Automate My System ("AMS," "we," "us," or "our") respects the privacy of everyone who visits our website, books a call with us, or uses systems we've built, including the businesses we work with directly ("clients") and the end customers of those businesses ("end users"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.
We may collect the following types of information:
Our systems may associate this personal information with your activity in the course of providing service to you, such as pages you view or things you click on or search for.
We do not knowingly contact or collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us so we can promptly obtain parental consent or remove the information.
Any end user who receives an automated text message through a system built by AMS has the right to opt out at any time by replying STOP, or by another method indicated in the message itself. AMS relies on its clients to obtain proper consent from their own customers before that customer's phone number is entered into any check-in system. If you are an end user and believe you received a message without having given consent, please contact the business that sent it directly, or reach out to us and we will assist in resolving the issue.
Information collected in connection with SMS messaging, including phone numbers and opt-in consent records, may be shared with trusted partners in order to provide you with relevant advertising, offers, or services, in the same manner as described in Section 5 below.
We do not sell client or end user information to third parties. We may share information with the following categories of service providers strictly as needed to operate the Services:
These providers are only granted access to the information necessary to perform their specific function and are bound by their own privacy and security practices.
We may also share personally identifiable information, such as name, address, email, or phone number, with trusted partners in order to provide you with relevant advertising, offers, or services. Analytics companies may access anonymous data, such as your IP address or device identifier, solely to help us understand how our services are used; they do not share this data except in aggregate form, and no data is shared as to any individual user.
In limited circumstances, we may make identifiable and anonymous information available to third parties: (1) with your express consent, (2) when we have a good faith belief it is required by law, (3) when we have a good faith belief it is necessary to protect our rights or property, or (4) to any successor or purchaser in a merger, acquisition, liquidation, dissolution, or sale of assets. Your consent will not be required for disclosure in these cases, but we will attempt to notify you to the extent permitted by law.
To customize our service for you, we and our partners may collect, use, and share precise location data, including the real-time geographic location of your computer or device. This location data is collected anonymously, in a form that does not personally identify you, and is used only to provide and improve our service. We may obtain your consent on your first use of the service.
Ad companies may use and collect anonymous data about your interests to customize content and advertising on our site and others. Interest and location data may be linked to your device but is not linked to your identity. You can opt out of this type of tracking through your device or browser settings.
We retain client and end user information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, or as required by law, and we may keep data indefinitely. Clients may request deletion of their data by contacting us directly, subject to any data we are legally required to retain.
We take reasonable measures to protect information stored within the systems we build and manage, including restricting access to authorized personnel. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, or request deletion of the information we hold about you. You can also sign into your account to see or delete personally identifiable information we have stored, such as your name, address, email, or phone number, or contact us directly to request this.
California residents are legally entitled, at no charge and no more than once annually, to request information about how we may have shared their information with others for direct marketing purposes. Contact us for this information: nathan@simpletexting.net.
In order to serve you, we may share your personal and anonymous information with other companies, including vendors and contractors. Their use of this information is limited to the purposes described in this policy and is subject to agreements that require them to keep the information confidential. Our vendors provide assurance that they take reasonable steps to safeguard the data they hold on our behalf, although data security cannot be guaranteed.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
