INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE

When you interact with our Site, Software, and/or Services, we collect Information that could be used to identify you, such as first and last name, email address, physical street address, telephone number, or any other identifier by which you may be contacted online or offline (“Personal Data”). Some of the information we collect is stored in a manner that cannot be linked back to you (“Non-Personal Data”). We collect this information (a) directly from you when you provide it to us; (b) automatically as you navigate through the Site; and (c) from third parties.

Information you provide to us

When you use our Site, Software, and/or Services, you voluntarily give us certain Personal Data, including:

• Information you provide in filling in forms or creating an account on the Site, including your username, email address, and contact and language preferences. If you log into Clean Drive with a social networking credential, such as with your Google account, we will ask permission to access basic information from that account, such as your name and email address. You can stop sharing that information with us at any time by removing Clean Drive’s access to that account.
• Access to your Google Drive account. This allows us to scan the files and folders in your Google Drive account and reach out to you via email when the scanning is complete.
• Details of transactions you carry out through the Site, including your basic payment information, if you are a paying customer. We do not store your credit card number and instead use Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”) or the required merchant for app stores such as Google Play, Microsoft’s App Store, or Apple’s App Store for credit card processing. To finalize and pay for your order, you provide your credit card number directly to Stripe or the other required merchant. The privacy policy of Stripe or the applicable merchant will apply to the information that you provide when finalizing the payment on their website.
• Records and copies of your correspondence, including email addresses, if you contact us.
• User Content. This consists of all text, documents, or other content or information you make available to the Site, Software or Services, such as information you upload, enter, make available for programmatic retrieval by the Software, or otherwise transmit in connection with your use of the Site, Services and/or Software.

How secure is my Information?

Clean Drive is committed to protecting the security of your Information and takes reasonable precautions to protect it. However, internet data transmissions, whether wired or wireless, cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and as a result, we cannot ensure the security of Information you transmit to us, including Personal Data and User Content; accordingly, you acknowledge that you do so at your own risk.

Once we receive your data, we protect it on our servers using a combination of technical, physical, and logical security safeguards. The security of the data stored locally in any of our Software installed on your computing device requires that you make use of the security features of your device. We recommend that you take the appropriate steps to secure all computing devices that you use in connection with our Site, Software, and Services.

If Clean Drive learns of a security system breach, we may attempt to notify you and provide information on protective steps, if available, through the email address that you have provided to us or by posting a notice on the Site. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive such notices in writing, which Clean Drive will provide.

You can remove your User Content and Personal Data from Clean Drive at any time by contacting us and requesting that your data is removed. Please note that, for security reasons, subscribers of our paid services will first be instructed to cancel their subscriptions before they can delete their Clean Drive account.

In response to a request to delete your information, we will delete all information other than your email address and email preferences, IP address, last login date, and some high level information about your use of the Services (such as the total numbers of files scanned and deleted) (collectively, “Retained Information”).

Will this Privacy Policy ever change?

As Clean Drive evolves, we may need to update this Policy to keep pace with changes in our Site, Software, and Services, our business, and laws applicable to us and you. We will, however, always maintain our commitment to respect your privacy.

We will notify you of any material changes to how we treat your personal information by email (to your most recently provided email address) or through a notice in an easy-to-find area of the Site. The date the Privacy Policy was last revised is identified on the top of this page. You are responsible for ensuring we have a current active and deliverable email address for you, and for periodically visiting the Site and this policy to stay informed of any changes.
