Who we are
We are Otobex, the world’s first digital autograph creator. Our website address is: https://otobex.com. We are on a mission to change the way people capture and share their most genuine moments, turning everyday exchanges into memories that last.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site (for example, on our blog), we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
Enhanced Transparency: An anonymized string (also called a hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website (for instance, as part of a comment or a community gallery feature), you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included.
Enhanced Warning: Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website. We recommend only sharing images you are comfortable being public.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles or pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
Enhanced Explanation: These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these websites.
Who we share your data with
We value your trust and are committed to being transparent about data sharing. We do not and will never sell your personal data or the digital autographs you create.
We may share your data in the following limited circumstances:
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred to the new entity, subject to the promises made in this Privacy Policy..
Service Providers: We share data with trusted third-party companies that provide services on our behalf, such as website hosting, data analysis, customer support, email delivery, and marketing. These partners are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify.
Legal Obligations: We may disclose information if we believe it is necessary to comply with a valid legal process (e.g., a court order, subpoena), to investigate potential fraud, or to protect the safety, rights, and property of Otobex, our users, or the public.
How long we retain your data
Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
User Accounts: For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Digital Autographs & Creations: The core of our service is to preserve your memories. The autographs, drawings, and messages you create are stored until you actively choose to delete them or until you delete your account.
What rights you have over your data
You have significant control over your data. If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to:
- Receive an Exported File: You can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
- Correct Your Data: You can update your account information directly through your profile settings.
- Request Erasure: You can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
- Specifically for your digital autographs, you can access, edit, download, and permanently delete them at any time within the app.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [privacy@otobex.com].
Where your data is sent
International Transfers: As a global platform, your data may be processed on servers located outside of your country of residence. We ensure that all such transfers are governed by appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, to guarantee that your data receives an adequate level of protection as required by applicable data protection laws.
Visitor Comments: As noted above, comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service that may be operated internationally.
