1: This website is hosted on a Virtual Private Server of
digitalocean.com and sits behind
cloudflare.com for extra security. The data you give this website is stored on the webmaster of this website's own private partition on a server of Digital Ocean. It is not intended for those who run Digital Ocean to access, but you acknowledge that we have no control of this, but we do not expect this to happen, as this site uses a virtual PRIVATE server. It is also not intended for those who run Cloudflare, but we are not sure what if any of the data provided to the website that Cloudflare has access to. You acknowledge we will not be held liable for anything Digital Ocean or Cloudflare do. Here is
Digital Ocean's Privacy Policy and
Cloudflare's Privacy & Security Policy.
2: Because this site functions by sending text messages as reminders, it requires phone numbers to be entered into it. That data is only kept so that the reminder service provided by this site can be sent to those phone numbers and will not be used for any other reason. The text messages are sent using
plivo.com and will therefore, be logged on the private plivo account of the webmaster of this website, not intentionally, but inadvertantly as a result of these text messages being sent out. With the exceptions of clauses 1 & 9, this data will not be given or sold to anyone else or used for any other purpose. Here is
Plivo's Privacy Policy.
3: Another piece of data that is collected is the address for the house that the user wants to use this service for. This information is only kept so that it can determine the day of the week you need to put out the garbage or recycling, and which week you have to put out which. It is also kept simply so that the if the Toronto garbage pick up schedule ever changes or garbage district or changes it borders, the system can update when it sends you reminders and/or when it sends you which reminders. The addresses are sent through the Google Maps API, in order to compute a user's garbage schedule. With the exceptions of clauses 1 & 9 of this privacy policy, this data will not be given or sold to anyone else or used for any other purpose. Here is Google's Privacy Policy.
4: Names or nicknames of people are also collected of the people who are going to be putting out the garbage or recycling. This data is simply used so that the reminder service can address them by name in the reminder text messages. The site specifies names or nicknames, to make it clear that people may use nicknames and are by no means required to divulge their actual name. Whether or not a name or a nickname is used, they are included in the text messages sent and therefore end up being logged on the private plivo account of the webmaster of this website. With the exceptions of clauses 1 & 9 of this privacy policy, whether or not people use a name or a nickname, none of that data will be given or sold to anyone else or used for any other purpose. Here is Plivo's Privacy Policy again.
5: For registration, this site requires an email. Your email will be used to send you a email verification link upon registering or upon changing your email and to send you your username(s) or password reset links when and if you ever request them. It may also be used to send you information about your payments, including if your payments ever fail. (Note we will never bug you to pay if your payment fails, and you will keep your user account, but the reminders themselves will then discontinue until you pay again). You might also from time to time receive emails that are related to the website itself, such as emails which describe new features. Your emails will be also be kept with stripe.com on the webmaster of this website's private stripe account, which it will use to sent notifications of failed payments. Again, these are only notifications, and your account will simply eventually be suspended (but not closed), you will owe no money, nor will there be an extra reactivation fee if and when you start paying again. Other emails will also be sent to you from a gmail account, which will cause it to be stored with google. With the exceptions of clauses 1 & 9, your email will not be given or sold to anyone else. Here is Stripe's Privacy Policy and Google's Privacy Policy.
6: When you subscribe to the website, and enter your credit card information, that credit card is not stored on this server, but is instead store on stripe.com. This is because stripe is PCI Compliant and because they provide the monetization integration for this website. This data will not given or sold to anyone else.
7: For registration, this site also requires your birthday. This is simply used to ensure that you are old enough to register with this site. With the exceptions of clauses 1 & 9, your birthdate will not be given or sold to anyone else or used for any other purposes.
8: A user needs to register with a username. Emails are sent from gmail account, and emails from the website generally include emails, and so will end up in google servers. However, usernames may be anonymous and do not need to be real names. With the exceptions of clauses 1 & 9, this data will not be given or sold to anyone else. Again, here is Google's Privacy Policy.
9: In the event that a legally and lawfully issued warrant is issued, data and only data which is directly relevant to the warrant may be provided to law enforcement.
10: We reserve the right to update these privacy policy terms at any time, and will notify the user's of these updates by email.
