Shaker.io websites (collectively “Shaker.io” in this document) refer to sites hosted on the Shaker.io, and other related domains and subdomains thereof. This privacy policy describes how Shaker.io uses and protects any information that you give us. We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. If you provide us with personal information through Shaker.io, you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.
Like most website operators, Shaker.io collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Shaker.io’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Shaker.io’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Shaker.io may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Certain visitors to Shaker.io choose to interact with Shaker.io in ways that require Shaker.io to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Shaker.io gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who use our forums to provide a username and email address.
In each case, Shaker.io collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Shaker.io. Shaker.io does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities, like purchasing a WordCamp ticket.
All of the information that is collected on Shaker.io will be handled in accordance with GDPR legislation.
Shaker.io discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of project administrators, employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Shaker.io’s behalf or to provide services available through Shaker.io, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Shaker.io, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.
Shaker.io will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to project administrators, employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, Shaker.io discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, if you give permission to have your information shared, or when Shaker.io believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Shaker.io, third parties, or the public at large.
If you are a registered user of a Shaker.io website and have supplied your email address, Shaker.io may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Shaker.io and our products. We primarily use our blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum.
If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Shaker.io takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
We use the information you provide to register for an account, attend our events, receive newsletters, use certain other services, or participate in the WordPress open source project in any other way.
We will not sell or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so.
We would like to send you email marketing communication which may be of interest to you from time to time. If you have consented to marketing, you may opt out later.
You have a right at any time to stop us from contacting you for marketing purposes. If you no longer wish to be contacted for marketing purposes, please click on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email.
We rely on one or more of the following processing conditions:
Shaker's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
We will retain your personal information on our systems only for as long as we need to, for the programs that support Shaker.io. We keep contact information (such as mailing list information) until a user unsubscribes or requests that we delete that information from our live systems. If you choose to unsubscribe from a mailing list, we may keep certain limited information about you so that we may honor your request.
