If no specific restrictions are displayed, Users may make copies of select portions of the Content, provided that the copies are made only for User’s personal use and that User maintains any notices contained in the Content, such as all copyright notices, trademark legends, or other proprietary rights notices. Except as provided in the preceding sentence or as permitted by the fair use privilege under the U.S. copyright laws (see, e.g., 17 U.S.C.A.

You represent and warrant that: (i) you own or have sufficient rights to submit the User Content and grant the license above; (ii) the User Content does not infringe any copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any third party; and (iii) the User Content is not unlawful, defamatory, or misleading.

1. Collection of personal information

We may collect personal information about you when you interact with us via the Services such as via our contact form on our website, www.shapearchitect.com. Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable, such as your name, address, email address, or phone number.

The Company may also collect information about you through the use of cookies, web beacons and other technologies to enhance your online experience and to learn about how you use our website and Services. A “cookie” is a small file containing a string of characters that uniquely identifies your browser.

Third parties may also use automatic collection technologies to collect information about you or your device when you interact with the Services. These include advertisers, ad networks, ad servers, analytic companies, your device manufacturer and your internet or mobile service provider. We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, how it is used, and applicable legal, accounting, or compliance requirements.

Any personal information we receive is submitted voluntarily. We do not seek to collect any “sensitive personal information” as defined under any current privacy laws that might apply to the Company.

Children’s and Minors’ Data

Our Services are not intended for, and we do not knowingly seek to collect or collect any personal data from, children or minors under the age of 18. If we learn we have collected or received personal data from someone under 18 years old, we will delete that information.

3. Policy on sharing your information

The Company will not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to others. The Company may share your personal information with others working on our behalf for a business purpose such as contractors, vendors, IT, hosting, marketing, and website support providers, analytics providers, communications providers, and professional advisors as needed. In any such cases, however, we require that those persons or entities, via contract or otherwise, adhere to privacy standards and policies at least as restrictive as those the Company has in place and keep your personal information confidential.

Circumstances may arise, whether for strategic or other business reasons, in which the Company decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize its business. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or, conversely, the receipt of such personal information from sellers. It is the Company’s established practice to seek appropriate protection for all personal information in advance of any such transaction.

We may have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation, or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to: (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or legitimate governmental request, (b) detect, prevent, or otherwise address suspected fraud, security, or technical issues, (c) enforce any applicable terms and conditions, including investigation of potential violations thereof, or (d) protect against imminent harm to the rights, property, or safety of the Company, its users or the general public as required or permitted by law.

Any personal data you choose to provide to or that is collected by such third parties is not in any way covered by this policy. We recommend that you read over any third-party website’s privacy policy before providing any personal information. A link to another website from www.shapearchitect.com does not constitute an endorsement or representation about the value, quality or usefulness of anything found on that third-party website.
