Figure 53, LLC Unified Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 13, 2018

This Privacy Policy relates to all software products and services (the “Service(s)”) of Figure 53, LLC (the “Company” or “we”, “us”, or similar pronouns).

GENERAL NON-DISCLOSURE POLICY: WE DO NOT DISCLOSE OR SHARE YOUR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION TO ANY THIRD PARTY (EXCEPT SOLELY TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES TO YOU), WITHOUT YOUR OPT IN FOR SUCH DISCLOSURE. Please see the section entitled “HOW DO WE DISCLOSE AND USE YOUR INFORMATION?” below for complete details.

GENERAL NON-USE POLICY: WE DO NOT USE YOUR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION EXCEPT SOLELY TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES TO YOU WITHOUT YOUR OPT IN FOR SUCH OTHER USES. Please see the section entitled “HOW DO WE DISCLOSE AND USE YOUR INFORMATION?” below for complete details.

This privacy policy explains the Company’s data collection, use and disclosure practices, including the collection, use and disclosure of information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate an individual person (“Personally Identifiable Information”). Personally Identifiable Information does not include, however, any information that you post or make available publicly, unless a specific applicable law protects such information.

Unless otherwise stated below, this Privacy Policy applies to all websites and applications we may provide, including applications that run natively on a computer or a mobile device. If an application also has its own Privacy Policy, to the extent that there are any conflicts, that application specific Privacy Policy will supersede any provisions of this Privacy Policy.

General: Privacy Policy Effectiveness; Changes to Policy

This Privacy Policy is a part of the Terms of Service (“TOS”), which are incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms herein not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in the TOS. This Privacy Policy is updated as of the date set forth above. We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy. If we update this Privacy Policy, we will use reasonable electronic efforts to advise You of the change, which may include posting a notice of the change on the website or application, in or near a login area, or we may send You an electronic notification of the change. If we electronically notify You by an electronic communication, we will provide these electronic messages to your last known or provided electronic communication address (which may be for example, a text message address, email address, Twitter user name, Facebook address or other electronic address). You are responsible to review communications we send to those addresses, to authorize communications from us and to keep those addresses up to date. Use of the website or application after our notice of a change in the Privacy Policy is acceptance of the terms and changes in the updated Privacy Policy, which shall, unless expressly prohibited by applicable law (or unless expressly stated in such changed Privacy Policy), be effective from the inception of your use of the website or application.

What data do we collect?

Automated data collection

Our website and applications use standard web and software technologies to collect certain non-identifying information about your computer or device – which may include such information as your browser and computer/device type, your internet protocol address, the type of device you are using, and other information that your device sends to our website or application automatically. Our website and applications may also automatically set “cookies” — small files that contain information that allow the website or application to track certain information such as where you were referred from, which pages you have clicked on, and other analytical information about your use of the website or application. Collectively this information is referred to as “Automated Data.” We do not link or associate Automated Data we collect with your Personally Identifiable Information. We may use and disclose Automated Data in any manner we choose without restriction. You have some ability, by using browser plugins, ad blockers, or other third party tools, to block or prevent some collection of Automated Data, however, our website or applications may not function correctly if you do so. We make no guarantees of any kind that our website or applications will function correctly in any particular environment or with any plugins or other tools.

Manual data collection

When using our Services such as by ordering or registering, you may be asked to enter Personally Identifiable Information such as your email addresses, phone numbers, mobile device number, text message and/or social media contact information, physical mailing address, and other similar billing and communication information (“Contact Information”).

Third party data collection

We may also obtain information from third parties and we may combine that with Automated Data and/or Contact Information. For example, we may have access to certain information from a third-party social media service if you create or log into your online account through that service or otherwise provide us with access to information from that service. We will only access third party information in this manner consistent with the application program interface (API) provided by the third party and consistent with the settings you have used in allowing such use.

How do we disclose and use your information?

We may process, use and disclose the information we collect from or about you in the following ways:

  • To process orders you make for our products or Services;
  • To work with our service providers such as web hosting companies, internet service providers, data centers, programmers and other service providers we use to be able to make the website and applications available to you;
  • To communicate with you about our products or Services or the products and services of third parties (however, please see below as to your rights to limit some of these communications);
  • With your opt-in, to provide your Contact Information to third parties who may have products or services that we recommend or state are compatible with our products or Services. You have the right to limit or terminate this use of your Contact Information;
  • To defend or bring any claim from/against you arising from our interactions;
  • To meet a legal requirement (see below under “Compelled Disclosure”);
  • To provide such information to our successor in a sale of our business or other change of control (see below under “Sale of Business”);
  • To remove malware and viruses, and to remove content that violates our Acceptable Use Policy (see below under “Virus removal”);

Compelled Disclosure

We will comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, which may require that we disclose your information (including your Personally Identifiable Information) to government authorities, or to parties in court actions under subpoenas or court orders, or otherwise as we are advised we are required to do to comply with a legal obligation. We are a United States based company and subject to the laws of the United States, however, we may use servers and storage of data in locations in other parts of the world.

