PRIVACY POLICY

Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to Flowics.com (the “Site”) and other services provided to third parties by Flowics, as further described below (“Services”). By using the Site or the Services, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms set forth in this Privacy Policy, you may not use our Site or Services.

Scope of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through our Site, and also describes certain privacy practices with regard to the Services provided by Flowics to third parties. The Services include without limitation, social media hubs, widgets, and APIs for use on third party sites or in third party broadcast programming. The Services typically include social media content created by end-users and provided through social media platforms (the “Social Media Content”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to any information you may provide to us by email, phone, fax, written agreements, or otherwise.

“PII” means “personally identifiable information,” which is information that identifies you personally, either alone or in combination with other information available to us (including without limitation your name, address, email address, telephone number, or other personal information). “Non-PII” means “non-personally identifiable information” or other information which alone does not identify you. We sometimes refer to both PII and Non-PII in this Privacy Policy as “Information.” Social Media Content may include PII and/or Non-PII, depending on the content voluntarily submitted to the social media platform by the applicable end-user.


Collection of Your Information

Social Media Content
Any Social Media Content submitted by an end-user to the applicable social media platform and which is then automatically provided by that platform to Flowics (via API or otherwise), may instantly be visible to anyone viewing the applicable Service anywhere in the world (subject to the privacy settings you have established in your account with the applicable social media platform). By submitting any public Social Media Content (as controlled by your account settings with the applicable social media platform, if any) to the applicable hashtag promoted in a Service, or otherwise in a manner that transmits such Social Media Content to a Service, you consent to the collection, transfer, manipulation, storage, disclosure, and other use of the Information contained within the Social Media Content, to any country in which the Service is provided. You further consent that any Information you post to a social media platform will be provided by you directly to the applicable social media platform, and accordingly will be subject to that platform’s own Privacy Policy and the controls you have established on your social media account with that platform (including without limitation the privacy settings for that account, if any).

By using Flowics, you also are agreeing to be bound by the applicable social media platform Terms of Service and Policies:

Optional Voluntary Information
In order to request information about Flowics or our Services, or otherwise contact us through our Site, you may be required to voluntarily submit certain PII such as your name and email address. Sweepstakes or other promotions may occasionally be offered through our Services, which may require the submission of PII to enter the promotion. Please keep in mind that if you enter a promotion on our Services, your entry information may be provided directly to the applicable third party client of Flowics, rather than (or possibly in addition to) Flowics. Contacting us through our Site, or entering any of these promotions, is purely optional, so you are not required to submit any PII through our Site or Services if you do not wish to contact us in this manner or participate in the applicable promotion.

Usage Data
Flowics may track user traffic patterns and content accessed throughout our Site or Services. This information allows us to better tailor our content to meet the needs of our users and clients, and to help us better understand our audience.

Information Sent to Us by Your Web Browser
We may collect information that is sent to us automatically by your web browser, such as your IP address, the address of the web page you were visiting when you accessed our Site, information on your operating system and browser, and the date and time of your visit. Such information does not by itself identify you personally. In addition, we may review our server logs for security purposes, such as detecting intrusions into our network.

Client Dashboards
If our clients choose to access the online dashboards by which they can control our Services (which may be accessible through our Site), we will collect only the Information required to log in to the dashboard. You do not need to provide this Information to us unless you choose to use the applicable dashboard.

Security of your Personal Information
Flowics uses reasonable security measures based on the nature of PII disclosed on our Site and Services, in an effort to secure your PII from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. However, please keep in mind that perfect security does not exist on the Internet, and we cannot guarantee that the Information we collect about you will remain secure.
