Privacy Policy

Welcome to the Sheekore Privacy Policy

Sheekore, based in Warrington, United Kingdom (“Sheekore” “we,” “us,” and “our”), provides this Privacy Policy to help you understand what data we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it. This is important, we hope you will take time to read it carefully.

We have tried to write this policy in a way that is easy for consumers to understand at a “high level”, while still providing detail to allow sophisticated users (and privacy advocates) to understand what data models we’re engaged in.

This policy describes the information we process to support features offered by Sheekore (Sheekore Products or Products).

We’ve also provided a section about the choices that you have with respect to “interest based advertising,” and we encourage you to read that section and exercise your “opt out” rights if you’re inclined to do that. (But because interest based advertising leads to more relevant (and thus, less annoying) advertising, we hope you won’t do that.)

Privacy Policy

1. What kinds of information do we collect?

To provide the Sheekore Products, we must process information about you. The types of information we collect depend on how you use our Products.

Things you and others do and provide

• Information and content, you provide. We collect the content, communications and other information you provide when you use our Products, including when you sign up for an account, create or share content and message or communicate with others.
• Information about transactions made on our Products. If you use our Products for purchases or other financial transactions (such as when you make a purchase in a game), we collect information about the purchase or transaction. This includes payment information, such as your credit or debit card number and other card information; other account and authentication information; and billing, shipping and contact details.
• Communication with us. We may also collect Personal Information from you such as your name, email address, phone number or mailing address when you choose to request information about our products and Services, contact customer service or otherwise communicate with us.

Information from partners

• Analytics. We may use analytics software to better understand the functionality of our Products. This software may record information such as how often you use the application, the events that occur within the application, aggregated usage, performance data, crash events. do not link the information stored within the analytics software to any personal information you may submit within the application. We may use Google Analytics Solution and Android vitals for diagnostics data.

• Payment Processing. If you do financial transaction in our Products, we collect information about the transaction. This includes payment information such as billing, shipping and contact details. We may use Google Pay, In-app billing on Google Play, Stripe or StoreKit from Apple to process the payments.

• Advertisement. We partner with third-parties, such as with Admob and others, to display advertising throughout the Products or to manage its advertising on other sites. Our third-party partner may use cookies, advertising identifiers, web bugs, pixel tags, web beacons or similar technologies in order to provide you with relevant advertising.

• Social Media Widgets. Our product may include integrated social media features and tools, such as the Facebook “Like” button, the YouTube “Share This” button, the Twitter “Follow” button, the Google Plus “Follow” button. These features may collect information on your IP address, which page you are visiting on Sheekore’s site, and may set a cookie to enable the Feature to function properly. Social media features and tools are either hosted by a third-party or hosted directly on the Sheekore Products. Your interactions with these integrated social media features and tools are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.

• Authentication. You may be able to log in to some of our Products using sign-in services such as Google, Facebook, Twitter or other Open ID provider. These services will authenticate your identity and provide you the option to share certain personal information with Sheekore such as your name and email address to pre-populate Sheekore’s sign-up form.

2. How is this information shared?

We do not share personal information with companies, organizations and individuals outside of Sheekore unless one of the following circumstances applies:

• Public information. It can be seen by anyone, on our Products. This includes the content you upload, your ranking in leaderboards. Anyone can download, screenshot or reshare that content across or off our Products.

• For external processing. We may use other trusted businesses or persons to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, processing payments, hosting, data storage, sending postal mail and email, removing repetitive information from customers lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. We will provide such entities with access to certain information needed to perform their function, but will take measures to ensure that they may not use it for other purposes. We share information only as described above and with third-parties that are either subject to this Privacy Policy or to a privacy policy that is at least as protective as this Privacy Policy.

• For legal reasons. We will share personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of Sheekore if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:

  • meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request.
  • Enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations.
  • Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.
  • Protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Sheekore, our users or the public as required or permitted by law.

