Information we collect about you

In General – We may collect information that can identify you, such as your name and email address (“Personal Information”) and other information that does not identify you. This information may be collected either through our website or mobile application.

Information you provide

Users - In order to create an account as a User with the Site, you will be asked to provide your first and last name, your company’s name, your company’s industry, your address, your email address, telephone number, employer identification number, and a unique username. Once your account is created, we may collect and store any additional personal information you provide while using our Service or in some other manner. This may include identifying information, such as your mailing address, as well as demographic information, such as age range and gender. If you are buying something from the Site, you will be asked to provide your payment card information to our third party payment processor in order to collect payment. Your payment card information will not be stored on our systems; however, we may retain the last four digits of a payment card you have used on our site for your convenience with future purchases.

Technical Information through your Device

This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. The servers on which this Site is hosted gather certain information about how you access the Site in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include your computer’s media access control (“MAC”) address, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, operating system, and web browser type, as well as the Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") of the website that you just came from and the URL of the website you go to next.

This Site and Third Party Sites may also make use of pixel tags, temporary or “session” cookies, and similar technologies in order to enable the basic functionality of the sites, facilitate users’ access to and use of the sites, and count which pages of the sites have been visited and help determine the effectiveness of Site content. Third-party links may appear on the sites and, if so, those third-parties may set and access cookies on your computer. Those organizations will have their own privacy policies that govern their use of any personally identifiable information. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to automatically decline cookies, or to be given the choice of declining or accepting the transfer of a particular cookie, or cookies from a particular website, to your computer. However, this Site may not function for you as intended without cookies.

Information collected by third-parties for advertising purposes.

SpiritHoods owns and protects the information located on the Berify secure encrypted servers, and no other organizations have access to the securely stored information unless authorized by SpiritHoods. In the future we may allow specific service providers, advertising companies and ad networks, and other third parties to display advertisements on our Service. These companies may use tracking technologies, such as cookies or web beacons, to collect information about users who view or interact with their advertisements. Some of these third-party advertising companies may be advertising networks that are members of the Network Advertising Initiative, which offers a single location to opt out of ad targeting from member companies (www.networkadvertising.org). We also provide some non-anonymized personal information to our brand partners. 

How we use the information we collect

Service providers - We may share information, including personal and financial information, with third parties that perform certain services on our behalf. These services may include fulfilling orders, providing customer service and marketing assistance, performing business and sales analysis, ad tracking and analytics, supporting our Service functionality, and supporting reward programs, contests, sweepstakes, surveys and other features offered through our Service. These service providers may have access to personal information needed to perform their functions but are not permitted to share or use such information for any other purposes.

Legal Compliance - We may share information, including personal and financial information, in response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order, or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other government agency; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. In such cases, we may raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us.

Fraud Prevention - We may share information, including personal and financial information, when we believe disclosure is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing; to protect and defend the rights, property or safety of our company, our users, our employees, or others; to comply with applicable law or cooperate with law enforcement; or to enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements or policies. In connection with a substantial corporate transaction, such as the sale of our business, a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.

Aggregated and/or Non-Personal Information – We may use and share non-personal, de-identified, pseudonymous, or aggregated information we collect under any of the above circumstances. We may also share it with other third parties to develop and deliver targeted advertising on our Site and on websites or applications of third parties, and to analyze and report on advertising you see. We maycombine non-personal information we collect with additional non-personal information collected from other sources. We also may share aggregated, non-personal information, or personal information in hashed, non-human readable form, with third parties, including advisors, advertisers and investors, for the purpose of conducting general business analysis or other business purposes.

Do Not Track Disclosure

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in some web browsers. DNT is a way for users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their website visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information we collect; however, we do not currently recognize or respond toDNT signals, as the Internet industry works toward defining exactly what DNT will mean, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT signals.

Third Party Websites

On our Site, you may be presented with links to access third-party websites that do not operate under this Privacy Policy. For example, if you click on an advertisement on the Site, you may be taken to a website that we do not control. These third-party websites may independently solicit and collect information directly from you when you visit the site, including personal information, from you and, in some instances, provide us with information about the activities on those websites. We recommend that you consult the Privacy Policies of all third-party websites you visit by clicking the “Privacy” link typically located at the footer of the website you are visiting.

How you can access your information

We take reasonable steps to help ensure that the Personal Information we collect from you is accurate, complete and current. In addition to accessing your Personal Information through the app or website, you may also request access to your Personal Information, request that erroneous or inaccurate Personal Information be updated, or request deletion of your Personal Information, by contacting us via email at support@berify.io and referencing the SpiritHoods Berify Collaboration. 

You also may close your account at any time by visiting the "Settings" page for your account or y contacting us via email at support@berify.io. If you close your account, we will retain certain information associated with your account for analytical purposes and recordkeeping integrity, as well as to prevent fraud, enforce our Terms of Use, take actions we deem necessary to protect the integrity of our service or our users, or take other actions otherwise permitted by law. In addition, if certain information has already been provided to third parties (excluding processors) as described in this Privacy Policy, retention of that information may be subject to those third parties' policies.

We will respond promptly to your requests in accordance with applicable law. For your protection, we may only implement requests with respect to the personal information associated with the email address that you use to send us your request, and we may need to verify your identity before implementing your request. We may decline to process requests that jeopardize the privacy of others, are extremely impractical, orwould cause us to take any action that is not permissible under applicable laws. Additionally, as permitted by applicable laws, we may need to retain certain personal information for a longer period for recordkeeping purposes, such as retaining records relating to your purchases for warranty or accounting purposes.

Your choices about collection and use of your information

You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but that may result in you being unable to use certain features of the Berify app because such information may be required in order for you to register as a user, purchase products or services, participate in a reward program, contest, promotion, survey, or sweepstakes, ask a question, or initiate other transactions.

Our Site may also deliver notifications to your phone or mobile device. You can disable these notifications by changing the settings on your mobile device.

How we protect your personal information
We take reasonable and appropriate security measures to help safeguard your Personal Information from unauthorized access and disclosure. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this site cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please notify us of the situation as soon as possible by contacting us at the addresses listed below; if you choose to notify us via physical mail, this will delay the time it takes for us to respond to the situation, even in those situations in which it is appropriate for use to do so. Users should take care with how they handle and disclose their Personal Information and should avoid sending Personal Information through insecure communication channels, such as email. Please refer to the Federal Trade Commission’s website at https://consumer.ftc.gov/identity-theft-and-online-security/online-privacy-and-securityfor information about how to protect yourself online.
