USER PRIVACY STATEMENT

Effective Date: July 1, 2017

Fledge is a social networking and communication platform that collects information about you when you use our mobile applications, websites, and other online products and services (collectively, the “Platform”) and through other interactions and communications you have with us. If you reside in the United States, the Services are provided by Fledge Connect, Inc. (“Fledge”), and this Privacy Statement applies to information collected and used by Fledge whether you are in the Unites States or outside of the United States.

  1. Scope and Application. This Privacy Statement (“Statement”) applies to persons anywhere in the world who use the Platform (“Users”).
  2. Collection of Information
    • Information You Provide to Us. We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you create or modify your account, contact customer support, or otherwise communicate with us. This information may include: name, email, phone number, employer, postal address, profile picture, payment method and other information you choose to provide.
    • Information We Collect Through Your Use of Our Services. When you use our Services, we collect information about you in the following general categories:
      • Location Information: When you use the Services, we collect precise location data about you from the Fledge app. If you permit the Fledge app to access location services through the permission system used by your mobile operating system (“platform”), we may also collect the precise location of your device when the app is running in the foreground or background. We may also derive your approximate location from your IP address.
      • Contacts Information: If you permit the Fledge app to access the address book on your device through the permission system used by your mobile platform, we may access and store names and contact information from your address book to facilitate social interactions through our Services and for other purposes described in this Statement or at the time of consent or collection.
      • Transaction Information: We collect transaction details related to your use of the SkyCap feature or links to third party service providers.
      • Usage and Preference Information: We collect information about how you and site visitors interact with our Services, preferences expressed, and settings chosen. In some cases we do this through the use of cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies that create and maintain unique identifiers.
      • Device Information: We may collect information about your mobile device, including, for example, the hardware model, operating system and version, software and file names and verions, preferred language, unique device identifier, advertising identifiers, serial number, device motion information, and mobile network information.
      • Chat Feature: Our Services facilitate communications between Fledge members in conjunction with the chat feature. In connection with facilitating this service, we receive chat data, including the date and time of the chat message and the content of the SMS message.
      • Log Information: When you interact with the Services, we collect server logs, which may include information like device IP address, access dates and times, app features or pages viewed, app crashes and other system activity, type of browser, and the third-party site or service you were using before interacting with our Services.
    • Important Information About Platform Permissions. Most mobile platforms (iOS, Android, etc.) have defined certain types of device data that apps cannot access without your consent. And these platforms have different permission systems for obtaining your consent. The iOS platform will alert you the first time the Fledge app wants permission to access certain types of data and will let you consent (or not consent) to that request. Android devices will notify you of the permissions that the Fledge app seeks before you first use the app, and your use of the app constitutes your consent.
    • Information We Collect From Other Sources. We may also receive information from other sources and combine that with information we collect through our Services. For example, if you choose to link, create, or log in to your Fledge account with a payment provider (e.g., Google Wallet) or social media service (e.g., Facebook), or if you engage with a separate app or website that uses our API (or whose API we use), we may receive information about you or your connections from that site or app.
  3. Use of Information. We may use the information we collect about you to:
    • Provide, maintain, and improve our Services, including, for example, to facilitate payments, send receipts, provide products and services you request (and send related information), develop new features, and provide customer support;
    • Perform internal operations, including, for example, to prevent fraud and abuse of our Services; to troubleshoot software bugs and operational problems; to conduct data analysis, testing, and research; and to monitor and analyze usage and activity trends;
    • Send or facilitate communications between you and another Fledge Member;
    • Send you communications we think will be of interest to you, including information about products, services, promotions, news, and events of Fledge and other companies, where permissible and according to local applicable laws; and to process contest, sweepstake, or other promotion entries and fulfill any related awards;
    • Personalize and improve the Services, including to provide or recommend features, content, social connections, referrals, and advertisements.
  4. Sharing of Information. We may share the information we collect about you as described in this Statement or as described at the time of collection or sharing, including as follows:
    • With third parties to provide you a service you requested through a partnership or promotional offering made by a third party or us;
    • With the general public if you submit content in a public forum, such as blog comments, social media posts, or other features of our Services that are viewable by the general public; and
    • With third parties with whom you choose to let us share information, for example other apps or websites that integrate with our API or Services, or those with an API or Service with which we integrate.
    • With Fledge subsidiaries and affiliated entities that provide services or conduct data processing on our behalf, or for data centralization and / or logistics purposes;
    • With vendors, consultants, marketing partners, and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work on our behalf;

  5. Social Sharing Features. The Services may integrate with social sharing features and other related tools which let you share actions you take on our Services with other apps, sites, or media, and vice versa. Your use of such features enables the sharing of information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the social sharing service. Please refer to the privacy policies of those social sharing services for more information about how they handle the data you provide to or share through them.
  6. Analytics and Advertising Services Provided by Others. We may allow others to provide audience measurement and analytics services for us, to serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet, and to track and report on the performance of those advertisements. These entities may use cookies, web beacons, SDKs, and other technologies to identify your device when you visit our site and use our Services, as well as when you visit other online sites and services.
  7. Your Ability to Change Your Settings
    • Account Information. You may correct your account information at any time by logging into your online or in-app account.
    • Access Rights. Fledge will comply with individual’s requests regarding access, correction, and/or deletion of the personal data it stores in accordance with applicable law.
    • Location Information. We request permission for our app’s collection of precise location from your device per the permission system used by your mobile operating system. If you initially permit the collection of this information, you can later disable it by changing the location settings on your mobile device. However, this will limit your ability to use certain features of our Services.
    • Contact Information. We may also seek permission for our app’s collection and syncing of contact information from your device per the permission system used by your mobile operating system. If you initially permit the collection of this information, iOS users can later disable it by changing the contacts settings on your mobile device. The Android platform does not provide such a setting.
    • Promotional Communications. You may opt out of receiving promotional messages from us by following the instructions in those messages. If you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional communications, such as those about your account, about Services you have requested, or our ongoing business relations.
    • Your California Privacy Rights. California law permits residents of California to request certain details about how their information is shared with third parties for direct marketing purposes. Fledge does not share your personally identifiable information with third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes unless you provide us with consent to do so.
    • Cookies and Advertising. Fledge or third parties we contract with may use persistent identifiers such as cookies, embedded scripts, tracking pixels, beacons, tags and similar technologies for a number of purposes, such as to provide easier site navigation, access to forms, analytics and advertising. Also, cookies may also be used to track how you use the site or Platform to target ads to you on other websites.
  8. Changes to the Statement. We may change this Statement from time to time. If we make significant changes in the way we treat your personal information, or to the Statement, we will provide you notice through the Services or by some other means, such as email. Your continued use of the Services after such notice constitutes your consent to the changes. We encourage you to periodically review the Statement for the latest information on our privacy practices.
