Twingly AB (“Twingly”) operates the website twingly.com. It is Twingly’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Twingly collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Twingly’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Twingly’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Twingly may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Twingly also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on the Twingly blog. Twingly only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Twingly’s websites choose to interact with Twingly in ways that require Twingly to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Twingly gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Twingly are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Twingly collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Twingly. Twingly does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Twingly’s website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Twingly will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Twingly discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Twingly believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Twingly, third parties or the public at large.
