Fready Terms
Definitions
These definitions should help you understand this policy. When we say “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Fready,” we are referring to Fready. We provide online platforms that you may use to market to or stay in contact with others, including creating, and promoting marketing messages and other information related to your Visitors (the “Services”). When we say “User,” we are referring to the person or entity that is registered with us to use the Services. When we say “you,” we are referring either to a User or to some other person who visits any of our Websites. A “Visitor” is a person who visits your website and interacts with our Services. “Personal Information” means any information that identifies or can be used to identify you or a Visitor, directly or indirectly, including, but not limited to, first and last name, date of birth, email address, gender, occupation or other demographic information. We offer the Services on at least our website fready.co, our Web app and our Google Chrome Extension. This Privacy Policy applies to these specific websites, as well as any other sites or applications owned or operated by us (each a “Website” and together the “Websites”). The “Websites” include the Websites themselves, and any web pages, interactive features, applications, widgets, blogs, social networks, social network “tabs,” or other online, mobile, or wireless offerings that post a link to this Privacy Policy, whether accessed via computer, mobile device, or other technology, manner or means. While providing the Services, and as described in more detail below, we may collect Personal Information about a Website visitor, User, person or email address on or related to a Visitor List, or Visitor. The “Google Chrome Extension” refers to the Google Chrome Browser add-on which can be found on the Google Chrome Web Store https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions .
We collect the following information:
1. Information you voluntarily provide to us: When you sign up for and use the Services, consult with our customer service team, send us an email, post on our blog, integrate the Services with another website or service (for example, when you choose to connect your Google Chrome Browser account with Fready), or communicate with us in any way, you are voluntarily giving us information that we collect. That information may include either your or your Visitors’ name, physical address, email address, IP address, phone number, credit card information, as well as details including gender, occupation, location, purchase history, and other demographic information. By giving us this information, you consent to this information being collected, used, disclosed, as described in our Terms of Service and in this Privacy Policy. 2. The information we collect may be "personally identifiable" (meaning it can be used to specifically identify you as a unique person) or "non‐personally identifiable" (meaning it can't be used to specifically identify you). We use both types of information, and combinations of both types, as described below. 3. Whenever you use our web application there's certain information that gets created and recorded in an automated way. This information we collect includes: a. Log Data. When you use our web application our servers automatically record information about your interaction with our Services ("log data"), including information that your browser sends whenever you use it to access our Website. This log data may include your Internet Protocol address, the address of the web page you were visiting before you came to our Website, browser type and settings, the date and time of your request, and how you used the web application. We may also use "cookies" (a small text file sent by your computer each time you visit our website, unique to your Fready account or your browser), or similar technologies to record log data. When we use cookies, we may use "session" cookies (that last until you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (that last until you or your browser delete them). For example, we may use cookies to store your language preferences or other Fready settings so you don't have to set them up every time you visit our web application. b. Information on the visitors interacting with our Services including information such as: a) name, b) email, c) social profile. c. Device Information. In addition to log data, we may also collect information about the device you're using Fready app on, including what type of device it is, what operating system you're using, device settings, unique device identifiers, and crash data. Whether we collect some or all of this information often depends on what type of device you're using and its settings. d. Social Profile. In addition to the core data, we also collect information about the social profile of the user, such as FacebookID or TwitterID. We utilize that data to uniquely identify leads and avoid duplications in our Database. Users have the absolute right to delete all their leads throughout our Web App. We may collect this information as a part of log files as well as through the use of cookies or other tracking technologies. Our use of cookies and other tracking technologies is discussed more below, and in more detail in our Cookie Statement. 4. Cookies and tracking: We may use various technologies to collect and store information when you use our Services, and this may include using cookies and similar tracking technologies on our Website, such as pixels and web beacons, to analyze trends, administer the website, track users’ movements around the website, serve targeted advertisements, and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. Users can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. We partner with third parties to display advertising on our website or to manage and serve our advertising on other sites. For more information about our use of cookies and other tracking technologies, as well as how to opt out of the use of cookies, please refer to our Cookie Statement. 5. Web beacons: We use web beacons on our Websites, emails and widgets. When we send emails to our users, we may track behavior such as who opened the emails and who clicked the links. This allows us to measure the performance of our email campaigns and to improve our features for specific segments of Users. To do this, we include single pixel gifs, also called web beacons, in emails we send. Web beacons allow us to collect information about when you open the email, your IP address, your browser or email client type, and other similar details. We also include Web Beacons in the emails we deliver for you. We use the data from those Web Beacons to create reports about how your email campaign performed and what actions your Visitors took. Reports are also available to us when we send email to you, so we may collect and review that information. 6. Information from other sources: From time to time we may obtain information about you or your Visitors from third party sources, such as public databases, social media platforms, third party data providers and our joint marketing partners. We take steps to ensure that such third parties are legally permitted or required to disclose such information to us. Examples of the information we may receive from other sources include: demographic information, device information (such as IP addresses), location, and online behavioral data (such as information about your use of social media websites, page view information and search results and links). We use this information, alone or in combination with other information (including Personal Information) we collect, to enhance our ability to provide relevant marketing and content to you and to develop and provide you with more relevant product features, and services.
