We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Web site and to read the privacy statements of each and every site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies only to information collected by this Web site.

Cookies
  • Cookies are a common Internet technology. Many web sites use cookies to provide useful features for their users. Cookies are small files that are written or downloaded to your computer's hard drive when you access a site. They allow GotAccess to store and quickly retrieve login information on your computer and provide data that we can use to improve the quality of our service. Most Internet browsers (such as Internet Explorer and Safari) are initially set up to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies, although you may not be able to take full advantage of GotAccess if you do so.
  • GotAccess may link information stored in cookies such as your age, gender and country with your personally identifiable information and we may use such information to gather statistics about the number of people who visit GotAccess and to customize GotAccess content, layout and services for delivery to you.
  • Our advertising partners may set and access cookies or use other technologies such as web beacons (which are electronic files that allow a web site to count users who have visited that page or to access certain cookies) in order to personalize advertising content. Use by these advertising partners of their own cookies and any other tracking technologies are subject to their privacy policies. GotAccess uses its reasonable efforts to ensure that its advertising partners are operating privacy policies that are in accordance with GotAccess' own privacy standards as set out in this privacy policy.
You control who shares your information
  • Your GotAccess profile information will only be shared with people you have specifically agreed to share such information with, and to other members of groups you choose to belong to. You can limit who can view certain personal information, such as email addresses and phone numbers. Please bear in mind that if you choose to share your personal information (including any comments, videos, photos or any other information) to other people on GotAccess, you do so at your own risk. We encourage you to fully use access control levels (ACLs) to control who sees what. Only level 0 information is viewable by search engines, and only level 1 information is viewable by everyone on the GotAccess platform. You control the rest. And of course, you also control what information is set at levels 0 and 1.
Reviewing, deleting and changing your Profile
You can review, delete, correct and revise your privacy settings and personal profile, including who has access to your personal profile in your account at any time or contact us for assistance.

Internet awareness
Whenever you voluntarily post personal information in public areas, like journals, weblogs, message boards and forums, this information can be accessed by the public and can in turn be used by others to send you unsolicited communications. GotAccess recommends that you exercise discretion in deciding what information you disclose on the Internet.

Children
  • Children under the age of 13 are not eligible to use GotAccess and must not attempt to register with GotAccess and/or submit any personal information to us. GotAccess does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13, or allow them to register. If it comes to our attention that we have collected personal data from a person under the age of 13, we will delete this information as quickly as possible. If you have reason to believe that this has occurred, please contact us, and we will delete any such information.
  • We recommend that children between the ages of 13 and 17 should not send any information about themselves to anyone over the Internet without asking their parents or legal guardians for permission beforehand.
Security and confidentiality
  • The security of your personal information depends on your protection of your account password. Please do not disclose your account password to unauthorized people. GotAccess uses industry standard technology designed to help keep your personal information safe. Please bear in mind though, that it is impossible for GotAccess to guarantee that impenetrable security measures are in place. For example, we cannot control any illegal and/or unforeseen activity of other users that may allow them to get around the privacy or security settings on the GotAccess website. Consequently, you acknowledge that there are circumstances in which your personal information may be accessed by unauthorized persons.
  • We limit access to your personal information only to employees who we believe need to come into contact with that information in order to do their jobs in connection with the GotAccess service.
  • If you become aware of any breach of data security or have any other questions about the security of our website, please contact us.
Changes in Privacy Policy
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email.
Additionally, we may send registered users an email notifying you of the change. IF ANY MODIFICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOU SHALL STOP USING THE GOTACCESS SERVICE. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE GOTACCESS SERVICE FOLLOWING OUR POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR ON OUR WEBSITE OR BLOG OR RECEIVING OUR EMAIL NOTIFYING YOU OF THE CHANGE WILL CONSTITUTE A BINDING ACCEPTANCE BY YOU OF THE CHANGE.

Canceling membership
You always have the option to cancel your membership at any time and we will not retain any information or content you have posted. It is deleted with your profile, so if you change your mind, you will have to start all over again.
