Tusk Browser sign up provides this Privacy Policy to inform you of our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information we receive from your sign up for Tusk Browser. This Privacy Policy applies only to information that is provided to us through the user sign up. This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the sign up page. Once Tusk is officially launched please review and agree to the Tusk browser privacy policy.

We automatically collect other information about you, including:
The Service pages that you visit and the date and time of your visits;

How We Use Your Information
Newsletters and Marketing
We also may use your Personal Information to contact you with marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you, either generally or in your capacity as a Tusk Browser sign up.
If you decide at any time you no longer wish to receive such communications from us, please follow the unsubscribe instructions provided in any of the communications or contact us as explained in Your Data Protection Rights section below.
Log Data
When you visit the Tusk Browser Sign up page, whether you’re using Cocoon or as a non-registered user of Cocoon or use of any other browser, our servers automatically record information your browser sends whenever you visit a website (“Log Data”). This is different from the information Cocoon will send; here, we are referencing information that is automatically collected by our web server in order to show you pages on the Cocoon Web Sites. This data is collected whether or not you use Cocoon, but only when you visit our website. This Log Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, the web page you were visiting before you came to our Sites, pages of our Sites that you visit, the time spent on those pages, the information you search for on our Sites, access times and dates, and other statistics. We use this information to monitor and analyze the use of the Sites and the Service and for the Sites’ technical administration, to increase our Sites’ functionality and user-friendliness, and to better tailor it to our visitors’ needs. We also use this information to verify that visitors to the Sites meet the criteria required to process their requests.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement
Tusk Browser cooperates with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We may disclose information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties that we believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal processes (including but not limited to subpoenas), to protect the property and rights of Tusk Browser or a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we may consider to be or to pose a risk of being, illegal, unethical or legally actionable. We may also transfer your Personal Information to third-party service providers that assist us with carrying out the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy. Lastly, we may disclose your Personal Information for any other purpose to which you Consent.
Business Transfers
In the event Tusk (or any of its affiliates) goes through a business transition, such as a merger, consolidation, restructuring, acquisition by another company, sale or assignment of rights or assets or a portion thereof, or other company change, we may transfer users’ information, including Personal Information, and other business data in connection with that business transition (e.g., to a subsequent owner, co-owner, or operator of Tusk Browser, or any affiliates and trusted agents, service providers, or partners thereof), including during the course of any due diligence process.
Security
Tusk Browser is very concerned with safeguarding your information. We employ appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access.
Tusk Browser uses physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards, including advanced firewall and password protection for our databases to help protect the security of information. For example, we restrict access to your information to employees that need to know that information in order to operate, develop, or improve our services. However, as you probably know, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Therefore, although we work very hard to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private.
Retention
We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Your Data Protection Rights
Data protection laws vary among countries, with some providing more protection than others. Regardless of where your information is processed, we apply the same protections described in this policy. When we receive formal written complaints, we respond by contacting the person who made the complaint. We work with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of your data that we cannot resolve with you directly.
Our Policy Toward Children
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with Personal Information without their consent, he or she should contact us at privacy@getcocoon.com. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with Personal Information, we will delete such information from our files.
