Pricefie

Pricefie Privacy Policy

Introduction

Asprise Technologies ("us", "we", or "our") operates the website and the Pricefie mobile application (the "Service").

We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions.

Information We Collect

We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so — for example, to provide our Services, to communicate with you, or to make our Services better.

We collect this information from two sources below:

Information You Provide to Us

We collect information that you provide to us directly. Here are some examples:

Basic account information: When you interact with our services, we collect information that you provide to us. For example, many of our services require you to set up an account, so we may need to collect a few important details about you, such as your name, email address and the city or region of the country you live in. We may also ask you to provide us with some additional information that will be publicly visible on our services, such as a profile picture.
Content information: You also provide us whatever information you send through our services. Keep in mind that the users who view your posts, messages and any other content can always save that content or copy it outside the app. So, the same common sense that applies to the internet at large applies to our services as well: Do not send messages or share content that you wouldn't want someone to save or share. As for the retention of content information on our server, see How Long We Keep Your Information further below.
Payment and contact information: If you buy something or subscribe to our Services, we’ll collect information to process those payments and contact you. This will include your name, credit card, and contact information. We keep a record of the purchases you’ve made.
Communication with us: When you contact customer support or communicate with us in any other way, we’ll collect whatever information you volunteer or that we need to resolve your question.

Information When You Use our Services

We also collect select information we get when you use our services:

Usage information: We collect information about your usage of our Services. For example, we collect information about the city item sections you added or barcode of the product you scanned to the city catalog of your residence. We also collect information about what happens when you use our Services. We use this information to, for example, provide our Services to you, get insights on how people use our Services so we can make our Services better, and understand and make predictions about user retention.
Camera and photos: Our services require us to collect images and other information from your device’s camera and photos. For example, you won’t be able to send posts or upload photos from your camera roll unless we can access your camera or photos.
Device information: We collect information from and about the devices you use such as the type of mobile device you use, your mobile device unique ID, the IP address of your mobile device, your mobile operating system, the type of mobile Internet browser you use, advertising identifiers, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.
Location information: We may determine the approximate location of your device from your IP address. We collect and use this information to, for example, calculate how many people visit our Services from certain geographic regions.
Information from cookies & other technologies: Like most online services and mobile applications, we may use cookies and other technologies such as web beacons, web storage and unique advertising identifiers to collect information about your activity, browser and device. We may also use these technologies to collect information when you interact with services we offer through one of our partners, such as advertising and commerce features. For example, we may use information collected on other websites to show you more relevant adverts. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually remove or reject browser cookies through the settings on your browser or device. For more information about our use of cookies and other technologies for tracking, including how you can control the use of cookies, please see our Cookie Policy.
Log information: Like most online service providers, we collect information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available, including the browser type, IP address, unique device identifiers, language preference, referring site, the date and time of access, operating system, and mobile network information. We collect log information when you use our Services — for example, when you create or make changes to your account on the Pricefie mobile application.

How We Use Information

Purposes for Using Information

We use information about you for the purposes listed below:

To provide our Services. For example, to set up and maintain your account, host your website, backup and restore your website, provide customer service, and verify user information.
To ensure quality, maintain safety, and improve our Services. For example, by providing automatic upgrades and new versions of our Services. Or, for example, by monitoring and analyzing how users interact with our Services so we can create new features that we think our users will enjoy and that will help them create and manage websites more efficiently or make our Services easier to use.
To place and manage ads in our advertising program. For example, to place ads on our own sites as part of our advertising program, and understand ad performance.
To market our Services and measure, gauge, and improve the effectiveness of our marketing. For example, by targeting our marketing messages to groups of our users, advertising our Services, analyzing the results of our marketing campaigns, and understanding and forecasting user retention.
To protect our Services, our users, and the public. For example, by detecting security incidents; detecting and protecting against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; fighting spam; complying with our legal obligations; and protecting the rights and property of pricefie.com and others, which may result in us, for example, terminating Services.
To fix problems with our Services. For example, by monitoring, debugging, repairing, and preventing issues.
To customize the user experience. For example, to personalize your experience by serving you relevant notifications and advertisements for our Services, recommending content through our post suggestions.
To communicate with you. For example, by emailing you to ask for your feedback, share tips for getting the most out of our products, or keep you up to date on pricefie.com; If you don’t want to hear from us, you can opt out of marketing communications at any time. (If you opt out, we’ll still send you important updates relating to your account.)
To notify you about changes to our Service

- Information about you, such as your name, profle pictures and your home region or city.

With third parties. We may share information about you with third parties in the following ways:

We require our subsidiaries and independent contractors to follow this Privacy Policy for any personal information that we share with them.
- Service Providers: We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service ("Service Providers"), to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Service-related services or to assist us in analyzing how our Service is used.

- Business transfers: In connection with any merger, sale of company assets, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, or in the unlikely event that Asprise Technologies goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would likely be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. If any of these events were to happen, this Privacy Policy would continue to apply to your information and the party receiving your information may continue to use your information, but only consistent with this Privacy Policy.

- Aggregated or de-identified information: We may share information that has been aggregated or de-identified, so that it can no longer reasonably be used to identify you. For instance, we may publish aggregate statistics about the use of our Services, or share a hashed version of your email address to facilitate customized ad campaigns on other platforms.
- Published support requests: If you send us a request for assistance (for example, via a support email or one of our other feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish that request in order to clarify or respond to your request, or to help us support other users.

