Privacy Policy
Effective Date: June 2, 2015
Welcome to Snypr! Snypr, Inc. (“Snypr,” “we,” “us” or “our”) provides creative, competitive and connected training exercises and virtual games for athletes through our mobile application(s) (each, an “App”) and related information through our website located at snypr.com (the App(s) and our website collectively, the “Snypr Services”). This Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about how we may collect, use and disclose information, including Personally Identifiable Data (as defined below), from visitors to the Snypr Services. By using the Snypr Services, you consent to the collection, use, storage and disclosure of such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
If you are under the age of 13, your parent or guardian must provide consent for Snypr’s collection of personally identifable information from you and for your use of the Snypr Services before you sign up to use the Snypr Services. Please see the section below titled “For Children Under 13 and Their Parents or Guardians.”
Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using the Snypr Services or submitting any information to us through the Snypr Services. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into Snypr’s Terms of Service.
For Children Under 13 and Their Parents or Guardians:
Children under the age of 13 (each, a “child” and collectively, “children”) may register with the Snypr Services after we have obtained verifiable parental consent in accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”).
Snypr asks prospective users of the Snypr Services to provide a username and birth date information as the first steps in the registration process. For each prospective user under the age of 13, we then collect the email address of the child’s parent or guardian so that we may give the parent or guardian notice of our information collection, use and sharing practices and obtain verifiable parental consent for the child’s use of the Snypr Services. We do not save or store any information submitted by or collected from a child except for the email address of the child’s parent or guardian until we have obtained verifiable parental consent from the parent or guardian. If we do not obtain parental consent within a reasonable time after collecting the parent or guardian’s email address from the child, we will delete such information from our records.
In our follow-up communication with parents and guardians, we describe the types of information we collect from our users and how we use, store and share such information. We also provide information on how a parent or guardian can give consent for the collection, use and disclosure of a child’s personal information (as defined by COPPA) by signing our consent form and sending it to Snypr by fax, mail or electronic scan (the “print-and-send” method).
The types of information we collect from children are the same as the types of information collected from other users, as described in this Privacy Policy. A child’s username will be publicly viewable by other users of the Snypr Services, and other personal information (as defined by COPPA), such as a photograph of the child used as an account picture and any geolocation data embedded therein, may be publicly viewable or accessible if (i) the child submits such information to the Snypr Services and (ii) the child’s account settings are public.
We will not require children to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the games made available through the Snypr Services. A parent or guardian may review a child’s personal information collected by or through the Snypr Services at any time and request the deletion of such information or stop the collection of further information from the child by contacting Snypr at consent@snypr.com. A parent or guardian may also request that we do not disclose a child’s personal information to third parties, unless such third parties provide services or functionality that enable us to provide the Snypr Services.
Information Snypr May Collect:
Personally Identifiable Data. “Personally Identifiable Data” means information that alone or when in combination with other information may be used to readily identify or contact you, such as your name, email address or photograph, or other information about you that is directly linked to Personally Identifiable Data.
Usage Data. “Usage Data” means certain information that we, our third-party service providers or social media services that we integrate into the Snypr Services may collect through a variety of technologies, such as cookies and web beacons, that may automatically or passively collect information when you visit or interact with the Snypr Services. Usage Data may include, but is not limited to, your IP address, time spent on the Snypr Services, the type of browser, device or operating system you use or the URL that referred you to the Snypr Service.
If we associate Usage Data with your Personally Identifiable Data, we will treat the combined information as Personally Identifiable Data. In accordance with COPPA, we consider persistent identifiers that can be used to recognize a user over time and across different sites as a child’s personal information.
How Snypr Gathers Information:
Information Collected Directly From You. We may collect Personally Identifiable Data when you register for the Snypr Services, visit certain areas or access certain features of the Snypr Services, subscribe to any communications from us or otherwise voluntarily provide Personally Identifiable Data to us.
To register for the Snypr Services, you will need to provide us with Personally Identifiable Data including your email address, gender and birthday. We will also ask for a username to associate with your account. Because usernames are publicly viewable by all users of our App(s), we advise that you select a username that does not include your first and last name or online contact information, such as identifiers that you use in connection with your email account or instant messaging services. We may also request that you provide additional information to participate in games made available through the Snypr Services, such as information related to your sports practices, events and training activities, and to help us personalize your experiences with and improve the Snypr Services.
Information from Your Use of the Snypr Services. We may collect Personally Identifiable Data and Usage Data from you as you use the Snypr Services. For example, we may monitor and collect information related to your in-App activity, such as which games you have played and how often you have logged your sports and training activities through the Snypr Services. We may also collect information from the mobile device you use to access the Snypr Services, such as your device identification number.
Your User Content. “User Content” means the information that you may post, submit, upload, publish, display, transmit or otherwise share through the Snypr Services, including but not limited to photographs or other images for use as account pictures, information related to your sports activities and “high fives” or other messages you select to send to other users through the Snypr Services. We may not consider all User Content to be Personally Identifiable Data, so please use caution and common sense when sharing or posting.
Information from Customer Service. We may collect Personally Identifiable Data and Usage Data through your communications with our customer service team.
Information from Third-Party Integrated Services. We may collect information, including Personally Identifiable Data and Usage Data, from social media websites, applications or other third-party services that we integrate into the Snypr Services (collectively, “Third-Party Integrated Services”) if you are aged 13 or over and you choose to connect to your Snypr account using any such Third-Party Integrated Service. For example, if we have enabled your ability to log in to the Snypr Services by using your Facebook credentials and you choose to do so, we may collect Personally Identifiable Data from your Facebook profile, such as your email address, profile picture and friend list.
