• 4. Cookies, Pixel Tags and Other Web Beacons

  A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on
  your browser or device if you agree. Pixel tags and web beacons are tiny
  graphic images placed on website pages or in our emails that allow us
  to determine whether you have performed specific actions. When you
  access these pages or open email messages, the pixel tags and web
  beacons generate a notice of that action to us or our service providers.
  These tools allow us to measure response to our communications and
  improve our web pages and promotions.

• We use the following types of cookies:
  • Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our Websites. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our
    Websites.
  • Analytical/performance cookies. These cookies allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our Websites. This helps us to improve the way they work, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are
    looking for easily. We use these to remember who you are and keep track of your preferences, e.g. the cities for which you want to be shown Partner offerings. We may also collect information about the website you
    were visiting before you landed on one of our own, and the website you visit after you leave our own, if this information is supplied to us by your browser.

    your browser.

• Remarketing Cookies

  You may notice that sometimes, after visiting a website, you see
  increased numbers of adverts from the site you visited. That’s because
  the website you visited has placed a cookie on your web browser. Using
  that cookie and web analytics tools, the website owner will be able to
  show you adverts on third-party websites that they think you might be
  interested in. This cookie does not give access to your computer or
  mobile device, but may be able to identify you from other details.

• Google Analytics

  Our Websites use Google Analytics to show relevant adverts to
  users who have previously visited us as they browse the web. This
  enables us to tailor our marketing to better suit your needs and only
  display ads that are relevant to you. You may see Creatr or one of our
  Partners in search results pages (using Google Adwords), on YouTube, in
  banner adverts on Gmail and on other services run by Google.

  Any information collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and Google’s privacy policy. If you do not wish to see ads, you can:

  • opt out of Google’s use of cookies through Google’s Ads Settings
  • refuse the use of cookies by downloading and installing Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

• Facebook Remarketing

  We also use similar targeted advertising technology to ensure
  that we only serve people with adverts on their Facebook pages that are
  relevant to them. To enable us to do this, we include a piece of code on
  our websites, called the Facebook Pixel. The information collected, for
  example which pages you visited, which device you used and what actions
  you took, will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy, as
  well as Facebook’s privacy policies. The Facebook Pixel only lasts for
  sixty (60) days. Using the Facebook Pixel, we can also remarket adverts
  to you through Instagram, which is owned by Facebook. You can set
  preferences for how Facebook advertises to you using your Facebook ad preferences.

• Opting Out of Cookies

  You can refuse to accept some or all cookies by modifying
  settings within your browser. For guidance on how to do this, please
  visit http://www.aboutcookies.org. However, if you block strictly
  necessary cookies, you may be unable to access certain parts of our
  Websites. If you wish to opt out of remarketing cookies, please visit
  the Network Advertising Initiative Opt-out Page.

  to. Most commonly, we will use your personal information in the following circumstances:

  • where we need to perform a contract with you (e.g. to create an appointment or to process a payment);

    of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests (see the “Legitimate Interests” section below);
    and

  • provide you with offers for products and services from
    participating Partners, including offers based on variables such as stated and anticipated customer interests, personal characteristics, or

    Partners to add to your favourites page or remind you when it’s time to rebook a service);
  • facilitate and fulfil requests for appointments for Partner offerings, including their purchase and redemption;
  • evaluate eligibility of customers for certain offers, products or services, and evaluate the types of offers, products or services
    that may be of interest to End users;

    your use of the Services for the purposes of displaying advertising and content;

  Your information will be treated in accordance with applicable data protection law.

• 6. Legitimate Interests

  We may rely on legitimate interests to process your personal
  information, provided that your interests do not override our own. Where
  we rely on legitimate interests, these interests are:

  • providing, maintaining, and improving the Services to meet the needs of our End Users and Partners;

• 7. Keeping Your Personal Information Safe

  We employ a variety of physical and technical measures to keep
  your personal information safe and to prevent unauthorised access to,
  use or disclosure of it. Databases are stored on secure servers and we
  control who has access to them (using both physical and electronic
  means).

  Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password
  which enables you to access our Services, you are responsible for
  keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password
  with anyone. We cannot absolutely guarantee the security of the
  internet, external networks, or your own device, accordingly any online
  communications (e.g. information provided by e-mail, through our Website
  or our Apps) are at your own risk.

• 8. Storage and Retention

  Where we store your personal information

  We are a multinational company with group companies in the United
  States, United Kingdom, Australia, Poland, and the United Arab
  Emirates. Where possible, our data is hosted and stored within the
  European Economic Area or with partners protected by Privacy Shield
  agreements. When necessary, the information that we collect from you may
  be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the United
  Kingdom and the European Economic Area (“EEA”), and may
  also be processed by staff operating outside the United Kingdom or the
  EEA who work for us or for one of our partners. Whenever data is
  transferred outside of the UK or EEA, we will take all steps reasonably
  necessary to ensure that any transferred personal information is treated
  securely and in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Data Retention

Creatr will store personal data as long as Partner accounts
continue to use our software, and for a period of not more than 24
months thereafter. Users may elect to have their data removed from
Creatr either by contacting the Partner directly or by contacting users
on Creatr.com. In the case that a Partner explicitly indicates their
intention to cease to use our software and have their data deleted,
personally identifiable information stored with their account shall be
encrypted and/or removed. Other information related to activity on the
Apps will be retained for reporting and analytical purposes, or other
purposes at set forth in Section 9.

