We generally cannot delete your Personal Information except by also deleting your user account.

For instance, if a person has a standing credit or debt on that person’s account, or if we believe a person has committed fraud or violated our Terms, we may seek to resolve the issue before deleting that person’s information. 

Access Rights 

Clipt will comply with individual’s requests regarding access, correction, and/or deletion of the personal data it stores in accordance with applicable law. 

Location Information 

We request permission for our Services’ collection of precise location from your device per the permission system used by your mobile operating system. If you initially permit the collection of this information, you can later disable it by changing the location settings on your mobile device. However, if you block the use of location information the Services may then be inaccessible and will not function properly. 

Contact Information 

We may also seek permission for our Services’ collection and syncing of contact information from your device per the permission system used by your mobile operating system. If you initially permit the collection of this information, iOS users can later disable it by changing the contacts settings on your mobile device. 

Cookies and Advertising and Promotional Communications 

You may opt out of receiving promotional messages from us by following the instructions in those messages. You can also opt-out by logging into the Services and adjusting your user preferences in your account profile by checking or unchecking the relevant boxes or by sending us an email stating your request to support@clipt.us. 

If you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional communications, such as those about your account, about Services you have requested, or our ongoing business relations. 

The following are further specific ways for you to opt out of specified advertising and promotional communications: 

• Tracking Technologies. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies or block the use of other tracking technologies, some parts of the Clipt Services may then be inaccessible or not function properly.

If you do not want us to use your Personal Information to promote our products or services or third parties’ products or services, you can opt-out by logging into the Clipt Services and adjusting your user preferences in your account profile by checking or unchecking the relevant boxes or by sending us an email stating your request to support@clipt.us

Your California privacy rights 

Under California law, California residents may opt-out of Clipt’s disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. As discussed above under “Your Choices”, you may choose to opt-out of the sharing of your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes at any time by emailing us at support@clipt.us. 

When you choose to opt-out, we are not prohibited from making disclosures made for non-marketing purposes. 

Data security 

When Users book services, the information they input is encrypted through SSL encryption. We do not store credit card information on our servers, and we use SSL encryption to protect your credit card information when it is transferred to our third-party payment processor. 

Although Users can submit credit card or other payment card information to pay for a service through our platform, Clipt does not receive this information itself. Payment card information is transmitted directly to a third-party payment card processor, Stripe, through an Internet connection secured by industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology. Stripe then communicates to Clipt whether your payment has cleared, but does not provide payment card information to Clipt. Stripe’s privacy policy is available at https://stripe.com/us/privacy. 

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access the Clipt Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet and mobile platforms generally is not completely secure. Please note that despite our efforts, no security measure is ever perfect or impenetrable, so we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures we provide. 

PRIVACY POLICY UPDATES 

If we change this Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on this page and update the Privacy Policy modification date above. If we materially change this Privacy Policy in a way that affects how we use or disclose your personal information, we will notify you by prominently posting a notice of such changes before making them and by stating the effective date of the changes.
