Privacy Policy Effective May 25, 2018

Scribe On Demand (“Scribe”) knows that you care about how your Personal Data is used and shared. We take your privacy seriously, and protecting your private information is our priority.

Please read the following to learn more about our Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy also tells you about your rights and choices with respect to your Personal Data and how you can reach us to update your contact information or get answers to questions you may have about our privacy practices.

By using or accessing our website or services in any manner, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy, and you hereby consent that Scribe will collect, use, and share your information in the following ways.

WHAT THIS POLICY COVERS

This Privacy Policy covers Scribe’s treatment of personally identifiable information (“Personal Data”) that we gather when you access or use our website and services. Scribe gathers various types of Personal Data from users of Scribe, as explained in more detail below, and Scribe uses this Personal Data internally in connection with services, including to personalize, provide, and improve your use of Scribe and your experience of services, to allow you to set up a user account and profile, to contact you and allow other users to contact you, to fulfill your requests for certain products and services, and to analyze how you use services. In certain cases, Scribe may also share some Personal Data with third parties, but only as described below.

Scribe does not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Data from anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register for services or send any Personal Data about yourself to Scribe. If Scribe shall learn that it has collected Personal Data from a child under age 18, Scribe will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 18 may have provided Scribe Personal Data, please contact Scribe at info@scribe.com.

UPDATES TO THIS POLICY

Scribe is constantly trying to improve its services, so it may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time as well, but Scribe will alert you to changes by placing a notice on the website, by sending you an email, and/or by some other means. Please note that if you’ve opted not to receive legal notice emails from Scribe (or you haven’t provided Scribe with your email address), those legal notices will still govern your use of services, and you are still responsible for reading and understanding them. If you use services after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to all of the changes. Use of information Scribe collects now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected.

Like many websites, we also use cookie technology to collect additional website usage data and to improve the site and our service. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer’s hard disk. A session cookie enables certain features of the site and our service and is deleted from your computer when you disconnect from or leave the site. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the site. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser help file directions. Most internet browsers automatically accept cookies. Scribe may use both session cookies and persistent cookies to better understand how you interact with the site and our service, to monitor aggregate usage by our users and web traffic routing on the site, and to improve the site and our service.
