WHAT PERSONAL DATA DO WE COLLECT?

We may also collect your Personal Data from third parties. Some information that we may collect include information on if you log into the platform from a third-party platform (e.g. you access our Services using your Apple or Google account), or Personal Data you give to our service providers so that we can perform the Services you request. Information collected by third party devices or on other sites and services is subject to the privacy policy and practices of the third party providing such site or services and not subject to this Privacy Notice. Please consult the privacy policies of any third party with which you share information in this manner to learn about the third party’s data practices.

Additionally, during your access and usage of the Apps, we may collect Personal Data from you. This 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, information about how and when you use our Services and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Services, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.

Personal details including about your nationality or physical or mental health may be considered “sensitive” personal data under applicable Data Privacy Law. We will not process any such data unless you have given your explicit consent, or it is necessary (for instance if you request special assistance), or otherwise in compliance with applicable Data Privacy Law.

HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

In Short: We process your Personal Data for purposes based on your request, to run the Apps and provide our Services, and to achieve certain essential operations.

We use personal information for a variety of business purposes. These purposes may include establishing and maintaining communications with you on various topics, providing you with Services you request, processing and servicing transactions with you, and operating and improving our business and operations. We may also use information we collect for necessary or essential purposes including complying with applicable law and legal processes, detecting and investigating security events, facilitating functionality to our Apps, enforcing the terms of any promotion or giveaway that we run, protecting our rights, and pursuing available remedies for damages we obtain.

With your consent, or as otherwise permitted by applicable Data Privacy Law, we will use your Personal Data to provide information that we believe is of interest to you, before, during, and after your interactions with us. You can opt-out at any time after you have given your consent to such communications by contacting us at info@joincarousel.io. If you consent, in providing tailored promotional materials to you, we may use the personal information collected through your use of the Apps, such as the user preferences you set and profile data you submit.

We may also use your Personal Data in other ways, and where we do so, we will provide specific notice at the time of collection and obtain your consent unless otherwise permitted by applicable Data Privacy Law.

We will only process your personal data where we have a legal basis to do so, which will depend on the reasons for which we have collected and need to use your Personal Data.

WHO DO WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION WITH?

In Short: We share your information with your consent, to comply with laws, or to provide you with the Services.

We share your information with our personnel, within our company, and to third parties to provide you with the Services and in a manner consistent with this Privacy Notice. This includes other companies and members of the Company, other companies, contractors, or agents that assist us in providing Services, government authorities, law enforcement bodies, and regulators for compliance with legal requirements, or where otherwise required by applicable Data Privacy Law, and other legal and professional advisers in order to enforce our rights in relation to our relationship with you. We will not share your Personal Data with any other third parties without your consent.

As applicable, we will limit sharing of your information in accordance with the choices you have provided us.

We may use and store your Personal Data in an aggregated and anonymized form so that it is not associated with individuals and does not include personal information. We may use or share information in an anonymized and aggregated manner for many purposes such as research, analysis, modeling, marketing, and advertising, as well as improving our Apps and Services.

If you consent, we may also share your personal information with our partners and other third parties so that they can notify you about products, services, and promotions that might be of interest to you.

We may also transfer your Personal Data to potential buyers in the event that we sell or transfer all or a part of our business or assets (including in the event of a reorganization or dissolution/liquidation), under strict non-disclosure restrictions, and solely in order to allow a buyer to determine whether to proceed with the transaction or where such a determination is made, to complete it. In the case that your Personal Data is sold or transferred pursuant to this section, we will ensure that the recipient of your Personal Data will follow the same privacy practices set forth in this Privacy Notice.

If we share your Personal Data for any reasons not described in this Privacy Notice, we will inform you before sharing your Personal Data. Except as provided in this Privacy Notice, we will not sell, share, or otherwise transfer your Personal Data to third parties.

IS YOUR PERSONAL DATA TRANSFERRED INTERNATIONALLY?

