If requested by or on behalf of Coda Alliance, this information is requested for identification purposes, to communicate with you regarding your account, and to facilitate the functioning of the Service or other services. We may also use this information to notify you of new features on the Service, or to request that you provide feedback to Coda Alliance about the Service. We may keep this information indefinitely.

This information helps us to design the Service and this Site to better suit our users’ needs.

These tools are intended to make using the Service and this Site easier by, among other things, saving your preferences for you. We may also use cookies to deliver content tailored to your interests. If your browser is set to reject cookies, or if your browser notifies you that you are about to receive a cookie and you reject it, then your use of the Service or this Site may not be as efficient or as enjoyable as it would be if the cookie were enabled. We only use information collected with online information gathering tools like cookies on an aggregated basis without the use of any information that personally identifies you.
Third-Party Integrated Services. We may implement certain third-party advertising or other content on the Service or the Site, or integrate other third-party offerings in the Service or the Site, enabling such third parties to collect information about you through your use of the Service or the Site. Any information collected through such integrated technologies is collected directly by these third parties for use by such third parties, subject to their own privacy practices and policies.
To whom do we disclose information about you collected through the Service or this Site?
Coda Alliance may disclose personally identifiable information (as well as non-personally identifiable information) collected about you through the Service or this Site either (i) when we have your permission or (ii) in any of the following situations without your permission:
• In furtherance of our providing the Service, Coda Alliance may disclose information collected about you through the Service to third-party app developers that integrate their apps with the Service.
• Coda Alliance may also disclose information collected about you to our affiliates, and to third- party contractors who perform services on behalf Coda Alliance in connection with our providing the Service or this Site, or to complete or confirm a transaction that you conduct with us.
• Coda Alliance may disclose the results of aggregated data about you and other users of the Service or the Site without restriction (such as the number of users of the Service at a certain point in time). In these situations, we do not disclose to these entities any information that could be used to personally identify you.
• Coda Alliance may disclose information about you as part of a merger, acquisition or other sale or transfer of all or substantially all of Coda Alliance’s assets or business. We do not guarantee that any entity receiving such information in connection with one of these transactions will comply with all of the terms of this Privacy Policy.
• Coda Alliance may disclose information about you to the government or to third parties under certain circumstances when legally obligated to do so, such as in connection with suspected illegal activity in connection with the Service or this Site or to respond to a subpoena, court order or other legal process. We reserve the right to release information collected through the Service or this Site to law enforcement or other government officials, as we, in our sole discretion, deem necessary or appropriate.
• Coda Alliance may also disclose information about you to third parties if needed to enforce our Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations thereof; to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; or to protect against harm to the Service or the Site.
• If you use the Service or this Site outside of the United States, information that we collect about you will be transferred to servers inside the United States and maintained indefinitely, which may involve the transfer of information out of countries located in the European Economic Area. By using the Service or this Site, you consent to such transfer and processing of data about you.
What security measures do we employ for information about you collected through the Service or this Site?
To help protect the privacy of data we collect through the Service or this Site, where personally identifiable information is directly requested by Coda Alliance, we use technology designed to encrypt any information that you input before it is sent to us. In addition, we take commercially reasonable steps to store all data that we collect through the Service or the Site with the objective of protecting such data against unauthorized access. However, the Service and this Site are operated on software, hardware and networks, any component of which may, from time to time, experience breaches of security or other problems beyond our control.
Please also be aware that despite our best intentions and the guidelines outlined in this Privacy Policy, no data transmission over the Internet or encryption method can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
How can you correct or update information that stored about you by COMPANY?
You may correct or update information collected about you through the Service or this Site by contacting Coda Alliance at the email or mailing address noted below. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to update our files as promptly as possible.
We may retain original and updated information for reasons such as technical constraints, dispute resolution, compliance with laws, fraud prevention, troubleshooting and agreement enforcement. In addition, we are not responsible for updating or removing any information about you collected through the Service or this Site that is already disclosed to third parties who have been provided such information as permitted by this Privacy Policy.
California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser Do Not Track (DNT) signals. Because there is not yet a common standard for how to interpret or respond to DNT signals, we currently do not respond to them. We also cannot control how third parties interacting with our Site (e.g., Google Analytics, Adwords, and others) respond to DNT signals.
What are the policies of linked websites and other third parties?
This Privacy Policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information collected from you by Coda Alliance through this Site or the Service.

We would expect most, if not all, of these third parties will collect information about you when you use their offerings. However, Coda Alliance is not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties, regardless whether they are linked or otherwise connected to this Site or the Service. We encourage you to read the posted privacy policy whenever interacting with any third-party website or other offering.

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy from time to time, any such update to be effective prospectively. Please visit this page periodically so that you will be apprised of any changes.
