SPAREMIN PRIVACY POLICY FOR HEADLINER SOFTWARE
Last Updated August 22, 2018

 

We at Sparemin, Inc. (“Sparemin,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have created this privacy policy (this “Privacy Policy”) because we know that as an end user of our products and services, you (“you,”“your” or “end user”) care about how your information is used and shared.  This Privacy Policy relates to the information collection and use practices of Sparemin in connection with our video software-as-a-service currently called “Headliner” (“Software”).  The Software is made available through the website located at headliner.app (including any subdomains and successor websites) (“Site”).  The Software and Site are collectively referred to herein as the “Service”.   

 

The Information We Collect and/or Receive

In the course of operating the Service, Sparemin will collect (and/or receive) the following types of information. You authorize us to collect and/or receive such information.

 

1.            Personal Information

While you can browse through certain publicly-available information in the Service without registering for an account, in order to use all of the features and functionality of the Software, you will be required to create an account with us (“Account”).  You will be asked to provide certain registration details or other information, to enable you to create an end user Account and to help us provide the Service to you, including personal information about yourself, such as your name, e-mail address and certain information that will assist us in authenticating your identity when you log-into the Service in the future.  You may also be required provide identifiable information in order to access certain features of the Service (e.g., support)

 

Please be advised that if you contact us, you will need to provide your name and e-mail address to enable us to respond to any requests or questions.  All information that personally identifies you is collectively called “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy. We do not collect any Personal Information from you of the Service unless you provide to us voluntarily.

2.            Software Use Information

In connection with your use of the Software, the Service will collect data on what video, audio, images, and text are used within the video.  Sparemin may also store, process, and collect information on how the Software is used including mouse movement, clicks, and keyboard entry.

3.            Geolocation Information

Certain features and functionalities of the Service may only be used based on your location.  In order to provide these features and functionalities while you are using a mobile device, we may, with your consent, automatically collect geolocation information from your mobile device or wireless carrier and/or certain third-party service providers.  Such information is collectively called the “Geolocation Information.”  You may decline to allow us to collect such Geolocation Information, in which case Sparemin will not be able to provide certain features or functionalities to you.

4.         Other Information.

In addition to the Personal Information, we may collect or receive additional information (collectively, the “Other Information”).  Such Other Information may include:

            a.         From Your Activity.  In an ongoing effort to improve the Service, we may automatically collect certain information when end users access and use the Service.  Such information includes, without limitation, IP addresses, browser type and language, referring and exit pages and URLs, date and time, amount of time spent on particular pages, what sections of the Service end users visit, log files, and similar information and data.

            b.         From Cookies.  We collect information using “cookie” technology.  Cookies are small packets of data that a Service stores on your computer’s hard drive so that your computer will “remember” information about your visit.  We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to help us collect statistics in the aggregate about end user behavior, to help you access the Service and to enhance your experience using it.  If you do not want us to place a cookie on your hard drive, you may be able to turn that feature off on your computer.  Please consult your Internet browser’s documentation for information on how to do this and how to delete persistent cookies.  However, if you decide not to accept cookies from us, the Service may not function properly.

 

            c.         From You.  You may voluntarily provide us additional information about yourself that does not identify you personally, such as your gender, country, product and service preferences, and other information (including any content you access or upload to the Service) .

 

            d.        From Third-Party Services.  By submitting your certain information that will assist us in authenticating your identity when you log-into the Service, you authorize us to use that information to communicate with and receive information from the third-party platform to which such information relates (including, without limitation, a list of your followers or connections, your profile information, or information regarding your activity on such third-party platform). Third-party social media buttons displayed within the Service may record your IP address, browser type and language, access time and referring website addresses.  When you are logged in to those social media websites, they also may link this collected information with your profile information on that website. We do not control these third party tracking technologies.

If you connect to the Service using credentials from a third-party social media application such as Facebook, Instagram or Twitter (e.g., “Login with Facebook,” or “Sign In with Twitter”) (each, a “Social Media Site”), you authorize us to collect your authentication information, such as your username and encrypted access credentials. We may also collect other information made available on or through your Social Media Site account, including your name, profile picture, country, hometown, email address, date of birth, gender, and networks. The Service will not store end user names or passwords from any Social Media Site or use any “friend” or “follower” data from any Social Media Site.

Do Not Track

We do not track our customers over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore we do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. However, some third party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you.

How We Use and Share the Information  

You authorize us to use the Personal Information and the Other Information (collectively, the “Information”) to provide and improve our Service, products, and services; to process transactions you request; to contact you to discuss the support, renewal of our products and services (including by our service providers on our behalf).  Unless authorized and accepted by you, we will not inform you about our products and services and those of our promotional partners and we will not bring you customized content (such as newsletters) based on your activity on the Service.  We will contact you via email for service related notices though.
