This Privacy Policy outlines the policies and procedures of TrypSpot (“we”, “our”, “us”) on the collection, use and sharing of your information when you access and use the TrypSpot website and services (“TrypSpot”), or when you otherwise interact with us.
What Data We Collect and How We Use It
Information you provide to us
You may choose to provide information directly to us. For example, we may collect information when you fill out a form, participate in a promotion, communicate with us via third-party sites and services, contact us or otherwise interact with us. If you correspond with us by email, we may retain the content of your email messages, your email address and our responses.
Content you share with us
When you choose to share comments, photos, videos and other content with us we may receive personal information about you, for example when you interact with us on social media.
Information we collect automatically when you use our sites/services
We may collect technical and/or behavioural information about your use of TrypSpot or other content online, and the device(s) you use to access the services. For example, this information may include details about how you browse our website and the devices and technology you use to browse our website. This may also include unique online identifiers such as device ID, device type, IP address and approximate location at the time of browsing. This may also include video viewing data and may link to your activity on other sites and allows us to recognise you or your device. We may use this to build a more detailed profile of you and your interests. We may also provide you with location-based services (for example, advertising and other personalised content), where we collect geo-location data.
Information for analysis, reporting and research
We also collect statistical and analytical data about your visits and activity on our site, such as the pages you view, how long for, and which links are followed. This helps us to improve the way we deliver content and the products and services offered to you. We may also use this anonymised data to report on our performance and to sell advertising.
eCommerce
TrypSpot contains links to products and services offered by third-party websites. If you click on those links we will use data collected about your activity on our site to direct you to the third party site. We and the third party may collect data to show us that you have clicked on the link and whether you purchased any products and services. We may receive a commission from the third party if you visit their site from TrypSpot and purchase goods and services from them.
Direct marketing
We may use the information you provide us with, such as you email address, to send you marketing communications. You can update your marketing preferences at any time. If you would like to unsubscribe (or opt-out) of receiving these emails please click the relevant links on the emails you receive.
Email tracking
We and/or our email marketing partners may use web beacons in our emails to track the success of our marketing campaigns so we can see if you’ve opened an email from us. They can also help us view which pages of our website you’ve visited by clicking a link in our emails. We may keep track of the emails that we send you and may use the information we collect to personalise the emails we send to you. We also keep a record of the communications you have selected to receive or not to receive.
Research Surveys
We may use the information you provide to invite you to participate in surveys about TrypSpot’s services. Participation is always voluntary and the answers you provide are anonymous and aggregated to support our learnings.
Lawful Basis for Processing
In order to process your personal data, we must have a lawful reason for doing so. We rely on the following lawful bases:
Consent
In some instances we rely on your specific consent to process your personal information. This is where you have actively agreed and ‘opted-in’, for example to receive marketing communications from us, and you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
Compliance with laws
We may have to process and share your personal data in order to comply with our legal obligations, or to protect our rights or the rights of others.
Legitimate interests
In some situations we rely on our legitimate business interests in order to collect and use your personal data. We may rely on legitimate interests for the following activities:
- providing, maintaining, improving and developing TrypSpot;
- sending direct marketing communications;
- managing unsubscribe requests;
- analysing the use of TrypSpot;
- using aggregated, non – personally identifiable statistical and analysis data to identify usage trends, such as your visits and activity on our site, and to determine the effectiveness of campaigns;
- allowing you to comment on TrypSpot, provide feedback or take a survey;
- dealing with queries;
- personalising your experience on TrypSpot;
- using your data in hashed non-identifiable form to help find you or similar audiences through Facebook’s audience function and Google customer match;
- identifying fraudulent behaviour and ensuring our website and systems are secure;
- building and enriching profiles of users based upon, for example, online behaviour;
Who We Share Your Data With
Third parties
We may use third parties to perform certain functions on our behalf including sending emails, organising and managing competitions and promotions, conducting surveys, removing repetitive information from customer lists, comment hosting, website analysis and data analysis. These third parties will have access to your personal information if necessary to perform their functions. We may also share your personal data with any third party in order to meet our legal and regulatory obligations.
Aggregate Information
We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information, such as demographics and website usage statistics, with advertisers, sponsors, and other organisations.
Products or services offered in partnership with third parties
Certain products or services available through this website may be provided to you in partnership with a third party. That third party may require you to disclose personal information to them in order to receive such products or services. If you request a product or service offered in partnership with a third-party, the identity of the third party will be disclosed to you and your personal information will be transferred to that third party.
We are not responsible for such third-party’s data collection or practices and you should look to such third-party privacy policies for more information.
Sweepstakes, Contests and Promotions
We may offer contests and other promotions (“Promotion”) through TrypSpot that may require registration. By participating in a Promotion, you are agreeing to official rules that govern that Promotion. If you choose to enter a Promotion, personal information may be disclosed to third parties or the public in connection with the administration of such Promotion, including winner selection, prize fulfilment, and as required by law or permitted by the Promotion’s official rules, such as on a winners list.
Ad serving & measurement/reporting services
We may use a third-party network advertiser to serve ads on TrypSpot. Network advertisers are third parties that display advertisements based on your visits to this website and other websites. This third-party ad serving enables us to target advertisements to you for products or websites you might be interested in. We may also use an audience or traffic measurement service to analyse the traffic on this website. Audience and traffic measurement services allow us to collect traffic and behavioural information from the website by monitoring anonymous visitor activity. This website’s advertisers, sponsors and/or traffic measurement services may themselves set and access their own cookies on your computer if you choose to have your cookies enabled in your browser.
Advertisers and advertising networks
We may also share de-identified information and/or aggregated information with a third party who is helping us select and deliver interesting and relevant advertising to you and/or other potential customers. This includes sharing data with advertising networks and search engines, in order for us to deliver relevant advertising to you, based on what you appear to be interested in. For example when you are searching for information or browsing other sites.
