You can configure your browser so that you do not receive any cookies the next time you use Trackie. However, it is then possible that you will no longer be able to make full use of Trackie or access (parts of) the Trackie service.

If you use cookies, do not forget to log out of Trackie if you access it on a public computer. Also, keep your password secret to avoid others using your Trackie account without your consent.

4. For what purposes will Trackie use information about you?

Use by Trackie

Trackie may use your personal information for the following purposes:

To provide Trackie services. Trackie uses the information to provide its services, such as to operate the Trackie website and to provide additional services in the future.
To communicate with you about Trackie and to send you information concerning Trackie’s own services.

Trackie uses your data, for example, to let you know when changes are made in your projects by you or your project members. We at Trackie do not like spam and assume that you do not either. Therefore, Trackie will send you information regarding the Trackie services only when we think you will appreciate such information. If you do not wish to receive such e-mails, please indicate this in your profile settings.
To configure Trackie to your wishes and needs. Trackie uses the information about you so that it can better respond to your wishes and needs. For example, to store your display preferences for each project.
For protection purposes and to generate anonymous statistical data.

As stated above, your IP address is included in the automatically generated data. Trackie records these addresses to determine which computers visit the Trackie website in order to protect the Trackie website against hacking. This information can also be used to find out the culprits if Trackie users are harassed or if fake profiles are used. Trackie also uses the automatically generated data to generate anonymous user statistics. Third parties that produce user statistics and perform web analyses for Trackie may obtain automatically generated data, including your IP address.

Use by third parties

Trackie will only provide your personal data to third parties if it is obliged to do so on account of national or international laws, case law and/or regulations, if Trackie considers it necessary to do so in defence of its own rights or if you have given permission to do so. Third party services –

On the Trackie website third party services are also offered (such as: the services of our payment service provider). If you use such services, it is possible that you have to give your personal information to a party other than Trackie. The Trackie website may also include hyperlinks (for instance in banners), via which you leave Trackie and end up on a third party website. Trackie has no authority over third party websites and/or the services to which you are linked. It is, therefore, possible that a different privacy policy is applicable to the use of these third party services and/or websites. This Trackie Privacy Policy only relates to (personal) data which have been obtained via the Trackie website. Trackie does not accept any responsibility or liability for (the operation and/or content of) third party websites.

5. How does Trackie protect your personal information?

Trackie takes appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your (personal) information against loss or any form of unlawful use. For example, passwords are stored encrypted so that nobody has access to them, not even the people who work for Trackie.

6. Transfer of data to countries outside the EU

For technical and operational reasons, it may be necessary for your (personal) data to be transferred to (the servers of) companies affiliated to Trackie and/or advertisers located in the United States or other countries outside of Europe. Since legislation concerning data protection may then not offer the same protection as in the European Union, you hereby agree that your (personal) information can be transferred to the United States or another country outside of Europe.

7. Can this Privacy Policy be changed?

It is possible for the Privacy Policy to be amended in the future. That would then be mentioned on this page, so it is recommended to regularly have a look at this page.

8. Questions?

Privacy rightly is a sensitive subject. We at Trackie have written this Privacy Statement in an effort to make it as non-legal and readable as possible. The internet’s a beautiful place, but it’s very important you retain maximum control over your personal data. For that reason, you can always view your (personal) data in the settings of your profile and, if necessary, make changes or delete them.

Should you, however, for still have questions about privacy – for whatever reason – please feel free to contact us directly via e-mail, at info@trackieapp.com.
