reporting for us and our advertisers.

otherwise comply with applicable court orders, laws, rules and regulations.

● To personalize your experience (your information helps us to better respond to your individual needs)
● To improve our website (we continually strive to improve our website offerings based on the information
and feedback we receive from you)
● To improve customer service (your information helps us to more effectively respond to your customer

How Do We Use Your Email Address?
By submitting your email address on this website, you agree to receive emails from us. You can cancel your
participation in any of these email lists at any time by clicking on the opt-out link or other unsubscribe option
that is included in the respective email. We only send emails to people who have authorized us to contact
them, either directly, or through a third party. We do not send unsolicited commercial emails, because we
hate spam as much as you do. By submitting your email address, you also agree to allow us to use your
email address for customer audience targeting on sites like Facebook, where we display custom advertising
to specific people who have opted-in to receive communications from us. Email addresses submitted only
through the order processing page will be used for the sole purpose of sending you information and updates
pertaining to your order. If, however, you have provided the same email to us through another method, we
may use it for any of the purposes stated in this Policy. Note: If at any time you would like to unsubscribe
from receiving future emails, we include detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email.
How Long Do We Keep Your Information?
We keep your information only so long as we need it to provide Social Dazzle to you and fulfill the purposes
described in this policy. This is also the case for anyone that we share your information with and who carries
out services on our behalf. When we no longer need to use your information and there is no need for us to
keep it to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, we’ll either remove it from our systems or
depersonalize it so that we can’t identify you.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you
place an order or enter, submit, or access your personal information. We offer the use of a secure server. All
supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then
encrypted into our Payment gateway providers database only to be accessible by those authorized with
special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. After a
transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) is never kept on
file. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the absolute security of any information you transmit to Social
Dazzle or guarantee that your information on the Service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or
destroyed by a breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
Could my Information be Transferred to Other Countries?
Social Dazzle is incorporated in Botswana. Information collected via our website, through direct interactions
with you, or from use of our help services may be transferred from time to time to our offices or personnel, or
to third parties, located throughout the world, and may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world,
including countries that may not have laws of general applicability regulating the use and transfer of such
data. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, by using any of the above, you voluntarily consent to
the trans-border transfer and hosting of such information.
Is the Information Collected Through Social Dazzle Service Secure?
We take precautions to protect the security of your information. We have physical, electronic, and managerial
procedures to help safeguard, prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use your
information. However, neither people nor security systems are foolproof, including encryption systems. In
addition, people can commit intentional crimes, make mistakes or fail to follow policies. Therefore, while we
use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If
applicable law imposes any non-disclaimable duty to protect your personal information, you agree that
intentional misconduct will be the standards used to measure our compliance with that duty.
Can I Update or Correct my Information?
The rights you have to request updates or corrections to the information Social Dazzle collects depend on
your relationship with Social Dazzle. Personnel may update or correct their information as detailed in our
internal company employment policies.
Customers have the right to request the restriction of certain uses and disclosures of personally identifiable
information as follows. You can contact us in order to (1) update or correct your personally identifiable
information, (2) change your preferences with respect to communications and other information you receive
from us, or (3) delete the personally identifiable information maintained about you on our systems (subject to
the following paragraph), by cancelling your account. Such updates, corrections, changes and deletions will
have no effect on other information that we maintain, or information that we have provided to third parties in
accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such update, correction, change or deletion. To protect your
privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your
identity before granting you profile access or making corrections. You are responsible for maintaining the
secrecy of your unique password and account information at all times.
You should be aware that it is not technologically possible to remove each and every record of the
information you have provided to us from our system. The need to back up our systems to protect
information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your information may exist in a non-erasable form
that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate. Promptly after receiving your request, all personal
information stored in databases we actively use, and other readily searchable media will be updated,
corrected, changed or deleted, as appropriate, as soon as and to the extent reasonably and technically
practicable.
If you are an end user and wish to update, delete, or receive any information we have about you, you may do
so by contacting the organization of which you are a customer.
Personnel

screen applicants.

respect to communications and other information you receive from us, or (3) receive a record of the

this Privacy Policy prior to such update, correction, change or deletion.

all or substantially all of the assets of Social Dazzle or any of its Corporate Affiliates (as defined herein), or
that portion of Social Dazzle or any of its Corporate Affiliates to which the Service relates, or in the event that

Affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Information about General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
We may be collecting and using information from you if you are from the European Economic Area (EEA),
and in this section of our Privacy Policy we are going to explain exactly how and why is this data collected,
and how we maintain this data under protection from being replicated or used in the wrong way.
What is GDPR?
GDPR is an EU-wide privacy and data protection law that regulates how EU residents’ data is protected by
companies and enhances the control the EU residents have, over their personal data.
The GDPR is relevant to any globally operating company and not just the EU-based businesses and EU
residents. Our customers’ data is important irrespective of where they are located, which is why we have
implemented GDPR controls as our baseline standard for all our operations worldwide.
What is Personal Data?
Any data that relates to an identifiable or identified individual. GDPR covers a broad spectrum of information
that could be used on its own, or in combination with other pieces of information, to identify a person.
Personal data extends beyond a person’s name or email address. Some examples include financial
information, political opinions, genetic data, biometric data, IP addresses, physical address, sexual
orientation, and ethnicity.
The Data Protection Principles include requirements such as:
● Personal data collected must be processed in a fair, legal, and transparent way and should only be
used in a way that a person would reasonably expect.
● Personal data should only be collected to fulfil a specific purpose and it should only be used for that
purpose. Organizations must specify why they need the personal data when they collect it.
● Personal data should be held no longer than necessary to fulfil its purpose.
● People covered by the GDPR have the right to access their own personal data. They can also request a
copy of their data, and that their data be updated, deleted, restricted, or moved to another organization.
Why is GDPR Important?
GDPR adds some new requirements regarding how companies should protect individuals’ personal data that
they collect and process. It also raises the stakes for compliance by increasing enforcement and imposing
greater fines for breach. Beyond these facts it’s simply the right thing to do. At Social Dazzle we strongly
believe that your data privacy is very important and we already have solid security and privacy practices in
place that go beyond the requirements of this new regulation.
Individual Data Subject's Rights - Data Access, Portability and Deletion
We are committed to helping our customers meet the data subject rights requirements of GDPR. Social
Dazzle processes or stores all personal data in fully vetted, DPA compliant vendors. We do store all
conversation and personal data for up to 6 years unless your account is deleted. In which case, we dispose
of all data in accordance with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, but we will not hold it longer than 60
days.
We are aware that if you are working with EU customers, you need to be able to provide them with the ability
to access, update, retrieve and remove personal data. We got you! We’ve been set up as self service from
the start and have always given you access to your data and your customers data. Our customer support
team is here for you to answer any questions you might have about working with the API.
