The email address associated with your Google account, if you choose to sign up using your Google credentials.

Information Disclosure

We do not share, sell, rent, or trade User Personal Information with third parties for commercial purposes.

Third Party Vendors

We may share your account information with third parties in some circumstances, including: (1) with your consent; (2) when we have a good faith belief it is required by law, such as pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process; (3) when we have a good faith belief that doing so will help prevent imminent harm to someone.

Data Storage

WatchCrunch uses third-party vendors and hosting partners for hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology we need to run WatchCrunch. By using WatchCrunch Services, you authorize WatchCrunch to transfer, store, and use your information in the United States and any other country where we operate. All service providers and third-party vendors are required to meet our data protection standards.

Site monitoring

WatchCrunch uses a variety of third-party services to diagnose errors and improve the performance of our site. We aim to minimize the amount of personal information shared, but the information may include your IP address or other identifying information. All service providers and third-party vendors are required to meet our data protection standards.

Third-Party Embeds

Some of the content that you see displayed on WatchCrunch is not hosted by WatchCrunch. These “embeds” are hosted by a third-party and embedded in WatchCrunch. For example: YouTube videos, Codepens, Google tweets, or Facebook code that appear within a WatchCrunch post. These files send data to the hosted site just as if you were visiting that site directly (for example, when you load a WatchCrunch post page with a YouTube video embedded in it, YouTube receives data about your activity). WatchCrunch does not control what data third parties collect in cases like this, or what they will do with it. Third-party embeds on WatchCrunch are not covered by this privacy policy; they are covered by the privacy policy of the third-party service. Be mindful when interacting with these services.

Facebook (visitor action pixel)

We use the “visitor action pixels” from Facebook Inc on our website.

This allows user behavior to be tracked after they have been redirected to our website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This enables us to measure the effectiveness of Facebook ads. The data collected in this way is anonymous to us, i.e. we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook, which is why we are informing you, based on our knowledge of the situation. Facebook may link this information to your Facebook account and also use it for its own promotional purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s Data Usage Policy. You can object to the collection of your data by Facebook pixel, or to the use of your data for the purpose of displaying Facebook ads by contacting the following address: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.

Tracking & Cookies

We use browser cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you return to our Services. Third-party vendors may also use cookies for various reasons.

WatchCrunch uses a specific cookie in order to facilitate the use of Google Universal Analytics for users logged-in to the Applications or the Platforms (“Logged-In User). If you are a Logged-In User, WatchCrunch may use your WatchCrunch user ID in combination with Google Universal Analytics and Google Analytics to track and analyze the pages of the Services you visit. We do this only to better understand how you use the Website and the other Services, with a view to offering improvements for all WatchCrunch users; and to tailor our business and marketing activities accordingly, both generally and specifically to you. Google Analytics cookies do not provide WatchCrunch with any Personal Information.You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies on your browser.

You may opt-out of this feature by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, by setting your web browser to refuse cookies, or by setting your browser to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, note that some parts of the Site may not function properly.

Data Security

We use encryption (HTTPS/TLS) to protect data transmitted to and from our site. However, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, so we can’t guarantee security. You use the Service at your own risk, and you’re responsible for taking reasonable measures to secure your account.

Administrative Emails from WatchCrunch

Sometimes we’ll send you emails about your account, service changes or new policies. You can’t opt out of this type of “transactional” email (unless you delete your account).

When you interact with a transactional email sent from WatchCrunch (such as opening an email or clicking on a particular link in an email), we may receive information about that interaction.

Non-administrative Emails from WatchCrunch

Upon creating a WatchCrunch account, you will be opted into the WatchCrunch Newsletter and other non-administrative email. Your email address and user profile information may be stored by a third-party email provider such as MailChimp or Sendgrid. You can opt out of non-administrative emails such as digests, newsletters, and activity notifications through your account’s “Settings” page and at the link of the footer in any non-administrative email you receive from us.

When you interact with a non-administrative email sent from WatchCrunch (such as opening an email or clicking on a particular link in an email), we may receive information about that interaction.
