PRIVACY POLICY

Effective date: February 12, 2018

Hello, and welcome to PO-LING POWER. This is our Privacy Policy – it applies whenever you access our Platform or use our Service. In each case, you consent to the processing and use of data by the entities described in this Privacy Policy, including iD, as Data Controller, as indicated at the bottom of this document (collectively, “iD”, “we”, “us”, “our”). This Privacy Policy helps you to make informed decisions about your relationship with us, so please read it carefully.

Your agreement with us, which includes this Privacy Policy, our Terms of Use, and any additional terms that you agree to, as discussed in the Entire Agreement section, are referred to together as the “Agreements”. If you wish to review the terms of the Agreements, the effective version of the Agreements can be found on the Platform. By accessing the Platform and using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Agreements, accept these Agreements, including any Changes to the Agreements, and agree to be bound by them. If you don’t agree with or cannot comply with each of the Agreements, then you may not access our Platform or use our Service.

This Privacy Policy describes: what information we collect, how we collect it, and why; how we use that information and with whom we share it; how you can access and update that information; the choices you can make about how we collect, use, and share your information; and how we protect the information we store about you.

1.   Information We Collect

We may collect and store the following information—

1.1.   Registration Data

When you sign up for the Service, we’ll ask you for your name, email address and a password. That’s all you need to register! If you connect to the Service using credentials from another application such as, say, Facebook or LinkedIn (we’ll call these “third party applications”), you authorize us to collect your authentication information, such as your username and encrypted access credentials on such third party application. We may also collect other information available on or through your third party application account, including, for example, your name, profile picture and email address.

1.2.   Usage, Log Data & Cookies

When you use or interact with the Service, we may use a variety of technologies that collect information about how the Service is accessed and used. This information may include:

1.  information about your type of subscription and your interactions with the Service, such as interactions with other content and/or iD users, third party applications, and advertising, products, and services which are offered, linked to, or made available on or through the Platform;

2.  details of the queries you make and the date and time of such queries;

3.  User Contributions, including messages you send and/or receive via the Service; and

4.  technical data, which may include URL information, cookie data, your IP address, the types of devices you are using to access or connect to the iD Service, unique device ID, device attributes, network connection type (e.g., WiFi, 3G, LTE) and provider, network and device performance, browser type, operating system, and our application version.

1.3.   Your Mobile Device

We may provide features that rely on the use of additional information on your mobile device or require access to certain services on your mobile device that will enhance your iD experience but are not required to use the Service. For example, we may allow you to upload photos to your profile or connect with other iD users. However, for each type of information listed in this section, before we access such information or relevant features of your mobile device, we will ask for your explicit permission. If you provide such permission, we will collect the information for the specific purposes explained at the time we ask for your permission. You don’t have to give us such permission in order to use the Service, and acceptance of this Privacy Policy doesn’t mean you have granted us permission to access this information.

So you know, we’ll never gather, access, scan, import or use any of the following without first getting your explicit permission:

1.4.   Widget Data

Other websites may integrate iD widgets. If they do, and when you visit such a website, we may receive certain information, including information about the web page you visited. iD and the widget can recognize you, and the widget may be used to show personalized content or advertising. In such cases, we know when you interact with a widget, and websites containing the widgets may receive this information.

1.5.   iD Service Providers and Partners

We may also receive information about you from our service providers and partners, which we use to personalize your iD experience, to measure ad quality and responses to ads, and to display ads that are more likely to be relevant to you. We also use this information as explained in the section How We Use the Information We Collect below.

2.   How We Use the Information We Collect

Consistent with the permissions you give us to collect the information, we may use the information we collect, including your personal information, for the following:

1.  to provide, personalize, and improve your experience with the Service and products, services, and advertising (including for products and services offered by other companies) made available on or outside the Service (including on other sites that you visit), for example by providing customized, personalized, or localized content, recommendations, features, and advertising on or outside of the Service;

2.  to ensure technical functionality of the Service, develop new products and services, and analyze your use of the Service, including your interaction with applications, advertising, products, and services that are made available, linked to, or offered through the Service;

3.  to communicate with you for Service-related or research purposes including via emails, notifications, text messages, or other messages, which you agree to receive;

