Tugboat QA, LLC knows you are entrusting us with your projects and personal information. Storing your private information is a responsibility we take seriously and we want you to know how we’re handling it. The Privacy Policy applies to both our website, including www.tugboat.qa and to our subscription service (“Service”) at dashboard.tugboat.qa.
If you're just browsing the website, we collect the same basic information most websites collect. We use common internet technologies, such as cookies and web server logs. This is stuff we collect from everybody, whether they have an account or not.
The information we collect about all visitors to our website includes the visitor’s browser type, language preference, referring site, additional websites requested, and the date and time of each visitor request. We also collect potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
Why do we collect this?
We collect this information to better understand how our website visitors use our website, and to monitor and protect the security of the website.
If you create an account, we require some basic information at the time of account creation. You may create your own user name and password, and we will ask you for a valid email account. You also have the option to give us more information if you want to, and this may include “User Personal Information.”
“User Personal Information” is any information about one of our users which could, alone or together with other information, personally identify him or her. Information such as a user name and password, an email address, a real name, and a photograph are examples of “User Personal Information.”
User Personal Information does not include aggregated, non-personally identifying information. We may use aggregated, non-personally identifying information to operate, improve, and optimize our website and service.
If you use GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket to create an account, we'll use an OAuth token to link to your account at the specified git provider. We'll retreive relevant details, such as a username and email address, to create a user account for you within Tugboat. We do not disclose this "User Personal Information" to third parties, and we'll only use this email address to communicate important service information.
Why do we collect this?
We never directly interact with your payment information. Instead, we facilitate connecting you directly to our payment processor, Recurly, who takes care of keeping your subscription up to date and storing your card information in a secure manner.

Such information will be used only for the purposes of processing payments to Tugboat for “Service”.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information, such as social security numbers, genetic data, health information, or religious information. Although Tugboat does not request or intentionally collect any sensitive personal information, we realize that you might store this kind of information in your account, such as in a repository or database. If you store any sensitive personal information on our servers, you are consenting to our storage of that information on our servers, which are in the United States, hosted at Linode. Should you have concerns about the storage of your information, Linode’s privacy policy can be found at https://www.linode.com/privacy.
We do not intentionally collect information that is stored in your repositories or other free-form content inputs. Information in your repositories belongs to you, and you are responsible for it, as well as for making sure that your content complies with our Terms of Service. Tugboat employees do not access private repositories unless required to for security or maintenance, or for support reasons, with the consent of the account owner.
If a URL to a Tugboat Preview is made public, anyone (including us) may view its contents. If you have included private or sensitive information in your Tugboat Preview, such as email addresses, that information may be indexed by search engines or used by third parties. In addition, while we do not generally search for content in your repositories, we may scan our servers for certain tokens or security signatures.
If you're a child under the age of 13, you may not have an account on Tugboat. Tugboat does not knowingly collect information from or direct any of our content specifically to children under 13. If we learn or have reason to suspect that you are a user who is under the age of 13, we will unfortunately have to close your account.
We do not share, sell, rent, or trade User Personal Information with third parties for their commercial purposes.
We may disclose your information in response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal requirements; to exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims; to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud or abuse, violations of our policies; or to protect our rights and property
We do share certain aggregated, non-personally identifying information with others about how our users, collectively, use Tugboat, or how our users respond to our other offerings, such as our conferences or events. However, we do not sell this information to advertisers or marketers.
We may share User Personal Information with your permission, so we can perform services you have requested.
We may share User Personal Information with a limited number of third-party vendors who process it on our behalf to provide or improve our service. Our vendors perform services such as payment processing, customer support ticketing, network data transmission, and other similar services.
In the future, we may sell to, buy, merge with, or partner with other businesses. In such transactions, User Personal Information may be among the transferred assets.
