Who We Are:

DebaTable (https://dailydebatable.com) takes your privacy very seriously. DebaTable strongly believes in keeping your data safe and secure, maintaining data transparency, and not sharing any info without your consent. As such, in administering our Services, we have a few tenets we follow:

  • We are thoughtful about the personal information we ask you to provide and which we collect about you through typical operation of services.
  • We store personal information for only as long as we have a reason to keep it.
  • We aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what information is shared publicly (or kept private), indexed by search engines, and permanently deleted.
  • We aim for full transparency on how we gather, use, and share your personal information.

Cookies:

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed. If you edit or publish content, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the content you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Information and Data We Collect:

We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so—for example, to provide typical Services, to communicate with you, or to make our services better. The information we receive depends on which services you use or authorize and what options are available. Information is collected from three primary sources: information you provide to us, information collected automatically through our services, and from outside services.

Information you provide to us:
– Basic account information: We ask for basic account information from you in order to set up your account. For example, when you sign up for an account, we require individuals to provide and email address and password, along with a username, and that’s it. Users may opt to provide more information, but we do not require this information to create an account.
– Public profile information: If you have an account with us, we collect the information that you provide on your profile, including a photo or an “about me” description, if you have them.
– Content information: Any information you publish to the website including comments, votes, and replies is inherently collected and stored.

Information We Collect Automatically:
– Log In information: Like most online service providers, we collect information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available, including the browser type, IP address, unique device identifiers, language preference, referring site, the date and time of access, operating system, and mobile network information.
– Location information: We may determine the approximate location of your device from your IP address. We collect and use this information to, for example, calculate how many people visit our Services from certain geographic regions. We may also collect information about your precise location (like when you post a photograph with location information) if you allow us to do so through your mobile device operating system’s permissions. If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
– Information from cookies: A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Pixel tags are small blocks of code placed on websites and emails. DebaTable uses cookies and other technologies like pixel tags to help us identify and track visitors, usage, and access preferences to make our Services better with time, as well as track and understand ad campaign click-through effectiveness.

Information We Collect from Other Sources:
– Third Party Login: If you create or log in to your account through another service (like Google) we’ll receive associated login information (e.g. a connection token, your username, your email address).
– Social Sharing Services: if you share information to social media, we may collect data to understand user activity.

Purposes for Using Information:
We use information about you for the following purposes:
– To provide our Services: To set up and maintain your account, as well as publish content.
– To ensure quality, maintain safety and security, and to improve our Services: For example, by providing automatic upgrades and new versions of our Services. Or, for example, by monitoring and analyzing how users interact with our Services so we can create new features that we think our users will enjoy or make our Services easier to use.
– To place and manage ads on our site: For example, using aggregated user traffic information to qualify for ad placement and to understand ad performance.
– To market our Services and measure and improve marketing effectiveness: For example, by targeting our marketing messages to groups of our users, advertising our Services, analyzing the results of our marketing campaigns, and understanding and forecasting user retention. This may also include personalizing your experience by serving you relevant notifications and advertisements for our Services and recommending content. 
– To protect our Services, our users, and the public: For example, by detecting security incidents, detecting and protecting against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, fighting spam, and complying with our legal obligations.
– To fix problems with our Services: For example, by monitoring, debugging, repairing, and preventing issues.
– To communicate with you: For example, by emailing you to ask for your feedback and by sharing tips to get the most out of our website.

How We Share Information:
We share information about you in limited circumstances, and with appropriate safeguards on your privacy.
– Ads and Analytics Service Providers: Ads appearing on any of our Services may be delivered by advertising networks. Other parties may also provide analytics services via our Services. These ad networks and analytics providers may set tracking technologies (like cookies) to collect information about your use of our Services and across other websites and online services. These technologies allow these third parties to recognize your device to compile information about you or others who use your device. This information allows us and other companies to, among other things, analyze and track usage, determine the popularity of certain content, and deliver ads that may be more targeted to your interests. Please note this Privacy Policy only covers the collection of information by DebaTable and does not cover the collection of information by any third-party advertisers or analytics providers. We use Google analytics to monitor traffic to inform growth and utility of the site. In the future, analytics will be a primary feature of this site in which users themselves will have full transparency and ability to use existing aggregated data to tell a unique story.
– Subsidiaries and independent contractors: We may disclose information about you to our subsidiaries and independent contractors who need the information to help us provide our Services or process the information on our behalf. We require our subsidiaries and independent contractors to follow this Privacy Policy for any personal information that we share with them.
– Legal and regulatory requirements: We may disclose information about you in response to a lawful subpoena, court order, or other governmental request. Governmental requests must provide valid identification and cause.
– To protect rights, property, and others: We may disclose information about you when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of DebaTable, third parties, or the public at large. For example, if we have a good faith belief that there is an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury, we may disclose information related to the emergency without delay.
– Business transfers: In connection with any merger, sale of company assets, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, or in the unlikely event that DebaTable goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would likely be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. If any of these events were to happen, this Privacy Policy would continue to apply to your information and the party receiving your information may continue to use your information, but only consistent with this Privacy Policy.
– With your consent: We may share and disclose information with your consent or at your direction. For example, we may share your information with third parties when you authorize us to do so, like when you connected your site to a social media service.
– Aggregated information: We may share information that has been aggregated or de-identified, so that it can no longer reasonably be used to identify you. For instance, we may publish aggregate statistics about the use of our Services, or share a hashed version of your email address to facilitate customized ad campaigns on other platforms.
– Support requests: If you send us a request for assistance (for example, via a support email or one of our other feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish that request in order to clarify or respond to your request, or to help us support other users.
– Embedded content: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

