This Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") explains the collection, use, and disclosure of “personal information" by VISup srl ("VISup"), an Italian company with its principal office in Milan, Italy, through the website that VISup operates at http://www.closr.it (“ClosR").
Any "personal information" that VISup collects via ClosR is handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy (http://www.closr.it/page/privacy).
As used in this policy, "personal information" means information that would allow a party to identify you such as, for example, your username or email address.
By accessing ClosR, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Our Principles
VISup is committed to handling responsibly the information and data we collect about you through ClosR, whether personal information or non personal browsing and site usage data. We have designed our Privacy Policy and our Data Usage Policy consistent with the following principles (the "Principles"):
1. Privacy policies and data collection and use policies should be human readable, comprehensive, and easy to locate;
2. Only the minimum amount of information reasonably necessary to provide you with services should be collected and maintained, and only for so long as reasonably needed;
3. Information you provide through ClosR should not be used for marketing or advertising purposes, nor should it be provided voluntarily (without your permission) to anyone else unless required; and
4. Unless restricted or prohibited by law, you should be notified when VISup is required to provide a third party with your personal information.
Personal Information VISup collects
We collect personal information at several places on ClosR, including without limitation:
* in connection with the uploading of an image;
* when you provide us with your personal information such as by sending an email to us or signing up to receive a newsletter or our events listing;
What VISup does with the Personal Information
Images. We use the personal information you provide to us as part of your activity on ClosR (for instance: when you upload an image) in order to credit you as the author of the uploaded material. We keep safe your data (email and username) just to let you use the service; you can anytime ask us to remove your data from ClosR, simply deleteing your account.
Emails and Newsletters. We use the personal information you provide to us when you send us emails or sign up to receive our newsletter or events listing in order to respond to your request — for example, to reply to your email or to send you communications about news and events related to VISup.
Any other personal information that we may collect which is not described specifically in this Privacy Policy will only be collected and used in accordance with the Principles.
Disclosures of Personal Information
In general, it is not VISup' practice to disclose personal information to third parties. We may share personal information in two instances:
* First, VISup may share personal information with our contractors and service providers in order to maintain, enhance, or add to the functionality of ClosR.
* Second, we may disclose your personal information to third parties in a good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) take action regarding suspected illegal activities; (b) enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy; (c) comply with legal process, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order; or (d) protect our rights, reputation, and property, or that of our users, affiliates, or the public.
If VISup is required to provide a third party with your personal information (whether by subpoena or otherwise), then VISup will use reasonable means to notify you promptly of that event, unless prohibited by law or VISup is otherwise advised not to notify you on the advice of legal counsel.
Security of Personal Information Collected via ClosR.
VISup has implemented reasonable measures to protect against unauthorized access to and unlawful interception or processing of personal information that VISup stores and controls. However, no website can fully eliminate security risks. Third parties may circumvent our security measures to unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We will post a reasonably prominent notice to ClosR if any such security breach occurs.
Our Data Usage Policy covers how we maintain and use information about you that is collected by ClosR and server logs.
Non Personal Information We Collect. When you use ClosR, our servers (which may be hosted by a third party service provider) may collect information indirectly and automatically (through, for example, the use of your "IP address") about your activities while visiting ClosR and information about the browser you are using.
No Linking. We do not intentionally link browsing information. We use this information for internal purposes only, such as to help understand how ClosR is being used, to improve ClosR and the features we provide, and for systems administration purposes. VISup may use a third party analytics provider to help us collect and analyze non personal information through operation of ClosR for those same purposes.
No Selling or Sharing. Except in the unique situations identified in this Privacy Policy, VISup does not sell or otherwise voluntarily provide the non personal information we collect about you or your website usage to third parties.
Any other non-personal information that we collect which is not described specifically in this Privacy Policy will only be collected and used in accordance with the Principles.
Reorganization or Spin-Offs
VISup may transfer some or all of your personal and/or non personal information to a third party as a result of a reorganization, spin-off or similar transaction. Upon such transfer, the acquirer's privacy policy will apply. In such event, VISup will use reasonable efforts to notify you and to ensure that at the time of the transaction the acquirer's privacy policy complies with the Principles.
Children
Consistent with the local and international laws, we will never knowingly request personal information from anyone under the legal age defined by local laws without requiring parental consent. Any person who provides their personal information to VISup through ClosR represents that they are older than the required legal age to use the service.
Third-Party Sites
ClosR may include links to other websites. You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party sites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other websites.
Changes and Updates to this Privacy Policy
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When we do, we will also revise the Last Update Date below. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed about how we are protecting the personal information we collect. Your continued use of ClosR constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy and any updates.
