We may use third party service providers to help us analyze certain online activities. For example, these service providers may help us analyze visitor activity on the Site. We may permit these service providers to use cookies and other technologies to perform these services for Craft. We do not share any personal data about our customers with these third party service providers, and these service providers do not collect such information on our behalf. These services include:

Finally, you can also register with our Service and create a Service account via certain third-party services such as LinkedIn (each, an “SNS Account”), if and when such functionality is available. If you choose to create a Service account through one of your SNS Accounts, you may have to provide us with your username (or user ID) so that your identity can be authenticated by the SNS Account. When the authentication is complete, we’ll be able to link your account with the SNS Account. That linking may allow us to access certain personal data, such as your name and email address, your user ID for the SNS Account, data tokens used to implement single sign-on and connect with your SNS Account profile, and other personal data that your privacy settings on the SNS Account permit us to access, in connection with creating your Service account. We don’t receive or store passwords for any of your SNS Accounts.

Craft may disclose your personal information:

  • to third-party contractors that provide services (e.g. email notifications or hosting services) to Craft and are bound by these same privacy restrictions;
  • to the third-party analytics providers identified in Section 3, although in this case we will disclose only information your browser automatically provides, not personally identifiable information like your name, email address, or similar contact information;
  • or to an acquirer as indicated in Section 5.

Craft also reserves the right (and you authorize Craft) to share or disclose your personal information when Craft determines, in its sole discretion, that the disclosure of such information is necessary or appropriate:

  • To enforce our rights against you or in connection with a breach by you of this Privacy and Security Policy or the Craft.co Terms of Use;
  • To prevent prohibited or illegal activities; or
  • When required by any applicable law, rule regulation, subpoena or other lawful request of public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

When we disclose personal information for these purposes, we can’t necessarily predict who the recipients may be, but could include law enforcement agencies, national security agencies, our lawyers, and courts.

5. Your data may be transferred upon change of control but only in accordance with this Policy.

Personal information may be transferred to a third party as a result of a sale, acquisition, merger, reorganization or other change of control. If we sell, merge or transfer any part of our business, part of the sale may include your personal information. If so, you will be asked if you’d like to stop receiving promotional information following any change of control.

6. You can delete your data.

When you request us to delete your account for the Service, your data will be permanently expunged from our primary production servers and further access to your account will not be possible. We will also promptly disconnect any connection we had established to your Account Information and delete all account credentials. However, portions of your data, consisting of aggregate data derived from your Account Information, may remain on our production servers indefinitely. Your data may also remain on a backup server or media. Craft keeps these backups to ensure our continued ability to provide the Service to you in the event of malfunction or damage to our primary production servers. We also reserve the right to use any aggregated or anonymous data derived from or incorporating your personal information.

7. We use reasonable efforts to secure your data.

We use a combination of firewall barriers, encryption techniques and authentication procedures, among others, to maintain the security of your online session and to protect Craft.co accounts and systems from unauthorized access.

When you register for the Service, Craft requires a password or SNS Account user ID and data token from you for your privacy and security. Craft transmits information such as your Registration Information for Craft.co or Account Credentials securely.

Our databases are protected from general employee access both physically and logically. We encrypt your Service password so that your password cannot be recovered, even by us. All backup drives and tapes also are encrypted.

8. Our service promotes secure communications with encryption.


From the time you submit your Login ID and Password or your SNS Account user ID and data token, these communications between your computer and Craft.co are encrypted. This enables client and server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering and message forgery.

9. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Login ID and Password.

We maintain strict rules to help prevent others from guessing your password. Your password must be at least 6 characters in length. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Login ID and Password. You may not provide these credentials to any third party. If you believe that they have been stolen or been made known to others, you must contact us immediately at privacy@craft.co and you should change your password immediately via the Service. We are not responsible if someone else accesses your account through Registration Information they have obtained from you or through a violation by you of this Privacy and Security Policy or the Craft.co Terms of Use.