How Long We Keep Your Information

We will retain your Personal Information and other information for as long as you maintain your Pricefie account

We generally discard information about you when it’s no longer needed for the purposes for which we collect and use it — described in the section above on How We Use Information — and we’re not legally required to keep it. For example, we keep the posts and messsages you post to your friends or groups for approximately 30 days, allowing a reasonable time for the recipients of the content you have posted to download or browse it. City posts, which is publicly viewable, have a variable retention and visibility period on the server. The retention periods of these posts depend on factors such as the section in which the post is published and the listing type of the post.

We also keep the web server logs that record information about a visitor to one of Pricefie's websites or API backend, like the visitor’s IP address, browser type, and operating system. We retain the logs for a period of time in order to, among other things, analyze traffic and investigate issues if something goes wrong on one of our websites. Deleted content may remain on our backups and caches until purged.

We may also retain certain information if necessary for purposes of safety, security, and fraud prevention. For example, if we deactivate a user’s account because of unsafe behavior or security incidents, we may retain certain information about that account to prevent that user from opening a new Pricefie account in the future.

Transfer Of Data

Your information may be processed by us, our trusted third party suppliers on — computers located outside of the country in which you reside, including countries where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction.

Your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

Asprise Technologies will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information.

Links to Other Sites

Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

Data Security

The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We take appropriate administrative, technical and physical security measures to safeguard your Personal Information from unauthorized access and disclosure. For example, only authorized employees are permitted to access Personal Information, and they may do so only for permitted business functions. In addition, we use encryption in the transmission of certain your Personal Information between your system and ours, and we use firewalls to help prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to your Personal Information.

Please be advised, however, that we cannot fully eliminate security risks associated with the storage and transmission of your Personal Information. You should use caution whenever submitting any information and take special care in deciding which information you provide us with.

You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your account information at all times.

Choices

You have several choices available when it comes to information about you:

You can at any time request to opt out from allowing us to send you push notifications by adjusting the permissions in your mobile device.
You can switch off camera or other similar functions on your mobile device if you do not wish to share them.
You can choose not to provide us with Personal Information, but that may result in you being unable to use certain features because such information may be required for you to register for purchase Paid Services, or make complaints.
You can change the mobile advertising identifiers in your mobile device or limit advertising tracking through your mobile device’s privacy settings. For more information on how to change the advertising identifier privacy settings on your device, please visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/mobile-choice or http://youradchoices.com/appchoices.
You can make changes to your information, including accessing your information, correcting or updating your information or deleting your information by editing your profile in the App.
Close your account: While we’d be very sad to see you go, you can close your account if you no longer want to use our Services. Please keep in mind that we may continue to retain your information after closing your account, as described in How Long We Keep Your Information — for example, when that information is reasonably needed to comply with or demonstrate our compliance with legal obligations such as law enforcement requests, or reasonably needed for our legitimate business interests. Unless there is any legitimate reason to continue retaining your account, your account data will be purged from our servers after 30 days and the process cannot be reversed. Therefore, please be certain you want to cancel your account before contacting us.
Restore your closed account: It is possible to reverse an account closure for the first 30 days after an account is closed. If you realize you closed your account in error, please contact us immediately. We will be able to assist you in reopening your account during this 30 day window. Once the 30 days have passed, all of your sites and account data are purged and cannot be restored. Please note that during this 30 day window your account data persists, which means that you cannot use your account email address to sign up for a new Pricefie.com account. Once the 30 days are up and your account is purged, your email will be freed to use with a new account.

Your rights

If you are located in certain parts of the world, including California and countries that fall under the scope of the European General Data Protection Regulation (aka the “GDPR”), you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, like the right to request access to or deletion of your data.

European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

If you are located in a country that falls under the scope of the GDPR, data protection laws give you certain rights with respect to your personal data, subject to any exemptions provided by the law, including the rights to:

Request access to your personal data;

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) requires us to provide California residents with some additional information about the categories of personal information we collect and share, where we get that personal information, and how and why we use it.

The CCPA also requires us to provide a list of the “categories” of personal information we collect, as that term is defined in the law, so, here it is. In the last 12 months, we collected the following categories of personal information from California residents, depending on the Services used:

Identifiers (like your name, contact information, and device and online identifiers);
Commercial information (your billing information and purchase history, for example);
Characteristics protected by law (for example, you might provide your gender as part of a research survey for us);
Internet or other electronic network activity information (such as your usage of our Services, like the actions you take as a user of our Service);
Geolocation data (such as your location based on your IP address);
Electronic, visual or similar information (such as your profile picture, if you uploaded one);
Inferences we make (such as likelihood of retention or attrition).

You can find more information about what we collect and sources of that information in the Information We Collect section above.

We collect personal information for the business and commercial purposes described in the How We Use Information section. And we share this information with the categories of third parties described in the How We Share Information section.

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the CCPA, subject to any exemptions provided by the law, including the right to:

Request to know the categories of personal information we collect, the categories of business or commercial purpose for collecting and using it, the categories of sources from which the information came, the categories of third parties we share it with, and the specific pieces of information we collect about you;
Request deletion of personal information we collect or maintain;
Opt out of any sale of personal information; and
Not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your rights under the CCPA.

Contacting Us About These Rights

You can usually access, correct, or delete your personal data using your account settings and tools that we offer, but if you aren’t able to or you’d like to contact us about one of the other rights, read the section below on “How to Reach Us” to find out how to reach us. When you contact us about one of your rights under this section, we’ll need to verify that you are the right person before we disclose or delete anything. For example, if you are a user, we will need you to contact us from the email address associated with your account. You can also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf by giving us written authorization. We may still require you to verify your identity with us.

How to Reach Us

If you would like to contact us about any of the rights mentioned in the Your Rights section above, please contact via email.

Children's Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 18 ("Children"). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Children has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

Privacy Policy Changes

We may update this privacy policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons.
