Privacy Policy

Updated at 2024-03-01

Woot It (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how your personal information is collected, used, and disclosed by Woot It.

This Privacy Policy applies to our website, and its associated subdomains (collectively, our “Service”) alongside our application, Woot It. By accessing or using our Service, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Definitions and key terms

To help explain things as clearly as possible in this Privacy Policy, every time any of these terms are referenced, are strictly defined as:

What Information Do We Collect?

We collect information from you when you visit our app, register on our site or fill out a form.

We also collect information from mobile devices for a better user experience, although these features are completely optional:

How Do We Use The Information We Collect?

Any of the information we collect from you may be used in one of the following ways:

Where and when is information collected from customers and end users?

Woot It will collect personal information that you submit to us.

How Do We Use Your Email Address?

By submitting your email address on this app, you agree to receive emails from us. You can cancel your participation in any of these email lists at any time by clicking on the opt-out link or other unsubscribe option that is included in the respective email. We only send emails to people who have authorized us to contact them, either directly, or through a third party. We do not send unsolicited commercial emails, because we hate spam as much as you do. Note: If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, please update your user settings within the application or contact us directly to request unsubscription.

How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

We keep your information only so long as we need it to provide Woot It to you and fulfill the purposes described in this policy. This is also the case for anyone that we share your information with and who carries out services on our behalf. When we no longer need to use your information and there is no need for us to keep it to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, we'll either remove it from our systems or depersonalize it so that we can't identify you.

How Do We Protect Your Information?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order or enter, submit, or access your personal information. These measures include:

While we take every precaution to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the absolute security of any information you transmit to Woot It. However, by implementing these comprehensive security measures, we strive to maintain the highest standards of data security and protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Could my information be transferred to other countries?

Woot It is incorporated in Costa Rica. Information collected via our website, through direct interactions with you, or from use of our help services may be transferred from time to time to our offices or personnel and may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have laws of general applicability regulating the use and transfer of such data. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, by using any of the above, you voluntarily consent to the trans-border transfer and hosting of such information.

Is the information collected through the Woot It Service secure?

We take precautions to protect the security of your information. We have physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to help safeguard, prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use your information. However, neither people nor security systems are foolproof, including encryption systems. In addition, people can commit intentional crimes, make mistakes or fail to follow policies. Therefore, while we use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If applicable law imposes any non-disclaimable duty to protect your personal information, you agree that intentional misconduct will be the standards used to measure our compliance with that duty.

Can I update or correct my information?

The rights you have to request updates or corrections to the information Woot It collects depend on your relationship with Woot It. Personnel may update or correct their information as detailed in our internal company employment policies.

Customers have the right to request the restriction of certain uses and disclosures of personally identifiable information as follows. You can contact us in order to (1) update or correct your personally identifiable information, (2) change your preferences with respect to communications and other information you receive from us, or (3) delete the personally identifiable information maintained about you on our systems (subject to the following paragraph), by cancelling your account. Such updates, corrections, changes and deletions will have no effect on other information that we maintain, or information that we have provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such update, correction, change or deletion. To protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you profile access or making corrections. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information at all times.

You should be aware that it is not technologically possible to remove each and every record of the information you have provided to us from our system. The need to back up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your information may exist in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate. Promptly after receiving your request, all personal information stored in databases we actively use, and other readily searchable media will be updated, corrected, changed or deleted, as appropriate, as soon as and to the extent reasonably and technically practicable.

If you are an end user and wish to update, delete, or receive any information we have about you, you may do so by contacting the organization of which you are a customer.

How do we use your Google user data?

Through the Google Drive API, we facilitate the seamless transfer of files from your Google Drive to our platform for sharing purposes within the Woot It application. While we do access and temporarily store the files you select, we prioritize the privacy and security of your data. It's crucial to note that other than the files you upload, we do not store any other personal data from your Google account.

Data Protection Disclosures:

We prioritize the protection of your data and adhere to stringent security measures. Our systems are designed to safeguard your information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. All data transmissions are encrypted using HTTPS protocols to ensure secure communication.

Data Retention and/or Deletion Disclosures:

We retain the files you upload to our platform for the purpose of sharing within the Woot It application. However, once the sharing process is complete, we securely retain a copy of the files to ensure they remain accessible to you and others with whom you've shared them. You have the option to delete files from within the application, which will result in their removal from our servers.

Data Sharing Disclosures:

Your Google Drive files are shared within the Woot It application as per your instructions. We do not share your data with any third parties outside the scope of the Woot It application. Additionally, we do not sell or rent your personal information to any third party for any purpose.

Data Use Disclosures:

We use the data you upload to our platform solely for the purpose of facilitating sharing within the Woot It application. We do not access or use your data for any other purpose.

We remain committed to maintaining transparency regarding our data practices and protecting your privacy throughout your interactions with our application.
