This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how and when Electrolab collects, uses and shares your information when you use the Services. Electrolab receives your information through SafeStart.Me, SafeStart, Electrolab's various websites, SMS, email notifications and Electrolab's other covered services that link to this Policy (collectively, “the Services”) and from Electrolab's partners and other third parties. For example, you send Electrolab information when you use the Services on the web, via SMS, or via email. When using any of the Services you consent to the collection, transfer, storage, disclosure, and use of your information as described in this Policy.
Information sent through the Services is controlled by Electrolab Ltd., PO Box 320, Belleville, Ontario, Canada K8N 5A5. Despite this, you alone control and are responsible for the content you submit through the Services, as provided in the Terms of Service.
Irrespective of which country you live in, you authorize Electrolab to use your information in, and as a result to transfer it to and store it in, Canada, the United States, and any other country where Electrolab operates. Privacy and data protection laws in some of these countries may vary from the laws in the country where you live.
If you have any questions or comments about this Policy, please contact Electrolab at privacy@safestart.me.
Basic Account Information: When you create or reconfigure an account, you provide some personal information, such as your name, username, password, email address, or phone number. On the Services, your name and email address are listed within any organization of which you are a member.
Contact Information: You may use your contact information, such as your email address or phone number, to customize your account or enable Services, for example, for login verification, or for reminders via SMS. If you provide Electrolab with your phone number, you agree to receive SMS messages to that number from Electrolab. Electrolab may use your contact information to send you information about the Services, to market to you, to help prevent spam, fraud, or abuse, and to help organization administrators find your account, including through third-party services and client applications. You may use your settings for email and mobile notifications to control notifications you receive from the Services. You may also unsubscribe from a notification by following the instructions contained within the notification or the instructions on Electrolab's website. If you email us, Electrolab may keep your message, email address and contact information to respond to your request.
Entries, Reminders and other Information: the Services are primarily designed to help you submit entries and receive reminders. Most of the information you provide Electrolab through the Services is information you are asking Electrolab to make visible to any organization of which you are a member. Your visible information includes the entries you submit; the metadata provided with entries, such as when the entry was submitted; the language and time zone associated with your account; and the reminders you create and many other bits of information that result from your use of the Services. Electrolab may use this information to make inferences, such as topics you may be interested in, and to customize the Services. Electrolab's default is almost always to make the information you provide through the Services visible to any organization of which you are a member, for as long as you are a member of that organization, and as long as you do not delete the information, but Electrolab gives you the option to delete your information, or leave an organization at any time, or make the information more private if you want. You can change the language and time zone associated with your account at any time using your profile settings. The Services broadly and instantly disseminate your visible information to a wide range of users, organizations, and services. For instance, your entries are immediately visible to administrators of any organization of which you are a member. When you share information or content via the Services, you should think carefully about what you are making visible.
Location Information: Electrolab may receive information about your location. For example, when you create your SafeStart.me account, the registration process may tell Electrolab your location. Electrolab may also determine location by using other data from your device, such as precise location information from GPS, information about wireless networks or cell towers near your mobile device, or your IP address. Electrolab may use and store information about your location to provide features of the Services, and to improve and customize the Services.
Links: Electrolab may keep track of how you interact with links across the Services, including Electrolab's email and SMS notifications, third-party services, and client applications, by redirecting clicks or through other means. Electrolab does this to help improve the Services and to be able to share aggregate click statistics such as how many times a particular link was clicked on.
Cookies: Like many websites, Electrolab uses cookies and similar technologies to collect additional website usage data and to improve the Services. A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to your computer or mobile device. Electrolab may use both session cookies and persistent cookies to better understand how you interact with the Services, to monitor aggregate usage by Electrolab's users and web traffic routing on the Services, and to customize and improve the Services. Although most web browsers automatically accept cookies, some browsers' settings can be modified to decline cookies or alert you when a website is attempting to place a cookie on your computer. However, some Services may not function properly if you disable cookies.
