Privacy policy

OUR PROMISE TO YOU At Again, your privacy is a top priority. Your privacy is at the heart of how we design and develop the services and products you know and love, so that you can trust them fully and focus on making meaningful connections. We are keenly aware that you are placing your trust in us when you give us information about yourself, and we do not take that trust lightly. We do not compromise on your privacy. All of our products and services are designed with your privacy in mind. We strive to be transparent in how we handle your data. Since we use most of the online services you use, we know that a lack of information and overly complicated language are common problems in privacy policies. We take the opposite approach: we've written our privacy policy and related documents in plain language. We really want you to read our policies and understand our privacy practices! We work hard to protect your data. Privacy Policy Welcome to the Again Privacy Policy. Thank you for taking the time to read it. We understand that you trust us with your information and we intend to always maintain that trust. This starts with making sure you understand what information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used and your choices about your information. This Policy describes our privacy practices in simple terms, keeping legal and technical jargon to a minimum. This Privacy Policy is effective as of December 3, 2020. The previous version of this Privacy Policy, available here, will apply until that date. EFFECTIVE DATE: December 3, 2020 1. Who We Are If you live in the European Union, the company responsible for your information under this Privacy Policy (the Data Controller) is: Again 2. Where this Privacy Policy Applies This Privacy Policy applies to the websites, applications, events and other services operated by Again. For simplicity in this Privacy Policy, we will refer to all of these as our Services. For added clarity, we have added links to this Privacy Policy on all applicable services. Some services may require their own Privacy Policy. If a particular service has its own Privacy Policy, then that policy -- and not this Privacy Policy -- will apply. Information We Collect It goes without saying that we cannot help you develop meaningful connections without certain information about you, such as basic profile information and the types of people you would like to meet. We also collect information generated when you use our services, such as access logs, as well as information from third parties, such as when you access our services through a social media account. If you want additional information, we discuss it in more detail below. The Information You Give Us When you use our Services, you choose to give us certain information. This includes: When you create an account, you deliver to us at least your login credentials, as well as some basic information needed to operate the service. 4. How we use your information The primary reason we use your information is to provide and improve our services. In addition, we use your information to help us protect you and to provide you with advertisements that may be of interest to you. Please read on for a detailed explanation of the various reasons we use your information, as well as some concrete examples. To administer your account and provide you with our services To create and manage your account To provide you with customer support and respond to your requests To complete your transactions To communicate with you about our services, including order management and billing To ensure legal compliance To comply with legal requirements To participate in law enforcement To enforce or exercise our rights, e.g., our Terms To process your information as described above, we rely on the following legal bases: With our service providers and partners We use third parties to help us operate and improve our services. These third parties assist us with various tasks, including data hosting and maintenance, analytics, customer support, marketing, advertising, payment processing, and security operations. We may also share information with partners who distribute and assist us in promoting our services. For example, we may share limited information about you in a hashed, human-readable form with our advertising partners. We follow a rigorous screening process before hiring any service provider or working with any partner. All of our service providers and partners must adhere to strict confidentiality obligations. 5. Cross-Border Data Transfers The sharing of information set forth in Section 6 sometimes involves cross-border data transfers, for example to the United States of America and other jurisdictions. For example, when the service allows users to be located in the European Economic Area (EEA), their personal information is transferred to countries outside the EEA. We use standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or other appropriate safeguards to authorize data transfers from the EEA to other countries. Standard contractual clauses are commitments between the companies transferring personal data, binding them to protect the privacy and security of your data. 6. Your Rights We want you to have control over your information, so we have provided the following tools: Service access and update tools. Account tools and settings that help you access, correct or delete information you have provided to us that is associated with your account directly in the service or by email to [email protected]. If you have any questions about these tools and settings, please contact our customer service department for assistance. Device permissions. Mobile platforms have authorization systems for specific types of device data and notifications, such as address book and location services and push notifications. You can change your settings on your device to consent or object to the collection of related information or the display of related notifications. Of course, if you do so, some features of the services may no longer be available. Deletion. You may delete your account by contacting customer service by email. We want you to be aware of your privacy rights. Here are some key points to remember: Uninstall. You can stop all information collection by an application by uninstalling it using your device's standard uninstall process. If you uninstall the application from your mobile device, the unique identifier associated with your device will continue to be stored. If you reinstall the application on the same mobile device, we will be able to reassociate that identifier with your past transactions and activities. Liability. In some countries, including the European Union, you have the right to file a complaint with the relevant data protection authority if you have concerns about how we are handling your personal information. The data protection authority to which you can lodge a complaint may be, among others, the one of your usual residence, the place where you work or the place where we are established. 7. How Long We Keep Your Information We keep your personal information only as long as we need it for legitimate business practices and as permitted by applicable law. To protect the safety and security of our users on and off our services, we implement a three-month security retention window after account deletion. During this period, account information will be retained even though the account will no longer be visible on the Services. In practice, we delete or anonymize your information when you delete your account (following the security retention window) or after two years of continuous inactivity. 8. Children's Privacy Our Services are limited to users 18 years of age or older. We do not allow users under the age of 18 on our platform. 9. Changes to Privacy Policy Because we are constantly looking for new and innovative ways to help you make meaningful connections, this policy may change from time to time. We will notify you if significant changes take effect so that you have time to review these changes. 14.
