Ruby Tree may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

Disclosure of Your Personal Information

Ruby Tree does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. We may share your information with your consent. Ruby Tree may share data with trusted partners and service providers to help provide backup and disaster-recovery services, provide data storage and processing services, perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Ruby Tree, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

Ruby Tree may include personal data in connection with or during negotiation of any merger, financing, acquisitions, bankruptcy, dissolution, transaction or proceeding involving sale, transfer, divestiture, or disclosure of all or a portion of our business or assets to another company.

Ruby Tree may disclose your personal information to respond to lawful requests or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Ruby Tree or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Ruby Tree, its customers, and others; (c) respond to valid requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements; (d) protect against legal liability; and, (e) act under emergency to protect the personal safety of users of Ruby Tree, its customers, or the public.

Your Information Choices and Changes

If you wish to ask for access, correction, or deletion of any of your personal information held by us or a change in the way we use your information (for which we reserve the right to charge you a fee, as permitted by applicable law), please contact us at: [email protected]. However, we may decline requests that are unreasonable, prohibited by law, or are not required to be honored by applicable law.

You may opt out of receiving promotional emails from us by following the instructions in those emails. If you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional emails, such as emails about your accounts or our ongoing business relations. You may also send requests about your contact preferences, changes to your information including requests to opt-out of sharing your personal information with third parties by emailing [email protected].

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Ruby Tree services or websites you visit.

Our third-party analytics and advertising partners may provide you with options to opt-out of certain information collection. For more information about the applicable choices they provide you, please visit: Google, Drip, Drift, Help Scout, AddThis, Linkedin, and Facebook.

There are many ways through which web browser signals and other similar mechanisms (for example, "Do Not Track") can indicate your choice to disable tracking, and, while we and others give you choices described in this Statement, we do not currently honor these mechanisms.

Security of your Personal Information

Ruby Tree takes reasonable steps to help secure your personal information in an effort to prevent loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, use, alteration, destruction, or disclosure.

Transfers of Your Personal Information

Personal information we collect may be stored and processed in your region, in the United States or in any other country where we or our affiliates, subsidiaries or service providers maintain facilities. We maintain primary data centers in the United States. We take steps designed to ensure that the data we collect under this Statement is processed according to the provisions of this Statement and applicable law wherever the data is located.

Storage and Retention of Your Personal Information

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide services requested by you, or for other essential purposes such as complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. Because these needs can vary for different data types in the context of different services, actual retention periods can vary significantly. The criteria used to determine retention include:

How long is the personal information needed to provide applicable services? This includes such things as maintaining and improving the performance of the services, enabling system security measures, and maintaining appropriate business and financial records.

Do users provide, create, or maintain the data with the expectation we will retain it until they affirmatively remove it? In such cases, we may maintain the data until actively deleted by the user.

Is the personal information of a sensitive type? If so, a shortened retention time may be appropriate.

Are we subject to a legal, contractual, or similar obligation to retain the data? Examples can include mandatory data retention laws in the applicable jurisdiction, government orders to preserve data, or data that must be retained for the purposes of litigation.

Changes to This Statement

Ruby Tree will occasionally update this Privacy Statement from time to time. If we make any changes to this Statement, we will change the "Last Updated" date above or by providing such notice about or obtaining consent to changes as may be required by applicable law. Ruby Tree encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how Ruby Tree is protecting your information.
