The Parachute Privacy Policy was updated on February 2016.
Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our privacy practices and let us know if you have any questions.
Collection and Use of Personal Information
Personal information is data that can be used to identify or contact a single person. While we do not routinely collect your personal data, you may be asked to provide your personal information if you request contact with the Parachute team. Parachute will not share this personal information with each other and use it consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Here are some examples of the types of personal information Parachute may use:
What personal information we may use
-
The Parachute app for its standard use does not require any other personal information, apart from your phone number and the phone numbers you choose as contacts in case of emergency. Those numbers will not be collected or in any case shared for any reason with any third party.
-
When you download the Parachute app, or you visit our website or contact us, we may ask for basic information, including your name, mailing address, phone number, email address.
-
Parachute will use such information only to fulfill your requests, provide the relevant product or service, or for anti-fraud purposes.
How we use your personal information

The personal information we may optionally ask for allows us to keep you posted on Parachute’s latest product announcements, software updates, and upcoming events. If you don’t want to be on our mailing list, you can opt out anytime.
-
We may use some of your personal information, including age or gender to verify identity, assist with identification of users.
Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information
We also collect data in a form that does not, on its own, permit direct association with any specific individual. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose. The following are some examples of non-personal information that we collect and how we may use it:
-
We may collect information such as occupation, language, zip code, area code, referrer URL, location, and the time zone where a Parachute product is used so that we can better understand customer behavior and improve our products, or services.

We may collect information regarding customer activities on our website, and from our other products and services. This information is aggregated and used to help us provide more useful information to our customers and to understand which parts of our website, products, and services are of most interest. Aggregated data is considered non‑personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.
If we do combine non-personal information with personal information the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined.
Others
It may be necessary − by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence − for Parachute to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and conditions or protect our operations or users. Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger, or sale we may transfer any and all personal information we collect to the relevant third party.
Protection of Personal Information
Parachute takes the security of your personal information very seriously. Parachute online services such as the Parachute website protect your personal information during transit using encryption such as Transport Layer Security (TLS). When your personal data is stored by Parachute, we use computer systems with limited access housed in facilities using physical security measures.
When you use some Parachute products, services, or applications or post on an Parachute forum, chat room, or social networking service, the personal information and content you share is visible to other users and can be read, collected, or used by them. You are responsible for the personal information you choose to share or submit in these instances. For example, if you list your name and email address in a forum posting, that information is public. Please take care when using these features.
Integrity and Retention of Personal Information
We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.
