At Time Space Map, we know that you care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy. By accessing the Concharto website or using any of the services provided through the website you are accepting the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.

What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?

This Privacy Policy covers Time Space Map’s treatment of personal information that Time Space Map gathers when you are on the Concharto website and when you use Concharto services.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to content you post or otherwise make available to other users or the public via the website. You acknowledge that your Concharto display name (if you have one) may be displayed to other users when you post content. Any content that you submit to the Concharto site may be widely redistributed through the Internet and other media channels.

This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that Time Space Map does not own or control, or to individuals that Time Space Map does not employ or manage.

Website Visitors

Time Space Map collects non-personally-identifying information including 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. Time Space Map's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Concharto's visitors use its website. From time to time, Time Space Map may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Time Space Map's websites choose to interact with Time Space Map in ways that require Time Space Map to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Time Space Map gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we may ask customers who want save graphs or upload data to register with a username and email address on the Concharto website. Those who engage in transactions with Time Space Map are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Time Space Map collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the customer's interaction with Time Space Map. Time Space Map 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 activities.

In addition, we may combine non-personally-identifiable information with personally-identifiable information in a manner that enables us to attribute Time Space Map usage to an individual customer's computer or network. We do so, however, only for our own internal business purposes and will not share such combined data with third parties without your permission.

Aggregated Statistics

Time Space Map may collect statistics which may be comprised of aggregated personally-identifying information about the behavior of visitors to its websites and customers of its services. Time Space Map may display this statistical information publicly or provide it to others. However, Time Space Map does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Time Space Map discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Time Space Map's behalf or to provide services available at Time Space Map's websites and services, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Time Space Map's websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Time Space Map 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, Time Space Map discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, court order, or when Time Space Map believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Time Space Map, third parties or the public at large.

If you are a registered member of a Time Space Map website and have supplied your email address, Time Space Map may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what's going on with Time Space Map and our products.

If you are a registered member of a Time Space Map website and do not wish to receive such emails, please follow the instructions included in each email sent. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Time Space Map takes measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

The address of Time Space Map's Designated Agent to Receive Notification of Claimed Infringement ("Designated Agent") is listed at the end of this policy.

It is Time Space Map's policy, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, to (1) block access to or remove Content that it believes in good faith to be copyrighted material that has been illegally copied and distributed by any of our members or users; and (2) remove and discontinue service to repeat offenders.

A. Procedure for Reporting Copyright Infringements:

If you believe that Content residing on or accessible through the Time Space Map web site or service infringes a copyright, please send a notice of copyright infringement containing the following information to the Designated Agent listed below:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that has been allegedly infringed;
  2. Identification of works or materials being infringed;
  3. Identification of the Content that is claimed to be infringing including information regarding the location of the Content that the copyright owner seeks to have removed, with sufficient detail so that Time Space Map is capable of finding and verifying its existence;

  5. A statement that the notifier has a good faith belief that the Content is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and

  2. to notify the Content provider, member or user that it has removed or disabled access to the Content; and
  3. that repeat offenders will have the infringing Content removed from the system and that Time Space Map will terminate such content provider's, member's or user's access to the service.

Counter-Notice

If the Content provider, member or user believes that the Content that was removed or to which access was disabled is either not infringing, or the Content provider, member or user believes that it has the right to post and use such Content from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, the content provider, member or user must send a counter-notice containing the following information to the Designated Agent listed below:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the Content provider, member or user;
  2. Identification of the Content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the Content appeared before it was removed or disabled;

  4. Content provider's, member's or user's name, address, telephone number, and, if available, e-mail address and a statement that such person or entity consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which the content provider's, member's or user's address is located, or if the Content provider's, member's or user's address is located outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Time Space Map is located, and that such person or entity will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

If a counter-notice is received by the Designated Agent, Time Space Map's may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed Content or cease disabling it in 10 business days.
