Privacy Policy

Last updated December 6, 2023

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes Entrupy, Inc.’s (“Entrupy” or “we” and its derivatives) practices regarding the types, collection, use, maintenance, protection, and disclosure of the information we collect from you or that you may provide (“User” or “you” and its derivatives) if said User purchases, downloads, installs, registers with, accesses, or uses Entrupy’s website, proprietary authentication systems and services, and mobile applications or other software related thereto (collectively, the “Entrupy Services”).

This Policy DOES NOT apply to information that we collect offline or to information that you provide to or is collected by any third party (see Third-Party Information Collection). These other third parties may have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read before providing information on or through them.

We take our obligations regarding your privacy seriously, and have made every effort to draft this Privacy Policy in a manner that is clear and easy for you to understand. Please read this Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not purchase, download, install, register with, access, or use the Entrupy Services. By purchasing, downloading, installing, registering with, accessing, or using the Entrupy Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy and to our “Terms of Service.” In addition, our “Terms of Service” incorporates the provisions of this Privacy Policy.
This Policy may change from time to time (see Changes to Our Privacy Policy). Your continued use of the Entrupy Services after we revise this Policy means you accept those changes, so please check the Policy periodically for updates.

Children’s Privacy

Entrupy Services are not intended for persons under 18 years of age or the age of majority in their state of residence. Entrupy does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 18, or knowingly allow such persons to register for an account on the Entrupy Services. If we become aware that we have collected or received personal information (i.e., from a third-party consumer using Entrupy’s web-based or mobile device applications or software) from a child under age 18 without verification of parental consent, we take reasonable steps to remove that information. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 18, please contact us at [email protected].

California residents under 16 years of age may have additional rights regarding the collection and sale of their personal information. Please see Your California Privacy Rights for more information.

How We Protect Your Information / Risks Inherent in Sharing Information

The security of your information is important to us. We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls. When you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card numbers, your address, or other billing and payment or other sensitive information, including the value of your merchandise) or make payment transactions, as part of our service, we encrypt the transmission of that information using industry-standard encryption or SSL technology.

Entrupy uses commercially reasonable and industry-standard physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your information. For example, we continuously and regularly back up your data to help prevent data loss and aid in data recovery. We also guard against common web attack vectors, host data in secure data centers, and implement firewalls and access restrictions on our servers to secure our network and better protect your information.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Entrupy Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Entrupy Services (like message boards). The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any User of the Entrupy Services or others. We cannot control the actions of other Users, entities, or individuals with whom you share your information.
