Your Information.

For purposes of this Privacy Policy and any agreement with True Preferences that incorporates them by reference, “Personal Data” is defined as personally identifying information, including but not limited to a username, account number, email address, IP information and any personally identifying information entered by a User on the Services including name, age, gender, address and payment information; in order to provide you with the Services you wish to obtain through True Preferences, we may also obtain uploaded, compressed and/or edited photographs as well as information related thereto such as the time and date the picture was taken, and the location thereof, and associate that data with your account.

“Special Categories of Personal Data” is defined as data revealing health, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, personal relationships or sexual orientation. We may ask you to submit information that falls into “Special Categories of Personal Data” in connection with allergies, height and weight, pulse rate, food preferences and eating habits. Also, in the event You ask us to analyze items while you are at a location such as a house of worship, a hospital, a campaign office or a picket line, You may be providing such information incidentally; You consent to our use, storage, retention and processing of data included in these Special Categories of Personal Data in the same way that We use, store, retain and process Your Personal Data, and agree that the term Personal Data as used herein includes Special Categories of Personal Data and Interactive Data, as defined below.

We may also collect “Interactive Data”, meaning browser type, Internet service provider, device type/model/manufacturer, operating system, date and time stamp, and a unique ID that allows us to identify Your browser, mobile device, pages you visit, cell service/wifi provider or Your account (including, for example, a persistent device identifier or an Ad ID), and other similar information; You consent to such collection so that we can perform Services to You in connection with an Order (which is a contract between You and Us) and/or so we can provide You with relevant and/or requested Provided Content, data, information and Services. To improve our Services and avoid errors, we may obtain certain analytical information including records of the user sign in process, as well as login and logoff times, object loss metrics, test processes, button and action data and related information; such data may be shared with Instabug and/or Amplitude so we can provide You with the Services you want to receive, error-free.

Your Information, including Personal Data, is collected, stored, processed, used and archived pursuant to this Privacy Policy.

In order to use True Preferences’ Services, You may from time to time provide personally identifying and other forms of information, including, but not limited to, Your name, age, gender, street address, email address, phone number, and other contact information. In addition, We and our third-party service providers may collect Your billing, shipping, and other information, and We may collect other supplemental information from third parties. You can always choose not to provide any information, but then You might not be able to take advantage of many of True Preferences’ products and Services. Like most standard website servers, We use log files to collect Internet Protocol ("IP") addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider ("ISP"), referring/exit pages, platform type, and date/time stamp. We may use the information to analyze site usage, administer the site, understand usage and navigation trends in the aggregate, and determine the relevance of content. IP addresses are also linked to personally identifiable information, to improve user's experience when using the Website. Although, We have no obligation to do so, We may also retain any email, letter, or other correspondence between You and True Preferences and any representative or agent thereof, to ensure quality control.

Information supplied by You to True Preferences may be used to serve You and to operate and maintain Our Services, and in performance of any contract You enter into with us including any order placed via the Sites. For example, We may use the information to respond to Your requests, to customize future use of the Website for You, to improve our Website, to make recommendations to You, to remind You of past orders, and to communicate with You. We may use Your email address or information without Your consent, for a range of purposes including managing, tracking, completing and confirming Your analysis, processing Your payment, marketing, quality of service and administrative purposes, and we reserve the right to share Your personally identifying information with any entity that You order products from via True Preferences, as well as our staff/employees/contractors/team and a currency/credit card processing company whose role is to bill users for purchases made via True Preferences. Those companies may or may not retain, share, store, or use personally identifiable information for secondary purposes. We reserve the right to partner with any third party to provide specific Services and process, store and organize Personal Data on our behalf.

We may use Your Personal Data in connection with information from You that is not Personal Data which we have collected in a manner such that the end-product does not personally identify You or any other user of the Service. We may make information that would otherwise be deemed Personal Data (e.g. the number of Users who have ordered from a particular partner, or who live in a particular zip code) non-personally identifiable by either combining it with information about other users (aggregating Your Personal Data with information about other users), or by removing characteristics (such as Your name or email address) that make the information personally identifiable. This process is known as de-personalizing or anonymizing Your information.

Through this Privacy Policy, You grant us a royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable and fully transferable right and license to use Your Personal Data in connection with the creation and development of analytical and statistical analysis tools relating to the use of the customer data we collect in providing the Service (the "Analytical Data"). We may share Your Personal Data with service providers that we engage for the purpose of processing information on our and Your behalf. For example, we may partner with other companies to process payments for the Service. Additionally, we may partner with other companies to process, analyze, and/or store data, including, but not limited to, Analytical Data. While providing services for us, these companies may access Your Personal Data. To the extent applicable, we require these entities to comply with this Privacy Policy and appropriate confidentiality and security measures. You expressly authorize and consent that we can make any commercial use of the Analytical Data, including without limitation, sharing the Analytical Data with third parties.

We do not knowingly solicit, collect or process information from children who (a) are residents or citizens of the European Union and under the age where consent of a parent or legal guardian is required for the processing of Personal Data of children including email addresses and IP addresses, as well as certain uses of cookies; or (b) users who are under the age of thirteen (13) and residents or citizens of any other country (an “Age-Barred Individual”).

In compliance with United States regulations regarding online privacy for children, True Preferences does not knowingly solicit or collect information from children under the age of thirteen (13) or any other Age-Barred Individual.

Age-Barred Individuals are not permitted to have an account, use any True Preferences website or app, or submit Content of any type to True Preferences. By using the Service and/or submitting an order, You thereby confirm that You are eighteen (18) years old or older, and not an Age-Barred Individual.

