Intelligent Editing Privacy Policy
Last Updated: September 11, 2023
Intelligent Editing ("us", "we", or "our") operates www.perfectit.com (the “Website” or “Site”) and PerfectIt (the "Subscribed Services").

Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in the PerfectIt Service and Subscription Agreement accessible at: Service and Subscription Agreement
This policy excludes the practices of entities beyond our ownership or control, as well as individuals outside our management.

We use certain Third-Party Service Providers to collect, store, use, process, and transfer information. These providers include Facebook (including Facebook ads, also known as Meta ads), Google (including Google Analytics), Microsoft (including Outlook and SharePoint), and Stripe, our payment processor. We may use additional Third-Party Service Providers from time to time as well.
Third-Party Services collect, use, and share personally identifiable information (PII) pursuant to their own privacy and security policies. Some of them, including Google, may use location information and other PII to serve advertisements to consumers on other websites. By using our Service, you consent to our providing PII with Third-Party Services to be used in accordance with their own privacy and security policies as they exist today and as they may change in the future.

You can opt out of having your activity on the Website made available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity.
Service Providers for PerfectIt Cloud
For PerfectIt Cloud services, we may employ Third-Party Service Providers and individuals to facilitate providing the Subscribed Services, to provide the Subscribed Services on our behalf, or to perform services related to the Subscribed Services. These Third Parties have access to your personal information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
Links to Other Sites
The Subscribed Services may contain links to other sites not operated by us. If you click on a Third-Party link, you will be directed to that Third-Party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any Third-Party sites or services.
Compliance with Laws
We will disclose your personal information where required to do so by law or under an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or if we believe that such action is necessary to comply with the law and the reasonable requests of law enforcement or to protect the security or integrity of the business or the Subscribed Services.
Security
The security of your personal information is important to us but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. As such we make no warranties as to the level of security afforded to your data, except to the extent that applicable laws require.
International Transfer
If you use PerfectIt Cloud services, your information, including personal information may be transferred to—and maintained on—computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United Kingdom and provide information to us, we may transfer the information, including personal information, to the United Kingdom and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer. If a dispute arises regarding the international transfer of data, you agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction over the matter.
PerfectIt Windows Edition software does not automatically transmit any information over the Internet.

If the Business Changes Hands
We may, from time to time, expand or reduce our business and this may involve the sale and/or the transfer of control of all or part of our business. Any personal information and data that you have provided will, where it is relevant to any part of our business that is being transferred, be transferred along with that part and the new owner or newly controlling party will, under the terms of this Privacy Policy, be permitted to use that information only for the same purposes for which it was originally collected by Us.

Consistency Checker and Abbreviation List
We offer two add-ons for Google Docs called Consistency Checker and Abbreviation List. They are also available as add-ins for Microsoft Word. The Privacy Policy for these programs is identical to PerfectIt Cloud services except for one difference. When Consistency Checker and Abbreviation List transmit documents, those documents are not encrypted when they are saved to the server (though, like PerfectIt Cloud services, they are encrypted during transmission).