4.  to communicate with you, either directly or through one of our partners, for marketing and promotional purposes via emails, notifications, or other messages, consistent with any permissions you may have communicated to us (e.g., through your iD account settings); in the section Sharing Information below, we inform you of the controls you can use to opt out from receiving certain messages;

5.  to enable and promote the Service and other services or products, either within or outside the Service, including features and content of the Service and products and services made available through the Service;

6.  to process payments or prevent or detect fraud;

7.  to enforce this Privacy Policy, the Agreements, and any other terms that you have agreed to, including to protect the rights, property, or safety of iD, its users, or any other person, or the copyright-protected content of the Service;

8.  to provide you with features, information, advertising, or other content which is influenced by your location and your location in relation to other iD users; and

9.  as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy.

3.   Sharing Information

Now let’s talk about how all the information that is collected or generated through your use of the Service may be shared by you or by us. You can set your sharing preferences with others and manage notifications in 3 places -- Settings, Profile and Goals. Don’t forget though, any information you share with a third party application is viewable on iD regardless of how you set up your preferences in Settings, Profile and Goals.

You probably already know this but we thought we’d remind you – even if you remove a post, others who already have access to it (e.g., via a link or third party applications) may still maintain access to it. Also keep in mind that posts and other information added to your Profile may include personal information, such as username, which could enable others to find you within the Platform or other services. If something is truly private, you may not wish to have it on the Platform. Even with best practices, once something is on the Internet, we can’t guarantee it won’t be copied or disseminated.

3.1. Sharing by You

The Service offers many ways for you to find, enjoy, and share content. We encourage you to take advantage of these social features with other iD users, including Allies, on the Service – keep in mind, when you make an organization an ally, you get to decide whether or not you want them to view information that is not viewable to other iD users by tweaking your Settings. We provide many choices about the collection, use and sharing of your data.

If you connect your iD account to a third party application, iD may automatically share your information such as your name and e-mail address, activity and activity-related stories with that service, including the content you consume. Also, certain information may be available to third party applications, which means that it may be accessed by them through our APIs (that stands for application programming interface, which is computer jargon for software that enables two programs or websites to communicate with each other) and developer tools. Based on your explicit permission, some additional information may be shared with third party applications and with others through third party applications. You understand and agree that all such information may be attributed to your account on the third party application and may be published on such service. These third party applications may also provide similar controls. You understand and agree that a third party application’s use of information collected from you (or as authorized by you) is governed by such third party application’s privacy policies and your settings on the relevant service, and iD’s use of such information is governed by the Agreements.

We may use your information to promote the Service and to help others find and engage with you, including through Facebook, LinkedIn or other third party application s and on websites that embed iD widgets. Your information may be used to notify others, including within the Service, via email, or through Facebook, LinkedIn or other third party applications, about your use of the Service (e.g., that you have joined iD or activity related to an iD profile.)

While we hope you’ll remain a lifelong member of the iD community, if for whatever reason you ever want a break from us and want to deactivate your account, just go here. Once you deactivate your account, your account won’t be visible to or searchable by other iD users. We’ll retain all the information you have provided to us on the Platform and through the Service even after your account is deactivated. Then again, you may miss us – if you want to reactivate your account, simply log back into the Service!

3.2.   Information iD May Share

3.2.1.   Marketing and advertising

We may share aggregated and anonymized information with organizations you tag as Allies, advertising partners for promotional communications, including advertising for products and services that we think may be of interest to you, and to help us understand how you and other iD users interact with advertisements.

Check out the Information About Cookies, Other Technologies, and Third-Party Data Collection section for information about cookies and other technologies that we and others use to show you more ads for stuff that is likely to appeal to you and your options as to how to deal with them.

3.2.2.   Service Providers and Others

We may sometimes share your information with others who help keep the Service and Platform up and running smoothly and who help process user data . For example, we work with hosting companies like Amazon Web Services, Inc. to host our Platform and analytics companies such as Google Analytics to help us understand how people are using our Services. When somebody other than us is handling data for us (e.g., a hosting company), we require them to have security and confidentiality obligations in place that are in keeping with this Privacy Policy and any applicable law.

