1. Scope of our Privacy Policy


Grapedrop considers protecting and ensuring the safety of user data its top priority. We take the issue of privacy very seriously and would like the users of the service to know that Our Website takes all needed precautions to safeguard and protect user data. Consequently, the gathering, storage, analysis, and use of data during a visit or use of the Website, its services, and offers are in strict compliance with this privacy policy and the relevant legislation. We, at Grapedrop, will only, when required, start gathering and processing users' data if the user provides consent to do so, or if Grapedrop is required to do so by law or legislature.

We have written this policy to help you understand how Our Website gathers, processes, analyses, and uses users' data to provide website services and functionality to users. Our main aim with this policy is to comply with relevant legislation and to act, in our best ability, to prevent unlawful and offensive use, management, damage, destruction, or misapplication of users' data. Our Website, to the best of its abilities, aims to securely store and process all users' data.

2. Personal data


When you sign up for an account with Our Website you are required to provide personal information. Personal data is required to be able to link the account to an individual or a company, ultimately helping Our Website to identify the user. Personal information includes, but is not limited to, full name and email address. User personal information will be treated confidentially at all times. Any other information that cannot be used to identify a user is considered general information (data that cannot be used to directly identify includes but is not limited to, a reference to users username, Internet browser information, gender, age, or education).

3. Data Use and Collection


The Website can be visited without any personal data provided. Our Website processes anonymous metadata through cookies such as the URL of the requested file, the amount of data transferred, the date and time of the request from the user, Internet browser information, operating system type, the IP address of the used device, and reference links such as if a user clicks on certain links. This metadata cannot be used by Our Website to obtain personally identifiable information. This information is only used for general purposes, such as for technical improvements and statistical purposes.

When a visitor chooses to participate actively in the Website, through, for example, setup of a profile, the visitor must enter their personal information, which might include, but is not limited to, their full name, address, and contact information which is collected for security reasons. If users opt to provide personal data, that user provides the necessary authorization to transmit, process, and store this data on the server of the web hosting companies used by Our Website. Similarly, some information can be collected during the process of placing and processing orders on the Website or submitting comments or feedback.

Our Website will not share personal information with third parties unless our users have expressly given their permission to do so. Due to legal requirements and to comply with the relevant laws, Our Website is sometimes forced to reveal users' personal information in certain cases, for example, upon request of the authorities or to process payments. This also includes Our Website exchanging information on individual users to enable and facilitate credit card transactions or assess the creditworthiness of the user. Our Website could be required to disclose information to appropriate authorities for investigation should that be required to do so by law or to protect itself, its users, and contractors from potential abuses.

The user always has the right to request information about the stored data, its origin, its recipients, and the purpose of its collection at no charge. You also have the right to request that it be corrected or deleted. You can contact us at any time using the address given in the legal notice if you have further questions about the issue of privacy and data protection.
