What types of personal information do we collect and how do we use it?

Account information. When you register with Commontales, we will request some personal information, including an e-mail address and password to create your account. Your password will be maintained on our system in an encrypted form that even we can't read. In case you forget your password, we will send you a new one at your e-mail address.

Document contents and usage. The contents of your Commontales account also are stored and maintained on Commontales servers in order to provide the service. Commontales's computers process the information in your documents for various purposes, including keeping a revision history and displaying the information to you, possibly delivering targeted related information (such as advertisements and related links), backing up your documents, and other purposes relating to offering you Commontales. Because we keep back-up copies of data for the purposes of recovery from errors or system failure, residual copies of documents may remain on our systems for some time, even after you have deleted documents or after the termination of your account. Commontales employees do not access the content of any documents unless you specifically request them to do so (for example, if you are having technical difficulties accessing a document) or if required by law, to maintain our system, or to protect Commontales or the public.

We also may collect information about the use of your account, such as how much storage you are using, how often you sign in and other information related to your registration and use of Commontales. Information displayed or clicked on in your Commontales account (including UI elements, ads, links, and other information) is also recorded. We use this information internally to deliver the best possible service to you, such as improving the Commontales user interface.
 

Commontales will never sell, rent or share your personal information, especially your e-mail addresses, with any third parties for marketing purposes without your express permission.
