How We Share User Information


We may share your User Information with some third parties – but only as described in this section:


Editors: We will share your User Information with Editors to facilitate their creation of Portraits. For example, your interview transcript will be shared with Editors so they can make editorial decisions.

The Audience: Portraits may be shared by users with their social circle or the general public. To the extent you use the sharing functionality of the service – your Portrait will be shared with the applicable group.

Our Own Service Providers: We employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them to help facilitate such tasks. For example, we may use third parties to send you SMS messages (such as for Service authentication), process and administer customer surveys, etc. In the course of providing such services, these third party providers may have access to your information – but they are only authorized to use or disclose your information in connection with providing us with their services.

With Your Consent: We may share your User Information with other third parties with your consent. The functionality of the Service will make it clear when you are about to share information in this manner – and the audience it will be disclosed to. Such third parties will treat such information in accordance with their own privacy policies and you should read them.


Business Transfers: We may choose to buy or sell all or substantially all of the assets of Quince Portrait. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that would be transferred.  Also, if we (or our assets) are acquired, or if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, your User Information could be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.


Protection of Company and Others: We reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information that we believe is necessary to comply with law or court order or governmental request; enforce or apply any agreement we have with you, or otherwise to protect the rights, property, or safety of Company, our employees, our users, or others.


Aggregate, De-Identified, or Anonymized Information: We may collect, use, and share User Information in an aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized manner (that does not identify you personally) for any purpose permitted under applicable law. This includes creating or using aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized data based on the collected information to develop new services.

Information Collected from Other Websites and Do Not Track Policy


Through cookies we place on your browser or device, we may collect information about your online activity after you leave our Service.  Just like any other usage information we collect, this information allows us to improve the Service and customize your online experience, and otherwise as described in this Privacy Policy.  Your browser may offer you a “Do Not Track” option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and web applications and services (including behavioral advertising services) that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities over time and/or across different websites. The Service does not support “Do Not Track” requests at this time, which means that we collect information about your online activity both while you are using the Service and after you leave the Service.

If we learn that such breach has caused any material loss, damage or unauthorized access to your non-public information, we will promptly attempt to notify you via email or by a posting on your Service account page - so that you can take appropriate protective steps.  We will endeavor to notify you of (i) the nature, timing and extent of the breach, as well as the what we are doing in response and (ii) the steps you can take to protect your information and, if reasonably possible, mitigate things.
