Part of simplifying and enhancing mobile phone experiences involves enabling users to share those experiences with the people that are most important to them — wherever they are. We understand that everything might not be suitable for sharing, so we give users complete control over what gets shared as well as who can see it.
At Dashwire, privacy is extremely important, and we are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of personal information about our users.
Dashwire Inc. (“Dashwire”) provides the Dashwire service and related software through our website located at http://www.dashwire.com (the “Site”). Such service, software and Site are collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Service”. We are pleased to provide this privacy policy to inform you of our practices with respect to how we collect and use personally identifiable information through our products, services, and websites that refer to this Privacy Policy.
The data that we regularly collect about visitors to the Site (e.g., IP address, browser type, pages accessed, duration of visit, etc.) does not necessarily enable us to personally identify you, and that is not our intention. We do collect personally identifiable information about you, such as your name and phone number, but only if you voluntarily provide it by registering with us for using the Service.
Dashwire uses your personally identifiable information primarily to provide you with the Service and to provide customized content on the Service that is of interest to you. The information is also used to verify your authority to access the Service and to contact you when reasonably necessary. Dashwire may also use any information you have provided as reasonably necessary to administer or provide customer support for the Service.
There are a number of separate products and services offered by third parties advertised by us on our site and through the Service that may be complementary to your use of Dashwire.com (e.g., applications purchased for your phone). These product providers will not be given your personal information without your permission. In addition to the forgoing, Dashwire will disclose your personally identifiable information as it believes is reasonably necessary to comply with law, regulation or other governmental authority or to prevent harm to yourself or others. Additionally, as part of the Service, Dashwire will make your public page available to other users of the service that you have accepted friendships with, and who follow your publicly posted content. Users can control public page availability and publishing through their Account Settings. Finally, Dashwire may disclose your personally identifiable information upon a transfer or sale to another entity of all or substantially all of Dashwire’s stock or assets in Dashwire’s line of business to which this Privacy Policy relates or upon any bankruptcy or other corporate reorganization.
Dashwire may structure its business to operate through subsidiaries and other affiliated business entities. We may provide our affiliated businesses with access to your personally identifiable information as part of our business operations. For example, we may provide your information to a subsidiary in order to provide services to you in a foreign country.
For your convenience, we may provide links to certain third party websites or referrals to certain third parties’ products or services. If you choose to visit a third party’s website or use its products or services, please be aware that the third party’s privacy policy, and not the Dashwire privacy policy, will govern your activities and any information you disclose while interacting with the third party.
In the event that you place an order through the Service, your credit card information will be encrypted using SSL technology before being transmitted over the internet. Because any other personally identifiable information you submit to Dashwire is purely voluntary and should not be of a particularly sensitive nature, we employ our standard security measures with respect to this information and do not use special encryption methods at this time. Dashwire user accounts are secured by user-created passwords and HTTPs when signing in. Please note that Dashwire cannot guarantee the security of user account information. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of user information at any time.
Dashwire may make available to users chat rooms, forums, message boards, and other interactive features. Any information disclosed in these areas, or otherwise submitted to Dashwire for publication, becomes public information and is no longer within the shield of this privacy statement. Use extreme caution when disclosing personal information through any of the above-mentioned communication mechanisms.
Users must be 13 years of age or older to create an account. Dashwire has no interest in collecting information from persons under 13 years of age.
Dashwire reserves the right to change this privacy policy, and will post any revisions on the Site. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes. Your continued use of the Site will be subject to the then-current privacy policy.
Dashwire offers you the ability to review and change certain of the information you submit to us by logging into the Site and accessing account settings. Upon your request, we will deactivate your account, and remove your personal information from our active databases. To make this request, email support@dashwire.com. Such information will be deactivated as soon as reasonably possible based on your account activity and in accordance with our deactivation policy and applicable law. We will retain in our files and databases some personal information you have requested to remove to prevent fraud, collect any fees owed, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our Terms of Service and comply with legal requirements as is permitted by law. Therefore, you should not expect that all of your personal information will be completely removed from our databases in response to your requests.
The Site is hosted in the United States. If you are visiting from the European Union (EU) or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, please note that you are transferring your personal data to the United States which does not have the same data protection laws as the EU and by providing your personal data you consent to:
The use of your personal data for the purposes identified above in accordance with this Privacy Policy; and
The transfer of your personal data to the United States as indicated above.
Dashwire adheres to the Safe Harbor principles negotiated between the United States and the EU regarding data protection for customer data and personal data Dashwire receives when you register for the Site or use the Service. Accordingly, when visiting the Site or providing personal data to Dashwire, Dashwire has taken steps to ensure the adequate protection of the processing of your personal data.
Dashwire does not guarantee error-free performance under this Privacy Policy. We may not always catch an unintended privacy issue, despite our efforts to do so. Accordingly, we welcome your feedback regarding any privacy concerns that you may have, including how we can improve this Privacy Policy. We will use reasonable efforts to comply with this Privacy Policy and will take prompt corrective action when we learn of any failure to comply with it.
This Privacy Policy is subject to the terms in our Terms of Service, available for review at http://www.dashwire.com/about/terms, including terms regarding limitations on damages, disclaimers of warranties, and resolution of disputes. Our Terms of Service take precedence over any conflicting provision in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the State of Washington, excluding any conflicts of law principles. Any legal actions against Dashwire must be commenced in the State of Washington within one year after the claim arose.