3.2.3.   Content Owners

The Service may allow you access to video content that others own and have allowed us to show you. iD shares information with the people that license this content to us. The data that iD shares is in a de-identified format that doesn’t identify you directly, unless you opt-in to sharing your personal information.

3.2.4.   Other Sharing

In addition to the above, we may also share your information with others for these limited purposes:

4.   Links

We may display advertisements from third parties and other content that links to third party websites. We can’t control or be held responsible for third parties’ privacy practices and content. Please read their privacy policies to find out how they collect and process your information.

5.   How Secure Is My Data?

We are committed to protecting our users’ information. Your password protects your user account, so you should use a unique and strong password, limit access to your computer and browser, and log out after having used the iD Service. While we take data protection precautions, no security measures are completely secure, and we don’t guarantee the security of any user information.

6.   What About Children?

The iD Service is not intended for, and not directed to, children under the age of 13. And that’s why we don’t knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13, don’t use the Service and don’t provide any personal information to us. If you are a parent of a child under 13 and become aware that your child has provided personal information to iD, please contact us at support@po-lingpower.com and you may request exercise of your applicable access, rectification, cancellation, and/or objection rights. If you are a California resident under the age of 18 and you wish to remove publicly available content, please contact us at support@po-lingpower.com.

7.   How Do I Update My Information or Change My Preferences

You can view and modify much of your information on our Platform through Settings, Profile and Goals. If you have questions about your privacy on the Service, this Privacy Policy, or information we have about you, please contact us at support@po-lingpower.com. We will respond to your request within a reasonable period of time upon verification of your identity in accordance with local laws.

8.   Information About Cookies, Other Technologies and Third-Party Data Collection

This section describes use of cookies and other technologies. And we said above, Sharing Information section is great to learn more about how information may be shared by iD.

We and our partners use various technologies to collect and store information when you access our Platform or use our Service, and this may include using cookies or other technologies to identify your browser or device. We also use these technologies to collect and store information when you interact with services we offer to our partners, such as advertising services or iD features that may appear on other sites. 

8.1.   So What are Cookies and Other Technologies?

A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your computer, mobile phone, or other device when you visit a website. The cookie will help website providers to recognize your device the next time you visit their website. There are other similar technologies such as web beacons, mobile device identifiers and pixel tags (transparent graphic images placed on a web page or in an email, which indicate that a page or email has been viewed), web bugs (similar to pixel tags), and web storage, which are used in desktop software or mobile devices.

8.2.   And How Do We Use These Cookies and Other Technologies?

We use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them). We and our related companies, vendors and other partners use cookies and other identification technologies on our websites, mobile applications, electronic communications, advertisements, and other parts of our Service for a number of purposes, including: authenticating users, remembering user preferences and settings, administering the Platform, determining the popularity of content, delivering and measuring the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising services, analyzing site traffic and trends, improving our product and Service and generally understanding the online behaviors and interests of people who interact with our Service.

We also use mobile device identifiers and the other technologies identified in Section 8.1 for the purposes articulated in this Privacy Policy, for example to recognize your device when you return to our app or otherwise use the Services.

8.3.   How Can I Manage My Preferences for Cookies and Other Technologies?

Many web browsers allow you to manage your preferences. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or delete certain cookies. You may be able to manage other technologies in the same way that you manage cookies using your browser’s preferences. Please note that if you choose to block cookies, doing so may impair the Service or prevent certain elements of it from functioning.

There is no accepted standard on how to respond to Do Not Track signals, and we don’t respond to such signals.

On your mobile device, you may also have a “Limit Ad Tracking” setting (on iOS devices) or a setting to “Opt out of Interest-Based Ads” (on Android) which allows you to limit the use of information about your use of apps for purposes of serving ads targeted to your interests.

Please note that even if you opt out using the mechanisms above, you may still receive advertisements when using the Service.

We work with advertising partners to serve advertisements on the iD Service. One of the services we use to track activity related to the Service, e.g., by placing cookies, is Google Analytics. We may use vendors, including Google, who use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on your past visits to our websites, including Google Analytics for Display Advertising. Google provides tools to manage the collection and use of certain information by Google Analytics at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and by Google Analytics for Display Advertising or the Google Display Network by using Google’s Ads Settings at google.com/settings/ads.

You hereby consent to the use of the cookies and other technologies described above.
