### Introduction
Our Privacy Policy sets out how your personal information is collected and used while you use the Site. We believe your personal information belongs to you, so we are very open about how we use it. The Privacy Policy is meant to be read together with the Terms, so words that are capitalized have the same meaning in the Privacy Policy as they do in the Terms.
​
If you have a question about the Privacy Policy, email terms@bigchaindb.com and we will try to answer it for you.
​
### Our policies
We collect and use information in accordance with the German Telemedia Act (Telemediengesetz) and (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz), or with your specific and express consent.
​
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18 without consent from a parent or guardian. If we learn a child has provided personal information, we may delete it.
​
We respect the Do Not Track header.
​
### What information we collect and how we use it
When you visit the Site, we may log some of the information about your visit (such as your IP address, browser version, and so on) so we can improve the site and keep it secure.
​
If you want to contribute to the project, you must complete our [Contributor License Agreement](https://www.bigchaindb.com/cla) (CLA). We will store your completed CLA, including the personal information you include on it. We may use that personal information to contact you or to enforce the terms of the CLA.
​
If you use the contact forms or CLA form on our website, the information you submit is collected by [Formspree.io](https://formspree.io/) and is subject to its terms and privacy policy. Note that Formspree.io only saves the most recent 100 messages. After that, messages are deleted. Formspree.io sends emails to us through Sendgrid.com in accordance with the [Sendgrid.com privacy policy](https://sendgrid.com/privacy).
​
If you want to sign the CLA form or contact us without using these forms, you can email contact@bigchaindb.com.
​
### How information is shared
Identifiable personal information will not be shared. It will never be given or sold to advertisers.
We will not share or sell the identifiable personal information we collect or generate.
​
We may share non-personal or aggregate information, such as usage statistics for the Site.
​