We may use Personal Information for a range of reasons, including:
1. To promote use of our services to you and others. If you use any of our services and we think you might benefit from using another service we offer, we may send you an email about that.

We use third parties for secure credit card transaction processing, and we send billing information to those third parties to process your orders and credit card payments. 4. To send you system alert messages. For example, we may inform you of temporary or permanent changes to our services, such as planned outages, new features, version updates, releases, abuse warnings, and changes to our terms and policies. 5.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Information (EEA Persons Only)
If you are from the European Economic Area, our legal basis for collecting and using the Personal Information described above will depend on the Personal Information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we will normally collect and use Personal Information from you where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data-protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. Typically, our legitimate interests include improving, maintaining, providing, and enhancing our technology, products, and services; ensuring the security of the Services and our Websites; and for our marketing activities. If you are a User, we may need the Personal Information to perform a contract with you. In some limited cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect Personal Information from you. If we ask you to provide Personal Information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contact with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your Personal Information is mandatory or not, as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your Personal Information. Where required by law, we will collect Personal Information only where we have your consent to do so.
Your Choices and Opt-Outs
Users and Website visitors who have opted in to our marketing emails or Facebook Messenger notifications can opt out of receiving marketing emails or Messenger notifications from us at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of our marketing messages or writing “Unsubscribe” or “Stop” on Messenger. Also, all opt-out requests can be made by emailing us at hellofready@gmail.com. Please note that some communications (such as service messages, account notifications, billing information) are considered transactional and necessary for account management, and Users cannot opt out of these messages unless you cancel your Fready account.
Our Security
We take appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the Personal Information. If you have any questions about the security of your Personal Information, you may contact us at hellofready@gmail.com. Fready accounts may require a username and password to log in if chosen by the user over a third party option such as “Google Sign-In” . Users must keep their username and password secure, and never disclose it to a third party. Because the information in a User’s Fready account is so sensitive, account passwords are hashed, which means we cannot see a Fready’ password. We cannot resend forgotten passwords either. We will only provide Users with instructions on how to reset them.
What choices do you have about your information?
If you have a Fready account, many of the choices you have about your information are built directly into the product or your account settings. For example, you can: 1. Access and change information in your profile page at any time, and choose whether your profile page is available to search engines; 2. Link or unlink your Fready account from an account on another service (e.g., Facebook or Twitter). For some services (like Facebook), you can also choose whether or not to publish your activity on Fready to that service. 3. Close your account at any time. When you close your account, we'll deactivate it and remove your content from our Web Application. We may retain archived copies of your information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes (including to help address fraud and spam). 4. You may have choices available to you through the device or software you use to access our Web application. For example: The browser you use may provide you with the ability to control cookies or other types of local data storage; To learn more about these choices, please see the information provided by the device or software provider.
Retention of Data
We retain Personal Information where we have an ongoing legitimate business or legal need to do so. Our retention periods will vary depending on the type of data involved, but, generally, we'll refer to these criteria in order to determine retention period: 1. Whether we have a legal or contractual need to retain the data. 2. Whether the data is necessary to provide our Services. 3. Whether our Users have the ability to access and delete the data within their Fready accounts. 4. Whether our Users would reasonably expect that we would retain the data until they remove it or until their Fready accounts are closed or terminated. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
