California Residents: your
California privacy rights
1. Information we
collect and how we use it
We may collect
and store information about you when you use the Service. We use the
information to fulfill your requests, provide the ServiceÕs functionality,
improve the ServiceÕs quality, personalize your experience, track usage of the
Service, provide feedback to third party businesses (who do not pay for
advertisement), display relevant information of businesses or products that
other users recommend, market the Service, provide customer support, message
you, back up our systems and allow for disaster recovery, enhance the security
of the Service, and comply with legal obligations.
Among the
information we collect, please note:
a.
Account
Information: If you create an account on Crowdsorz, we may
store and use your full name, email address, zip code, and other information
you may provide with your account, such as your gender, birth date, household
information and preferences that may be helpful to provide you a better Service
experience. Your username, as well as any photo you submit through the
registration process, will be publicly displayed as part of your account
profile. If you believe that someone has created an unauthorized account
depicting you or your likeness, you can request its removal at support@crowdsorz.com
b.
Public Content: The information that you contribute through the Service is intended
for public consumption, including your recommendations, tips, photos, videos,
comments, likes, posts, events, bookmarks, friends, lists, compliments, and
account profile. Since public content is intended to be public, we may display it
through the Service, share it with third party businesses, and further
distribute it to a wider audience through third party sites and services. Note
that other users may also have access to your public content.
c.
Contacts: If you like Crowdsorz you will have opportunity to invite your
friends to join the Service by providing us with their contact information, or
by allowing us to access your contacts from your computer, mobile device, or
third party sites to select which friends you want to invite. If you allow us
to access your contacts, we may transmit that information to Crowdsorz long
enough to process your invitations.
d.
Communications: When you sign up for an account or use certain features, you are
opting to receive messages, posts or prompts
(ÒmessagesÓ) from other Crowdsorz
users, and Crowdsorz itself. You can manage some of your messaging preferences,
but note that you cannot opt out of receiving certain administrative,
transactional, or legal messages from Crowdsorz. We may also track your actions
in response to the messages you receive from Crowdsorz or through the Service,
such as whether you deleted, opened, or forwarded such messages. If you
exchange messages or with others through the Service, we may store them in
order to process and deliver them, allow you to manage them, and we may review
and disclose them in connection with investigations related to the operation
and use of the Service. We may not deliver messages that we believe are
objectionable, such as spam messages or requests to exchange reviews for compensation.
We may also store information that you provide through messages to us,
including from phone calls, letters, emails and other electronic messages, or
in person.
e.
Activity: We may store information about your use of the Service, such as your
search activity, the businesses or services that you recommend, the pages you
view, and the date and time of your visit. We also may store information that
your computer or mobile device provides to us in connection with your use of
the Service, such as your browser type, type of computer or mobile device,
browser language, IP address, mobile carrier, phone number, unique device
identifier, advertising identifier, location (including geolocation, beacon
based location, and GPS location), and requested and referring URLs. You may be
able to disallow our use of certain location data through your device or
browser settings, for example by disabling ÒLocation ServicesÓ for the Crowdsorz
application in iOS privacy settings.
2. Cookies
We, and third
parties with whom we partner, may use cookies, web beacons, tags, scripts,
local shared objects such as HTML5 and Flash (sometimes called "flash
cookies"), advertising identifiers (including mobile identifiers such as
AppleÕs IDFA or GoogleÕs Advertising ID) and similar technology ("Cookies") in connection with your use of the
Service, third party websites, and mobile applications. Cookies may have unique
identifiers, and reside, among other places, on your computer or mobile device,
in emails we send to you, and on our web pages. Cookies may transmit
information about you and your use of the Service, such as your browser type,
search preferences, IP address, data relating to advertisements that have been
displayed to you or that you have clicked on, and the date and time of your
use. Cookies may be persistent or stored only during an individual session.
Crowdsorz will
not use cookies for paid-advertisement in the platform. However, we may use
cookies for other relevant purposes for the Services, such as:
a. Processes. Intended to make the Service work in the way you expect. For example, we
use a Cookie that tells us whether you have already signed up for an account.
b. Authentication,
Security, and Compliance. Intended to prevent fraud,
protect your data from unauthorized parties, and comply with legal
requirements. For example, we use Cookies to determine if you are logged in.
c. Preferences. Intended to remember information about how you prefer the Service to
behave and look. For example, we may use a Cookie that tells us whether you
have declined to allow us to use your phoneÕs geolocation data.
d. Notifications. Intended to allow or prevent notices of information or options that we
think could improve your use of the Service. For example, we use a Cookie that
stops us from showing you the signup notification if you have already seen it.
e. Analytics. Intended to help us understand how visitors use the Service. For example,
we use a Cookie that tells us how our search suggestions correlate to your
interactions with the search page.
