The term “personal information” or “personal data” means any information about an individual from which that person may be identified. For example, it may include a person’s name, telephone number, email address, or payment information, and in some jurisdictions, IP address. It does not include data from which the identity of an individual has been definitively removed along with any identifiers connected to such individual (also known as anonymous or anonymized data).

In some instances, we collect information directly from you as explained here, and in others, you will not provide any information to us directly, in which case we automatically collect certain information as explained here. In addition, we may receive information from third parties as explained here.
Please note that if you access and/or use the Services as an employee, contractor and/or agent of a user that is a Client, you are deemed a “Client User” of that Client, and certain information collected by us in connection with your use of the Services is controlled by the Client. When we collect and/or process such information, we do so on behalf of the Client. In such cases, the Client is the “data controller” and Storetasker is the “data processor” (as those terms are defined under applicable data protection laws).
Whether that Client is your employer, another organization, or an individual, that Client determines its own policies regarding storage, access, modification, deletion, sharing, and retention of such information which may apply to your use of the Services. If applicable, please check with the Client about the policies and settings it has in place with respect to information you submit in connection with your use of the Services.
The personal information we collect directly from you depends on how and why you use the Services. For instance, the information that you provide when you visit and/or browse the Site or sign up for our marketing communications is more limited than the information you provide when you register an Account. We have divided this section into the following categories to better explain the circumstances the types of personal information that may be collected when you engage in the following activities:
Please be advised that we may ask you to update your information from time to time in order to keep it accurate.
Additionally, if you provide personal information to us about someone else, you must ensure that you are entitled to disclose that information to us and, without us having to take any further steps required by data protection laws, that we may collect, use and disclose such information for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice. For example, you should ensure the individual concerned is aware of the terms detailed in this Privacy Notice and that they have not objected or do not object to you sharing their information with us.
When you register an Account, Storetasker may collect the following personal information directly from you:
If you post, submit, transmit, upload and/or otherwise provide us any messages, photos, video, audio, images, data, information, text and/or any other content or materials in connection with the use of the Storetasker Service (collectively, “User Content”). Examples of when we collect User Content include:
When you make purchases and/or receive payments through the Services, Storetasker may collect limited payment information, such as your credit card, bank account information, billing address, taxpayer identification information, as well as information regarding the payments paid and/or received by you in connection with the use of the Services.
Note that payment transaction information is processed and stored exclusively by our third-party payment processors and/or by the third party payment provider you have linked to your Account, and the information provided to Storetasker only includes partial payment or credit card information, as described here.
In some circumstances, we may need to verify your identity and/or qualifications for our internal purposes or as required by law, for example, for tax filing purposes, or, with your consent, to conduct a background check, in which case, we may collect certain personal information, such as your date of birth and your taxpayer identification number or social security number, and any other information necessary for us to verify your identity and/or qualifications and/or to conduct background checks.
When you use or interact with the Services, we, or our authorized third-party service providers, automatically collect information about how you use them (collectively, “Usage Information”).
Usage Information that we collect consists of information about your interactions with the Services, including information about the device and/or platform (e.g., iOS or Android) used by you to interact with and/or access the Services, including, without limitation, IP address, access dates and times, information about your approximate location (as determined through your IP address), device information, device event information, crash data, and log data when you access and use the Services.

We use this information for our internal purposes, specifically to operate, maintain, secure and improve the Services.
Typically, all technical, analytics, and usage information is gathered by Storetasker in anonymous form and does not identify you personally. To the extent any Usage Information is linked or tied to personally identifiable information, such information is deemed “personal data” and we will use it and protect it in accordance with this Privacy Notice.
We may also use this information to provide you with notifications, recommendations, and information about specific features of the Services and/or additional products, services, or features we believe may be of interest to you.
We or authorized third parties may collect certain information by automated means using technologies such as cookies, web beacons, embedded scripts, pixels, browser analysis tools, server logs, and mobile identifiers; however, even though we use these technologies to track the use of the Services, Storetasker does not directly track users across third party websites; however, certain third partner advertising partners may track you across third party websites as described below. In many cases, the information we collect using cookies and other tools is only used in a non-identifiable manner without reference to personal information. For example, we may use information we collect to better understand website traffic patterns and to optimize user experience. In other cases, we associate the information we collect using cookies and other technology with your personal information.

If we are required to disclose personal information by law, such as pursuant to a subpoena, warrant or other judicial or administrative order, our policy is to respond to requests that are properly issued by law enforcement within the United States. Under such circumstances, unless prohibited by applicable law, we will attempt to provide you with prior notice that a request for your personal information has been made in order to give you an opportunity to object to the disclosure. We will attempt to provide this notice by email, if you have given us an email address. However, government requests may include a court-granted non-disclosure order, which prohibits us from giving notice to the affected individual. In cases where we receive a non-disclosure order, we will notify you when it has expired or once we are authorized to do so.
Note that if we receive information that provides us with a good faith belief that there is an exigent emergency involving the danger of death or serious physical injury to a person, we may provide information to law enforcement trying to prevent or mitigate the danger (if we have it), to be determined on a case-by-case basis.

On or through the Services, we provide third-party “share” buttons which enable you to share certain content via social media sites (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn). These “share” buttons may function as web beacons when you interact with the button. Please note that when you “share” using the buttons, you may send to the third party provider of the “share” button the information that you are viewing.

By clicking on links to External Websites, the operators of the External Websites may collect your personal information. We are not responsible for the content or data collection practices of those External Websites, and your use of External Websites is subject to their respective terms of use and privacy policies.

In order to determine the most appropriate retention periods for your personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of your information, the reasons for which we collect and process your personal information, and applicable legal requirements.
In some instances, we may choose to anonymize personal information instead of deleting it, for statistical use, for instance. When we choose to anonymize, we make sure that there is no way that the personal information can be linked back to any specific individual.
We have put in place reasonable and appropriate security measures designed to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. For example, we use encryption, secure socket layer, firewalls, and password protection. In addition, we limit access to personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and the third parties who have a business need-to-know.
We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, and while we take reasonable steps to provide secure services, by using the Services, you understand and assume the risks associated with your activities on the internet.
In addition, you have responsibility and control over protecting your personal information.
