This privacy policy explains how nFormr handles your personal information and data, and applies to all of the products, services and websites offered by nFormr and their affiliates (collectively, "nFormr"), except where otherwise noted. nFormr products, services and websites are collectively referred to as the "services" in this policy. Unless otherwise noted, all services are provided by nFormr, which is based in the United States.
In this policy, "you" refers to those who use and/or interact with any or all of our products, services, and websites, and "we", "us", and "our" refer to nFormr. "Customer"(s) refers specifically to those who use nFormr services. "Form Responders" refers to those who fill in and/or submit forms used by our Customers.
When you fill in or complete a form used by one of our Customers, we collect information relating to you and your use of our services:
We treat unique form questions and responses as information that is private, unless a party other than nFormr has made that information public. We don’t use form data other than as described in this privacy policy without our Customers’ consent. We don’t sell Customers’ form data, nor do we make it available to third parties without the Customer’s permission.
We use information gathered from and provided by our Customers to do the following for our Customers:
Provide services and technical support, assist them with form design and creation, provide technical troubleshooting, manage our relationship with them, and to gather information on how they use our services.
Certain features of our services use the content of form questions and responses and Customer account information in additional ways. Feature descriptions will identify where this is the case. Customers can avoid the use of form data in this way by simply choosing not to use such features. For example, by using our form templates feature, to add questions to forms, you also permit us to aggregate the responses you receive to those questions with responses received by other form templates users who have used the same questions. We may then report statistics about the aggregated (and de-identified) data sent to you and other form creators.
If you choose to link your nFormr account with a third party account, such as your Google or Facebook account, nFormr may use the information you allow us to collect from those third parties to provide you with additional features, services, and personalized content.
In order to provide you with useful options to use the services together with social media and other applications, we may give you the option to export information to, and collect information from, third party applications and websites, including platforms such as Google and Twitter and social networking sites such as Facebook. When exporting and collecting such information, you may be disclosing your information to the individuals or organizations responsible for operating and maintaining such third party applications and sites, and your information may be accessible by others visiting or using those applications or sites. We do not own or operate third party applications or websites that you connect with – you should review the privacy policies and statements of such websites to ensure you are comfortable with the ways in which they use the information you share with them.
To manage our services. We use your information, including certain form data, for the following limited purposes:
To create new services, features or content. We may use your form data and form metadata (that is, data about the characteristics of a form) for our internal purposes to create and provide new services, features or content. Regarding form metadata, we may look at statistics like response rates, question and answer word counts, and the average number of questions in a form, and publish interesting observations about these for informational or marketing purposes. When we do this, neither individual form creators nor form responders will be identified or identifiable unless we have obtained their permission.
To facilitate account creation and the logon process. If you choose to link your nFormr account to a third party account, such as your Google or Facebook account, we use the information you allowed us to collect from those third parties to facilitate the account creation and login process.
To contact you about your service or account. We will occasionally send you communications of a transactional nature (e.g. service-related announcements, billing-related matters, changes to our services or policies, a welcome email when you first register). You are prevented from opting out of this type of communication since it is required to provide our services to you.
To contact you for marketing purposes. We will send you promotional emails only if you have consented to us contacting you for this purpose. You may opt out of these communications at any time by clicking on the "unsubscribe" link in them, or changing the relevant setting on your account page.
To respond to legal requests and prevent harm. If we receive a subpoena or other legal request for information, we may need to inspect the data held to determine the appropriate response.
Personal information a form responder includes in a form belongs to the responder, unless the responder has given rights in that information to the Customer who provided them with the form. Check with the Customer if you have questions about that. Form submission data is managed by the form creator (the Customer). nFormr treats that information as private unless the responder and/or Customer has made it publicly available. Please contact the form creator directly to understand how they use your form responses. Some form creators may provide you with a privacy policy or notice at the time you complete its form, and we encourage you to review that to understand how the form creator will handle your responses.
We do not sell personal information gathered from form responses. We won’t make available form responses to third parties without permission, and we won’t use any contact details collected in our customers’ forms to contact form responders.
See the section above for information on how we use data provided by our Customers or to which our Customers have given us access.