Managing Cookies: It may be
possible to disable some (but not all) Cookies through your device or browser
settings, but doing so may affect the functionality of the Service. The method
for disabling Cookies may vary by device and browser, but can usually be found
in preferences or security settings. For example, iOS and Android devices each
have settings which are designed to limit forms of ad tracking.
3. Third parties
Third parties
may receive information about you as follows:
a.
Business Partners: Our business partners do not pay us to show advertisement on the
Services that we make available to you. In other words, with Crowdsorz you will
never have to see paid advertising. However, we may share non-personally
identifiable information from or about you with third parties, such as location
data, recommendations, or a cryptographic hash of a common account identifier
(such as an email address). You may be able to limit our sharing of some of
this information through your mobile device settings, as described in Section 2
above. We may let our business partners to use Cookies through the Service to
collect the same type of information for the same purposes as Crowdsorz does
for itself. Third parties may be able to associate the information they collect
with other information they have about you from other sources. We do not
necessarily have access to or control over the Cookies they use.
b.
Service Providers: We may rely on third party providers to support or provide some of
the services that are available through the Service. We may also rely on third
party providers to perform certain services for us in connection with your use
of the Service, such as communications and hosting services, network security,
technical and customer support, tracking and reporting functions, quality
assurance testing, payment processing, our own marketing of the Service, and
other functions. We may share information from or about you with these third
party providers so that they can perform their services or complete your requests.
These third party providers may share information with us that they obtain from
or about you in connection with providing their services or completing your
requests. Third party providers may also share this information with their
subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control. Some of
our web pages utilize framing techniques to serve content to you from our third
party providers, while preserving the look and feel of the Service. In such
cases, please note that the information you provide is being provided to the
third party.
c.
Aggregate
Information: We may share user information in the aggregate
with third parties, such as advertisers and content distributors. For example,
we may disclose the number of users that have been exposed to, or clicked on, businesses
or services that are recommended through Crowdsorz.
d.
Business
Transfers: We may share information from or about you with
our parent companies, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under
common control, in which case we will require them to honor this Privacy
Policy. If another company acquires Crowdsorz or all or substantially all of
our assets, that company will possess the same information, and will assume the
rights and obligations with respect to that information as described in this
Privacy Policy.
e.
Investigations: We may investigate and disclose information from or about you if we
have a good faith belief that such investigation or disclosure (a) is
reasonably necessary to comply with legal process and law enforcement
instructions and orders, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, judicial
proceeding, or other legal process served on us; (b) is helpful to prevent,
investigate, or identify possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service; or
(c) protects our rights, reputation, property, or that of our users,
affiliates, or the public. If you flag or otherwise complain to Crowdsorz about
content through the Service, we may share the substance of your complaint with
the contributor of that content in order to provide an opportunity for the
contributor to respond.
f.
Links: The Service may contain links to unaffiliated third party business or
services, but never a paid-advertiser. Except as set forth herein, we do not
share your personal information with them, and are not responsible for their
privacy practices. We suggest you read the privacy policies on or applicable to
all such third party services.
g.
Third Party
Accounts: If you sign up for Crowdsorz using a third party
service like Facebook, or link your Crowdsorz account to your account with a
third party service like Facebook or Twitter, we may receive information about
you from such third party service.
4. Controlling your
personal data
Other users may
be able to identify you, or associate you with your account, if you include
personal information in the content you post publicly. You can reduce the risk
of being personally identified by using the Service pseudonymously, though
doing so could detract from the credibility of your contributions to the
Service.
5. Data retention
and account termination
You can close
your account by sending us an email to support@crowdsorz.com We will remove your public posts from view and/or dissociate them from
your account profile, but we may retain information about you for the purposes
authorized under this Privacy Policy unless prohibited by law. For example, we
may retain information to prevent, investigate, or identify possible wrongdoing
in connection with the Service or to comply with legal obligations. Please note
that businesses cannot remove their business listings, ratings, or reviews by
closing their accounts.
6. Minors
Although we
strive to make our Service useful and safe to general audiences, it is not
intended to be used by minors (under the age of 18) at this point in time. We
do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you become aware
that a minor has provided us with personal information without parental
consent, please contact us to support@crowdsorz.com If we become aware that a
minor has provided us with personal information without parental consent, we
take steps to remove such information and terminate the child's account.
7. Security
We follow
generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information
submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no
method of transmission over the Internet or via mobile device, or method of
electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use
commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot
guarantee its absolute security.
8. Contact
information
If you believe
that Crowdsorz has not adhered to this Privacy Policy, you may contact us by
sending an email to support@crowdsorz.com
9. Modifications to
this privacy policy
We may revise
this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most current version of the Privacy
Policy will govern our collection, use, and disclosure of information about you
and will be available at support@crowdsorz.com. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by
email or by posting a notice on the Service prior to the effective date of the
changes. By continuing to access or use the Service after those changes become
effective, you agree to the revised Privacy Policy.
