PRIVACY POLICY

Boot.dev Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit www.boot.dev (the “Site”).

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, country, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information”.

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

“Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
“Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
“Web beacons”, “tags”, and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

Additionally, when you create an account, purchase services, or attempt to purchase services through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, payment information (including, for example, credit card numbers, PayPal, etc.) and email address. We refer to this information as “Purchase Information.” If you choose to use an integration such as Google, GitHub, or Twitter when logging into the app, we will collect applicable Purchase Information from your integrated profile. This data is stored internally on boot.dev, and is only shown on your boot.dev public profile if you choose to show it.

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Purchase Information.

HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We use the Purchase Information that we collect generally to provide the services through the Site (including processing your payment information, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Purchase Information to:

Communicate with you;
Provide the Boot.dev service to you;
Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

We also use device information to help run online advertisements including retargeting ads.

DATA PARTNERS

When you visit the Site, log in, register or open an email, cookies, ad beacons, and similar technologies may be used by our online data partners or vendors to associate these activities with information they or others have about you, including your email address. We (or service providers on our behalf) may then send communications and marketing to these email addresses. You may opt out of our email marketing by using the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of the emails.

SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above. For example, we use Stripe to power our payment processing -- you can read more about how Stripe uses your Personal Information here: https://stripe.com/privacy. We also use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site; Google AdWords to advertise and track advertisement performance, and YouTube to advertise our services and to provide services to you -- you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Other examples of third party service providers that we share Personal Information with to communicate with you and provide services to you are Sendgrid, Rewardful, and Discord.

Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant, or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.

BEHAVIOURAL ADVERTISING

As described above, we use your Personal Information to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you. For more information about how targeted advertising works, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (“NAI”) educational page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work.

DO NOT TRACK

Please note that we do not alter our Site’s data collection and use practices when we see a Do Not Track signal from your browser. Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. How browsers communicate the Do Not Track signal is not yet uniform. For this reason, our website does not currently interpret, respond to, or alter their practices when they receive Do Not Track signals. Please note that third parties may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you visit our website or other online websites and services. To find out more about "Do Not Track," you may wish to visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

We process your personal information in accordance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). The CCPA became effective on January 1, 2020 and creates a variety of privacy rights for California consumers. We provide the same privacy rights to all of our United States customers.

You have the right to access personal information we hold about you and to ask that your personal information be corrected, updated, or deleted. You also have the right to know how personal information is obtained, how it is used, and our business purposes for that use. You have the right to know if we share your personal information with any third parties. We may share personal information to have our service providers perform services by written contract. In addition, we may share personal information with third parties for other notified purposes, as permitted by the CCPA. For example, we share your personal data with your consent or to complete any transaction or provide any product you have requested or authorized.

You have the right to know whether your personal information is being sold. Your personal information is sold when it is shared with a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration for a purpose that is not a “business purpose” as set forth in the CCPA. We do not sell your Personal Information.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Our services are not directed to or intended for use by minors. Consistent with the requirements of applicable law, if we learn that we have received any information directly from a minor without his or her parent’s verified consent, we will use that information only to respond directly to that child (or his or her parent or legal guardian) to inform the minor that he or she cannot use our services and subsequently will delete that information.

DATA RETENTION

When you register through the Site, we will maintain your Purchase Information for our records unless and until you ask us to delete this information.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
