Effective Date: July 1, 2022

Social Outlier (“Socal Outlier” or “We”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this Privacy Policy (the “Policy”).

Please read this Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. By accessing the Social Outlier website, including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through www.socialoutlier.com or any subsite, subdomain, or successor site, or any mobile application which links to this policy (collectively, “Social Outlier”), you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use Social Outlier. This Policy may change from time to time. Your continued use of Social Outlier after we make changes is deemed to be an acceptance of those changes, so please check the Policy periodically for updates. If we make a material change about how we treat our customers’ personal information we will notify you at the email address specified in your account.

This Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit Social Outlier and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

This Policy applies to the information we collect on Social Outlier, in email, text, or other electronic messages between you and Social Outlier. This Policy does not apply to any services which do not display or link this Policy or that have their own privacy policy statements. Additionally, this Policy does not apply to any external websites which may be linked to Social Outlier.

1. Information We Collect About You and How We Collect It

We may collect several types of information from or about users of Social Outlier, including information:

• By which you may be personally identified, such as your name, email and telephone number (“Personal Information”);

• About your internet connection, the equipment you use to access our website, and usage details.

We collect this information directly from you when you provide it to us and automatically as you navigate through Social Outlier. Information collected automatically may include usage details, IP addresses, and information collected through Google Analytics.

2. Information We Collect

As you navigate through Social Outlier, we may collect two types of information from you: (1) “personally identifiable information” (as described below); and (2) “non-personally identifiable information” (as described below). “Personally identifiable information” is information that identifies you personally, such as your name, address, telephone number, email address, or company name. Here are some examples of the ways in which we may collect and store your personally identifiable information through Social Outlier:

• We may collect your first and last name, email address, or other information if you fill out certain forms or online requests on Social Outlier; or
• We may collect your email address if you contact us with a question.

“Non-personally identifiable information” can be technical information, or it can be demographic information, such as your age, name, gender, or interests. Non-personally identifiable information may also mean aggregated, non-identifiable, or anonymized information. Non-personally identifiable information does not identify you personally. If you do provide us with non-personally identifiable information, we may use it for the purposes described in this statement, or any other legal purpose.

Here are some examples of ways through which we may collect and store your non-personally identifiable information through Social Outlier, and how we use such information:

• Log Information: When you use Social Outlier, we automatically collect and store certain information in our server logs. This type of information includes details of how you use our service, IP address information described below, web pages which have been viewed by you, date and time, domain type, device event information such as crashes, system activity, hardware, settings, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your requests, and referral url.
• Internet Protocol (IP) Address: Your “IP address” is a number that lets computers attached to the internet know where to send you data, such as screens and pages of our services that you view. We use this information to deliver our screens and pages to you upon request, to tailor our services to the interests of you and our other visitors, and to measure traffic to and within our services.
• Usage Information: When you use Social Outlier, we may collect and process information about how you use Social Outlier, including how you move through Social Outlier.

7. Data Security

We have implemented measures to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. Once we receive your information, we make reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. We use firewalls to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of such firewalls or secure server software.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where you have chosen a password to access Social Outlier, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask that you not share this password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted via Social Outlier. Any transmission of personal information is done at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on Social Outlier.