By providing Personal Data (including email and analysis address information) on or via one of Our forms, or on/through the True Preferences App, You consent to the collection, storage and processing of the data provided by You manually, as well as IP information which we may use for localization, corporate compliance, legal and auditing purposes, in connection with True Preferences’ business purposes, such as data analysis, audits, fraud prevention, developing new Services and/or features, enhancing and improving our Services, documenting usage, analyzing and researching user trends and researching/documenting the effectiveness of any promotional campaign; and to our sharing of that information with the entity You ordered from, as well as our dispatch and analysis personnel for purposes of analyzing Your order, processing payment for that order, following up with You regarding Your order and making recommendations for future orders. You expressly consent to the storage of Your Personal Data in the United States, Canada and other countries as Your Personal Data and other information may be stored and processed in any country where we have operations or where we engage service providers. We may transfer Personal Data that we maintain about You to recipients who are located, temporarily or permanently, in countries other than the country in which the Personal Data was originally collected. Those countries may have data protection rules that are different from those of Your country. However, we will take measures to ensure that any such transfers comply with applicable US data protection laws and that Your Personal Data remains protected to the standards described in this Privacy Policy. Your personal information may therefore be subject to privacy laws that are different from those in your country of residence. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies or security authorities in those other countries may be entitled to access Your Personal Data. We will share personal information if we have a good faith belief that (i) access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, such as a court order or subpoena, or a request by law enforcement or governmental authorities, (ii) such action is appropriate to enforce our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, including any investigation of potential violations thereof, (iii) such action is necessary to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues associated with the Service, or (iv) such action is appropriate to protect the rights, property or safety of True Preferences, its employees/contractors/officers/affiliates, users of the Service or others.

If You have any question about True Preferences’ security, You can send an email to support@truepreferences.me.

Although We intend to use reasonable security safeguards to protect the security of personal information, WE HAVE LIMITED CONTROL AND WE CANNOT PROVIDE OR GUARANTEE COMPLETE SECURITY OF ANY INFORMATION; THEREFORE, Your POSTING OR TRANSMITTING PERSONAL INFORMATION IS DONE AT YOUR SOLE RISK.

Cookies and Other Technologies

Parts of the Service may use “cookies” and other technologies such as pixel tags and web beacons. These technologies help us better understand user behavior, tell us which parts of our website people have visited, and facilitate and measure the effectiveness of advertisements and web searches. We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as non-personal information. However, to the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we also treat these identifiers as personal information.

“Cookies" are small bits of electronic information that a website sends to a visitor's browser and are stored on the visitor's hard drive. Like many websites, we employ cookies and other technologies in certain areas of the Service to allow us to provide information to make Your online experience more convenient. For example, when You return to the Service after logging in, cookies provide information to the Service so that the Service will remember who You are on subsequent visits, speeding up or enhancing Your experience of the Service by, for instance, tailoring content to You. True Preferences and our partners also use cookies and other technologies to remember personal information when You use our Service.

Some of our content is stored by and through Google Cloud servers, and we limit access to our control panel. We use Amplitude to understand how our Users use the True Preferences site and Services, Google Analytics for understanding how our Users find and use the Services, Makeomatic, Inc. and Bluestone Apps, LLC. for programming and Service maintenance, Apple Store and Google Play Store to enable downloads of our app, and other sub-processors who are listed here.

We may also collect information when you register for or create a True Preferences account, or connect your TP account with another account, by logging into an account that you already have with Facebook, or certain other third-party social networking site (collectively and individually, “SNS”) via our Service.

We may gather information regarding your contact lists and SNS information and profile.

You may be able to disable cookies on Your web browser through Your browser settings – please consult Your browser’s help menu for assistance. Please note that certain parts of the Service will not be available or usable if cookies are disabled. For example, Users may block Facebook cookies or login code but then would not be able to use Facebook to log in or use the Service; Users may manage and block Google cookies and ads via Google’s website, and may block Google cookies or login code but then would not be able to use Google to log in or use the Service.

In some of our email messages, we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the Service. When customers click one of these URLs, they pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page on our website. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If You prefer not to be tracked in this way, You should not click text or graphic links in the email messages.

A pixel tag or web beacon is an often-transparent graphic image, usually no larger than 1 pixel by 1 pixel, that is placed on a website or in an email that is used to monitor the behavior of the user visiting the website or sending the email. We may use web beacons and/or pixel tags for many purposes, including site usage analytics, advertising, user management, auditing and reporting, and content and advertising personalization.

ACCOUNT TERMINATION AND DELETION

If for any reason You terminate Your user account with us, we will destroy active records containing Your Personal Data as soon as reasonably possible. “Reasonably” here means no more than thirty business days from the termination of the account; however, we may have to retain some information for a longer period as legal records or for auditing purposes, as we need to retain data where we have a valid justification to hold on to it, such as to resolve disputes or comply with our legal obligations, or to so we know not to use it again pursuant to a User’s request.

If You are a resident or citizen of a country where the GDPR applies, and ask us to delete Your account, we will remove Your Personal Data from our Service, and then from our records in accordance with our data deletion cycle, except that we may retain Personal Data where we have a valid justification to hold on to it, such as to resolve disputes or comply with our legal obligations, or to so we know not to use it again pursuant to a User’s request.

If we terminate Your license to use the Service, we may retain enough information to prevent You from signing up for the Service in the future.
