Introduction
Socialance has created this Privacy Policy in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. As are the other Socialance Policies, this Privacy Policy is incorporated into our Terms of Service Agreement and by registering for our service, you accept the terms of this Privacy Policy.By submitting personal information through Socialance, you expressly consent to the processing of your personal information according to this Privacy Policy. Your personal information may be processed by Socialance in the country where it was collected, as well as other countries where laws regarding processing of personal information may be less stringent than the laws in your country.
Links to Other Sites
Socialance is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any other web sites to which the site links or which link to the site. By clicking on a link, logo or other item, please note that you may no longer be on Socialance.com, any of its subdomains or web properties. To check what Internet location you are on, note the URL at the top and/or bottom of your browser. We encourage you to read the posted privacy statement of that web site whenever interacting with any site.
If you register to buy or sell Services using Socialance, we collect and store information that specifically identifies you or your account ("Personally Identifiable Information"). At this time, the most information you would be required to submit is information about your skills, abilities to perform service work, your first name, last name, password, city, country, timezone and email address. We may, in the future, include other optional requests for information from you, to help us to tailor the site for you and deliver personalized information to you.
Online Surveys and Contests
Periodically, Socialance may conduct online User surveys to collect information about our Users, their preferences and work habits. These surveys are optional and if you choose to respond, your responses will be kept anonymous. Similarly, we may offer contests to qualifying Users in which we ask for contact and demographic information such as name, email address and mailing address. None of this information is shared with third parties, except in summary form, if at all. The demographic information that Socialance collects in the registration process and through online surveys is used to help us improve the Socialance Marketplace to meet the needs and preferences of our Users. This may include targeting advertising or other information to you about our offerings. Information we gather through a contest may also be disclosed to third parties as necessary for prize fulfillment and other aspects of any contest or similar offering.
Socialance Payment System
Socialance uses a third-party payment system (the "Payment System") that allows Employers to pay with a credit or debit card, bank balance or other funds. If you make use of this service, Socialance will not collect any financial details such as credit card numbers, cvv codes or balances. We will use this service to bill you any fees and/or to perform the billing operation on behalf of the Freelancer.
Socialance automatically collects your browser type and browser software version to tailor the presentation of the Socialance Marketplace to your platform and to maintain a record of your activity on the site. Socialance uses cookies to enable Users to specify unique preferences and to track User trends and patterns. Users always have the option of disabling cookies via their browser preferences. If you disable cookies on your browser, please note that some parts of our site may not function as effectively or may be considerably slower. As an automatic process, our webserver software records a log file of IP addresses that access the Socialance Marketplace. We also collect IP address and other system information for purposes of statistical analysis and to maintain the trust and security of the Socialance Marketplace. We will not use IP addresses or other system information to identify a User unless we determine, in our sole discretion, that it is necessary to enforce compliance without various policies to protect our service, site, customers and others. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Socialance gathers only that information that is reasonably necessary for it to operate the Socialance Marketplace and otherwise conduct its business. Socialance uses commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that its collection of such relevant information does not interfere with the operation or security of your system.
Profiles
As part of registration, you may set up your profile describing your work experience, rates and qualifications, as a Freelancer, or information about you or your company, as an Employer. Some of the information requested in the registration is mandatory. We strongly encourage you to complete your profile as much as possible as this may directly affect your likelihood of finding work opportunities or, as an Employer, outstanding Freelancer candidates.
We use Personally Identifiable Information for our own internal purposes including contacting you via email to inform you about updates to Socialance and providing you with information relating to e-commerce transactions that you conduct on the site. We reserve the right to disclose your information as required by law. We do not rent or sell our Users' Personally Identifiable Information to third parties. We do, however, provide you with the opportunity to receive communications via email.
Use of General Data
Socialance reserves the right to use the general data it obtains from Users' use of the system, including all statistical information. You acknowledge that such data belongs to Socialance and that Socialance shall have the right to use such data as it determines in its sole discretion.
Advertising
Socialance may send you email communications including information that we may think may be of interest to you. We do not send any of your Personally Identifiable Information to our advertisers. You may see a cookie from a third-party banner server and this cookie comes from the third-party banner server, not Socialance. Again, we do not pass along any Personally Identifiable Information to this party.
Co-Branded Services
Socialance may enter into co-branding relationships with third-party web sites and companies to provide products and services to our Users. Socialance may share your Personally Identifiable Information, including User ID and password, with certain co-branded third-party service or product Providers as required to provide a specific product or service. However, these third-party partners may not use this Personally Identifiable Information for any reason other than to provide the service or product that the User has explicitly signed up for. While it is Socialance's general policy not to share anything other than summarized or aggregated data with the partner, any Personally Identifiable Information you provide may also be received by the co-branded site and could be stored and used by the co-branded service or product Provider according to their privacy policy. Please take the time to review these third-party privacy policies.
Socialance uses an outside credit card processing company to bill Employers for Freelancer Services. Socialance may also engage other third party intermediaries in order to provide our users with additional offerings and services. Socialance makes no representations on these third parties and their use of personal identifiable information. Please refer to the third party's website and terms of service for their specific privacy policies.
Socialance constantly seeks to improve the quality of and the User experience on the Socialance Marketplace. We value your input and encourage you to help us expand and make improvements to the Socialance Marketplace by providing us with any thoughts or comments you might have regarding the site. When sending us comments we may receive your email address or User ID and the country in which you are located. If you provide this information, we will only use it to acknowledge or respond to your comments. Submitting comments via an email will not cause you to receive any secondary or promotional material, unless specifically requested by you. In certain circumstances, we may ask for your permission to post your comments in marketing or promotional materials.
Security
We will use commercially reasonable methods to keep Personally Identifiable Information securely in our files and systems. Our Payment is managed by a third party, which operates using secure Internet connections, including SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption, to help protect your financial data. Please note that with current technology, we cannot guarantee the security of your data as it travels over the Internet.
Terminating Your Membership
We save your Personally Identifiable Information until your membership with us is terminated. To terminate membership, you need to contact us indicating your request. If you terminate your membership, your Personally Identifiable Information cannot be recovered and you may continue to receive email communications for a short period of time until we have updated all of our databases. After termination of your membership, your Personally Identifiable Information may remain on our archived database and records for a reasonable time as residual information. We will not use this residual information. Notwithstanding the above, we will maintain information on Users who have been removed for violating any of our agreements.
Most User Information is User updatable through the various pages available at the Socialance website. If you cannot update the information yourself, please contact us to notify us of any changes or errors related to any of your information that we have on file. Upon receipt of such requests, we will update our files within 30 days.
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve User privacy, we may need to disclose your Personally Identifiable Information when required by law when we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process. Other than as set forth in this Privacy Policy, Socialance will treat all User information confidentiality and use commercially reasonable efforts, being no less than the efforts it uses to maintain its own confidential information, to keep all such User confidential information confidential. Furthermore, upon your written request, Socialance shall return or destroy your confidential information in Socialance's possession; provided maintenance of such is not reasonably necessary for Socialance to maintain and keep the Marketplace secure or such retention is not required by law.
