SAVVY PRIVACY POLICY

Hello, and thank you for visiting Savvy!

We appreciate you (really, we mean it), and your privacy is critically important to us.

At Savvy, we have a few fundamental principles that guide our privacy policy and practices:

First off, no one here likes being asked for "personal information", in fact, we think it's quite rude. I mean we don't even KNOW you right? Right. That's why we don't ask for personal information unless it's absolutely needed.
Remember that one girl in high school that was always gossiping about who did what under the bleachers? Well, we didn't like her then, and we don't like her now. With that said, we won't go around gossiping about your information at the watercooler (unless you tell us to or give us permission).
Look, we don't like the "man" keeping any one down... but if we do get contacted by law enforcement or other government officials about your activities, we may have to, in good faith as a public servant (or because the man puts his figurative boot on our neck and forces us) disclose your information to them.
We're here for YOU and all our other users. So at times we may use your information in part of whole or in aggregate that is required for ongoing services or operations, or to help develop better products, services or features, or to protect our rights (gotta look out for our own as well you know).
Lastly, there are no stupid questions. If you have any, just drop us a line. We'd love to hear from you. And if you happen to be in town, drop by, the coffee or beer is on us : )

Without further delay, below is our Privacy Policy, which incorporates those principles mentioned above, and educate you as to the ways in which we collect and use information.

P.S. If you have questions about deleting or correcting your personal data please contact our support team

This Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") explains how Savvy and its associated entities ("Savvy", "us", "our", and "we"), collect and use Aggregate, Anonymous, and Personal Information (as defined below), as well as describes the types of Personal Information we may collect from time to time about you, and how this information will be processed and used by Us. The goal of this Privacy Policy is to provide You with concise, transparent, and readily accessible information about how We process personal data.

It is your responsibility to read and understand how this Privacy Policy affects you and your rights.

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of Savvy, its giveaways, offers, websites, apps, games, browser extensions, and any other experiences offered on, by or through Savvy ("Savvy Sites"), including but not limited to Savvy technology integrated on third-party partner websites, apps or other applications ("Partner Sites"). This Privacy Policy is not applicable and does not apply in situations where Savvy may process your Personal Information on behalf of any Partners in order to enable those partners to serve their own Offers. Each of these Partner offers may have additional privacy policies, notices, and terms independent of Savvy, and it is your responsibility to review and understand those policies when interacting with such Offers.

In the event that any term or condition within this Privacy Policy is in conflict with a previous version of this Privacy Policy, this version shall supersede all previous versions to the extent of the difference.

Who is Savvy? What Does Savvy Do?

Savvy is a media, promotions, giveaway, savings, and entertainment company, offering a wide range of offers, services, and experiences such as sweepstakes, discounts, free products and samples, surveys/polls, coupons, app download invitations, and more, prior to, during and after transactions (collectively, "Offers") from third-party advertisers ("Advertisers"), displayed on or through Savvy Sites and through Savvy communications. Visitors of Savvy Sites and/or promotions may opt to sign up to receive various communications in relation to any such Offers, including by way of email, mail, SMS (text), or phone calls from Advertisers or Partners, as well as from Savvy directly.

What Are The Consequences of Choosing to Sign Up to Offers, or to Ignore Them Completely?

With Savvy, there is NO obligation to sign up to any Offer or Offers. Signing up to Offers may result in us sharing your personal information or data with one or more third parties, including but not limited to Advertisers. Sharing of such information may be necessary for Advertisers, Partners, or Us to provide You with additional information regarding the Offers you expressed interest in, or for other business purposes. Most importantly, there are NO negative consequences for choosing to NOT participate in any Offer, nor are you restricted from access to Savvy Sites by choosing not to participate.

Website Visitors & Browser Extension

We're not one to follow the crowd, but in this case, our website and browser App or Extension, like most other websites and apps, does collect non-personally identifiable information that is made available to us by servers, browsers or other means.

This non-personally identifiable information includes but is not limited to a bunch of boring stuff like the date and timestamp of each visitor request, referring web URLs, your language preferences and browser type. See, told you it was kind of boring.

So why do we collect all that information? Well, in the age of technology, information is king (or queen…your choice). And this data can be used to help provide more useful services and a better experience for you and our other users. That “boring” information helps us to better understand how you and others use and access our services, helping us to improve and tailor our offerings and products to meet the needs of our audience (i.e. that's you) as well as serve other business and operational functions.

At times we may also collect and use information that may be classified as personally identifiable information. This includes information such as the IP address used to log into our services.

What Is Personal Information?

"Personal Information" or "Personal Data" refers to information about yourself that can be:

(i) used to identify who you are, and/or contact or locate you;
(ii) can be combined with other information linked to your person;
(ii) data or information that is defined by laws, rules or regulations of applicable jurisdictions as “personal information”

Examples of Personal Information include but are not limited to the collection, storage, use or disclosure of information about You, such as online information (IP addresses or device identifiers), and contact information (such as a telephone number or email address). Personal Information also includes any other data points that could be used in combination or individually with other information in order to identify an individual (such as postcode, marital status, age or gender).

Collection of Personally-Identifying Information

At times, users of our App, visitors of our sites, and those who accept Offers, may engage with our Sites, App, or Offers in ways that require Us to gather personally identifiable information. The type and extent of such information gathered is dependent on the nature of Your or others' interaction with our Sites Services, and Offers at the time.

For example, users or visitors who wish to obtain a registered account or admin panel may be asked to provide certain login credentials in order to establish such an account.

We do not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described in this Privacy Policy, or other policies pertaining to specific Savvy products, services, or Offers.

Cookies

Personally, we like chocolate chip, preferably hot out of the oven!
