Thinger (“Company,” “Thinger,” "App," “us,” “our,” and/or “we“) is committed to protecting the privacy of our Users (“Users,” “you,” and/or “your”).

Capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy have the meanings given in the Thinger Terms of Use below. By using and accessing the Sites and Apps, you consent and agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into the Thinger Terms of Use.

TYPES OF DATA WE COLLECT. “Personal Data” means data that allows someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, as well as any other non-public information about you that is associated with or linked to any of the foregoing data. “Non-Personal Data” means data that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Data; Non-Personal Data does not, by itself, permit the identification of individual persons. We collect Personal Data and Non-Personal Data as described below.
(A) Information You Provide to Us
We may collect Personal Data from you, such as your first and last name, gender, e-mail and mailing addresses, professional title, company name, your industry, and password when you create an account.

For example, we collect the profile name and profile photo you may post to the Sites, and actions you take on our Sites or on third-party applications connected to your Account through the use of our Services.
We also collect other types of Personal Data that you provide to us voluntarily, such as your operating system and version, product registration number, and other requested information if you contact us regarding support for the Services.
We may also collect Personal Data, such as at other points in our Site that state that Personal Data is being collected.

To make our Site and Services more useful to you, our servers (which may be hosted by a third party service provider) collect information from you, including your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (IP) address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain name, unique system/hardware identifier, a date/time stamp for your visit and/or any other unique attributes that are available to us via your use of our Sites, Services, and technology.

We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to identify you and among other things provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Site and Services. Persistent Cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions.

We may collect and store details of how you use our services, including search queries. This information may be used to improve the relevancy of results provided by our services.
We may collect certain usage statistics (the “Usage Statistics“). The Usage Statistics may include, but are not limited to date and time of action (such as, for example, when you print a file, purchase a product or browse the Sites and Apps), type of action, any parameters associated with the type of action, your IP address, and your user Thinger ID. The Thinger ID will only be shared if you are also logged in to the Thinger website and/or relevant parts of the Thinger Ecosystem.

6.3.2 User Content. Thinger has implemented measures to prevent User Content licensed under specific secondary licenses from being accessible through Applications. These measures effectively mean that, subject to the terms of the secondary license that you selected as referenced in Section 4.1 above, you either: 1) need to provide your express permission in sharing User Content through Applications; or 2) you may automatically be opted into having that content be accessible through Applications. You may opt-out of sharing your User Content under 2) above by: a) revoking permission to the Application as specified on the Site; and/or b) choosing a different license. For secondary licenses for which you are not automatically opted-in, you may give permission to make your applicable User Content available through the Application by: a) granting permission to the Application as specified on the Sites; and/or b) choosing an appropriate alternative license. User permission will override the license. A User is responsible for the license they choose for his or her User Content. Regardless of such measures, the Company cannot guarantee that your secondary license will in fact be observed by the Applications. For all Applications, you are solely responsible for ensuring that their Applications comply with the secondary licenses. If you think a Developer is breaching your secondary license, please contact the Developer or Thinger.
6.3.3 Tipping. If you make your User Content available under Section 6.3.2 above, you may be able to make Tips (as described and defined in more detail in the User-to-User Payment Terms.
6.4 Release.

IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU HEREBY WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, WHICH STATES: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."
