Effective Date: September 1, 2024
GoPolitix Technologies developed the GoPolitix app as a Free app. This service is provided at no cost and is intended for use as is. This page is used to inform visitors regarding our policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information if anyone decided to use our Service. We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use our app. By accessing or using Gopolitix, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
To use some of our products and services you need to have an account, and to create an account, you need to provide us certain information. Likewise, if you use our paid products and services, we cannot provide them to you without getting payment information. Basically, certain information is necessary if you want to use many of our products and services.
Personal Accounts. If you create an account, you must provide us with some information so that we can provide our services to you. This includes a display name (for example, “Family Guy”); a username (for example, familyguy); an email address or phone number; a date of birth; your display language; and third-party single sign-in information (if you choose this sign-in method). You can also choose to share your location in your profile and posts, and to upload your address book to Gopolitix to help find people you may know. Your profile information, which includes your display name and username, is always public, but you can use either your real name or a pseudonym. And remember, you can create multiple Gopolitix accounts, for example, to express different parts of your identity, professional or otherwise.
When you use our services, we collect information about how you use our products and services. We use that information to provide you with products and services, to help keep Gopolitix more secure and respectful for everyone, and more relevant to you.
Usage Information. We collect information about your activity on Gopolitix, including:
Device Information. We collect information from and about the devices you use to access Gopolitix, including:
Log Information. We may receive information when you view content on or otherwise interact with our products and services, even if you have not created an account or are signed out, such as:
Advertisements. When you view or interact with ads we serve on or off Gopolitix, we may collect information about those views or interactions (e.g., watching a video ad, clicking on an ad, interacting with reposts of or replies to an ad).
Cookies and similar technologies. Like many websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to collect additional website usage data and to operate our services. Cookies are not required for many parts of our products and services such as searching and looking at public profiles.
Interactions with our content on third-party sites. When you view our content on third-party websites that integrate Gopolitix content such as embedded timelines or post buttons, we may receive log information that includes the web page you visited.
When you use other online products and services, they may share information about that usage with us.
Ad Partners, Developers, Publishers. Our ad and business partners share information with us such as browser cookie IDs, Gopolitix generated identifiers, mobile device IDs, hashed user information like email addresses, demographic or interest data, and content viewed or actions taken on a website or app. Some of our ad partners, particularly our advertisers, also enable us to collect similar information directly from their website or app by integrating our advertising technology. Information shared by ad partners and affiliates or collected by Gopolitix from the websites and apps of ad partners and affiliates may be combined with the other information you share with Gopolitix and that Gopolitix receives, generates, or infers about you described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.
Other Third Parties, Account Connections, and Integrations. We may receive information about you from third parties who are not our ad partners, such as other Gopolitix users, developers, and partners who help us evaluate the safety and quality of content on our platform, our corporate affiliates, and other services you link to your Gopolitix account. You may choose to connect your Gopolitix account to your account on another service, and that other service may send us information about your account on that service.
Breaking down how we use the information we collect is not simple because of the way the systems that bring our services to you work. For example, the same piece of information may be used differently for different purposes to ultimately deliver a single service. We think it’s most useful to describe the five main ways we use information and if you have questions that are not answered, you can always contact us. Here we go:
Breaking down how we use the information we collect is not simple because of the way the systems that bring our services to you work. For example, the same piece of information may be used differently for different purposes to ultimately deliver a single service.
We use the information we collect to provide and operate Gopolitix products and services. We also use the information we collect to improve and personalize our products and services so that you have a better experience on Gopolitix, including by showing you more relevant content and ads, suggesting people and topics to follow, enabling and helping you discover affiliates, third-party apps, and services. We may use the information we collect and publicly available information to help train our machine learning or artificial intelligence models for the purposes outlined in this policy.
We may use the information we collect from accounts of other services that you choose to connect your Gopolitix account to provide you features like cross-posting or cross-service authentication, and to operate our services.
We use your contact information to help others find your account if your settings permit, including through third-party services and client applications.
We use your information to provide our advertising and sponsored content services subject to your settings, which helps make ads on X more relevant to you. We also use this information to measure the effectiveness of ads and to help recognize your devices to serve you ads on and off of X. Some of our ad partners also enable us to collect similar information directly from their website or app by integrating our advertising technology. Information shared by ad partners and affiliates or collected by X from the websites and apps of ad partners and affiliates may be combined with the other information you share with X and that X receives, generates, or infers about you, as described elsewhere in our Privacy Policy
We use information we collect to provide for the safety and security of our users, our products, services, and your account. This includes verifying your identity, authenticating your account, and defending against fraud, unauthorized use, and illegal activity. We also use the information to evaluate and affect the safety and quality of content on Gopolitix - this includes investigating and enforcing our policies and and terms, as well as applicable law.
We use the information we collect to measure and analyze the effectiveness of our products and services and to better understand how you use them in order to make them better.
