PadTime Privacy Policy
Date of Last Modification: March 23, 2018
1. Introduction
Here at PadTime we are committed to preserving your privacy and being transparent about how PadTime uses information collected through its Website and App (collectively, the "Services"). The following privacy policy (the “Policy”) is intended to inform you of our policies and procedures regarding the information we collect and use when you use the Services. By using or accessing the Services in any manner, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Policy, and you hereby consent that we will collect, use, and share your information in the following ways. Any capitalized terms not defined here are defined in our Terms of Use.
2. Collection of User Information
Whenever you interact with our Services, we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser or device, which may include your IP address, geolocation data, device identification, “cookie” information, the type of browser and/or device you’re using to access our Services, and the page or feature you requested. “Cookies” are identifiers we transfer to your browser or device that allow us to recognize your browser or device and tell us how and when pages and features in our Services are visited and by how many people. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your device’s acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our features.
We may use this data to customize content for you that we think you might like, based on your usage patterns. We may also use it to improve our Services – for example, this data can tell us how often users use a particular feature of the Services, and we can use that knowledge to make the Services interesting to as many users as possible.
PadTime uses Google Analytics to improve its Services. This means Google Analytics may be provided with some of your de-identified personal information. For more information on Google Analytics and how it uses any data it receives, please visit: www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/
PadTime uses Google Maps API in its Services. By using Google Maps API on our Services, you agree to be bound by Google’s Terms of Service found here: https://maps.google.com/help/terms_maps.html. PadTime’s Google Maps API Implementation collects information such as your location and user name. Further, Google Maps API allows for the collection and storage of User cookies. PadTime does not collect any personally identifiable information through its use of Google Maps API whether individually or in the aggregate. You may revoke your consent of Google Maps API’s collection of information at any time by contacting us as described in Section 10 of this Privacy Policy. More information about Google Maps API and how it collects and tracks information can be found here: http://www.google.com/policies/privacy.
3. Collection of Agent Information
If you are an Agent, you will have the opportunity to provide us with some additional information directly. For example, some functions of the Services require you to register for a User Account, where we may ask you for your email address, name, license number, mobile phone number, and agency. In addition, you will have the opportunity to provide additional information (including a photo) to be publicly displayed alongside any listings you post on our Services (see our explanation of Public Agent Content further down in this section).
When you provide us with the credentials to a third party SNS, such as Facebook or Google, we will obtain what information the SNS allows us to receive, as determined by the terms that govern your relationship with the SNS.
Certain parts of the Services allow you to upload or publicly post content to PadTime’s platform (“Public Agent Content”). You may publicly post Public Agent Content at your sole discretion, but please note that any Public Agent Content you publicly post may be viewable to others, and may appear in search results of third-party engines. PadTime recommends that you do not publicly post any sensitive personally identifiable information, such as your address, information about website accounts, credit card numbers, or your Social Security Number, as that information may be seen by others. Please also note that certain information you provide when registering for your User Account, such as your name, phone number, and email address (but not any financial information that you submit through the Services in order to pay your Monthly Subscription Fee) will be considered Public Agent Content and made available alongside any listings you manage on our Services.
As noted above and in our Terms of Use, in order to use our Services, you will be asked to provide certain financial information so that you can be charged for the Services that you have purchased. Please note that your financial information will be collected by a third party payment processor that we have engaged to handle our financial transactions, and we will not have access to your financial information.
4. Collection of Prospective Tenant Information
When using the Services as a Prospective Tenant, you will have the opportunity to provide us with some information directly. For example, some functions of the Services require you to register for a User Account where we may ask you for your email address and preferred username. As another example, we may also collect other information you directly give us as you build your profile on the Services, such as your name, demographic information, and phone number. Information provided to us for User Accounts will not be made publicly available, but will be available to any Agent you contact through the Services. Agent use of this information is subject to use restrictions set forth in PadTime’s Terms of Service.
When you provide us with the credentials to a third party SNS, we will obtain what information the SNS allows us to receive, as determined by the terms that govern your relationship with the SNS.
5. Disclosure of User Information
Certain parts of the Services allow you to communicate with other Users or PadTime directly ("User Communication"). If you choose to contact another User through the Services by completing a request form on the Services, you authorize PadTime to provide your name and contact information and other identifying information to the applicable User. You acknowledge that, by submitting your request form on the Services, you may receive calls from or on behalf of the relevant Agent(s) at the telephone number(s) you provide. You may submit information for User Communications at your sole discretion, but PadTime recommends that you do not post any sensitive personally identifiable information, such as your address, information about website accounts, credit card numbers, or your Social Security Number.
Agents who post Public Agent Content acknowledge that all Public Agent Content, including live streams, will be accessible to the public and should use all reasonable efforts to keep any information they do not wish to be publicly available from being disclosed when using our Services.
We employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you; for example, we may use a payment processing company to receive and process your credit card transactions for us. Unless we tell you differently, our staff members do not have any right to use the personally identifiable information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us.
Please note that if you submit a review of our Services, any information you include in your review, including any personally identifiable information, will be accessible by other Users.
We may de-identify your personally identifiable information so that you are not identified as an individual, and provide that information to our partners. We may also provide aggregate usage information to our partners (or allow partners to collect that information from you), who may use such information to understand how often and in what ways people use our Services, so that they, too, can provide you with an optimal online experience. However, we never disclose aggregate usage or de-identified information to a partner (or allow a partner to collect such information) in a manner that would identify you as an individual person.
We may choose to buy or sell assets, and may share and/or transfer customer information in connection with the evaluation of and entry into such transactions. Also, if we (or our assets) are acquired, or if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, personally identifiable information could be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.
We reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information that we believe is necessary to comply with law or court order; enforce or apply our Terms of Service and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of PadTime, our employees, our users, or others.
6. Security
We endeavor to protect the privacy of your account and other personally identifiable information we hold in our records, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time.
7. Access to Information
Through your account settings, you may access, and, in some cases, edit or delete the following information you’ve provided to us:
· name and password;
· email address;
· location; or
· user profile information, including images you have uploaded to the site.
· Realtor registration number and agency (if optional information is provided)
· Phone Number (if optional information is provided)
The information you can view, update, and delete may change as the Services change. If you have any questions about viewing or updating information we have on file about you, please contact us as described in Section 10 of this Privacy Policy.
Finally, if you request, we will remove your name and all other personally identifiable information that you have provided from the Services. Please understand, however, that it may be impossible to delete this information completely, due to backups and records of deletions. In addition, please understand that, if you request removal of your information, you will be unable to utilize associated features of the Services. You may not request the removal of de-identified, anonymous, or aggregate data from our databases.
8. COPPA Compliance
Children under the age of 18 are not permitted to use, access or register for the Services in any way. We do not knowingly collect or solicit information from anyone under the age of 18. If we learn that PadTime has collected personally identifiable information from a child under the age of 18, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.
9. Changes to Policy
PadTime reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify this Policy at any time and without prior notice. If we modify this Policy, we will either post a notification of the modification on our website or otherwise provide you with notice of the change. The date of the last modification will also be posted at the beginning of this Policy. It is your responsibility to check from time to time for updates. By continuing to access or use the Services, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by any modified Policy.
