Use of Cookies & Other Tracking Technologies

When you use the Platform, we may automatically collect information and data through the use of Cookies. “Cookies” are small text files a website uses to, among other things, recognize repeat users, facilitate a user's ongoing access to the website and facilitate the use of the website. Cookies also allow a website to track usage behavior and compile site usage information that will allow for the improvement of content and targeted advertising. Generally, we use Cookies to remind us of who you are, tailor our products, services and programs to suit your personal interests, estimate our audience size, track your status in our promotions, and/or analyze your visiting patterns. Most browsers allow you to control Cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them. You may set your browsers to notify you if you receive a Cookie, or you may choose to block Cookies with your browser. However, please be aware that some features of our Platform may not function or may be slower if you refuse Cookies.

We may use Google Analytics or a similar service that uses Cookies to help us analyze how users use the Platform. You may also get Cookies from our advertisers or other third parties with links on the Platform. We may use the services of third parties to collect and use information from Cookies and other tracking technologies about your visits to and interactions with the Site to help us analyze how users use the Site and to personalize advertisements. We also may allow certain third parties such as advertising networks, analytics providers and widget providers to place Cookies in order to collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you access or use the Platform.

Additionally, we may use other tracking technologies, including “tracer tags”, “Pixels”, “Clear GIFs” or “Web Beacons”, to:

· record information such as Internet domain and host names; Internet protocol (IP) addresses; browser software and operating system types; clickstream patterns; and dates and times that the Platform is accessed;

· optimize and tailor the Platform for you and other Users.

Note that we may link the information we record using tracking technologies to other personal information we collect or maintain.

Currently, various browsers offer a “Do Not Track” option, but there is no standard for how “Do Not Track” should work on commercial websites. Due to the lack of such standards, this website does not respond to “Do Not Track” consumer browser settings.

How We Use Your Personal Information

We may use the personal information we collect for the following purposes:

· Provide and improve the Services. We may use your personal information to provide and improve the Platform, to receive services in connection with the provision of the Services or administration of our business, to maintain the accuracy of the information we collect, and to fulfill our contractual obligations.

We may use your personal information to communicate with you about the Platform, respond to your questions, or offer you additional products or services (including products and services offered by our third-party partners). Generally, you can opt-out of receiving promotional communications through links provided in the messages, by updating your account preferences through the Site, or by contacting us directly at [email protected].

We may use your personal information as reasonably necessary to assess and ensure compliance with applicable laws, legal requirements, and company policies; to protect our assets or to investigate or defend against any claims of illegality or wrongdoing (including to obtain legal advice or to establish, exercise or defend legal rights); and in response to a court order or judicial or other government subpoena or warrant.

· Manage our website. We may use your personal information to enable, analyze and improve the Platform, authenticate you, track pages viewed or messages opened, to personalize your browsing experience, and to provide you with tailored content. For example, we may collect statistical information to develop a generic overview of our users, including their collective viewing and usage habits to allow us and other third parties to modify information, promotions, offers and/or discounts on products and services based on user traffic and behavior.

We may also aggregate, anonymize, or otherwise de-identify your personal information and use it for any purpose permitted by applicable law.

Some jurisdictions require that we determine a “lawful basis” for processing personal information. Where such requirements exist, we rely on the following lawful bases for our processing activities: that you have consented to the processing; that the processing is necessary for the performance of our contract with you; that we have a legal obligation; or that we have a legitimate interest in providing and improving the Platform and managing our business operations. To the extent we process personal information on behalf of a customer, we rely on the lawful basis as determined by that customer.

Our use of your personal information may involve the use of automated decision-making (i.e., making a decision by automated means without any human involvement). This includes our use of your personal information in connection with an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system that will automatically review qualitative elements of your literary works submitted on the Platform, rate your works on a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being higher quality and 1 being lower quality), and use such rating and User information to match your project with other Members. However, we do not engage in any form of automated decision-making which would have a legal or similarly significant effect on you.

Depending on your location, the personal information we collect about you may be transferred to a jurisdiction that does not provide the same level of protection of personal information as the jurisdiction in which you reside. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please be aware that we transfer personal information to the United States and process and store it there. As a result, this information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, law enforcement officials and national security authorities in the United States according to its laws. By submitting your Personal Information, you consent to having your personal data transferred to, processed, and stored in the United States. Where cross-border transfers of personal information occur, we have adopted appropriate safeguards to better protect your personal information, to the extent required by and consistent with applicable legal requirements. You may contact us using the contact information provided below to learn more about the appropriate safeguards that apply to your personal information and to request a copy of such safeguards.

Your Choices & Rights

Once you have registered for an account with us, you may update, correct, or delete your profile information and preferences at any time by accessing your account preferences page through the Platform. If you do not wish to receive marketing communications from us, you can opt-out by using the unsubscribe process at the bottom of the email, but you may still receive transactional or administrative emails from us, including emails regarding the status of your profile, payments and similar emails.

In order to fulfill your request, we may require additional information from you. We will respond to requests within the relevant time periods established by applicable law.

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect or maintain personal information directly from persons under 18 years of age (“ children”), and no part of the Platform is directed to children. If you are under 18 years of age, then please do not use or access the Platform at any time or in any manner. If we learn that information has been collected through the Platform from children and without verifiable parental consent (where such consent is required by law), then we will take the appropriate steps to delete this information. If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us using the contact information below to request that we delete the information from our systems.

Our Commitment to Data Security

We have implemented and maintain commercially reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and security of your personal information. Protecting the security of your personal information that you share with us is of the utmost importance to us. Please note, however, that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We therefore cannot guarantee and do not warrant the absolute security of your personal information and any information you transmit to us through the Platform is at your own risk. We cannot control the actions of other users or other third parties with whom you may choose to share your information and therefore we cannot and do not guarantee that information you post through the Platform will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Platform.

In an effort to ensure security and protection of your personal information, we encrypt all submissions using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software. All personal information including, but not limited to, name and address is encrypted in an effort to prevent such information from being used as transmitted over the Internet. Wscripted does not store or save your credit card information. All users’ financial and payment information, such as credit card numbers and other sensitive financial data, are processed through a third-party secure vendor and are not retained by Wscripted.

The personal information you provide and we collect is stored within databases that we control directly or through our third party providers. As we deem appropriate and as required by applicable law, we use security measures appropriate for the sensitivity of the personal information and consistent with industry standards, including, but not limited to, physical, organizational and technological protections to protect your personal information.

The Site contains links to sites operated and maintained by third parties as well as links to products and services provided by third parties. Wscripted has no control whatsoever over such third parties, their Internet sites or their products or services and is not responsible for their content, their privacy policies, or their use of personal information. Wscripted is not responsible for the quality and/or any aspects of linked third-party goods/services, or the third parties’ use of your personal information.

Please review the privacy policies of each website you visit to better understand their privacy practices, as the privacy policies for such linked sites may be different from our privacy policy. You access such linked sites or products or services at your own risk. In addition, Wscripted would like to inform you that anytime you click on links (including advertising banners), which take you to third party websites, you will be subject to the third parties' privacy policies.

Wscripted’s inclusion of such links does not, by itself, imply any endorsement of the content on such websites or of their owners or operators except as disclosed on the Site. Any information submitted by you directly to a third party is subject to that third party's privacy policy. You should always read the privacy policy for a linked site or product or service before disclosing any personal information on such site or in exchange for such product or service.

While we support the protection of our users’ privacy on the Internet, Wscripted expressly disclaims any and all liability for the actions of third parties, including other Members of Wscripted, including without limitation actions relating to the use and/or disclosure of personal information.
