Joule takes your privacy very seriously, and as a general rule, will never collect unnecessary data from you without your explicit consent. However, through using it, you will end up providing us with some sensitive information, so we want to be explicit about that.
This Privacy Policy describes our policies and procedures regarding our collection and use of your information in connection with your access and use of https://lightningjoule.com/ (the "Site") and the Joule browser extension (the "App" or "Application"). By using these services, you acknowledge and agree to this Privacy Policy.
The terms "us," "we," or "our" refer to Joule. The terms "you", "your", or "user" refer to those accessing our site or application.
Joule's site and application are designed to collect as little information as possible. The following outlines what is (and is not) collected, and how it's handled. What we do collect from users is stored either locally on the user's device, or using browser storage APIs that keep inaccessible to us without user action. Sensitive information such as authentication credentials are stored using a password known only to the user.
The following is a list of third parties who may obtain user information through use of the Site and App, as well as links to their respective privacy policies.
While we aim to only leverage third parties that we find to be privacy-friendly, and try to keep them as opt-in as possible, we are not liable for any privacy violations as a result of the user's interaction with third party services. Any services found to be exploiting our user's information will be removed as quickly as possible.
The following services are used for the hosting and distrubtion of our site and application. Your information is subject to their policies when interacting with them.
For information that your node can't get alone, we link to or use APIs in our application that leverage the following services. Your information is subject to their policies when interacting with them.
If required by a subpoena or court order, we will share information to law enforcement agencies in order to comply with legal requirements. We will make reasonable efforts to notify any subjects of such informational disclosure as is permitted by law.
We may alter this Privacy Policy at its discretion at any time for any or no reason. Any changes will include a corresponding “Last updated” date shown at the top of this page and such changes will go in effect immediately. Prominent notice of any changes may be posted on our site, in our application, or on social media. Such notice is not guaranteed and you should check for updates regularly. The latest version of the Privacy Policy will be considered as superseding any previous version unless otherwise noted.
