IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS AND USE OUR SERVICES.

WE DO NOT SELL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION, NOR DO WE INTEND TO DO SO. WE DO NOT GIVE ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES EXCEPT TO SUBPROCESSORS TO ASSIST US IN THE PROVISION OF OUR SERVICES TO YOU.


2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT ON PORT

We built Port to help connect people without having to share sensitive personal information. This includes the information our users share with us. We pride ourselves on our privacy practices. As such, PORT DOES NOT COLLECT AND STORE ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION. This includes information such as User names, emails, phone numbers or IP addresses.

To improve the performance of the App, we sometimes collect anonymised performance and crash reports. These reports DO NOT include IP addresses, device identifiers or any other information that can be used to uniquely identify you.

Additionally, our client codebase is open source and users can verify that the client is not collecting and transmitting any information in violation of this policy.


3. INFORMATION WE COLLECT ON OUR WEBSITES

We use third-party Cookies from Google Analytics on our websites that collect certain information. This includes but is not limited to browser type, operating system, IP address, geography details, pages visited, time spent and interaction data. You can adjust Your Cookie settings through Our Cookie consent manager. You can either (i) accept all Cookies, (ii) accept necessary Cookies, or (c) reject all Cookies when You visit Our Websites.

In addition, we may collect certain personal information (also referred to as “Personally Identifiable Information” or “PII”) if you provide it voluntarily when submitting forms or signing up for a service on our websites.



4. HOW DO WE PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION WE COLLECT?

  1. We have implemented commercially acceptable security policies, rules and technical measures as required under applicable law, to protect any kind of Personally Identifiable Information that we have under our control from unauthorized access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorized modification and unlawful destruction or accidental loss.

  2. Our Services receive regular security scans, penetration tests, and malware scans. In addition, we mandate the requirement of usernames and passwords for our employees who can access your Personally Identifiable Information that we store and/or process on our servers.

  3. All the Personally Identifiable Information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls. The safety and security of your Personally Identifiable Information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

  4. However, it is contended that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Thus, while we strive to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, we cannot ensure and do not warrant the absolute security of any Personally Identifiable Information you transmit to us. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on our Website and/or App.


5. DATA BREACH PROTOCOL

  1. In the event of any breach to the Personally Identifiable Information we will, at the earliest instance, intimate the concerned government authority(ies) and the User about such breach, in accordance with applicable law. We will oblige with any directions, including urgent remedial or mitigation measures, as provided by the government authority(ies).

  2. We agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.


6. DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

  1. There may be instances when Personally Identifiable Information that you have shared with us may be shared with other third-parties (as listed below) to enable us to provide you with our Services, including contractors and service providers (“Partners”). We will ensure that our Partners protect your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with the safety standards prescribed by applicable law.

  2. We reserve the right to disclose your Personally Identifiable Information (i) to comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request, (ii) to enforce or apply our Terms of Use or Terms of Service and other agreements, including for billing and collection purposes, (iii) if we believe it is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of Numberless, our customers or others, and this includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

  3. We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise transfer Personally Identifiable Information to others.
