Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 1, 2019

StatusNow Holdings, Inc. (“StatusNow”) cares about your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use and share information that we receive through your access and use of our services. Terms such as “we,” “our” and “us” refer to StatusNow.

StatusNow provides services, content and functionality (collectively “Services”) through its mobile application (“App”) and through its website at StatusNowapp.com (including all subsidiary webpages and access to any optimized version of the Site via a wireless device) (“Site”). The Services facilitate the communication of a user’s schedule and status to select member(s) of the user’s StatusNow network through the use of mobile devices or computers.

By accessing, installing, downloading or using the App or the Site or otherwise using the Services, you consent to the collection, use, and storage of your information by us in the manner described in this Privacy Policy. We may amend or update our Privacy Policy. By continuing to use the Services after this Privacy Policy is updated, you consent to any such updated version of this Privacy Policy. In addition to this Privacy Policy, your use of our Services is governed by our Terms of Use.

How We Collect, Use and Share Information

Personally Identifiable Information

In order to use the Services, you need to share certain personally identifiable information (“PII”) such as your name and contact information with us. We use and share your PII to help us operate and provide the Services and to further improve, customize, support and market our Services and to respond to your inquiries and requests. This includes verifying account information and investigating suspicious activity, providing customer support, and developing and testing new features.

Account Information. To become a member, you will need to register and create an account. As part of this process, you will provide us with your name, email address and mobile phone number. You may also provide your office address, home address, or other location and status information. StatusNow will not provide your name, existence as a StatusNow Member, your phone number(s), email or address to anyone who you do not designate as, or invite to be, a member of your StatusNow network. Other members who have designated you as a member of their StatusNow network may see your member status.

Calendar and Address Book Access. In order for the Services to operate, you will also provide us access to your calendar and your contacts or address book (names, e-mail addresses, phone numbers and associated profile photos in your address book) on your mobile device on a regular basis. You confirm you are authorized to provide us such information to allow us to provide Services to you and your designated contacts.

Third Party Providers. We may disclose your PII to third party providers engaged by StatusNow to help provide and manage our Services, provide advertising and marketing services, fulfill your orders, process payments or fulfill other requests. For example, if you are purchasing additional Services, our third party payment processors will receive credit card information as may be further described in any terms of sale and any referenced policies of such third party processors. In general, we require our third party service providers to restrict their use of such PII received through our Services to the intended purposes.

Third Party Connected Services. If you use third party services that are integrated with our Services, such service providers may receive information about what you share with them. For example, if you use a data backup service integrated with our Services (such as iCloud or Google Drive), such provider will receive information about what you share with them. If you interact with a third-party service linked through our Services, you may be providing information directly to such third party. When you use third-party services, the terms and privacy policies of such providers will govern your use of those services.

No Sale of Information for Direct Marketing. StatusNow will not sell or rent any PII collected through the Services to third parties for their direct marketing or other purposes.

Other Uses or Disclosures.

Notwithstanding anything other provisions of this Privacy Policy, StatusNow may disclose your PII to comply with any legal obligation, to enforce or apply our Terms of Use, to investigate, prevent, detect or address fraud, illegal activity, security or technical issues, or to protect our rights or the rights or safety of any other users or third parties. In addition, we reserve all rights to assign our rights and obligations under this Privacy Policy and to disclose or transfer any PII to our affiliates or successor entities or new owners in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets or liquidating any part of our business or assets by operation of law or otherwise.

Location Information

In the future, we may collect and use approximated or real-time location information, such as GPS location, from devices you use to access the Services. We will provide you with notice and an opportunity to consent before we access and collect your real-time location information, and, depending on your device manufacturer, you may have the ability to revoke this consent at any time.

Technical Information

The Services collect certain non-personal technical information that you do not visibly enter, such as your IP address, browser type, click stream data, usage information and statistics, HTTP protocol elements, device type, operating system version and type, and the status of cookies placed on your computer or personal device by StatusNow. If you access the Service from a mobile phone, tablet, automobile, or other electronic device, we may collect and store information such as device type, operating system version and type, unique identifiers (such as Android Advertising ID, VIN, MAC address, and IDFA), carrier, and other related information for that device. In addition, in order to manage and improve our Services, we or our third party service providers may use cookies and web beacons (electronic images that allow us to count visitors who have accessed a webpage, also known as clear GIFs) or similar technologies. These tools do not identify you personally and allow us to track and analyze aggregated usage data about our Services and its use. Our Services may also use third party analytics vendors such as Google Analytics. Please click here for more information about how data is collected and processed in connection with the Google Analytics service: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. We and our third party vendors or partners use analytics data for a variety of purposes such as to improve the design and content of our Services and understand what users like to see.

