Last Modified: November 20, 2024

Welcome and thank you for your interest in Leapcell, Inc. ("Leapcell," "we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how information that identifies or is associated with you (your "personal information") is collected, used, and disclosed by Leapcell. This Privacy Policy applies to our websites, including https://leapcell.io, and any other website that links to this Policy (our "Sites") (collectively, our "Service"). Before accessing or using our Service, please ensure that you have read and understood how we collect, store, use, and disclose your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.

1. What Information Do We Collect and For What Purpose?​

The categories of information we collect can include:

Information you provide to us directly.​

We may collect personal information, such as your name, email address, and payment information, when you register for our Service, sign up for our mailing list, or otherwise communicate with us. We may also collect any communications between you and Leapcell and any other information you provide to Leapcell.

Data collected through the use of the Service.​

We collect information about how you use the Service, your actions on the Service, and content you post to the Service (“User Content”), namely to improve the Service generally, to monitor and resolve issues, and for other internal purposes. Please remember that Leapcell may, but has no obligation to, monitor, record, and store User Content in order to protect your safety or the safety of other users, to assist with regulatory or law enforcement efforts, or to protect and defend our rights and property.

Information we receive from third-party sites you connect to our Service.​

We may receive personal information about you from third parties and combine that with information we collect through our Service. For example, we may obtain information when you log in through a third-party provider, such as GitHub or Slack. These services will authenticate your identity and may provide you the option to share certain personal information with us, which could include your name, email address, or other information. Similarly, when you interact with us through a social media site or third-party service, such as when you like, follow, share, or otherwise engage with Leapcell content on Facebook, Twitter, GitHub, Slack, LinkedIn, or other sites, we may receive information from the social network, including your profile information, picture, user ID associated with your social media account, and any other information you permit the social network to share with third parties. The data we receive from these third-party sites is dependent upon that third party’s policies and your privacy settings on that third-party site. You should always review and, if necessary, adjust your privacy settings on third-party websites and services before linking or connecting them to our Service.

Location information.​

We may approximate your location by your IP Address.

Information we receive from third parties.​

From time to time, we may receive information about you from third parties and other users. We may also collect information about you that is publicly available.

We use this information to operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of the Service, as well as to communicate directly with you, such as to send you email messages, including promotional messages, and permit you to communicate with others on the Service or on social media, or invite others to join the Service. We may also send you Service-related emails or messages (e.g., account verification, updates to features of the Service, technical and security notices). We may also use this information for any other lawful, legitimate business purpose.

For more information about your communication preferences, see ”Control Over Your Information” below.

Sharing of Your Information​

We may share your personal information in the instances described below. For further information on your choices regarding your information, see the ”Control Over Your Information” section below.

We may share your personal information with:

The public and other members of the Service.​

Content you post to public areas of the Service will be viewable by others on the Service and the public. Please do not post personal information to public areas of the Service if you would not want it to be public. If you are a member of a team using Leapcell, the administrator of your team may be able to view some or all of your activity (e.g., audit logs) on the Leapcell services and connected applications.

Third parties at your request.​

For example, you may have the option to share your account on the Service with third parties upon your request.

Third-party vendors and other service providers.​

We share your information with third-party vendors and service providers that perform services on our behalf, as needed to carry out their work for us, which may include identifying and serving targeted advertisements; providing emailing services; providing tax, billing, and accounting services; cloud or web hosting; providing analytics services; or identifying and understanding prospects or leads.

The public when you provide feedback on our Service.​

For example, if you post User Content on our website or comment on our social media sites, your information, such as your first name, last initial, state of residence, and your comments, may be displayed on our Service or on our social media pages.

Our Brands.​

When you provide personal information to one of our Leapcell brands, we may share that information with other companies and brands owned or controlled by Leapcell, Inc., and other companies owned by or under common ownership as Leapcell, which also includes our subsidiaries (i.e., any organization we own or control) or our ultimate holding company (i.e., any organization that owns or controls us) and any subsidiaries it owns. These companies will use your personal information in the same way as we can under this Privacy Policy.

Third parties as required by law or subpoena or if we reasonably believe that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law and the reasonable requests of law enforcement; (b) to enforce our Terms of Service or to protect the security or integrity of our Service; and/or (c) to exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Leapcell, our visitors, or others.

We may also share information with others in an aggregated or otherwise anonymized form that does not reasonably identify you directly as an individual.

How We Use Cookies and Other Tracking Technology to Collect Information​

We and our third-party service providers may collect certain types of usage information when you use our Service, read our emails, or otherwise engage with us. We use this information to enhance and personalize your user experience, to recognize and contact you, and to monitor and improve our websites and Service. In some instances, we and our third-party service providers may combine this usage information with personal information. If we do combine any usage information with personal information, the combined information will be treated by us as personal information hereunder (as long as it is so combined).

We typically collect this information through a variety of tracking technologies, including cookies, Flash objects, web beacons, embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, file information, and similar technology (collectively, "tracking technologies"). We, and our third-party partners, use tracking technologies to automatically collect usage and device information, such as:

  1. Information about your device and its software, such as your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, device type/model/manufacturer, operating system, date and time stamp, and a unique ID that allows us to uniquely identify your browser, mobile device, or your account (including, for example, a persistent device identifier or an Ad ID), and other such information. We may also work with third-party partners to employ technologies, including statistical modeling tools, which permit us to recognize and contact you across multiple devices.

