Privacy Policy
Common Language Summary
At BoxLock we take security very seriously, including information security and our customers' privacy. Using your BoxLock does not expose any personally identifiable information to BoxLock or our partners, other than what's needed for us to ensure your BoxLock works. We collect and store your name, email, delivery address and functional details about the shipments you received, such as sender, size, weight, and tracking number.
When you choose to setup BoxLock’s Effortless Tracking feature, we use the shipment notifications coming to your email account from the 4 major US shipping carriers (USPS, Fedex, UPS, Amazon) to understand which tracking numbers should be allowed to open your lock. In order to do this, we ask that you grant the BoxLock System access to your email. You have several options to grant this access, including Google OAuth, IMAP server connection or use of an email forwarder. If you connect your email account, the BoxLock Services will automatically access and analyze the contents of emails in your email account on an ongoing basis for the purpose of identifying emails from shipping companies that may contain package tracking information. Once identified, the tracking information is then extracted from your emails into your BoxLock Services account so that you and your BoxLock device may access this information to determine if a package scan is valid.
BoxLock’s system only parses emails from known shipping carriers and only collects information about these packages for the purpose of ensuring your BoxLock works as designed. No other data is stored in our systems. Only the BoxLock System has access to your inbox through a strict ruleset - no human has the ability to see anything other than the package data returned by the system.
BoxLock has no interest in any other information in your inbox. BoxLock does not know anything about the contents of the shipments that are delivered to you. BoxLock can be used without Effortless Tracking by manually adding tracking numbers through the app.

Links to Other Web Sites; Third Party Applications
We are not responsible for any practices employed by websites linked to or from our website, nor their information or content. Please remember that when you use a link to go from our website to another website, this privacy policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other website is subject to that website’s own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding. Additionally, some content or applications, including advertisements, on or through the website are served by third-parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, content providers and application providers. These third parties may use cookies, alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies, to collect information about you when you use our Services. The information they collect may be associated with your personal information or they may collect information, including personal information, about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services. They may use this information to provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content. We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly.
Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, we use commercially reasonable means designed to protect your information both online and offline.
Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the Web page.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
The safety and security of your personal information, however, also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our website or services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. Unfortunately, the storage and transmission of information over the internet is never completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to or through our website or services. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on or within the website or our services.
If you feel you have discovered a potential issue with BoxLock’s security, we would like to hear about it. Please see our Vulnerability Disclosure Program for details.
Children’s Privacy
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act was created to protect children under the age of 13 from unsuspecting acts or practices in conjunction with collecting, using, and disclosing any information about them. Our website and services are not intended for anyone under the age of 13. If you are under 13, do not use or provide any information on or through our website. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information.

We will never knowingly accept, collect, maintain or use any information from a child under the age of 13.