We have a strict policy that we do not sell our users’ data. We don’t sell your personal information to data brokers, and we don’t sell your information to other companies that want to spam you with marketing emails.

We may show ads on our site and the revenue they generate lets us offer free access to some of our Services so that money doesn’t become an obstacle to having a voice.

Under a new California law, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), some personalized advertising you see might be considered a “sale” even though we don’t share information that identifies you personally, like your name or email address, as part of our advertising program.

Information Shared Publicly

Information that you choose to make public is — you guessed it — disclosed publicly. That means information like your public profile, comments, replies, votes, likes, and other content that you make public, are all available to others — and we hope your content gets a lot of upvotes and views!

Security

While no online service is 100% secure, we work very hard to protect information about you against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction, and take reasonable measures to do so. We monitor our Services for potential vulnerabilities and attacks. To enhance the security of your account, we encourage you to enable our advanced security settings, like Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).

Choices

You have several choices available when it comes to information about you:

  • Limit the information that you provide: If you have an account with us, you can choose not to provide the optional account information, including profile information.
  • Limit access to information on your mobile device: Your mobile device or desktop operating system may provide you with the option to discontinue our ability to collect stored information or location information.
  • Opt out of marketing communications: You may opt out of receiving promotional communications from us. Just follow the instructions in those communications or let us know. If you opt out of promotional communications, we may still send you other communications, like those about your account and legal notices.
  • Set your browser to reject cookies: You can choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies before using DebaTable.
  • Close your account: While we’d be very sad to see you go, you can close your account if you no longer want to use our Services.

Your Rights

If you are located in certain parts of the world, including California and countries that fall under the scope of the European General Data Protection Regulation (aka the “GDPR”), you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, like the right to request access to or deletion of your data.

European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

If you are located in a country that falls under the scope of the GDPR, data protection laws give you certain rights with respect to your personal data, subject to any exemptions provided by the law, including the rights to:

  • Request access to your personal data;
  • Request correction or deletion of your personal data;
  • Object to our use and processing of your personal data;
  • Request that we limit our use and processing of your personal data; and
  • Request portability of your personal data.

You also have the right to make a complaint to a government supervisory authority.

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) requires us to provide California residents with some additional information about the categories of personal information we collect and share, where we get that personal information, and how and why we use it. The CCPA also requires us to provide a list of the “categories” of personal information we collect, as that term is defined in the law, so, here it is. In the last 12 months, we collected the following categories of personal information from California residents, depending on the Services used:

  • Identifiers (like your name, contact information, and device and online identifiers);
  • Characteristics protected by law (for example, you might provide information as part of your profile);
  • Internet or other electronic network activity information (such as your usage of our Services);
  • Geolocation data (such as your location based on your IP address);
  • Audio, electronic, visual or similar information (such as your profile picture, if you uploaded one);
  • Inferences we make (such as likelihood of retention or attrition).

You can find more information about what we collect and sources of that information above.

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the CCPA, subject to any exemptions provided by the law, including the right to:

  • Request to know the categories of personal information we collect, the categories of business or commercial purpose for collecting and using it, the categories of sources from which the information came, the categories of third parties we share it with, and the specific pieces of information we collect about you;
  • Request deletion of personal information we collect or maintain;
  • Opt out of any sale of personal information; and
  • Not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your rights under the CCPA.

Contacting Us About These Rights

You can usually access, correct, or delete your personal data using your account settings and tools that we offer, but if you aren’t able to or you’d like to contact us about one of the other rights, email us at support@dbtbl.com to reach us.

When you contact us about one of your rights under this section, we’ll need to verify that you are the right person before we disclose or delete anything. For example, if you are a user, we will need you to contact us from the email address associated with your account. You can also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf by giving us written authorization. We may still require you to verify your identity with us.

Thank You for visiting DebaTable!