Sale of Business

We may disclose any of your information, including but not limited to your Contact Information and Personally Identifiable Information, to a corporate successor in interest if we sell our business, or engage in a merger, sale of stock, or our company’s ownership otherwise changes control and you consent to this transfer. We, or our successor, will provide you with notice of such a transaction, and the successor will be bound on the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Virus removal

We may, but are not responsible to, use a virus or malware scanner and scan data you have stored in any of our Services, and if our virus scanner detects malware, we reserve the right to remove it. Please note that a scan may mis-identify data as a virus, and so it is possible that portions of such data may not be available if our scanner takes this action. In addition, if we determine that you are storing, transmitting or otherwise enabling malware sites or software used in illegal hacking or attack efforts, or otherwise storing content that is harmful to computers or data, we reserve the right to suspend and/or terminate your account.

Right to limit some communications

Applicable laws, such as the CAN SPAM law, may give you rights to limit some non-relationship communications. We will comply with such laws. Be aware, however, that you cannot limit certain communications with us, such as communications regarding transactions and orders, notices regarding updates to our TOS or this Privacy Policy, or other communications regarding our business relationship with you.

Other access and use of data

Our mobile applications use the iOS-provided vendor identifier string which uniquely identifies a device only to us among our Apple App Store applications. (iOS no longer provides a globally identifiable UUID, and the App Store does not communicate any personally-identifiable transaction data to our applications.)

The Company’s QLab software licensing system creates a unique Machine ID which is used to associate a license seat activation with a specific computer. The Machine ID is stored in our online license account system and associated with a user account. Data from our Feedback Reporter (described below) submitted from our applications to our internal feedback system include these unique vendor identifier strings or Machine IDs only if the user opts to “Send Details” along with their feedback report.

The Company’s QLab software accesses the camera or microphone when a workspace uses the Camera or Microphone cue types, respectively. Starting in macOS 10.14 Mojave, macOS may require user-permission to access cameras and microphones. You may elect not to use the camera or microphone, however, the functions in QLab that depend on those features being enabled will not work. We do not use data from the camera or microphone for any purpose other than for QLab to function correctly, and no camera or microphone data is sent to us.

Our Feedback Reporter tool stores an email address in the Application Preferences that is used for auto-filling the address field on subsequent uses, however the user must manually input the address into the form the first time.

All of our applications store data on the physical device to permit that data to survive a reboot/restart, such as app preferences. QLab saves workspace data to a document on disk. Go Button saves its show data to an internal database, and any audio files imported into the app are stored inside the app bundle on disk.

A user can choose to share certain items, for example, to export a Go Button show document to iCloud Drive or Dropbox. We do not have access to a user’s personal accounts such as iCloud Drive or Dropbox account, however, the software does if such accounts are enabled on a device. For example, the iOS file sharing mechanism gives Go Button access to data from file providers like Dropbox or Google Drive that the user already has installed on the device, but the connection and permission to access each service is managed by iOS. We do not manage any of the connections to these providers directly or remotely.

The data you may store, how we protect your information, and limits on your data sharing rights

We will use reasonable commercial effort to keep your information secure in our systems, however, you acknowledge that no system is hacker proof and that despite our reasonable efforts, your information could be accessed by unauthorized persons. In this regard, we will use the efforts required by applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders that apply to the specific types of information we have. Notwithstanding the above, you agree that we will not be liable for any unauthorized access to or use of your data or information except solely to the extent we are expressly held to have violated applicable laws, rules, regulations or orders.

WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR LOSS OR MISUSE OF YOUR CREDENTIALS TO THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE, AND WE DO NOT MONITOR OR LOG SUCH ACCESS NOR WILL WE GIVE YOU NOTICE OF ANY COMPROMISE OF YOUR DATA. If we do detect such compromise, or you violate our Acceptable Use Policy, we may immediately suspend Services to you and/or terminate your account.

Third-Party Privacy Policies and Services

Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third-party products or services on our website or applications. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We have not reviewed or verified any data or privacy policies of such linked sites and take no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites, or their products or services.

Feedback Reporter

Our macOS and iOS applications have an integrated Feedback Reporter that we develop in-house. Users can choose to send us a message directly from our applications using a “Contact Support” option. The user is also automatically prompted by the feedback tool to submit a crash report after the app detects a crash. This tool communicates directly with our servers. There is no third-party involved with these feedback reports. You should never send sensitive personal information via the Feedback Reporter.