In Short: We will transfer, store, and process your information in countries other than your own if you live outside of the United States. You should not access our Apps if you do not agree to the transfer of your data to the United States.

Our servers are located in the United States. If you are accessing our Services from outside the United States, please be aware that your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed by us in our facilities and by those third parties with whom we may share your personal information (see "WHO DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITH?" above) in the United States.

If you are a resident of another country, then we may not have data protection or other laws as comprehensive as those in your country. However, we will take measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Notice and applicable law. You may also have additional terms that apply to you and that can be found at the end of this Privacy Notice.

If you do not wish to be subject to this Privacy Notice, or you do consent to our treatment of your information under applicable law, you should not use the Sites or our Services.

DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGY?

In Short: Yes, we may use cookies and similar technology to collect information about you and provide the Services to you. However, you may opt-out of non-necessary cookies on our Apps.

When you visit the Apps, open up electronic communication from us, or interact with us on social media platforms (e.g. Facebook), we may also automatically collect information about you by automated means. In some instances, we may also allow third parties to collect information about you through automated means. Some of these technologies include:

Cookies: Cookies are small text files that websites send to internet-connected devices to make your user experience more efficient. Some cookies may exist for a single session and some are persistent for multiple sessions. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of these Apps and some are optional. We may use cookies that are managed by third parties for the purposes explained in this Privacy Notice.
Web server logs: Our web servers may collect information on the usage details of your device, including your IP address, operating system, and Apps usage.
Web beacons, pixels, software: We may place items on our Apps or in our electronic communications called “web beacons” or “pixels”. These items help link web pages to particular web servers and their cookies to help us understand our Apps’ traffic. These items may be used to track the pages you view, links that you click, time spent on a page, and other online behavior.
Other: We may use other technology to collect information for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice. These technologies may permit collection of data elements such as browser type, operating system type, IP address, activities conducted on our Apps, and the time and day of your visit. If you visit our website from a mobile device, we collect mobile device information such as data previously mentioned and your location information.

Most web browsers offer settings that allow you to disable or delete cookies. However, if you restrict, disable, or delete cookies, you may not be able to fully use our Apps. If you make this change after you have visited our Apps, you may have to manually delete existing cookies from your electronic device.

Our Apps may also contain embedded plug-ins, widgets, pixels, or other programming associated with third parties, including external social media platforms. When you encounter these embedded objects, your web browser may establish a direct connection to the third-party services, and in doing so, share information such as your behavior while browsing our Apps, your public profile, and content you have shared.

We do not currently respond to Do Not Track browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Notice.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

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

We will only keep your Personal Data for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Data, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA SAFE?

In Short: We aim to protect your Personal Data through a system of organizational, physical, and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate organizational, physical, and technical organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, the transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Sites and the Services within a secure environment.

DO WE COLLECT PERSONAL DATA FROM CHILDREN?

In Short: We may collect data from children, provided that we have obtained verifiable consent from a legal parent or guardian.

We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children without verifiable parental consent. We consider you to be a child if you are not of the legal age to consent to the collection and processing of Personal Data under applicable laws where you live (a “Child”). If you are a Child, we must get verifiable parental consent before using any of our Apps. Our Children’s Privacy Notice can be found here and governs our collection and use of a Child’s Personal Data.

If we learn that we have collected Personal Data from a child without parental consent, we will take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records and prohibit any user from using our Services or immediately seek parental consent for the collection. If you become aware of any data we have collected from children, please contact us at info@joincarousel.io.

In Short: You may reject or remove cookies and other tracking technology, as your browsers permits. Also, to the extent you have subscribed to marketing and promotional communications, you may unsubscribe at any time.

Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser settings. You may also reject any non-necessary cookies by using our cookie tool, available when you first access the Apps. Your browser may also allow you to clear your browser web storage.

To the extent that you have subscribed to any marketing and promotional communication, you may unsubscribe at any time from our marketing and promotional communications by following the “Unsubscribe” link in the communication.
