We created Prompt.io™️ so you could easily communicate and share information with others. We respect the privacy of our users and want you to know that your privacy and security is one of our top priorities.

Prompt.io Inc.

This Privacy Policy explains how we will use the information that you provide to us via the Services. Prompt may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we do, we will post the revised Privacy Policy on the Websites.

If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, then please do not use the Services.

1. Information we Collect

Our Services allow our customers to operate a messaging platform to interact with end users via text, email and other messaging channels, including via live chat on their websites or messaging within mobile applications. In this Privacy Policy, the term “Operator” means our customer, i.e. the person or company who is using our Services to operate a messaging platform or to otherwise communicate and collect and exchange information with and from end users. Most of the information our end users provide to the Services will be shared with the Operator of that instance of our Services, as further described in this Privacy Policy.

If you elect to engage in any communication or engagement session with Prompt or an Operator that uses our Services, it is up to you to decide what, if any, information to provide during such session. Depending on your request, it may not be possible for us or the Operator to address all of your questions without further information from you. Nevertheless, if you do not wish to provide certain information, then you should not do so.

If you use our Services as an end user, you agree that we can collect any content, materials or information you enter into the Services (“User Materials”), including personal information. You also agree that these User Materials will be viewed by and shared with the Operator of the Services.

If you contact us by email, text message or other means, we collect the personal information contained within, and associated with, your correspondence.

2. Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect our users' information. Your information is located on secure servers and encrypted before it hits our disks or our third party storage provider’s servers. We use https to protect information in transit when you use the Prompt web application on the Websites. This applies to your personal information, chat messages and other User Content. However, we have no control over the security measures Operators may use to protect the User Content you share with them.

Certain links sent to you via email, text, live chat or social media can effectively be your gateway into some of the Services. If you forward, share, or otherwise divulge those links to a third party, your Prompt account (if applicable) and User Materials may be compromised and you may be impersonated.

If you are communicating with an Operator that uses our Services, you should review the privacy practices of that Operator to understand which security measures they use.

Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without obtaining parental consent. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under the age of 13 on our Services, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we may have collected any such personal information on our Services, please notify us at legal@prompt.io.

You should know that each region can have its own privacy and data security laws, some of which may be less stringent as compared to those of your own region.

8. Disclosure

In addition to disclosing User Content to the Operator of the Services, we may also disclose your information to third-party service providers (e.g., data storage and processing facilities) that assist us in our work. We limit the information provided to these service providers to that which is reasonably necessary for them to perform their functions, and we require them to agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

Prompt may disclose personally identifiable information under special circumstances, such as to comply with subpoenas, when your actions violate the terms of any agreement with us, or when it is in our interest to protect our property or other legal rights (including, but not limited to, enforcement of our agreements), or the rights or property of others, or otherwise to help protect the safety or security of our Services and other users of the Services. It may be necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities, including without limitation, fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or as otherwise permitted or required by law.
