Privacy Policy

Privacy Principles

At Doodle Duck we have a few fundamental principles regarding privacy: We don't ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. We don't share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights. We don't store personal information on our servers unless required for the ongoing operation of our services.

Website Visitors and Users

Like most website operators, Doodle Duck collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Doodle Duck's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use our website.

From time to time, Doodle Duck may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Doodle Duck also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Doodle Duck does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Doodle Duck choose to interact with us in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Doodle Duck gathers depends on the nature of the interaction.

For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account at DoodleDuckCards.com to provide a username and email address. Doodle Duck collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with Doodle Duck. Doodle Duck does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Doodle Duck may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. Doodle Duck may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Doodle Duck does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Doodle Duck discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Doodle Duck's behalf or to provide services available at the Doodle Duck website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others.

Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Doodle Duck's website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.

Doodle Duck will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Doodle Duck discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Doodle Duck believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Doodle Duck, third parties or the public at large.

If you are a registered user of the Doodle Duck website and have supplied your email address, Doodle Duck may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what's going on with Doodle Duck and our products. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users.

Doodle Duck takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns.

Doodle Duck visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using the Doodle Duck website, with the drawback that certain features of the website may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Doodle Duck encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
