https://petraguardsoftware.com Privacy Policy
This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is being used online. PII, as used in US privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website.

What personal information do we collect from the people that visit our website or app?

When you use our contact form, you may be asked to enter your name, email address, subject, and message. We do not ask you to register for an account or place an order on this website.

When do we collect information?

We collect information from you when you fill out a form or choose to send us a report from ChromeGuard.

Our products include Taxi, Advanced eXperimental Taxi Interface, RulerPie, Mathtizzy, Mathe-match-it, Bibli, Memory Work, Twelve Tone, ChromeGuard, and PetraGuard Library.

Taxi, Advanced eXperimental Taxi Interface, RulerPie, Mathtizzy, Mathe-match-it, Bibli, Memory Work, and Twelve Tone do not send personal information back to us. Twelve Tone may save your matrix settings in your own browser (local storage) so they are still there next time you visit. That information stays on your device unless you clear it.

ChromeGuard does not collect browsing history or send user data to us in ordinary use. If you click "Report false positive" or report a site that should be blocked, we record the reported URL, the date and time, and, when the report includes them, the reason and ChromeGuard version. We do not ask for your name or email as part of that report. Our web host may still log a standard request (such as IP address) when the report is submitted.

PetraGuard Library, when hosted for a school or church, stores the information needed to run that library. That can include staff and student names, login identifiers, Google sign-in email addresses where that option is used, checkout records, due dates, fines, and comments or notes. That data is used to operate the library for that school or church, not for advertising.

How do we use your information?

We may use the information we collect from you when you contact us, submit a ChromeGuard report, or use a hosted library site in the following ways:

      To respond to your customer service or contact-form requests.
      To review ChromeGuard false-positive and missed-site reports.
      To operate a hosted library for the school or church that uses it.

How do we protect visitor information?

Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, information you submit through our site is encrypted in transit via HTTPS (SSL/TLS).

We implement a variety of security measures when a user submits or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information.

Donations are processed by Donorbox and its payment partners. We do not store or process credit card numbers on our servers.

Do we use cookies?

We do not use cookies for advertising or analytics tracking.

We may use a session cookie so the contact form can show a confirmation or error after you submit it. Hosted library sites use session cookies to keep you logged in. Twelve Tone uses local storage in your browser for settings, which is not a cookie.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser's Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies.

If you disable cookies, some features will be disabled and some of our services will not function properly, such as the contact form confirmation and library login.

You can still use most of the public website and our downloadable or browser-based tools without cookies.

Third-party disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information unless we provide users with advance notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release information when its release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety.

Third-party links and services

Our website links to third-party products and services. Those sites have their own privacy policies. They include:
      Donorbox, which processes donations.
      The Chrome Web Store, where ChromeGuard is listed.
      Steam, Microsoft Store, Amazon, and YouTube, where Taxi is listed or promoted.
      Help-page links to independent ministries and filtering resources.

Our pages also load fonts from Google Fonts and scripts from Google's jQuery CDN. Google may receive a request from your browser when those files load. Some library sites offer Google sign-in, which is handled by Google under Google's privacy policy.

Google advertising and analytics

We do not use Google AdSense, Google Analytics, or other Google advertising cookies on this website. We do not run third-party ads on petraguardsoftware.com.

California Online Privacy Protection Act and California Consumer Privacy Act

CalOPPA requires commercial websites that collect personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a privacy policy describing what is collected and with whom it is shared. California's Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) adds rights for California residents, including the right to know, delete, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, subject to exceptions and business-size thresholds.

According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:
Users can visit our site anonymously.
A link to this privacy policy is on our home page. The link includes the word "Privacy" and can easily be found on that page.

Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes:
      On our Privacy Policy Page
Users are able to change their personal information:
      By emailing us or using our contact form

How does our site handle Do Not Track signals?
We do not use advertising or analytics tracking, so a Do Not Track (DNT) signal is not needed to avoid ads or analytics on this site. Session cookies for the contact form or a hosted library login may still be used so those features work.

Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking?
We do not allow third-party behavioral advertising or analytics tracking on this website.

California residents:
We do not sell personal information. If you are a California resident and want to know what personal information we have about you, or want it deleted, contact us using the information below. We will respond as required by applicable law.

COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online.

We do not specifically market to children under 13. Some of our products are used by schools, churches, and families, including children. The public website, ChromeGuard, and our games and tools listed above do not require children to provide personal information to us. Hosted library sites may store student library records for a school or church to operate its library, typically at that organization's direction. Parents or school administrators with questions about student library records should contact us or the school or church that uses the library.

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
We will notify the users via email
      Within 7 business days
We will notify the users via in-site notification
      Within 1 business day

We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

CAN-SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

We collect your email address in order to:
      Reply to a message you send through our contact form.

We do not operate a marketing newsletter.

To be in accordance with CAN-SPAM we agree to the following:
If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can contact us at https://petraguardsoftware.com/contact.php and we will promptly remove you from ALL correspondence.
