the acquirer of Weesify may continue to use your information as set forth in this policy or as otherwise allowed by law.

Information Disclosed for the Protection of Weesify and Others

Weesify may access, read, preserve, and disclose any information it collects when it has a good faith belief that doing so is reasonably necessary to (i) comply with a law, regulation, or compulsory legal request, including process from governmental law enforcement or national security agency, (ii) enforce the Privacy Policy or Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations hereof, (iii) detect, deter, prevent or otherwise address malicious, fraudulent or unlawful activity, (iv) respond to user support requests, or (v) protect the rights, property or safety of Weesify, its users and the public. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for protection from malicious, fraudulent, or unlawful activity.

Information We Share With Your Consent

We will share information about you when you direct or otherwise instruct us to do so, such as when you share Weesify Links or content with others through the Services, if you intentionally use or direct us or the Services to interact with third parties, or if we notify you that the information you provide will be shared in a particular manner and you provide such information (like sharing/posting it with a third-party Service).

International Transfers

Depending on your location, information about you may be transferred to the United States or other countries outside the EU or European Economic Area (EEA) or may be processed there. These data transfers are necessary to provide you with the services outlined in this policy.

To protect your personal data, we rely on the appropriate legal basis for each data transfer. In particular, we use contractual safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. Where applicable, we base data transfers also on adequate decisions issued by the European Commission.

Please feel free to contact us for further information about international data transfers.

Retention

We retain the personal information we receive as described in this Privacy Policy for as long as you use our Services or as necessary to fulﬁll the purpose(s) for which it was collected, provide our Services, resolve disputes, establish legal defenses, conduct audits, pursue legitimate business purposes, enforce our agreements, and comply with applicable legal obligations.

Information Security

Your Account information is protected by a password for your privacy and security. You can help prevent unauthorized access to your Account by selecting and protecting your password appropriately, making use of two-factor authentication, and limiting access to your computer and browser by signing off after you have ﬁnished accessing your Account.

Weesify endeavors to protect the information it collects about its users using reasonable security processes and controls, however, despite these efforts, no security measure is perfect or impenetrable and Weesify does not guarantee or warrant that such measures will prevent unauthorized access to the information about you that is stored by Weesify. In the event we experience a breach of security, we will promptly notify you if your personal information has been compromised, in accordance with applicable law. If you have any questions about the security of your personal information, you can contact us at support@weesify.com.

Choice and Access

You don’t need an Account to create Weesify Links, and you can use many of the features of the Services without registering, thereby limiting the type of information that is collected about you individually. If you have a Weesify Account, you may access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information by logging into your Account. Once logged in to your account, you will be able to view a history of the URLs you have shortened and the metrics pages for those URLs. You can request a complete copy of the personal information we store about your account by clicking the button to request a report in your Account Settings. For more information on how to request access to your information, please see our help page.

You can delete your Account at any time through your Account settings page. If you delete your Account, you will no longer be able to access or use the Services. If you have an Account but are unable to access it, you can contact us at support@weesify.com. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe. If you are a resident of the Switzerland, you have the right to ask that your personal data be corrected, updated, or erased. Additionally, you may have the right to access your personal data and receive a copy of your personal data undergoing processing. You may also have the right to object to, or request that we restrict, certain processing.

For all other requests to exercise any of your rights, you may contact us as indicated in the “Questions” section below. Once we receive your request, we will ask that you verify your identity such as by authenticating through your account. If you do not have a Weesify account, Weesify has no way of identifying you or verifying that you created or clicked on a Weesify link.

You may be entitled, in accordance with applicable law, to submit a request through an authorized agent. To designate an authorized agent to exercise your rights and choices on your behalf, please provide a written attestation, declaration, or permission that has either been physically signed or provided electronically per applicable law. In certain circumstances, we may be required by law to retain your personal information.

Please note that in the interest of ensuring that existing Weesify Links continue to function for all of our users, the Weesify Links that you have created and shared cannot be deleted or disabled (even if your Account is deleted), and any shortening and sharing activity that has already occurred on your Account also cannot be deleted. If you have concerns about any unauthorized use of your Account, you can delete your account within your Account settings.

Please see the Cookies section above for additional choices you may have.
