Usage Information
We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the Site. This information does not reveal your specific identify (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our Site and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Site, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.
Like many businesses, we also collect information through cookies, pixel tags (also called web beacons or clear gifs) and similar technologies. Cookies are small packets of data that a website stores on your computer’s hard drive so that your computer will “remember” information about your visit. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of website users. You can reject cookies by following the directions provided in your Internet provider’s “help” file. If you reject cookies, you may still attempt to visit the Site, and the pages on the Site may load slowly and possibly lead to not being able to access the Site.
We do not collect your personal information in this way, but if you’ve provided us with your personal information, we may associate that information with the information that is collected automatically. Automatic data collection may be performed on our behalf by our service providers.
The information we collect includes:
- Log and Usage Data. Log and usage data is service-related, diagnostic, usage and performance information our servers automatically collect when you access or use our Site and which we record in log files. Depending on how you interact with us, this log data may include your IP address, device information, browser type and settings and information about your activity in the Site (such as the date/time stamps associated with your usage, pages and files viewed, searches, and other actions you take such as which features you use), device event information (such as system activity, error reports and hardware settings).
- Device Data. We collect device data such as information about your computer, phone, tablet, or other device you use to access the Site. Depending on the device used, this device data may include information such as your IP address (or proxy server), device and application identification numbers, location, browser type, hardware model Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, operating system and system configuration information.
- Location Data. We collect location data such as information about your device’s location, which can be either precise or imprecise. How much information we collect depends on the type and settings of the device you use to access the Site. For example, we may use GPS and other technologies to collect geolocation data that tells us your current location (based on your IP address). You can opt out of allowing us to collect this information either by refusing access to the information or by disabling your Location settings on your device. Note however, if you choose to opt out, you may not be able to use certain aspects of the Site.
- Search Data. The word searches you use, how many words you search per day, how often you use the Site, and your submission to the suggestion box will be collected in order to improve the function of our Site. We collect all the words searched and see if there are any gaps in our Site that we need to fill. We identify areas of current interest and try to expand on them to provide a better experience for Users. We also use your information to make improvements to our service - for instance, we might identify certain search terms that are frequently misspelled and add them to the Site.

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998
We strive to educate parents and children about how to appropriately safeguard their privacy when using our Services. To this end, we are committed to complying with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”), which requires us to inform parents and legal guardians about our information collection and use practices. We urge children to check with their parents before entering information through our Site and/or Services, and we recommend that parents discuss with their children restrictions regarding the online release of Personal Information (as defined above and in COPPA) to anyone they don’t know.
Other than the online contact information required to obtain parental consent, we do not collect any Personal Information from Users who are children under the age of 13 unless the User’s parent or legal guardian has first provided us with verifiable consent for that child to use the Services and disclose Personal Information to us.
You represent that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age and you have the legal authority to accept/agree to this Privacy Policy. If you are at least thirteen (13) years of age and less than eighteen (18) years of age, then your parent or legal guardian must read and accept this Privacy Policy, and consent to your use of the Site, and agree to you providing any Personal Information in connection with the Site on your behalf. This Site is not meant for users under the age of thirteen (13), and is not directed to children under the age of thirteen (13).
If you are a User who is a child under the age of 13, please do not send any Personal Information to us if we have not obtained prior consent from your parent or guardian. If we learn we have collected Personal Information from a User who is a child under the age of 13 without parental consent, or if we learn a User who is a child under the age of 13 has provided us Personal Information beyond what we request from them, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a User who is a child under the age of 13 may have provided us Personal Information in violation of this Privacy Policy, please contact us at hello@whatsthesign.com.
By visiting our Site, or by permitting your child to use our Site, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the accompanying Terms of Service. Capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy shall have the meaning set forth in our Terms of Service.
Controls for Do-Not-Track Features
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.
