Respect for your privacy is coded into our DNA. Since we started ThankGod, we've aspired to build our Services with a set of strong privacy principles in mind. ThankGod provides a way to express your gratitude and other services to users around the world. Our Privacy Policy helps explain our information (including message) practices. For example, we talk about what information we collect and how this affects you. We also explain the steps we take to protect your privacy - like building ThankGod so delivered messages aren't stored and giving you control over who you communicate with on our Services. When we say "ThankGod," "our," "we," or "us", we're talking about ThankGod Inc. This Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") applies to all of our apps, services, features, software, and website (together, "Services") unless specified otherwise. Please also read Zinbuck's Terms of Service ("Terms"), which describes the terms under which you use our Services.
