Any questions regarding this policy should be directed by email to hello@capsula.xyz. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for its social networking applications and website.

​

Information Collected and Received

We may collect or receive information about each person who registers with our website and/or applications including, but not limited to, user name, password, first and last name, email address, street address, gender, occupation, and interests. We also collect information on the pages you access and other information you may volunteer, such as survey information.  Where you approve or allow access to an application on your phone or a third-party service, we may collect information stored by or available through such application or service, including but not limited to the calendar, camera, voice recorder and other applications on your phone. We may also collect member location information, as further described in the “Global Positioning System” paragraph below.

 

Uses of Information

WE WILL NEVER SELL YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, OR ANY OTHER PERSONAL INFORMATION, TO ANY THIRD PARTY WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION.  EVER. 

Except as described in this section, we will not disclose your personal information to any third party without notifying you of our intent to share the information and giving you an opportunity to prevent your information from being shared.

We use your personal information to provide the services, which includes the storage of personal information in a third-party service rather than solely on your phone or other device. Your personal information may also be used for testing, development and other functions as part of improving the services offered. 

From time to time, we may partner with companies based on the interests of our members. These partner companies will never see your email address or any other information that could identify you or be used to contact you directly.

Any exceptions to this policy of sharing your name, address or email address with a partner company will be done only with your permission.

We reserve the right to disclose information when required by law.

We occasionally use other companies to perform services necessary to our operations. In the course of providing these services, those companies may have access to your personal information. By contractual agreement, those companies must treat your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. However, we will not be liable for any damages that may result from the misuse of your personal information by these companies.

We may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our web site. Your IP address may also be used to help identify you and your online profile and to gather broad demographic information.

Our site registration form requires users to give us contact information (such as your name and email address) and demographic information (such as your zip code, age, or income level). We use your contact information from the registration form to send you information about us and promotional material from some of our partners. Your contact information may also be used to contact you when necessary. We may use demographic and/or profile data to tailor your experience on the website and/or applications, show you content that we think you may be interested in, and display content according to your preferences. The demographic and profile data will be shared with third parties ONLY on an aggregate basis.  Furthermore, we shall have the right to retain records of all data pertaining to use of the website and applications including, but not limited to, usage, activity logs, and click-throughs.  We may disclose such data to third parties provided it is grouped with other of our users’ data and is presented in an aggregate form.

We may also disclose, on an anonymous basis, statements made by our users.

 

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect any information from anyone who we know to be under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 18, you should use this website only with the involvement of a parent or guardian and should not submit any personal information to us. If we discover that a person under the age of 13 has provided us with any personal information, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete such person's personal information from all our systems.

This information is transmitted to us, our users, and temporarily stored by us.
