SECTION ONE: PRIVACY POLICY

1A. Privacy Statement

Your privacy is very important to Synergiq Solutions Inc. (“Synergiq” or “We”) and We will treat Your data with care and respect. We know that You care how information and data about You is collected, used, and shared. This Privacy Notice describes the privacy policy for Challenge4Change - Languages application (“Service”) and provides details on the collection, use, and/or dissemination of the information You provide.

1B. Who We Are

The Service is an application (“App”) that allows users to access and use a variety of educational services to learn or practice a language. Synergiq may, at its sole discretion and at any time, update, change, suspend, make improvements to or discontinue any aspect of the Service, temporarily or permanently.

To provide the Service, We may be required to collect, use, and share certain information. The type of information We collect, together with a description of how We use and/or share it, is described below.

1C. Information Collection and Use

In order to use the Service, a User must first create an account. The options available are: 1) logging in via a Google account which will then be associated with the User Account or 2) entering a display name, a valid email address and password.

In connection with registering for and using the Service, you agree (i) to provide accurate, current and complete information about you as requested by Synergiq; (ii) to maintain the confidentiality of your password and other information related to the security of your account; (iii) to maintain and promptly update any registration information you provide to Synergiq, to keep such information accurate, current and complete; and (iv) to be fully responsible for all use of your account and for any actions that take place through your account.

We use this information, including any personal information, to provide the Service and to contact the User in connection with the Service. The User’s email address is not displayed.

The display name, or the name associated with the User’s Google account, will be used for the purposes of ranking the user in the leaderboards - within the App and on the Challenge4Change fundraising site (Challenge4Change.ca) - based on their individual scores.

We also store information that we collect through industry standard technologies such as cookies, log files, images uploaded by the user, and/or third parties in order to provide seamless operation of the Service including displaying of activity of Users on the Service for the benefit of other Users.

If the User is a member of a fundraising team - as set up separately through the Challenge4Change fundraising site (Challenge4Change.ca) - they will be given a Team Code directly from their Team Captain that can be entered on the App. This Team Code will be verified by the App and, if validated, will allow the User to have their scores added to the team. The User can subsequently choose to remove themselves from this Team through the App which will reset their status to that of an individual participant. The User will then be removed from this Team’s leaderboard and their score will also be removed from the Team’s overall calculation.

1D. Communications and Customer Service

We may send Users notifications and alerts based on useful information as it relates to the Service and the content provided therein.

Users may also occasionally receive information by email related to the Service to which the User has the option to unsubscribe from.

On occasion, it may be necessary to send out a service-related announcement. For instance, if the Service is temporarily suspended for maintenance We may send Users an email. We communicate with Users on a regular basis to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account.

1E. Sharing

Though We make reasonable effort to preserve User privacy, We cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Statement. We may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein We have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process; or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Please be aware that no data transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be secure.

We may share aggregated demographic information that is not linked to any personally identifiable information, with our partners, sponsors, and Users.

1F. Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal Information

If a User's personally identifiable information changes (such email), or if a User no longer desires the Service, We provide a way to correct, update or delete/deactivate Users' personally identifiable information.

1G. Notification of Changes

If We decide to change our privacy policy, We will post those changes to this privacy notice in places that We deem appropriate. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected. If We are going to use Users' personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, We will notify Users via email and Users will have a choice as to whether or not We use their information in this different manner.