  2. Information about the way you access and use our Service, for example, the site from which you came and the site to which you are going when you leave our Service, the pages you visit, the links you click, whether you open emails or click the links contained in emails, whether you access the Service from multiple devices, and other actions you take on the Service.

  3. Information about your location, including GPS coordinates (e.g., latitude and/or longitude) or similar information regarding the location of your mobile device, or we may be able to approximate or infer a device’s location by analyzing other information, like an IP address.

  4. Analytics information. We may collect analytics data or use third-party analytics tools such as Google Analytics to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Service and to understand more about the demographics of our users. You can learn more about Google’s practices at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners and view its currently available opt-out options at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. We also use pixel tags to collect IP addresses, which may then be used to derive insights from web traffic. If you would prefer not to accept cookies, most browsers will allow you to: (i) change your browser settings to notify you when you receive a cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it; (ii) disable existing cookies; or (iii) set your browser to automatically reject cookies. However, doing so may negatively impact your experience using the Service, as some features and services on our Service may not work properly. You may also set your email options to prevent the automatic downloading of images that may contain technologies that would allow us to know whether you have accessed our email and performed certain functions with it. We and our third-party partners may also use tracking technologies for advertising purposes. For more information about tracking technologies, please see "Third-Party Tracking and Online Advertising" below.

  5. How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals. Although we do our best to honor the privacy preferences of our users, we are unable to respond to Do Not Track signals set by your browser at this time.

Third-Party Tracking and Online Advertising​

Interest-Based Advertising.​

We participate in interest-based advertising and use third-party advertising companies to serve you targeted advertisements based on your browsing history. We may share or permit third-party online advertising networks, social media companies, and other third-party services to collect information about your use of our website over time so that they may display ads on our Service, on other devices you may use, and on other websites, apps, or services, including on platforms like Facebook. Typically, though not always, the information we share is provided through cookies or similar tracking technologies, which recognize the device you are using and collect information such as clickstream data, browser type, time and date of visits, and other usage details. We and our third-party partners use this information to make the advertisements you see online more relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research.

Social Media Widgets and Advertising.​

Our Service may include social media features such as the Facebook Like button, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, or other widgets. These social media companies may recognize you and collect information about your visit to our Service, and they may set a cookie or employ other tracking technologies. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policies of the respective companies. We also display targeted advertising through social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, and others. These platforms have interest-based advertising programs that allow us to direct advertisements to users who have shown interest in our Service, or to groups of users who share similar interests or demographics. These advertisements are governed by the privacy policies of the respective social media companies.

Cross-Device Linking.​

We, or our third-party partners, may link your various devices so that content you see on one device can result in relevant advertising on another device. We do this by collecting information about each device you use when you are logged in to our Service. We may also work with third-party partners who use tracking technologies or statistical modeling tools to determine if multiple devices are linked to a single user or household. We may share a common account identifier (such as an email address or user ID) with third-party advertising partners to help recognize you across devices. This cross-device linkage allows us and our partners to serve interest-based advertising and personalized content across devices, perform analytics, and measure the performance of advertising campaigns.

Google Analytics and Advertising.​

We utilize certain forms of display advertising and other advanced features through Google Analytics, such as Remarketing with Google Analytics, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, the DoubleClick Campaign Manager Integration, and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. These features enable us to use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick advertising cookie) together to inform, optimize, and display ads based on your past visits to our Service. You may control your advertising preferences or opt-out of certain Google advertising products by visiting the Google Ads Preferences Manager or the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) resources.

Your Choices:

  • (a) Cookies: If you prefer not to accept cookies, most browsers allow you to adjust your settings to: (i) notify you when you receive a cookie, letting you decide whether to accept it; (ii) disable existing cookies; or (iii) set your browser to automatically reject cookies. Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may impact your experience on our Service, as some features and services may not work properly.
  • (b) Interest-Based Advertising: To learn about interest-based advertising and how you may opt-out of some of these ads, visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (NAI) and/or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) resources.
  • (c) Cross-Device Linking: Opting-out of receiving interest-based advertising through the NAI or DAA resources will only opt-out a user from receiving ads on that specific browser or device. You must opt-out on each browser or device you use.
  • (d) Mobile Advertising: You may limit interest-based advertising through the settings on your mobile device, by selecting "Limit Ad Tracking" (iOS) or "Opt-Out of Interest-Based Ads" (Android). Additionally, you can opt-out of some interest-based ads by visiting AppChoices and downloading the mobile app. Please note that opting-out of receiving interest-based advertisements does not mean you will no longer see ads from us or on our online services. It simply means that the ads you see will not be based on your interests. Blocking or deleting cookies may negatively impact your experience using the Service, as some features and services may not work properly. Additionally, some third-party cookies may still collect information about your use of our online services for analytics, fraud prevention, and other purposes permitted under their respective programs.

We make every effort to process all unsubscribe requests promptly. Please note that you may not opt out of service-related communications (e.g., account verification, transactional communications, changes/updates to features of the Service, technical and security notices), as these are essential to the functionality of your account and the Service.
