Privacy Policy

Tabble takes great care to protect your privacy and to secure the data that is stored on the Tabble servers. Tabble takes measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, unauthorized disclosure, manipulation, or destruction.
This Privacy Policy describes how Tabble handles the data it has access to.

Overview

When you use Tabble, you send pieces of data to Tabble; this can be a name, an e-mail address, or information relating to your table. Other data is generated implicitly by your use of Tabble, e.g. log data.
Tabble is designed to allow you to use the service almost anonymously if you wish: You can use Tabble without registration and without entering any e-mail address.

Log data

Tabble records certain requests and transactions in log files. This log data is used for troubleshooting, statistics, quality assurance, and to monitor system security and can be analyzed to that end.
Tabble also uses Google Analytics to compile usage statistics. Analytics is a service provided by Google, Inc. Google’s privacy policy can be accessed here: http://www.google.com/privacy.html

Cookies

When you use Tabble, the service can store cookies on your computer. Cookies are little pieces of information that can help identify your browser and that can store information, e.g. application settings. Tabble uses cookies to track usage, to improve ease-of-use and the overall user experience, and to manage advertising inventories.

Advertising

Advertising is Tabble’s revenue stream. Therefore, Tabble displays advertisements on some of the services, e.g. on certain web pages or in e-mails. These advertisements can be targeted based on the information that is available to Tabble, e.g. language, IP address, table content, etc. This targeting is always an automated process; none of the information used for targeting is analyzed manually or made available to advertising customers. In some cases, Tabble displays advertisements from Amazon and Google. These advertisements can be targeted based on the table content. Amazon and Google do not disclose that information and only use it for the intended purpose. You can review Google’s Privacy Policy here: http://www.google.com/privacy.html

Outdated tables

You can not delete outdated or completed (or, in fact, any) table manually. Outdated tables are automatically deleted from time to time, but no earlier than 90 days after the last access. When deleting a table, that table’s information will be deleted from the Tabble databases.

Unauthorized access

Tabble implements several mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access to tables. To access a table, you use the unique link which Tabble provides and which contains a random access code. This link is an important element to prevent unauthorized access to a table. You should send this link only to authorized people, i.e., the people you wish to participate in your table.

Participants' e-mail addresses

As an option, you can contact and invite people to participate in a table from Tabble. In this case, Tabble needs to know the e-mail addresses of the people to be contacted. You can enter these e-mail addresses in the corresponding form. Tabble doesn't store these e-mail addresses. General remark: Like all other personal information, Tabble will not share participants' e-mail addresses with third parties. Tabble will not send any e-mail communication participants' e-mail addresses without your consent.

Communication between you and Tabble

If you send Tabble a message, this message can be stored to process it, to compile statistical information, to improve our services and support, or to get in touch with you.

Sharing personal information

Tabble uses personal information according to the Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy.
Tabble may share personal information with other companies or individuals only in the following limited circumstances: (i) Tabble has your consent; (ii) Tabble has good faith that there is a legal obligation to share the data; (iii) Tabble needs to access or share the data to protect the security of the service or of others users’ data; (iv) Tabble needs to access or share the data to protect Tabble’s rights and property or to enforce the Terms of Service.