Log Data: When you use the Services, Electrolab may receive information (“Log Data”) such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, the referring web page, pages visited, location, your mobile carrier, device information (including device and application IDs), search terms, and cookie information. Electrolab receives Log Data when you interact with the Services, for example, when you visit Electrolab's websites, sign into the Services, and interact with Electrolab's email or SMS notifications. Electrolab may also receive Log Data when you click on, view or interact with links on the Services, including links to third-party applications. Electrolab uses Log Data to provide, understand, and improve the Services, to make inferences, and to customize the content Electrolab shows you. If not already done earlier, Electrolab will either delete Log Data or remove any common account identifiers, such as your name, full IP address, or email address, after a maximum of 18 months.
Third-Parties and Affiliates: Electrolab uses a variety of third-party services to help provide the Services, such as sending email or SMS reminders, and to help Electrolab understand and improve the use of the Services, such as Google Analytics. These third-party service providers may collect information sent by your device as part of a web page request, such as cookies or your IP address. Electrolab may also receive information about you from Electrolab's corporate affiliates in order to help provide, understand, and improve the Services and Electrolab's affiliates' services.
User Consent or Direction: Electrolab may share or disclose your information at your direction, such as when you authorize a third-party web client or application to access your account. Other users may share or disclose information about you, such as when they generate organization activity reports. If you've shared information with another user or organization who accesses the Services through a third-party service, keep in mind that the information may be shared with the third-party service.
Service Providers: Electrolab engages service providers to perform functions and provide services to Electrolab in Canada, the United States, and other countries. Electrolab may share your private personal information with such service providers subject to obligations consistent with this Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures, and on the condition that the third parties use your private personal data only on Electrolab's behalf and pursuant to Electrolab's instructions.
Law and Harm: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Policy, Electrolab may preserve or disclose your information if Electrolab believes that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; to protect the safety of any person; to address fraud, security or technical issues; or to protect Electrolab's rights or property. However, nothing in this Policy is intended to limit any legal defenses or objections that you may have to a third party's, including a government's, request to disclose your information.
Business Transfers and Affiliates: In the event that Electrolab is involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, your information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction. This Policy will apply to your information as transferred to the new entity. Electrolab may also disclose information about you to Electrolab's corporate affiliates in order to help provide, understand, and improve the Services and Electrolab's affiliates' services.
Non-Private or Non-Personal Information: Electrolab may share or disclose your non-private, aggregated or otherwise non-personal information, such as your public information, after Electrolab has removed any private personal information (such as your name or contact information).
If you are a registered user of the Services, Electrolab provides you with tools and account settings to access, correct, delete, or modify the personal information you provided to Electrolab and associated with your account.
You can also permanently delete your SafeStart.Me account. If you follow the instructions in the help documentation, your account will be deactivated and then deleted. When your account is deactivated, it is not viewable on SafeStart.me. For up to 60 days after deactivation it is still possible to restore your account if it was accidentally or wrongfully deactivated. Absent a separate arrangement between you and Electrolab to extend your deactivation period, after 60 days, Electrolab will begin the process of deleting your account from Electrolab's systems, which can take up to a week.
Keep in mind that search engines and other third parties may still retain copies of your public information, even after you have deleted the information from the Services or deactivated your account.
Electrolab's Services are not directed to persons under 13. If you become aware that your child has provided Electrolab with personal information without your consent, please contact us. Electrolab does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If Electrolab becomes aware that a child under 13 has provided Electrolab with personal information, Electrolab takes steps to remove such information and terminate the child's account.
We may revise this Policy from time to time. The most current version of the policy will govern Electrolab's use of your information and will always be at https://safestart.me/privacy. If Electrolab makes a change to this policy that, in Electrolab's sole discretion, is material, Electrolab will notify you via SafeStart.Me or email to the email address associated with your account. By continuing to access or use the Services after those changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Privacy Policy.