• Business transfers. If Sheekore is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, we will continue to ensure the confidentiality of any personal information and give affected users notice before personal information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

3. Information Security

We use accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to Sheekore. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. While no security system is completely secure, we and our third-parties work hard take appropriate security measures to protect Sheekore and our users from unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of information we may hold. For us, this includes but is not limited to, ensuring that all Personal and Financial Information is disclosed only on a “need to know” basis and ensuring that all Personal Information collected by us is done so via secured connection and protected and encrypted (using secure socket layer technology, “SSL”) by industrial grade security software to guard against unauthorized access.

4. Consumer control and Opt-out options

In most cases, consumers have control over whether or not they would like to receive relevant advertisements and marketing email.

• Opting Out of Push Notifications. You may in most cases opt out of receiving push notifications by going to your device “Settings” and clicking on “Notifications,” and then changing those settings for some or all of the apps on your device. (Different device configurations, or updates to devices, may affect or change how these settings work.)

• Opting Out of online interest-based advertising. You can opt out of many of the platforms and service providers that facilitate online interest-based advertising by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance’s consumer education and opt-out page, at https://optout.aboutads.info/ . This type of opt out is cookie based, which means that if you replace or upgrade your browser, or delete cookies, you will need to opt out again. Opting out in this way will not prevent you from receiving ads – it will just make the ads you less customized to you. You can also use https://youradchoices.com/ and/or http://www.networkadvertising.org/ .

• Opting Out of “Cross-App” advertising on mobile devices. You can opt out of having your mobile advertising identifiers used for certain types of interest-based (also called “cross-app”) mobile behavioral advertising, by accessing the “settings” on your Apple or Android mobile device, as follows:

  • Apple Devices: If you have an Apple device, you can opt out of most app-based tracking for interest-based advertising by setting Limit Ad Tracking to ‘ON.’ You can do this by clicking on Settings -> Privacy -> Advertising and toggling Limit Ad Tracking to ‘On.’
  • Android Devices: If you have an Android device, you can opt out of most app-based tracking for interest-based advertising by opening the Google Settings app on your device, selecting Ads, and then selecting the option to opt-out of interest-based ads.

Please note that these platforms control how these settings work, so the above may change. Likewise, if your device uses other platforms not described above, you should check the settings for those devices.

• Additional choices. Advertisers may also provide ways for you to opt out from or limit their collection of information from and about you. Please refer to the privacy policies for retailers, applications and websites to learn more about their privacy practices.
  You may opt not to receive promotional emails from us by contacting us as indicated below or by following the “unsubscribe” instructions in any promotional email you receive from us. Please note, however, that we may still send you non-promotional emails about your relationship with us.

5. Data Access and Retention

We store data until it is no longer necessary to provide our services and Sheekore Products, or until your account is deleted – whichever comes first. This is a case-by-case determination that depends on things like the nature of the data, why it is collected and processed, and relevant legal or operational retention needs.
When you delete your account, we delete things you have shared, such as your account photos, and you won’t be able to recover that information later. If you don’t want to delete your account but want to temporarily stop using the Products, you can deactivate your account instead.

6. Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. If we learn that we have inadvertently gathered personal data from children under 13 years of age, we will take reasonable measures to promptly delete such personal data from our records.
We understand the need to provide extra privacy protections to users who are children. To that end, features and services such as social networking plug-ins, behaviorally targeted advertising, and collection of data for the purpose of building user profiles are not available to users under 13. We also do not allow our third-party partners who engage in such practices to access personally identifiable data from users under 13.
We and our partners do collect non-personally identifiable data from children. This includes, for example, collection of IP-based geolocation data to ensure that the product, service or features served comply with applicable laws of that nation.
Please note that our partners may have their own policies related to tracking technologies for analytics and ad-serving purposes.
We require that companies comply with our privacy policy before we allow those companies to access our sites and services, we do not actually control third-party data collection and use.

We recommend that you check the Privacy Policy frequently so that you are informed of any changes.
