IX. Information Collected From Other Websites and Mobile Applications and Do Not Track Policy

Through cookies We place on Your browser or device, We and our partners may collect information about Your online activity after You leave the Service. Just like any other usage information We collect, this information allows Us to improve the Service and customize Your online experience, and otherwise as described in this privacy policy. Your browser may offer You a “Do Not Track” option, which allows You to signal to operators of websites and mobile applications and services (including behavioral advertising services) that You do not wish such operators to track certain of Your online activities over time and/or across different websites and mobile applications and services. The Service does not support Do Not Track requests at this time, which means that We collect information about Your online activity both while You are using the Service and after You leave the Service.

 

 

X. Children

We do not knowingly collect personal information from an individual under age 16.  If You are under the age of 16, please do not submit any personal information through the Service.  If You have reason to believe that We may have accidentally received personal information from an individual under age 16, please contact Us immediately at privacy@flipp.com.

XIV. Your State Privacy Rights

California, Colorado, Connecticut, and Virginia consumers have certain rights with respect to the collection and use of their personal information. Those rights vary by state. As required by the CCPA, we provide detailed information below regarding the data subject rights available to California consumers. Consumers in Colorado, Connecticut, and Virginia have similar rights and can find more detail below and by referencing the applicable statute in their respective states.

 

 

Section 1798.83 of the California Civil Code permits California residents to request from a business, with whom the California resident has an established business relationship, certain information about the types of personal information the business has shared with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of the third parties with whom the business has shared such information during the immediately preceding calendar year.  You may make one request each year by emailing Us at privacy@flipp.com or writing Us at 350-3250 Bloor Street West, East Tower, Bloor Islington Place, Toronto, ON M8X 2X9. 

 

 

Residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, and Virginia also have the right to request that we (a) delete all personal information; (b) provide a copy of all personal information we collected; or (c) opt them out of any sale of their personal information (see: DO NOT SELL MY PERSONAL INFORMATION). If you are a resident of one of these states who would like to exercise one of these rights, please fill out the form found HERE (also available from within the Flipp mobile application), or reach out to ccparequests@flipp.com (for California residents) or privacy@flipp.com for assistance. Residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, and Virginia can also opt out of the sharing of their personal information by visiting the links provided above under the Ad Choices / Do Not Share My Personal Information heading. Please note that residents of Colorado, Connecticut, and Virginia also have the right to appeal a decision we make about their data subject requests. If you are a resident of one of those states and you choose to appeal a decision, please email privacy@flipp.com stating in the subject line that your request is an “Appeal” and describing, in the body of the email, the date and nature of your original request.

 

 

Residents of California can Limit the Use of Their Sensitive Personal Information by opening the ‘Settings’ page on the Flipp or reebee application and tapping the icon under ‘Location’ to turn off precise geolocation tracking.

 

You shall not be discriminated against as a result of your choice to exercise these rights, however certain account and personalization functionality may be lost as a result of your request to delete your information or opt-out of sale of your information.

 

In accordance with applicable law, we are required to verify your identity before processing a request for deletion or request for information. We will attempt to do so based on your account information (where applicable) and the information you provide when submitting the request, however there may be instances where we do not have sufficient personal information about you in order to reasonably verify your identity. In such cases, we will let you know and treat a request for deletion as a do not sell request, as required by applicable law.
