Privacy Policy

This policy applies to all information collected or submitted on Gistic website and our apps for iPhone and any other devices and platforms.

Information we collect

Gistic accounts are created using email addresses and passwords.

Email addresses are only used for logging in, password resets, responding to emails that you initiate, and sending notifications that you request. We don’t send promotional emails.

The mobile apps collect your device identifications and gps locations.  The information is only used to check for license compliance. 

Technical basics

If you enable notifications, we must store a token to send them. We never use notifications for marketing.

If you upload files to LinearBench, we need to store them until you delete them.

We use cookies on the site and similar tokens in the app to keep you logged in.

Our server software may also store basic technical information, such as your IP address, in temporary memory or logs.

Information usage

We use the information we collect to operate and improve our apps, and customer support.

We do not share personal information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to accomplish LinearBench’s functionality. 

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.

In the future, we may sell to, buy, merge with, or partner with other businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets.

Security

We implement a variety of security measures to help keep your information secure. For instance, all communication with the app and website requires HTTPS with certificate pinning. Passwords are hashed, not stored, using industry-standard methods (currently pgcrypto).

Accessing, changing, or deleting information

You may access or change your information or delete your account from the LinearBench web or mobile apps.

Deleted information may be kept in backups for up to 90 days. Backups are encrypted and are only accessed if needed for disaster recovery.

Gistic may delete your information at any time and for any reason, such as technical needs, legal concerns, abuse prevention, removal of idle accounts, data loss, or any other reason.
