The Polite Toolbox ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to respecting your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal data. We are not in the business of selling Information about you; we use the Information you share with us for the sole purpose of running and improving our services.

Any information that you provide to The Polite Toolbox is subject to our Privacy Policy, which governs our collection and use of your Information, the options available to you regarding our use of your Information, and how you can access and update your Information.

By using the The Polite Toolbox site and services, you agree to abide and be bound by this Privacy Policy, which may be modified or updated from time to time. You will always find the latest version of our Privacy Policy here.

What information is collected or used?

• Login credentials upon sign-up

  To sign up for The Polite Toolbox, you must provide us with your name and email address and create a username and password. We use this Information to ensure that only you will have access to your account.

• Additional profile information

  You can add additional Information on your profile besides your username and email address, including (but not limited to) your birthday, gender, the country where you live, as well as a picture of yourself. Once you have registered, you can visit your profile at any time to add or remove personal Information about yourself.

• Third party authentication

  When you add a service to The Polite Toolbox, we use a technology called OAuth to authorize The Polite Toolbox to access that account. OAuth is a secure protocol that gives us access to your data without actually giving us your password. You can revoke OAuth access either within The Polite Toolbox or within the third party service.

• Third party data

  For each of the services you authorize The Polite Toolbox to access, we create an index of data from that service. This allows us to aggregate and present the data in one place and provide search, filter, and organizational functionality for it. Data collected may include photographs, music, videos, links to websites, documents, location information, and social network activity. Social network data may include Information you have entered on that site, including your age, hobbies, comments, 'likes,' etc.

  We never link this Information to any personally identifiable information such as your email, name, or any other information that could be used to identify you. This data is used in aggregate to improve the quality of our site and to track usage trends.

• Tracking technologies and third party cookie

  Our service providers' use of cookies is not covered by our privacy policy. The Polite Toolbox uses third-party tracking services, which use cookies to track non-personally identifiable Information (including but not limited to your IP address) about the visitors to our site and services in the aggregate to capture usage and volume statistics. We, in turn, use these statistics to help us understand how our services are used. We have no access to or control over these third party cookies. This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by The Polite Toolbox only and does not cover the use of cookies by any third-party.

• User communications

  As part of providing you the Services, we may need to provide you with certain communications (such as service announcements and administrative messages) from time to time. These communications are considered part of the Services and your Polite Toolbox account, which you may not be able to opt-out from receiving.

  When you communicate with us electronically, we keep those communications in order to respond to them and improve the quality of our product and our support. We may, from time to time, ask for additional Information for security reasons or to provide specific services to you.

What is your information used for?

The reason we collect Information is to provide you with a reliable, safe, efficient, and personalized experience. The Polite Toolbox collects and uses, or has third party service providers acting on The Polite Toolbox's behalf collecting and using, personal data relating to you, as permitted or necessary to:

• deliver services for you,

We do not sell your personal data.

We do not disclose your private information except in the limited following situations:

• when we have your consent to do so, such as when you use a third party service to connect to your Polite Toolbox account,

• when we work with trusted third parties partners who carry out specific functions and services for us, we may share your Personal Information with them. However this is only done to the extent necessary for them to perform the duties and services we require of them, and only pursuant to obligations mirroring the protections of this privacy policy,

• when required to do so by a law regulation or legal request; to protect the safety of any person; to tackle fraud, security or technical issues; or to preserve The Polite Toolbox's rights or property.

Information security

We take all reasonable steps to safeguard the security of any information you input or send to us by using secure services and encryption technology, by implementing all necessary security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data. However, please understand that no online security measure can be 100% guaranteed.

Right of access and modification

According to the French data protection law dated 6th January 1978, you have a right to access and modify your personal data stored by The Polite Toolbox. Accordingly, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your Personal Information and either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes.

To access and modify your personal data, please send an email to [email protected] identifying yourself and the Information you would like us to access, correct, or remove. We may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning Information residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise required. In any case, where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort.

The data we are indexing from your third party services can be deleted at any time. To remove services you no longer want to see in your Polite Toolbox please go to your settings. We will delete the third party authentication data and the third party data completely from our servers as fast as is technically feasible - this could take approx 20 minutes. Records of your interaction with The Polite Toolbox may persist in our server and communication logs.

If we process your Information on servers or using service providers based in such territories, we will ensure that your Information is afforded the same level of protection as in the EEA. You should be aware that privacy laws in the United States may not be equivalent to the laws in your country, and by using the Platform, you consent to the transfer, storage, and processing of your Personal Information in the United States in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
