We will routinely update this Privacy Policy to clarify our practices and to reflect new or different privacy practices, such as when we add new services, functionality or features to the Site. If we make any material changes, we will notify you by e-mail (sent to the e-mail address specified in your account) or by means of notice on the Site prior to the change becoming effective. You can determine when this Privacy Policy was last revised by referring to the date it was “Last Updated” above.

The Information We Collect

We collect only personal information that is relevant and necessary to the purpose of the Site and Services. This information allows us to provide you with a customized and efficient experience. We collect the following types of information from our users:

A. Personally Identifiable Information

We receive and store any information you enter on our Site, uploaded through our mobile application, uploaded through our desktop application, or provide to us in any other way, including by e-mail. When you send an e-mail to Peersway, we may retain your e-mail address and the contents of the e-mail you send.

User Account Registration: In order for you to use parts of the Site or the Services you may have to complete a registration form and create a user account (a “User Account”). As part of this registration process, we require select personally identifiable information (“Personal Identifiable Information”) such as your name, e-mail address, address, phone number, password, age, gender, student status, your personal blog information, and your PayPal account information. Certain information is available and will be displayed to other users of the Site in connection with your User Account, including, but not limited to: your name and any Campaigns you have participated in or are currently participating in (the “Displayed Account Information”). By visiting your User Account settings, you can correct, amend, add or delete certain personal information on our Site.

Rest assured that Peersway will not share your Financial Information with any third-party except as required in order to facilitate such payments in accordance with your agreement with Peersway. The Financial Information you provide to Peersway will be retained by us until the earlier to occur of the following: (i) you request in writing that your Financial Information be deleted; or (ii) you or Peersway terminate your User Account; or (iii) the day that is six (6) months after you initially provided the Financial Information to Peersway. In the event that you use a third-party payment processor in order to receive a payment from Peersway, including but not limited to PayPal, your use of such third-party payment processor shall be governed by their then applicable terms and conditions and/or privacy policies. PayPal’s terms and conditions are available here and its privacy policy is available here.

Non-Provision of Information: Please note that you can choose not to provide us with certain Personal Identifiable Information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of all of the Services or access all parts of the Site.

B. Non-Personally Identifiable Information

From time to time, we may also ask you to provide us with non-personally identifiable information, that is, data that is not intended to allow us to identify you personally, such as your first name, birthday or postal code. This information may be aggregated and used for our internal purposes or for creating reports for third-party advertisers and partners, or otherwise shared with third parties for any lawful purpose, without your permission. No third party is intended to be able to know who you are as a result of the use of this information.

We also may automatically collect Site and Service usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of users to the Site and/or Services, pages visited and similar data. This data is used in the aggregate, that is, as a statistical measure, and not in a manner that is intended to identify you personally. Aggregate information generally is collected through the use of cookies and web beacons as discussed below. This aggregate information helps Peersway determine general usage patterns and modify the Site and/or Services in order to improve your experience. This type of aggregate information may be shared with third parties at any time.

In addition to our use of non-personally identifiable information as described herein, we may permit certain third-party companies to help us tailor advertising that we think may be of interest to you based on your use of the Services and to otherwise collect and use non-personally identifiable data about your use of the Site and/or Services.

C. Passive Gathering of Information Electronically

We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with the Site or the Services. Peersway and its authorized agents automatically receive and record certain “traffic data” on their server logs from your browser, including your IP address, cookie and web beacon information, and the page you requested. Peersway uses this traffic data to help diagnose problems with its servers, analyze trends and administer the Site and the Services.

D. Social Media Account Information

When you apply to be enrolled in one of Peersway’s social media marketing campaigns (a “Campaign”), you will be asked to provide the handles of the social media accounts owned by you which you designate for use in connection with such Campaign (the “Designated Accounts”). Peersway may make use of certain publicly available information relating to your Designated Accounts for the purposes of evaluating your suitability for participating in the Campaign and the level of remuneration you would be entitled to receive for such participation, including, but not limited to, (i) the number of followers of such Designated Accounts; (ii) the quality and type of such followers; and (iii) the number of interactions that you receive in connection with your existing posts on such Designated Accounts (all of the foregoing being the “Social Media Information”). In the event that one or some of your Designated Accounts are locked for viewing by the public, you must provide viewing access to Peersway for such Desiganted Accounts in order to participate in a Campaign. Peersway may share the Social Media Information it gathers and/or its analysis of the same with the third-party entity who has retained Peersway to facilitate the Campaign, or their designated associates and/or affiliates, but will not share the same with any other third party unless specifically authorized by you in writing. Your use of any social media account, whether in connection with the Site or Services, or otherwise, is governed by the provider of such account’s then applicable terms and conditions and privacy policies and Peersway has no control over how such provider uses your personal information.

How We Use Information

When you provide us with your information, we may use such information for a number of purposes, including:

To facilitate communication between Peersway and you including, without limitation, responding to your questions or comments, sending e-mails concerning our products and services, or to contact you for feedback regarding us, our advertisers or our business partners;
