JIBIDEE.COM -- PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: June 9, 2008
Jibidee.com recognizes the importance
of and is committed to the utmost privacy for our users' information
(data). The specific information you enter on Jibidee.com is private
to you, highly secured, backed-up daily and will not be shared with
third parties with the exception of limited anonymous information shared
with advertisers as described specifically herein.
Webcarnation LLC is the sole owner
of the information collected on Jibidee.com. Any future transfer
of ownership will be prominently posted on our website and you will
be notified via email. Our pre-existing privacy policy at that
time will be adhered to and transferred to the new owner.
Security. We take security on
the site very seriously. We currently use the "McAfee Secure"
certification process to regularly scan our servers for intrusion vulnerabilities.
The McAfee Secure certification status, which can be easily verified
by users on our home page with the logo and date last tested, requires
that no major vulnerabilities were detected on last scan. We also
use SSL encryption technology from Thawte for all data transmission
to and from the site, from simple user list information (e.g. grocery
list) to of course any credit card transactions. Additionally,
our web servers are housed in a tier-one data center with physical/biometric
security in place, monitored 24x7x365.
Demographic Information. We may
share anonymous demographic information with our advertisers for the
purpose of tailoring the advertising experience. The goal is to
display ads that are more relevant to the user. Personally identifiable
information will never be shared with advertisers.
Contextual Ads. Titles of sheets
you create on the site may be used, in an automated and anonymous way,
to give you ads related to your sheet(s). For example, if you
create a sheet entitled "Vacation Ideas", you may see ads related
to vacations because the term "vacation" is in the sheet title.
The content of your sheets is private to you and will NOT be accessed
for any purpose (e.g. your specific list of vacation destinations).
Emails for Sharing. Our sharing
function allows users to share sheets/documents (e.g. favorite books,
etc.) with other people. All that is required is a user know another
person's email (being a site member is not required to receive shared
sheets/documents). The recipient receives an email from the sharer
with a link/URL to the shared sheet. The assumption is that if
one knows another's email address, the recipient should be ok receiving
an email from that person (likely they know one another). Although
at the time of this writing we do not have a "block sender" or "no
email" setting, we do have plans to build this feature.
Sharing Forward. At this time,
your share recipients will have the option of making a copy of the sheet/document
you share with them and "sharing forward" that sheet to other recipients
without your knowledge or control. So, be sure you trust those
you share with and be mindful of the information you share. Planned
for later 2008, users will have ability to provide "read-only" access
to recipients, disallowing copies or "forward sharing".
No Public Visibility. The information
you enter on this website is not visible to search engines or any other
public location. Your information is accessible only by you and
those you specifically share sheets/documents with through the sharing
function. In the event you share information with someone (via
their email address), only that person can view the particular information
you shared (unless they "share forward" your sheet/document as described
above, although still not publicly visible).
Registration. Information you
provide on the registration form (name, email address, etc.) is used
only for the purposes of (1) fully using the sharing functionality (your
share recipients recognize your name and email address), (2) emailing
you if you opt-in for our newsletter (which you will always have option
to unsubscribe) or service related announcements, (3) your email serves
as your login username, (4) demographic information may be used anonymously
for advertising purposes (advertising is limited to within the site
itself and you will not be spammed or contacted in any way).
Orders. If you choose to purchase
a subscription service from this website, we will need to collect personal
information such as credit card numbers to process the transaction but
that information will not be stored by Jibidee.com. It will only
be transmitted at that time only to the third-party credit card processing
company for the sole purpose of processing the transaction.
Offensive Material, Solicitation or
Harassment. If a user contacts us regarding another user that
is propagating offensive material, soliciting or harassing other users,
we will investigate by looking at the specific information in question,
from the recipient's account, with their permission. We will
not access the account of the accused offending party without their
permission. If our investigation confirms or leads us to believe
the complaint is valid, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate
the offending account with or without prior notice.
Opt-Out or Terminate Account.
Users will always have the ability to opt-out of receiving newsletter
communication (if previously they had opted-in) and/or permanently terminate
their account completely. These options are available under the
"My Account" or "Edit Profile" link located on the website (may
not be available at time of this writing, we are in "beta",
this feature scheduled by July 2008).
Cookies. A cookie is a small
text file that is stored on a user's computer for record-keeping purposes.
We use cookies for the following purposes: (1) remembering the username
from last login and pre-populating on the login page, (2) for users
that choose "Automatically sign me in…", we use a cookie to enable
this function and (3) login and logoff time/date information recorded
for aggregate, anonymous reporting purposes.
Log Files. As with most websites, we
gather anonymous user traffic data such as browser type, operating system,
screen resolution, referring/exit pages, etc. We collect this
anonymous information through a third-party tool, Google Analytics,
for the purposes of understanding trends, site improvements needed,
and general performance of the site.
Employee Access. We limit employee
access to user information, requiring administrator login credentials
and only used as needed for development/programming reasons or to resolve
a technical issue.
Legal. We reserve the right to
disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law
or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process
served on our website.
Changes. If we make any changes
to our Privacy Policy, we will update this document with an effective
date and ensure that it is current on our website.

or suggestions regarding our privacy policy, please contact us at contact@jibidee.com.
