SqueakyFax has established this privacy policy to explain to you how your information is protected, collected and used. We may update this policy from time to time. SqueakyFax will provide notice of materially significant changes to this privacy policy by posting notice on the SqueakyFax site.

1. Protecting your privacy

• We don't share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
• We may use aggregate data such as “25% of users have less than three people in their office” but it will not be linked to individual users.
• We don't employ tracking devices for marketing purposes ("cookies", "web beacons," single-pixel gifs).
• We don't send you unsolicited communications for marketing purposes.
• Account information is password-protected. Keep your password safe.
• The application uses webserver sessions. Use the “logout” button to exit the application.
• SqueakyFax does not knowingly collect any information from persons under the age of 13. If SqueakyFax learns that a posting is by a person under the age of 13, SqueakyFax will remove that post.
• SqueakyFax, or people who post on SqueakyFax, may provide links to third party websites, which may have different privacy practices. We are not responsible for, nor have any control over, the privacy policies of those third party websites, and encourage all users to read the privacy policies of each and every website visited.

2. Data we collect

• We collect your email address for purposes such as sending self-publishing and confirmation emails, authenticating user accounts, providing email updates, registering for forums, etc.
• We collect your phone number and/or fax number for account authentication purposes, and may transmit it to a third party service for tele-robotic verification.
• SqueakyFax does not store credit card information. Credit card transactions are done with PayPal, with all financial data stored on their servers. That information is governed by their privacy policy and terms of use.
• We may collect personal information if you provide it in feedback or comments, post it on our forums, or if you contact us directly. Please do not post any personal information on SqueakyFax's website that you expect to keep private.
• Our web logs collect standard web log entries for each page served, including your IP address, page URL, and timestamp. Web logs help us to diagnose problems with our server, to administer the SqueakyFax site, and to otherwise provide our service to you.

3. Data we store

• All account and forum postings are stored in our database, even after "deletion," and may be archived elsewhere.
• Our web logs and other records are stored indefinitely.
• Although we make good faith efforts to store the information in a secure operating environment that is not available to the public, we cannot guarantee complete security.

4. Archiving and display of SqueakyFax postings by search engines and other sites

Search engines and other sites not affiliated with SqueakyFax - including archive.org, google.com, and groups.yahoo.com - archive or otherwise make available SqueakyFax forum postings.

5. Circumstances in which SqueakyFax may release information

• SqueakyFax may disclose information about its users if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process.
• SqueakyFax may also disclose information about its users to law enforcement officers or others, in the good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to: enforce our Terms of Use; respond to claims that any faxes, posting or other content violates the rights of third-parties; or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of SqueakyFax, its users or the general public.
• Each fax may contain your name, company name and fax number. SqueakyFax is meant to be used in the collection of past-due invoices, so passing this information along to the debtor is perfectly logical.
