1. What Information Do We Collect?
a. Personally-Identifiable Information: We may collect personally identifiable information when you specifically and knowingly provide it to us, for example when you request support, register an account, or provide personal information such as your e-mail address, name, phone number, year of birth, or other information. Where applicable, personally identifiable information includes “personal data” as defined in applicable law, “personal information” and/or “sensitive personal information” each as defined in applicable law. Personally identifiable information that relates to your past, present, or future physical or mental health or condition is considered “protected health information” or “PHI”(With respect to PHI, and where appropriate, we shall comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH”)).We ask that you not disclose to us any sensitive personal data (e.g., social security numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal background or trade union membership) on or through Services or otherwise. If you do send or disclose any sensitive personal data to us, you consent to our processing and use of such sensitive personal data in accordance with this policy.
We employ administrative, physical, and technical measures designed to protect personally identifiable information under our control from unauthorized access, use, and disclosure. We provide some aspects of our Services through contracts with third parties such as cloud hosting, management consultants, quality assurance systems, analytics providers, and billing and collection services. We may share your personally identifiable information with such third party service providers so that they can perform the jobs that we have asked them to perform. We require all of our third party service providers to sign written agreements requiring that they appropriately safeguard your personally identifiable information and use it only as we direct. When you provide or update your payment information, we transmit it via an encrypted connection to Stripe, a TPS. Stripe uses and processes your payment information in accordance with Stripe’s Privacy Policy. We don’t store your payment information, other than your zip code and country, which we require for billing and to comply with tax and other government regulations.
This privacy policy does not apply to the privacy practices of third parties that we do not own or control, including but not limited to any third party websites, services, applications, online resources to which the Service may link or otherwise reference (collectively “Third Party Services” or “TPS”) that you may access through the Services. We take no responsibility for the content or privacy practices of any TPS. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of any TPS you access.
You may have the option to register using a TPS or connect your account to a TPS such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or YouTube. By authorizing us to access your TPS account, you understand that we may obtain certain information from your TPS account, you authorize us to obtain certain information from your TPS account, which may including your name, email address, birthday, work history, education history, current city, shared media, and the names, profile pictures, relationship status, and current cities of your TPS contacts. We only obtain information from your TPS account that you specifically authorize and grant us permission to obtain.
Company does not consider personally identifiable information to include information that has been anonymized so that it does not reasonably allow a third party to easily identify a specific individual or household. We collect and use your personally-identifiable information to: provide the Services; operate and improve our Service; provide customer service; perform research and analysis aimed at improving our products, Service and technology; and display content that is customized to your interests and preferences.

This consent provides us with the legal basis we require under applicable law to process your data. You maintain the right to withdraw such consent at any time. If you do not agree to our use of your personal data in line with this privacy policy, please do not use our Services.

Non-Personally-Identifiable Information: We may collect and aggregate non-personally identifiable information which is information which does not permit you to be identified or identifiable either by itself or in combination with other information available to a third party. This information may include information, such as a website that referred you to us, your IP address, log data, browser type and language, hardware types, geographic location, and access times and durations. We also may collect navigational information, including information about the Service content or pages you view, the links you click, and other actions taken in connection with the Service.
