We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the Services. This information does not reveal your specific identity but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, and other technical information used for security, operation, and internal analytics.

To enhance our ability to provide relevant marketing, offers, and services to you and update our records, we may obtain information about you from other sources, such as public databases, joint marketing partners, affiliate programs, data providers, social media platforms, and other third parties. This information may include mailing addresses, job titles, email addresses, phone numbers, intent data, IP addresses, and social media profiles.

If you interact with us on a social media platform using your social media account (e.g. Facebook or X), we may receive personal information such as your name, email address, and gender. Any personal information we collect from your social media account depends on that account's privacy settings; their own use of your information is not governed by this Privacy Notice.

2. How Do We Process Your Information?

In Short: We process your information to provide, improve, and administer our Services, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with law.

In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to process your information without your consent, including:

  • If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be obtained in a timely way
  • For investigations and fraud detection and prevention
  • For business transactions provided certain conditions are met
  • If it is contained in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to assess, process, or settle an insurance claim
  • For identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next of kin
  • If we have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be a victim of financial abuse
  • If it is reasonable to expect that collection and use with consent would compromise the availability or accuracy of the information, and the collection is reasonable for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the laws of Canada or a province
  • If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of the court relating to the production of records
  • If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business, or profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the information was produced

Our Services offer you the ability to register and log in using your third-party social media account details. The profile information we receive may vary depending on the provider, but will often include your name, email address, friends list, and profile picture, as well as other information you choose to make public. We will use the information we receive only for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice or otherwise made clear to you. We do not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your third-party social media provider.

7. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice unless otherwise required by law.

No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than twelve (12) months past the termination of the user's account. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise it, or, if that is not possible (e.g. backups), securely store and isolate it until deletion is possible.

8. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organisational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organisational security measures designed to protect any personal information we process. However, no electronic transmission or storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk; you should only access the Services within a secure environment.

9. Do We Collect Information From Minors?

In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age (or the equivalent age specified by law in your jurisdiction).

By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 (or the equivalent age in your jurisdiction) or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to their use of the Services. If we learn that personal information has been collected from anyone under 18, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete the data. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from a child, please contact us at s.o.curatedteam@gmail.com.

10. What Are Your Privacy Rights?

In Short: In some regions, such as Canada, you have rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information.

In some regions (like Canada), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws, which may include (i) requesting access and a copy of your personal information, (ii) requesting rectification or erasure, (iii) restricting processing, (iv) data portability where applicable, and (v) not being subject to automated decision-making. If a decision that produces legal or similarly significant effects is made solely by automated means, we will inform you, explain the main factors, and offer a simple way to request human review.

Withdrawing your consent. If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

Opting out of marketing and promotional communications. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us. You will then be removed from marketing lists, though we may still communicate with you for service-related messages.

Account Information

If you would like to review or change the information in your account or terminate your account, contact us using the contact information provided. Upon request, we will deactivate or delete your account and information from our active databases, though we may retain some information to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with investigations, enforce our legal terms, and/or comply with applicable legal requirements.

11. Controls for Do-Not-Track Features

Most web browsers and some mobile systems include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature you can activate to signal your privacy preference. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognising DNT signals has been finalised, so we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals. If a standard is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you in a revised version of this Privacy Notice.
