Territoriality

Regardless of where our servers are located, your personal data may be processed by us in the United States, where data protection and privacy regulations may or may not be to the same level of protection as in other parts of the world. BY VISITING THE SITE AND USING THE SERVICE, YOU UNEQUIVOCALLY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY CONSENT TO THE COLLECTION AND PROCESSING IN THE UNITED STATES OF ANY INFORMATION COLLECTED OR OBTAINED BY US THROUGH VOLUNTARY SUBMISSIONS, AND, TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, THAT U.S. LAW GOVERNS ANY SUCH COLLECTION AND PROCESSING.

This Privacy Policy may be subject to the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("EU GDPR"), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK-GDPR”, and together with the EU GDPR, the “GDPR”), and other applicable privacy laws. Under the GDPR, we are a data “Controller”. If you are an individual who resides in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, or Switzerland (collectively, and for the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the “EEA”), you are a “Data Subject” with certain protected privacy rights concerning your “Personal Data.”  We will take commercially reasonable steps to maintain compliance with GDPR. Your Personal Data, combined with any other information that may identify you as a person, may be referred to in this Privacy Policy as Personally Identifiable Information (collectively, "PII")

  1. Who Collects Your Information On Our Service?

We do. Under the GDPR, we are what is known as a “Controller” of the Personal Data that you provide us with.  We collect information from you on the Service, and we are responsible for protection of your information.

  1. What Information Do We Collect?
  2. Personal Information. We collect certain PII from you when you sign-up for the Service, when you complete a survey, when you create or update an account, when you use the Service, when you request services, when you link your account on the Service to your social media account(s) via our optional integration, or otherwise when you submit such information. The types of PII we collect and save include:

You may provide us with information when you interact with us through email, read an email from us, online chat, messaging functions within the Service, or otherwise. We may retain such information in order to provide you with services, and you agree that we may share this information as needed with other users in order to resolve any issues that may arise between you and another user of the Service.

The Service may be integrated with third party social media platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram (“Platforms”). If you choose to interact with the Platforms through the Service, the Platforms may make additional PII about you available to us. The Service may use your mobile data plan in order to use certain features of the Service, such as communication with other users through the Service.

  1. Non-Personal Information. “Non-Personal Information” is information which doesn’t identify you and/or anonymous information about you, including but not limited to links and materials posted, purchase history, the type of device you used and its operating system, browser information, the pages accessed most frequently, how pages are used, when and how you use the Service, search terms entered, and similar Non-Personal Information.

Automatically tracking Internet Protocol (IP) addresses is one method of automatically collecting information about your activities online and information volunteered by you. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your device whenever you surf the internet. Further, the Service may utilize web beacons, pixel tags, cookies, embedded links, and other commonly used information-gathering tools. Through collecting your IP address, we may be able to approximate your geographic location, however, unless and until this is information is paired with your PII, it cannot be used to identify you.  If Non-Personal Information is paired to any of your PII, we will treat the Non-Personal Information as if it was PII too.

  1. Aggregate Information. We may also collect anonymous, non-identifying, and aggregate information, such as the date and time of any request, language preference, referring website, the pages you visit within our Site, the website you go to after visiting our Site, and the domain name of your Internet service provider.
  2. Financial Information. Although it may appear that we collect financial information from you on the Service, it is actually collected and processed through a third-party service provider (“Payment Processor”) to process payments for the Service. The Payment Processor may collect financial information such as banking information or credit card number, name, CVV code or date of expiration, from you on the Service. We do not hold your financial information.
  3. Why Is My Information Being Collected?

We accept and gather information in an effort to provide the Service to you.  We need to collect your PII so that we can respond to your requests for information or to be added to our email lists, to integrate with the Platforms, to process your payment for the Service and, to train, develop, and improve the artificial intelligence and/or machine learning models and algorithms that we develop and train (“Models”), if applicable. We may also collect aggregate information, to help us better design the Service, and log information, for monitoring purposes to help us to diagnose problems with our servers, administer the Service, calculate usage levels, and otherwise provide services to you.
