Effective 24 May 2018
FontLab Ltd. Inc. (“FontLab,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) takes the privacy and protection of personal information seriously.
FontLab sells software licenses and related physical materials (the “Products”), and provides related information. We also operate fontlab.com websites (the “Service” or “Services”), including our store, forum, help, support, blog, old, www, and any other websites ending in “fontlab.com.” By using the Service & Products, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
We use your Personal Information for providing and improving the Service and FontLab products. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.
Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms & Conditions, which also govern use of our Service and Products. You can find our Terms & Conditions at https://www.fontlab.com/terms.
Our Privacy Policy includes our Cookie Policy, at https://www.fontlab.com/cookies.
This Privacy Policy describes our collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information, Anonymous Information and Font Data when you use our Service & Products. It does not apply to use of your Personal or Anonymous Information or Font Data collected by third parties that we do not own or control (but it does provide a list of some third parties whose services we directly use).
Personal Data / Personal Information: Means data about a living individual who can be identified from those data (or from those combined with other information either in our possession or likely to come into our possession).
Usage Data: Data collected automatically either generated by the use of the Service or from the Service infrastructure itself (for example, the duration of a page visit).
Data Controller: a natural or legal person who (either alone or jointly or in common with other persons) determines the purposes for which and the manner in which any personal information are, or are to be, processed. For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, we are a Data Controller of your Personal Data.
Data Processor (or Service Provider): any natural or legal person who processes the data on behalf of the Data Controller. For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, any natural our legal person who processes data on our behalf.
Data Subject (or User): any living individual who is using our Service and is the subject of Personal Data.
We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Products and Services to you:
Each of these is described further below.
While using our Service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Data”). Such personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to:
We may use your Personal Information and other information you give us to:
We may also create Anonymous Information from your Personal Information, by omitting data that makes your information personally identifiable.
We do not collect “special categories” of data that qualify for additional protections under Article 9 and 10 of the European General Data Protection Regulation. While we cannot prevent users from sharing such information, whether privately with us, or in public (forum posts, blog comments, etc.), we neither solicit nor aggregate such information.

This Usage Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.
We recognize that fonts may be protected by copyright, trademark, and design rights (including US Design Patents and EU Community design rights). You should be aware of this as well, if you intend to modify third-party fonts using software licensed to you by FontLab.
A “crash” occurs when a program or your computer itself stops operating suddenly and unexpectedly. A crash report is a text file or screen of text created either automatically or on request by your computer in the event of a crash. To give you technical support and/or to address bugs in our Products and Services, we may ask you to provide a crash report.
The crash report includes detailed technical information about your computer, computer peripherals, operating system, and other programs and utilities resident at the time of the crash. It also contains detailed technical information about the operation of programs at the time of the crash.
To give you technical support and/or to address bugs in our Products and Services, we may ask you to provide: digital fonts that you are using with our Products and/or Services; and/or crash reports on crashes that occurred while using our Products and/or Services; and/or other information about your computer environment or your font creation process, to us. Fonts, crash reports and other information provided to us for such purposes will only be used for those purposes; we will not redistribute them to persons other than our staff (including our contractors), nor use them for any other purposes, without explicit permission to do so.
In some cases, if a problem involves third-party software (including but not limited to third-party operating systems and third-party libraries used in our Products), we may additionally ask your permission to share your font and/or crash report and/or other information with a third party. We will only share these things with third parties with your permission.
We expect that you will only provide us with fonts if you have the legal right to do so, either by ownership, appropriate license, or other explicit permission of the rights-holder. Further, you will only give us permission to share a font with a third party if you have the right to grant such permission.
Fonts and other information provided to us for such purposes will only be used for those purposes; we will not redistribute them to persons other than our staff (including our contractors), nor use them for any other purposes, without explicit permission to do so.
