Privacy Policy

Communitee is a UK registered Limited company offering an internet-based service (the “Communitee Service”) that allows campaign creators (“sellers”) to design certain products and promote the sale of those products to consumers (“buyers”) around the world through individual campaigns. This Privacy Policy applies to the Communitee Service, operated by Communitee Ltd and located online at Communitee.co.uk.

This Privacy Policy describes how Communitee collects and uses the information we obtain when you use the Communitee Service. It also describes the choices available to you regarding our use of your Personal Information and how you can access and manage that information. This Privacy Policy is part of and is governed by our Terms of Service, which you accept in order to transact with us. Your acceptance of this Privacy Policy includes your consent to our use of cookies and other similar technologies as described in this document.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide to Us. “Personal Information” means information that alone or in combination with other information may be used to readily identify, contact, or locate you. The Personal Information we collect will be different depending on your activities on the Communitee Service. For example, to register as a seller on our service, we will collect your name and email address. If you register using a sign-in service or a social media platform such as Facebook, we will collect the information needed to authenticate your account and any other information the platform provides in that process. If you launch a successful campaign, we will collect additional Personal Information as needed to provide you with your funds. If you make a purchase through the Communitee Service, we will collect your name, email address and shipping address.

We may also collect Personal Information you provide about other people, such as their name and physical address (for example, when we ship a gift at your request). This Personal Information is used for the sole purpose of completing your request.

Social Media Widgets. The Communitee Service may include social media features, such as the Facebook like button and share buttons. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the features to function properly. Certain social media features are hosted by the applicable provider (e.g. Facebook). Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing the features.

How We Use Your Information

In general, we use Personal Information to provide the Communitee Service to you, including, to establish and administer your account, to fulfill your order and send you an order confirmation, to pay you any funds earned and to respond to customer service requests.

We will retain personal data for the period necessary for the performance of the contract.

If you wish to subscribe to our newsletter(s), we will use your name and email address to send the newsletter to you. You may choose to stop receiving our newsletter or marketing emails by following the unsubscribe instructions included in these emails, accessing the email preferences in your account settings page or you can contact us at info@Communitee.co.uk. You may not opt-out of the transactional emails Communitee sends in connection with your use of the Communitee Service (e.g. email notification of individual account activity, such as shipment of an order, or broader account notifications such as changes to Communitee’s policies).

Communitee processes personal information within the UK. Communitee does not store any card details. We use Stripe (PCI Compliant) to process debit and credit card payments, and we do not have access to those details once payment has been processed.

Information Sharing

We will not rent, sell or share your Personal Information with third parties and specifically will not share your personal information for their direct marketing purposes without your consent.

If you would like to update or modify or remove any personal information you have provided to us, you can do this by contacting our Data Protection Officer by email at info@communitee.co.uk.

Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use Personal Information from children under 13 years of age without parental consent, and no part of the Communitee Service is directed to children under the age of 13. If you learn that your child has provided us with Personal Information without your consent, you may alert us at info@Communitee.co.uk.

Data Retention

We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us. We have a mandatory requirement to report any data breaches within 72 hours to the regulatory body and provide a mandatory privacy impact assessment.