While using our Services, you may choose to block or disable cookies from your device using your browser settings or options. However, this may impact your user experience and parts of the Services may not work for you. You cannot remove or block web beacons as they form part of the content of the web pages; however because they work in conjunction with cookies, turning off cookies will prevent web beacons from tracking your user activity on our Services. The beacon can still account for an anonymous visit, but your unique information will not be recorded.

All non-personal information collected through the Services may be used and shared by us without any restriction.

Do Not Track Disclosure

The Services do not monitor for or behave differently if your computer transmits a “do not track” or similar beacon or message.

Device Identifiers

When you access or use the Services using a mobile device, tablet or desktop device, we may access, collect, monitor and/or remotely store one or more "device identifiers," such as a universally unique identifier. Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your device that uniquely identify your device. A device identifier may consist of data stored in connection with the device hardware, operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by us. A device identifier may convey information to us about how you use the Services. A device identifier may remain persistently on your device to enhance your navigation of the Services. Some features of the Services may not function properly if use or availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled.

Advertising Identifiers

Advertising identifiers are unique strings associated with your device that are provided by the operating system. Ads appearing on our Site or through the APP may be delivered to you by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your device each time they send you an advertisement to compile non-personal information about you or others who use your device. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers. Certain advertising identifiers may be modified or disabled by you in the operating system's settings.

Use of certain service-type information

We may use information from cookies, log files, device identifiers, location data, web beacons and other tools to: (i) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you use the Services; (ii) provide custom, personalized content or information to you or others; (iii) monitor the effectiveness of the Services; (iv) monitor aggregate metrics, such as total number of visitors, traffic and demographic patterns; (v) diagnose or fix technology problems; (vi) provide advertising to your browser or device; and (vii) conduct research or surveys.

Your Choices; Managing your Information

The Services do not function without the use of your PII and the PII of your contacts. If you do not want us to collect PII from you, you should not register as a member and should not use the Services. If you choose to register as a member and would like to manage, change, limit or delete your information, we allow you to do that through the following tools:

• Settings. At any time, you may change your contact information, preferences, password or billing information in the settings.
• Terminating your Member Account. You may terminate your StatusNow member account at any time by submitting your request to info@StatusNowapp.com. When you do this, any undelivered messages will not be sent. We will retain, manage and delete your account information in accordance with our data retention policy. Note that if you remove the App from your device without terminating your Member account, your Member account will remain active. Please remember that when you delete your Member account, it does not affect the information previously collected through use of the Services or the information other users have relating to you, such as their copy of StatusNow requests or status notices sent to them on your behalf.
• Mailing Lists. If you subscribe to receive updates and information from us by completing a form or submitting a request, we may send you e-mails about a variety of topics including promotional offers from StatusNow regarding our Services or products or services of other companies. In such cases, the contact information you provide to us may be shared externally to enable third party agents to send e-mails to you on our behalf, or may be shared in anonymous, aggregated form for generalized user analysis. At any time, you may choose to unsubscribe from such mailing lists. To do so, please either follow the links or instructions on the bottom of such communication or e-mail or send us a message at info@StatusNowapp.com with your full name and e-mail address and a request to unsubscribe. Note that if you unsubscribe from such mailings, you will continue to receive operational e-mails as necessary for your continued use of your Services (for example: notices about account management, password reset, status requests, etc.) for as long as you are a member or a member sends you requests.

Security

StatusNow has implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational security in order to protect personally-identifiable information from loss and misuse. Despite these precautions, StatusNow cannot guarantee that unauthorized persons will not obtain access to your personally-identifiable information.

Transborder Hosting and Transfer of Information

Personally-identifiable information collected through the Services may be transferred from time to time to StatusNow offices or personnel, or to our third party service providers or partners located throughout the world, and the Services may be viewed and hosted by StatusNow or its providers anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have the same data protection laws as those in your country of residence. By using the Services and registering such information on it, you voluntarily consent to such transborder transfer and hosting of such information. StatusNow and its servers and technology supporting the Services are located in the United States. Information collected through the Services is processed, transmitted and stored in the United States. If you submit any personal information through the Services or our website (for example, if you provide your email address in order to request materials or information) you understand that you are voluntarily consenting to the transmission of such information to a company in the United States and your information will be stored and processed in the United States. You acknowledge and consent to such collection, process, transmission and storage of your information in the United States.

How Long We Keep Your Information

We retain your information (i) as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for you to remain registered with the Services and for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements and (ii) for a commercially reasonable time thereafter as necessary for backup, archival, fraud prevention or detection, or audit purposes, or as otherwise required by law. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. If you close your account with the Services, all personal information we hold about you (except to the extent it resides in back-up files) will be erased. We may maintain anonymized and aggregated data, including usage data, for analytics purposes. Please note that some or all of the information we collect may be required for the Services to function properly.
