Last Revised: June 18, 2024

Effective Date: June 24, 2024

We, DitchIt, LLC (“DitchIt,” “we,” or “us”), are committed to protecting the privacy and security of personal information and to transparency about how we use personal information (also known as personal data). This Privacy Policy sets forth our policies and practices for collecting and using personal information regarding any of our services that link to this Privacy Policy (our “Services”). This Privacy Policy does not address our use of personal information outside the context of these Services.

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, we regard personal information as any information that relates to an identified person or reasonably identifiable person.

Within the context of the Services, this Privacy Policy explains how we use and disclose personal information. It also discusses how you can control certain uses and disclosures of your personal information. We will update this Privacy Policy from time to time, or as our privacy practices change, to ensure it accurately describes how we use personal information. When we do so, we will update the dates above. We recommend that you review this Privacy Policy occasionally for the latest information. If we change our practices in a material way, we will update this Privacy Policy.

If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy or our use of your information, please contact us using one of the methods detailed in the last section of this Privacy Policy.

However, users of the Services who submit posts may include any text or images of their choosing, even if the text or images include these categories of information. We advise all users of the Services not to do so, but we do not monitor posts for these categories of information.

2. Disclosure and sharing

In addition to the sharing with the third parties described in the table above, we may also share your personal information with:

  • Processors/service providers. We share your personal information with third parties that provide services to us. We engage these kinds of third parties with contracts that require them to use your personal information only to deliver the services for which we have engaged the third party, and as required by law. These third parties provide business, professional, administrative, or technical support functions for us, such as payment processing, billing, data storage, quality assurance, and marketing.

 

  • Legal compliance recipients. We disclose personal information to the courts, the government, law enforcement agencies, litigants, and similar recipients when required by law.

 

  • Successors. We may disclose personal information associated with a part of our business to a buyer, potential buyer, or other successor to our business.

 

We also may disclose personal information to third parties with your consent or at your direction.

Because no consensus has emerged on how to process a web browser’s “do not track” signal, we do not currently take any action in response to the signal. We also do not process the Global Privacy Control signal and do not presently fall within the scope of any legal requirement to do so.

3. Security, quality, and retention

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information in our possession from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorized access, unauthorized modification, or unauthorized disclosure. Nevertheless, you should understand that no data storage system or transmission of data over the internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be completely secure, accurate, complete, or current.

We also take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we collect is sufficiently accurate, up-to-date, and complete for the purposes for which we process or disclose the personal information.

We retain personal information for as long as necessary for the purposes for which we use it, or longer if required by law. What is necessary depends on the context and purpose of processing. We generally consider the following factors when we determine how long to retain personal information:

  • retention periods established under applicable law;
  • industry best practices;
  • whether the purpose of processing is reasonably likely to justify further processing;
  • risks to individual privacy in continued processing;
  • applicable data protection impact assessment;
  • information systems design considerations/limitations; and
  • costs associated with continued processing, retention, and deletion.

4. International users

If you use our Services from outside the United States, please be aware that your personal information will be stored and processed in the United States, where our servers are located.

5. Children’s privacy

Our Services are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from those under the age of 18. If we discover (or are informed) that we have collected personal information from a visitor under the age of 18, we will promptly delete such information.
