Privacy Policy

LightJar is a private, secure storage service for media recordings. We do not view or share Subscriber Content; however we will share information listed below in order to deliver LightJar to subscribers for the subscribers’ benefit. We collect and use the following information to provide, improve and protect our LightJar Services:

  • Account. We collect, and associate with the subscriber’s account, information like name, email address, phone number, payment info, and physical address.
  • LightJar Services. When using LightJar, we store, process and transmit media and other type files and the information related to them.
  • Usage. We collect information from and about the devices used to access the LightJar Services. This includes things like IP addresses, the type of browser and device, the web page visited before coming to our site, and identifiers associated with subscriber or viewer’s devices.  The devices’ browsers may also transmit location information to the LightJar Services.
  • Cookies and other technologies. We use technologies like cookies to provide, improve, protect and promote our LightJar Services.  Subscribers and visitors can set their browser to not accept cookies, but this may limit the subscribers’ ability to use the LightJar Services.
  • We may share information to those entities listed below, but we won’t sell it to advertisers or other third-parties.
  • Others working for LightJar. LightJar uses certain trusted third parties to help us provide, improve, protect, and promote our Services. These third parties will access subscribers’ information only to perform tasks on our behalf and in compliance with this Privacy Policy.
  • Law & Order. We may disclose your information to third parties if we determine that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with the law; (b) protect any person from death or serious bodily injury; (c) prevent fraud or abuse of LightJar or our users; or (d) protect LightJar’s property rights.
  • Protection of subscriber data is critical to us and a responsibility that we embrace.  We’ll abide by the following Government Request Principles when receiving, scrutinizing and responding to government requests for our users’ data:
    • Be transparent,
    • Fight blanket requests,
    • Protect all users, and
    • Provide trusted services.
  • Security. We regularly review our web applications and supporting systems for maintaining best practices for information security and content encryption.

If an account is deleted, we’ll also delete the information associated with the deleted account.  But please note: (1) there might be some latency in deleting this information from our servers and back-up storage; and (2) we may retain this information if necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.
  • Around the world. To provide the LightJar Services, we may store, process and transmit information in locations around the world – including those outside subscriber’s home country. Information may also be stored locally on the devices a subscriber may use to access the LightJar Services.
  • Changes – If we become involved in a reorganization, merger, acquisition or sale of our assets, subscribers’ information may be transferred as part of that deal. We will notify our subscribers (for example, via a message to the email address associated with your account) of any such deal and outline subscribers’ choices in that event.
  • We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time, and will post the most current version on our website. If a revision meaningfully reduces your rights, we will notify you.

There is an exception as to when we will share a subscriber’s content; and that is when we are ordered by United States’ courts to do so.   For example, if a subscriber becomes deceased, we can receive US court paperwork from immediate family members and/or the deceased’s legal representatives to provide access to content from a deceased user’s account. In all of these cases, our primary responsibility is to keep our users’ information secure, safe, and private. Note that LightJar is not able to provide passwords or other mechanisms that would enable anyone to log in to a user’s account.

Free Trials, Subscription Plans, Termination and Cancellation

LightJar offers a free one (1) month trial of its 10GB Active Plan.  A credit card is required to sign up for the service, but the subscriber may cancel the service before the end of the first month to avoid any charges to their credit card.  The subscriber may increase the size of their storage account at any time.  With the exception of the 10GB Active Plan, all other subscription plans begin billing immediately, and your credit card will be charged the appropriate rate for the plan, dependent on the amount of storage (GB) and billing cycle (monthly or annually).  LightJar will continue to bill your charge card, at a monthly or annual frequency, until you choose to cancel the LightJar Service.  You’re responsible for all applicable taxes, and we’ll charge tax when required to do so.

No Refunds. You may cancel your LightJar subscription at any time but you won’t be issued a refund for the remaining days in your monthly or annual subscription plan.

Downgrades. You are able to reduce the size and/or downgrade the type plan you have at any time, and the entered change goes in effect at the end of the current billing cycle.

Changes. We may change the fees in effect but will give you advance notice of these changes via a message to the email address associated with your account.

