PRIVACY POLICY

Welcome to Birdy’s Privacy Policy. Thank you for taking the time to read it.

We appreciate that you trust us with your information and we intend to always keep that trust. This starts with making sure you understand the information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used and your choices regarding your information. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 7, 2020

2. WHERE THIS PRIVACY POLICY APPLIES

This Privacy Policy applies to websites, apps, events and other services operated by Personality System, LLC. For simplicity, we refer to all of these as our “services” in this Privacy Policy. 

3. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

It goes without saying, we can’t help you develop meaningful and compatible connections without some information about you. We need this information to create your account, determine your personality type and find the best match for you in our user base. You can request a copy of your personal information at privacy@app-birdy.com.

You choose to give us certain information when using our services. This includes:

By choosing to provide this information, you consent to our processing of that information.

4. COOKIES AND OTHER SIMILAR DATA COLLECTION TECHNOLOGIES

We use and may allow others to use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., pixels) to analyze site traffic and trends, deliver and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. You can control their use, through your browser settings and other tools.

5. HOW WE USE INFORMATION

The main reason we use your information is to deliver and improve our services. Additionally, we use your info to help keep you safe. Read on for a more detailed explanation of the various reasons we use your information, together with practical examples.

To administer your account and provide our services to you

To help you connect with other users

To improve our services and develop new ones

To prevent, detect and fight fraud or other illegal or unauthorized activities

To ensure legal compliance

To process your information as described above, we rely on the following legal bases:

6. HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION

Since our goal is to help you make meaningful connections, the main sharing of users’ information is, of course, with other users. We also share some users’ information with service providers and partners who assist us in operating the services, and in some cases, legal authorities. Read on for more details about how your information is shared with others.

7. CROSS-BORDER DATA STORAGE

Sharing of information laid out in Section 6 sometimes involves cross-border storage, for instance to the United States of America and Europe. As an example, where the service allows for users to be located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), some of their personal information is stored in the United States of America.

8. YOUR RIGHTS

We want you to be in control of your information, so we have provided you with the following tools:

We want you to be aware of your privacy rights. Here are a few key points to remember:

For your protection and the protection of all of our users, we will ask you to provide proof of identity before we can answer the above requests.

Keep in mind, we may reject requests for certain reasons, including if the request is unlawful or if it may infringe on trade secrets or intellectual property or the privacy of another user. If you wish to receive information relating to another user, such as a copy of any messages you received from him or her through our service, the other user will have to contact our Privacy Officer to provide their written consent before the information is released.

9. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

We work hard to protect you from unauthorized access to or alteration, disclosure or destruction of your personal information. As with all technology companies, although we take steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information will always remain secure.

We may suspend your use of all or part of the services without notice if we suspect or detect any breach of security. If you believe that your account or information is no longer secure, please notify us immediately at privacy@app-birdy.com.

10. HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR INFORMATION

We keep your personal information only as long as we need it for legitimate business purposes (as laid out in Section 5) and as permitted by applicable law. In practice, we delete or anonymize your information upon deletion of your account or after two years of continuous inactivity, unless:

  1. we must keep it to evidence our compliance with applicable law (for instance, records of consents to our Terms, Privacy Policy and other similar consents are kept for five years);
  2. there is an outstanding issue, claim or dispute requiring us to keep the relevant information until it is resolved; or
  3. the information must be kept for our legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention and enhancing users’ safety and security. For example, information may need to be kept to prevent a user who was banned for unsafe behavior or security incidents from opening a new account.

Keep in mind that even though our systems are designed to carry out data deletion processes according to the above guidelines, we cannot promise that all data will be deleted within a specific time frame due to technical constraints.

12. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Our services are restricted to users who are 18 years of age or older. We do not permit users under the age of 18 on our platform and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. 

13. PRIVACY POLICY CHANGES

Because we’re always looking for new and innovative ways to help you build meaningful connections, this policy may change over time. We will notify you before any material changes take effect so that you have time to review the changes.