A feedback report includes:

  • any message text entered by the user
  • user email address, if provided by the user
  • the app name and version of the app submitting the report
  • crash report (only when reporting a crash)

The user can optionally choose to include additional details with their report by selecting a “Send Details” option in the reporter. These details include:

  • System profile: OS version, machine/device model, memory, CPU, and a machine/device ID. On macOS, the profile also includes the computer serial number.
  • Installed license details, if any
  • App preferences
  • Console logs (optional, only included if the user selects an additional “Include Console Logs” option)
  • On macOS, the user can specify additional documents to be attached to the report which are then uploaded to our servers when the report is submitted.

In the Feedback Report data, all Personally Identifiable Information submitted is optional — license information, email address, and any documents included with the report. Unique IDs on macOS are generated by our licensing system. The unique ID from iOS only identifies the app among the Company’s applications installed on that device.

We may use other data analytics companies in combination with or as a replacement of Feedback Reporter. All such data collected by Google and if applicable such other tools is Automated Data hereunder.

Flurry

In the past, we have used a third-party analytics tool in our mobile applications called Flurry Analytics. We no longer use Flurry Analytics in QLab Remote as of version 5.0.0 and in Go Button as of version 3.3.0.

For earlier versions of our mobile software, the Flurry privacy policy is located here: legal.yahoo.com/us/en/yahoo/privacy/index.html, and the terms of service are located here: developer.yahoo.com/flurry/legal-privacy/terms-service. You may be able to opt out of some data collection by Flurry Analytics here: developer.yahoo.com/flurry/end-user-opt-out. As of the date of this Privacy Policy, Flurry is a product service of Flurry, Inc., a subsidiary of Verizon Media.

Flurry automatically collects usage metrics (like number of sessions per hour) and technical details about a user (like device models and operating system versions). We have used this data, for example, to plan updates relative to the adoption of a new release of iOS or the popularity of specific device models, etc.

We also have used Flurry to log certain app events to help us monitor usage of specific features within the mobile applications. We did not include any personally identifiable data in the event logging.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

Our website and application are for use of adults at least 13 years old. We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.

Rights Under Laws

You may have additional rights under applicable state law to access certain information; for example California residents may have rights under California Code Section 1798.83. We will comply with these laws to the extent applicable to us.

Communications Decency Act Notice

We hereby notify You that parental control protections (such as computer hardware, software, or filtering services) are commercially available that may assist You in limiting access to material that is not suitable to minors. You can discover some of the providers of such parental control technology by searching for “parental control software” using a major search engine, or by visiting consumer.ftc.gov/articles/protecting-your-childs-privacy-online.

Acceptable Use Policy

ACCEPTABLE USE OF SERVICES. You agree as follows in respect of the acceptable and unacceptable uses of the Services. You will not and agree not to:

  1. Use or attempt to use the Services for any illegal, abusive or unethical activities as determined by us in our sole discretion, which include by example and not limitation, bullying or harassing third parties, illegal stalking, transmission of or storage of pornographic material, invasion of privacy, defamation, infringement of another person’s copyright, trade secret, patent, trademark or other intellectual property rights, hacking or cracking (gaining unauthorized use of a computer), distributing computer viruses or other malware, gambling, harassment of another or distribution of other harmful materials, code, programs or scripts, disclosing “insider trading” information, national secrets, or other information prohibited or restricted from disclosure.

Malicious or threatening e-mail is also prohibited. Normally we will assume that you are in compliance with this provision, however, if an upstream provider blacklists our IP range or mail server as a result of activities we trace to you, we will presume that you are in violation of this provision.

  4. Impersonate another person, falsify the source of TCP/IP packets, spoof any portion of an email or TCP/IP header, or misrepresent authorization to act on behalf of others or us. All messages and packets transmitted via the Service should correctly identify the sender and source; you may not alter the attribution of origin in electronic mail messages or posting.
  5. Undermine the security or integrity of computing systems or networks or gain unauthorized access or control over our computers or any other person’s computers.
  6. Permit another person to use your resources or the Services to conduct any of the matters you are prohibited from doing.

  8. Take any action that would cause us to violate any terms of an upstream service provider’s acceptable use policy.
  9. Engage in any activity disruptive or abusive towards our other customers or to Services operations, including and not limited to:
    1. Distribute or post any virus, worm, Trojan horse, or computer code intended to disrupt Services, destroy data, destroy or damage equipment or disrupt Services operations;

    5. Subvert, or assist others in subverting, the security or integrity of any of Services, facilities or equipment; and/or
    6. Place false, fraudulent, materially incomplete or misleading information on the Services.

The above list of acceptable and unacceptable uses of the Services is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather illustrative of the range of unacceptable uses. We have the right in our sole discretion to determine whether any particular conduct is an acceptable use of the Services. In cases where we determine you engaged in conduct that you reasonably believed did not violate this policy in good faith, we will endeavor to provide you electronic notice of our determination that such conduct is not an acceptable use, and provided you cease such conduct not later than 24 hours after such notice, you will not be considered to be in breach of this Acceptable Use Policy.
