We care about the safety of children. Society’s services are not directed towards children under the age of 13, therefore they are not allowed to register with us, use our services, or disclose any personal data without appropriate parental or legal guardian approval. Society requires parental consent to use the app until the child completes 13 years old regardless of the pre-defined age categories from your app store.
We do not knowingly contact or engage with children under the age of 13 without said parental consent (or consent from your legal guardian).

We never sell your personal data.
Despite that, in conformity with the California Consumer Privacy Act, we do engage in personal data sharing activities that could be considered “sales” under the CPRA, such as sharing commercial information, identifiers, or virtual network activity with analytics companies. For more information regarding this topic please check “Privacy Information for California Residents” on this Privacy Notice.
We do not share Child Activity Information with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes and do not advertise to children.
We are a global business. The personal data we collect from our customers and users may be transferred internationally to third party’s vendors, consultants, or server providers located in a foreign country, such as Google Drive, Mailchimp and Microsoft, with headquarters in the United States.
This means we may transfer your Personal Data to other countries that have different data protection rules. When transferring data across borders, we take measures to comply with applicable data protection laws related to such transfer.
Where applicable law requires a data transfer mechanism, we use one or more of the following:
For transfers to third countries, we have entered into International Data Transfer Agreements approved by the UK Parliament or Standard Contractual Clauses, approved by the European Commission, to ensure an adequate level of protection for the transfer of your Personal Data to those entities outside the EEA.

Terms used in this section and not otherwise defined have the meaning given to them under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CPRA”). California law requires us to provide some additional information regarding rights with respect to “personal information.” In many cases, the CPRA allows Californian residents to make certain requests about their personal information. Specifically, unless certain exceptions apply, the CPRA allows the following:
a. Right to know
You can request information about the categories of personal information we collect or disclose about you; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting the personal information; and the categories of third parties with whom we share/disclose personal information.
Society should respond to those requests with details on which personal information was collected within the prior 12 (twelve) months, and under certain circumstances, beyond the prior 12 (twelve) month period.
b. Right to opt-out
You have the right to opt-out of businesses selling and sharing your data.
c. Right to delete
You can request Society to delete their personal information if it is no longer needed, and Society has the obligation to request third parties that have bought or received the personal information in question to also delete it.
d. Right to Data Portability
Data subject can request to transfer specific personal information to another entity, when it is possible, and in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
e. Right to Correct Information
The data subject has the right to request Society to correct any inaccurate personal information.
f. Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information
The data subject has the right to limit the use and disclosure of their sensitive personal information.

The data subject has the right to request meaningful information about the logic involved in the decision-making process, as well as a description of the likely outcome of the process.

You have the right to be provided with information about certain financial incentives that Society offers, if any, and the right to not be subject to certain negative consequences for exercising CPRA rights.
We reserve the right to verify your identity before responding to a request, which may include, at a minimum, depending on the sensitivity of the information you are requesting and the type of request you are making, verifying your name, email address, phone number, or other information. You are also permitted to designate an authorized agent to submit certain requests on your behalf.
In order for an authorized agent to be verified, you must provide the authorized agent with signed, written permission to make such requests or a power of attorney. We may also follow up with you to verify your identity before processing the authorized agent’s request.
Please note that certain information may be exempt from such requests under California law. For example, we need certain information in order to provide the Services or to comply with legal obligations, so we would need to either reject the request to delete the information or, if we are legally permitted to delete it, we would need to terminate our provision of the Services to the data subject after deleting it.
If you would like further information regarding your legal rights under California law or would like to exercise any of them, please email contact@createyoursociety.com.
California residents have the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of their personal information.
California law broadly defines “sale” in a way that may include allowing third parties to receive certain information such as cookies, IP address and/or browsing behavior for interest-based advertising or related purposes.
Although Society does not currently sell personal information in exchange for any monetary consideration, we may share personal information for these purposes in such a way that could be deemed a “sale” as defined by the CPRA.
We also share certain information as set forth in “Cookies and other Tracking Technologies” section. For details on how to opt out of cookies, please see the “Cookies Policy”.
Please note that we do not knowingly sell Child Activity Information or the personal information of minors under 18 years of age.
