Privacy Policy

We respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to the Chrome Privacy Now! website, social media and services, including ChromePrivacy.org, Twitter (@ChromePrivacy). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use that information, and what choices you have.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of any companies or individuals that Chrome Privacy Now! does not control, or any websites that link to or from the Chrome Privacy Now! Site. You should use caution and review the privacy policies of any external websites that you visit from the Chrome Privacy Now! Site.

By accessing the Chrome Privacy Now! Site, you agree to accept its terms and conditions and are aware that our policies may evolve in the future.

What do we mean by "personal information?"

For us, "personal information" means information which either directly identifies you (like your name or email address) or can be reasonably linked or combined to identify you (like an IP address). We’ll always tell you what personal information we’re collecting from you. Any information that falls outside of this is "non-personal information."

If we store your personal information with information that is non-personal, we will consider the combination as personal information. If we remove all personal information from a set of data then the remaining is non-personal information.

What do we do with your information once we have it?

When you give us information, we will use it in the ways for which you've given us permission. Generally, we use your information to communicate with you and to assist in processing and managing your requests. 

When do we share your information with others?

  • When we have asked and received your permission to share it.

  • When the law requires it. We follow the law whenever we receive requests about you from a government or related to a lawsuit. We'll notify you when we're asked to hand over your personal information in this way unless we're legally prohibited from doing so. When we receive requests like this, we'll only release your personal information if we have a good faith belief that the law requires us to do so. Nothing in this policy is intended to limit any legal defenses or objections that you may have to a third party's request to disclose your information.

  • If we become part of another organization, the acquiring organization will obtain and have access to the Personally Identifiable Information collected by Chrome Privacy Now! and it will assume the rights and obligations regarding your Personally Identifiable Information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we cease operations, your information may be transferred to and used by another organization that offers similar or related products or services. 

How do we store and protect your personal information?

We are committed to protecting your personal information once we have it. We have implemented security measures on our Site and programs we use internally. Despite our efforts, if we learn of a security breach, we'll notify you so that you can take appropriate protective steps.

We also don't hold your personal information for any longer than we need it, so we only keep it long enough to do what we collected it for. Once we don't need it, we take steps to destroy it unless we are required by law to keep it longer.
