    Your information is kept safe

    Your privacy and information security are important to us. We are committed to maintaining and protecting the security of our servers and your personal information. Once we receive your personal information, we will undertake all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems. We use industry-standard encryption methods to protect personal data. In addition, we have established appropriate physical, electronic, and management safeguards to secure the information we collect online, prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure only appropriate use of information.

    1. What information we collect and why

    1.1. Public information

    All your public information can be viewed on your public profile, including nickname, unique URL, profile image, website, social profiles, number of followers, and all the catalogs you have created and published publicly. None of these details are mandatory for setting up an account, but we recommend displaying them on your profile if you are interested in branding or promoting your content.

    You are responsible for the information you share on your profile and the content of your catalogs, so you should think carefully about what you want to publish publicly. For sensitive information that you wish to keep private or share with a limited group of individuals, we recommend publishing your content privately on Catalogmaker.

    If you update your public information on Catalogmaker, it will automatically be updated on our website.

    In addition to displaying your public information and your catalogs on Catalogmaker, we also provide technology such as APIs and embeds to give you the option to make your catalogs available on other sites or platforms. Such embed codes and API integrations are not available to other publishers or site visitors of Catalogmaker.

    1.2. Contact information and password

    We use your email address and password to authenticate your account and keep it secure, preventing fraud, abuses, and spam. We need your email to set up unique user accounts, to be able to get in touch with you, and to send you personalized messages. You can always modify your email address directly from your account, and you can reset your password at any time.

    In addition, your password is non-reversible encrypted before being saved to the database for your protection, so it cannot be copied or stolen, even in case of a hacking attack. We also use your email address to get in touch with you and send you information about our services and market according to your country's laws. You can check your account settings if you wish to control the type of emails you receive from Catalogmaker or to unsubscribe from all email messages.

    You can sign up for Catalogmaker using another service: a Facebook or Google account. If you do, we will use information from that service to create your account, such as your email address and name. We do not collect any passwords at all for users that are using the Facebook Connect API as well as for those connecting with Google API.

    If you fill in a contact form or request to download a resource, you may be asked to provide personal data such as, but not limited to, your full name, your email address, and your consent to receive marketing communications and materials. We collect and process this kind of personal data for the purpose of providing the desired service or resource, studying your interests for marketing purposes, or for improving our website and platform.

    If you leave comments or reply to comments on our blog, you are required to provide your name, your email address, and, optionally, your website URL. We require this personal data to ensure that you are a real person and avoid spam.

    1.3. Payment information

    You may provide payment information on our site when purchasing a premium subscription. We do not store payment information, such as debit/credit card number, CVV code, or PayPal address, on our database or servers. This information is processed and stored on the servers of our reliable and secure payment processors (Razorpay, Stripe and Braintree) in order to enable recurring payments to us. We will store your billing address should you require an invoice. We also store the card's expiration date so that we can send you a notification when your card is about to expire.

    This way, you'll be able to experience uninterrupted premium services and keep your subscription active. If you wish to deactivate recurring payments or update your billing information, you can do so in Account Options. Our payment processors will automatically process your request to deactivate recurring payments, and your recurring payments will stop.

    1.4. Additional information we receive about you

    In addition to the data that you provide to us directly by either typing it in on our site or uploading it, we also use technology to track various aspects of site usage. All the data that we collect or track is needed to operate our services. We do not sell your information. Furthermore, we do not share your private information with anyone, except with trusted third-party service providers (listed in this privacy policy under third-party Service Providers), only if it's necessary for operating our services or because it's required by law.

We use cookies to deliver web content specific to you and collect website usage data. Cookies contain session identification numbers that allow our systems to recall previous sessions for authentication efforts and assemble information from our gathered data. Cookies cannot pass viruses, harm your computer or pass on private information such as an email address without the user's intervention. You can configure your computer's browser to alert you when a site is attempting to send you a cookie and allow you to accept or refuse the cookie. In addition to cookies, we may use small bits of computer code called "one-pixel gifs," "clear GIFs," or "web beacons" embedded in web pages to monitor website activity.

(An IP address is a number assigned to your device by your Internet Service Provider when you are accessing the Internet.) In addition,you may receive personalized messages based on your location.

We generally analyze data sets to make sure our services are fully functional and to ensure reliable and secure performance. We also use such information to better understand user needs, improve our site performance, and send relevant marketing messages that match your interests.

    Embeds. If you view catalogs integrated on third-party websites via embed codes or white-labeled URLs, we may receive log data regarding your activity (what page you visited, session information, and how you interacted with the embedded flipbook). This type of data does not contain any personally identifiable information and is reported as an aggregate to us. We make this data available directly in the publisher's account under statistics and in Google Analytics (for premium users who are using the Analytics integration). This type of information is important for our users, who need to understand how their publications are performing in order to be able to optimize them or refine their marketing strategies.