9. Disclosing Your Personal Information

Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not
sell, trade, rent, or otherwise share the personal information that we
collect with third parties, unless you ask or authorise us to do so.
However, there are occasions where we may need to disclose your personal
information. Where we do so, any such disclosure will be on the basis
that these third parties are required to keep the information we give
them confidential and secure, and will not use it for any other purpose
than to carry out the services they are performing for us. We may
disclose personal information as follows:

• to affiliated companies (e.g., subsidiaries and other companies owned by or controlled by Creatr);
• to service providers that are hired by us to provide administrative and communication services on our behalf, such as website hosting, the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support, or providing credit card processing services;
• to Partners where you have purchased services from a Partner through Creatr, or participated in an offer, contest or other activity
  sponsored or offered through Creatr on behalf of the Partner. We may also provide Partners with other personal information about you on your Creatr account to send customised offers, to validate the purchases, to aid and troubleshoot redemption, to combat fraud, as part of legal proceedings affecting Creatr and the Partner, to facilitate a direct
  relationship between Partners and customers, and to enable Partners to
  communicate electronically with customers who make purchases from the Partner;
• when you rate or review a Service which you have purchased, your rating, review, photo, your first name and last initial will be published on the Creatr app and may appear on third party websites. For Partners whose businesses have received reviews on the Creatr Marketplace, these reviews may be syndicated on third party websites;
• to business partners and other advertisers as part of an offer, contest, distribution partnership, or other activity that is provided by or in conjunction with Creatr and its business partners and in which you have elected to participate. For example, if you are referred to Creatr from a business partner’s website or through an invitation facilitated by or in conjunction with a Creatr business
  partner, Creatr may provide that business partner with contact information and transactional information;
• to the public when any user of the Creatr app access your favourites page. You may, however, hide this information from the public
  by marking your favourites page as private;
• to third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to
  acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal information in the
  same way as set out in this policy; and
• to our professional advisors

If you are a Partner

We may share some or all of your personal information, including
but not limited to booking information, staff member names, Partner
offerings, ratings and reviews, prices and discounts, appointment
availability, and related data (collectively “Partner Information“)
with end users who have signed up or registered for Creatr and with
Creatr business partners and affiliates with which Creatr is working:

we may feed Partner information to third party websites
(excluding customer lists), which may result in Partner information
appearing on a third-party website, mobile application or in search
engine results; and such results may include a corresponding link to
schedule an appointment through Creatr;
Creatr may contact Partner employees through email to invite them to create a Creatr account with a restricted login;
we may use certain contact information to promote your goods
and services through a variety of online and offline advertising and
promotional media, including, but not limited to Google, Google AdWords,
Facebook Ads, Twitter, e-mail distribution lists, and third-party
business partners and affiliates; or
if you have participated in any joint Partner offerings or
promotions with other Partners, Creatr may disclose your personal
information to its Partners and/or advertisers, as part of such offer,
contest, or other activity that is provided by or in conjunction with
Creatr and its business partners and in which you have elected to
participate.

Aggregated Data

We may use aggregated non-personally identifiable data to:
assist us to better understand how our customers are using the Services,
provide our customers with further information regarding the uses and benefits of the Services,
enhance small business productivity, including by creating
useful business insights from that aggregated data and allowing you to
benchmark your business’s performance against that aggregated data, and
otherwise to improve the Services.

10. Disclosures Required by Law.

We are subject to the law like everyone else. We may be required
to give information to legal and/or regulatory authorities if they so
request, or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search
warrant or court order
We also may need to retain and disclose certain personal
information about you to legal and/or regulatory authorities and to
appropriate agencies to conduct anti-money laundering checks and to
assist with fraud prevention. We will disclose this information as is
required by law.

12. Your Rights

We want you to remain in control of your personal information.
Part of this is making sure you understand your legal rights, which are
as follows:

where your personal information is processed on the basis of consent, the right to withdraw that consent;
the right to confirmation as to whether or not we are holding
any of your personal information and, if we are, to obtain a copy of it;
the right to have inaccurate personal information rectified;
the right to object to your personal information being used
for marketing or profiling, or on the basis of our or a third party’s
legitimate interests;
the right to restrict how your personal information is used; and
the right to be forgotten, which allows you to have your
personal information erased in certain circumstances (though this is not
an absolute right and may not apply if we need to continue using it for
a lawful reason).

Please keep in mind that there are exceptions to the rights above
and, though we will always try to respond to your satisfaction, there
may be situations where we are unable to do so (for example, because the
information no longer exists or there is an exception which applies to
your request).

13. Updating this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. When we do, we
will post a notification on the main page of our Website and we will
also revise the updated date at the bottom of this page. We encourage
users to frequently check this page for any changes to stay informed
about how we are helping to protect the personal information we hold.