Termination. You’re free to stop using our LightJar Services at any time. We also reserve the right to suspend or end LightJar at any time at our discretion and without notice if you do not abide by these Terms. For example, we may suspend or terminate your use of the LightJar Services if you’re not complying with these Terms, or use the Services in a manner that would cause us legal liability, disrupt the Services or disrupt others’ use of the Services.

Cancellation. When you cancel your LightJar subscription, we stop future collection of subscription fees from the credit card on file, and close down (delete) your account 7 days after cancellation if on a monthly billing plan, and 97 days after cancellation if on an annual billing plan. The time between cancellation and account shutdown provides subscribers time to download copies of files in their LightJar account, as well as, permanently delete them within LightJar.

  • After cancellation, if you are on a monthly billing plan, you will have access to your account and its contents for an additional 7 days in case you decide to renew the service.  After 7 days and no renewal, all of your media will be permanently deleted.
  • After cancellation, if you are on an plan that is billed annually, you will have access to your account and its contents for an additional 97 days in case you decide to renew the service.  After 97 days and no renewal, all of your media will be permanently deleted.

Auto-renewal.  Monthly and annual subscriptions renew automatically, unless you choose to cancel your service.  For annual plans, LightJar supplies a three (3) day advance notice that your LightJar subscription is about to be renewed, and that your charge card on file will be charged on the subscription’s anniversary.

  • For monthly plans, if the charge card is invalid or expired, and we are unable to collect a subscription fee on the renewal date for the monthly plan, the subscriber is given a 7 day grace period to update their charge card information.   During the grace period, the subscriber is reminded that their credit card information needs to be updated; this is done via pop-up messages shown when the subscriber is logged into LightJar.  If the credit card information on file remains invalid at the conclusion of the grace period, the LightJar account in question is suspended, and content is permanently deleted shortly thereafter.
  • For annual plans, if the charge card is invalid or expired, and we are unable to collect a subscription fee on the renewal date for the annual plan, the subscriber is given a 97 day grace period to update their charge card information.   During the grace period, the subscriber is reminded that their credit card information needs to be updated; this is done via pop-up messages shown when the subscriber is logged into LightJar.  If the credit card information on file remains invalid at the conclusion of the grace period, the LightJar account in question is suspended, and content is permanently deleted shortly thereafter.

Deleting Content

When you delete media files from your LightJar account, the deleted files are placed in your DELETED bucket for 30 days before permanent deletion.  You have access to the DELETED bucket at all times, showing all the deleted items, and you may choose to restore files or permanently delete them as needed.  Please note that the GBs in the DELETED bucket count towards the subscription plan’s quota.

Resolving Disputes

We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against the Company, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting support@LightJar.com. We’ll try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you via email. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days of submission, you or the Company may bring a formal proceeding.

We Both Agree To Arbitrate. You and the Company agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms or the LightJar Services through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below.

Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate. You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by clicking here and submitting the opt-out form within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.

Arbitration Procedures. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in St. Louis, County Missouri, or any other location we agree to.

Arbitration Fees. Each party to the arbitration shall bear its own costs and expenses (including all attorneys’ fees and expenses, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law) and all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding (such as filing fees, the arbitrator’s fees, hearing expenses, etc.) shall be borne equally by the parties hereto.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. Either you or the Company may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in St. Louis County, Missouri. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.

No Class Actions. You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations aren’t allowed.

Judicial forum for disputes. In the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and LightJar agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of St. Louis County, Missouri. Both you and the Company consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there.

 

Controlling Law

All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Missouri, without giving effect to any choice-of-law or conflict-of-law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Missouri or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Missouri.

 

Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the subject matter of these Terms, and supersede and replace any other prior or contemporaneous agreements, or terms and conditions applicable to the subject matter of these Terms. These Terms create no third party beneficiary rights.

 

Waiver, Severability & Assignment

The Company’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Terms will remain in full effect and an enforceable term will be substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible. You may not assign any of your rights under these Terms, and any such attempt will be void. LightJar may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with the Services.

 

Modifications

We may revise these Terms from time to time, and will always post the most current version on our website. If a revision meaningfully reduces your rights, we will notify you (by, for example, sending a message to the email address associated with your account, posting on our blog or on this page). By continuing to use or access LightJar after the revisions come into effect, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms.
