This Privacy Policy is effective as of February 9, 2018.
Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share and protect information in relation to our mobile services, web site, and any software provided on or in connection with using the Crityk website or Crityk application services (collectively, the “Service“), and your choices about the collection and use of your information.

By using our Service you understand and agree that we are providing a platform for you to post content, including photos, comments and other materials (“User Content“), to the Service and to share User Content publicly. This means that other Users may search for, see, use, or share any of your User Content that you make publicly available through the Service, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use (which can be found here https://crityk.com/terms-and-conditions.html ).

Our Policy applies to all visitors, users, and others who access the Service (“Users“).

‍What information do we collect?

Information you submit directly:
‍
• Your username, password and e-mail address when you register for a Crityk account.

• Profile information that you provide for your user profile (e.g., first and last name, profile picture, bio description, username, and phone number). This information allows us to help you or others be “found” on Crityk.

• Information from social media accounts you connect (e.g. email address, profile pictures, usernames, and credentials)

• User Content (e.g., photos, comments, ratings, location, and other materials) that you post to the Service.

• Communications between you and SKS Solutions or Crityk. For example, we may send you Service-related emails (e.g., account verification, changes/updates to features of the Service, technical and security notices). You may not opt out of Service-related e-mails.

‍Locating and Inviting your friends on Crityk:

• If you choose to find or invite your friends through your device’s contacts list, then Crityk will access your contacts list to determine whether or not someone associated with your contact is using Crityk.

• If you choose to find or invite your friends through a third-party social media site, then you will be prompted to set up a link to the third-party service and you understand that any information that such service may provide to us will be governed by this Privacy Policy.

• If you choose to find your friends through a search of names or usernames on Crityk then simply type a name to search and we will perform a search on our Service.

• Note about “Invite Friends” feature: If you choose to invite someone to the Service through our “Invite friends” feature, you may select a person directly from the contacts list on your device and send a text or email from your personal account. You understand and agree that you are responsible for any charges that apply to communications sent from your device, and because this invitation is coming directly from your personal account, Crityk does not have access to or control this communication.

‍Analytics information:

• We use third-party analytics tools to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Service. These tools collect information sent by your device or our Service, including the web pages you visit, add-ons, and other information that assists us in improving the Service.

‍Cookies and similar technologies:

• When you visit the Service, we may use cookies and similar technologies like pixels, web beacons, and local storage to collect information about how you use Crityk and provide features to you.

‍Device identifiers:

• When you use a mobile device like a tablet or phone to access our Service, we may access, collect, monitor, store on your device, and/or remotely store one or more “device identifiers.” Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device. A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device’s operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by Crityk.

• A device identifier may deliver information to us or to a third party partner about how you browse and use the Service and may help others or us provide reports or personalized content in the future. Information collected through device identifiers may include device locations, including specific geographic locations, such as through GPS, Bluetooth, or WiFi signals utilized on your device. Some features of the Service may not function properly if use or availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled.

‍Metadata:

• Metadata is usually technical data that is associated with User Content. For example, Metadata can describe how, when and by whom a piece of User Content was collected and how that content is formatted.

• Users can add or may have Metadata added to their User Content including a hashtag (e.g., to mark keywords when you post a photo or comment), geotag (e.g., to mark your location to a photo), comments or other data. This makes your User Content more searchable by others and more interactive.

‍How and with whom do we share your information?

• We will not rent or sell your information to third parties outside SKS Solutions without your consent, except as noted in this Policy. We may share User Content and your information (including but not limited to, information from cookies, log files, device identifiers, location data, and usage data) with businesses that are legally part of the same group of companies that SKS Solutions is part of, or that become part of that group (“Affiliates”). Affiliates may use this information to help provide, understand, and improve the Service (including by providing analytics) and Affiliates’ own services (including by providing you with better and more relevant experiences).

• We also may share your information as well as information from tools like cookies, log files, and device identifiers and location data, with third-party organizations that help us provide the Service to you (“Service Providers”). Our Service Providers will be given access to your information as is reasonably necessary to provide the Service under reasonable confidentiality terms.

• We may remove parts of data that can identify you and share anonymous data with other parties. We may also combine your information with other information in a way that it is no longer associated with you and share that aggregated information.

Parties with whom you may choose to share your User Content:
‍
• Any information or content that you voluntarily disclose for posting to the Service, such as User Content, becomes available to the public. Once you have shared User Content or made it public, that User Content may be re-shared by others.

• Any User Content that you make public is searchable by other Users and subject to re- use.

• If you remove information that you posted to the Service, copies may remain viewable in cached and archived pages of the Service, or if other Users or third parties using Crityk have copied, shared, or saved that information.

‍What happens in the event of a change of control?

• If we sell or otherwise transfer part or the whole of SKS Solutions or our assets to another organization (e.g., in the course of a transaction like a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation), your information such as name and email address, User Content and any other information collected through the Service may be among the items sold or transferred. You will continue to own your User Content. The buyer or transferee will have to honor the commitments we have made in this Privacy Policy.

‍Responding to legal requests and preventing harm:

• We may access, preserve and share your information in response to a legal request (like a search warrant, court order or subpoena) if we have a good faith belief that the law requires us to do so. This may include responding to legal requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States where we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law in that jurisdiction, affects users in that jurisdiction, and is consistent with internationally recognized standards. We may also access, preserve and share information when we have a good faith belief it is necessary to: detect, prevent and address fraud and other illegal activity; to protect ourselves, you and others, including as part of investigations; and to prevent death or imminent bodily harm. Information we receive about you may be accessed, processed and retained for an extended period of time when it is the subject of a legal request or obligation, governmental investigation, or investigations concerning possible violations of our terms or policies, or otherwise to prevent harm.

• SKS Solutions, its Affiliates, or Service Providers may transfer information that we collect about you, including personal information across borders and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world. If you are located in the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, please note that we may transfer information, including personal information, to a country and jurisdiction that does not have the same data protection laws as your jurisdiction.

• By registering for and using the Service you consent to the transfer of information to the U.S. or to any other country in which SKS Solutions, its Affiliates or Service Providers maintain facilities and the use and disclosure of information about you as described in this Privacy Policy.

However, SKS Solutions cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit to Toast Labs or Crityk or guarantee that information on the Service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.

• Your privacy settings may also be affected by changes the social media services you connect to Crityk make to their services. We are not responsible for the functionality, privacy, or security measures of any other organization.