We use the information we collect to communicate with you about our products and services, including about product updates and changes to our policies and terms. If you’re open to hearing from us, we may also send you marketing messages from time to time.
We use information you share with us, or that we collect to conduct research, surveys, product testing, and troubleshooting to help us operate and improve our products and services.
You should know the ways we share your information, why we share it, and how you can control it. There are five general ways we share your information.
With the general public. You are directing us to disclose that information as broadly as possible. Gopolitix content, including your profile information (e.g., name/pseudonym, username, profile pictures), is available for viewing by the general public. The public does not need to be signed in to view some content on Gopolitix. They may also find Gopolitix content off of Gopolitix, for example from search query results on Internet search engines.
With other Gopolitix users. Depending on your settings, and based on the Gopolitix products and services you use, we share:
With partners. Depending on your settings, we also provide certain third parties with information to help us offer or operate our products and services. You can learn more about these partnerships in our Help Center. You can control whether Gopolitix shares your personal information with these partners by using the “Data sharing with business partners” option in your Privacy & Safety settings. (This setting does not control sharing described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, such as when we share information with our service providers, or through partnerships other than as described in this Help Center article.)
With service providers. We may share your information with our service providers that perform functions and provide services on our behalf, including payment services providers who facilitate payments; service providers that host our various blogs and wikis; service providers that help us understand the use of our services; applicant tracking system providers to send and receive applicant and job data to potential employers; and those that provide fraud detection services.
With advertisers. Advertising revenue enables us to provide our products and services. Advertisers may learn information from your engagement with their ads on or off Gopolitix. For example, if you click on an external link or ad on our services, that advertiser or website operator might figure out that you came from Gopolitix, along with other information associated with the ad you clicked, such as characteristics of the audience it was intended to reach and other Gopolitix-generated identifiers for that ad. They may also collect other personal information from you, such as cookie identifiers, or your IP address.
Third-party content & integrations. We share or disclose your information with your consent or at your direction, such as when you authorize a third-party web client or application to access your account or when you direct us to share your feedback with a business. Similarly, to improve your experience, we work with third-party partners to display their video content on Gopolitix or to allow cross-platform sharing. When you watch or otherwise interact with content from our video or cross-platform sharing partners, they may receive and process your personal information as described in their privacy policies. For video content, you can adjust your autoplay settings if you prefer that content not to play automatically.
Through our APIs. We use technology like APIs and embeds to make public Gopolitix information available to websites, apps, and others for their use, for example, displaying posts on a news website or analyzing what people say on Gopolitix. We generally make this content available in limited quantities for free and charge licensing fees for large-scale access. We have standard terms that govern how this information can be used, and a compliance program to enforce these terms. But these individuals and companies are not affiliated with Gopolitix, and their offerings may not reflect updates you make on Gopolitix.
We may preserve, use, share, or disclose your information if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to:
We may share information amongst our affiliates to provide our products and services.
We may share, sell, or transfer information about you in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or bankruptcy. This Privacy Policy will apply to your personal information that is shared with (before and after the close of any transaction) or transferred to the new entity.
We keep different types of information for different periods of time:
You can access, correct, or modify the information you provided to us by editing your profile and adjusting your account settings.
To protect your privacy and maintain security, we take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to your personal information or complying with a deletion, portability, or other related request. We may, in certain situations, reject your request for access, correction, or portability, for example, we may reject access where you are unable to verify your identity.
Your account will be deactivated and your data will be queued for deletion. When deactivated, your Gopolitix account, including your display name, username, and public profile, will no longer be viewable on Gopolitix.com, Gopolitix for iOS, and Gopolitix for Android.
If you change your settings it may take some time for your choices to be fully reflected throughout our systems. You may also notice changes in your Gopolitix experience or limitations in your ability to access certain features depending on the settings you’ve adjusted. You may also manage additional settings when interacting with certain content and features on different parts of the platform, such as whether a Space is recorded, or whether videos you upload are downloadable by others.
To submit a request related to access, modification, or deletion of your information, or someone else’s information if you are their authorized agent, you may also contact us as specified in the How To Contact Gopolitix section of our Privacy Policy below. We may require you to provide additional information for verification.
We provide Gopolitix to people all over the world and provide many of the same privacy tools and controls to all of our users regardless of where they live. However, your experience may be slightly different than users in other countries to ensure Gopolitix respects local requirements.
Gopolitix has carefully considered the legal reasons it is permitted to collect, use, share and otherwise process your information. If you want to dig in to learn more and better understand the nuances, we’d encourage you to check out this additional information about data processing. And no, we don’t sell your personal information.
Just as you use Gopolitix to seamlessly participate in global conversations with people in countries all over the world, Gopolitix must move information across borders and to different countries around the world to support the safe and reliable service you depend on. For example, if you live in Europe and are having a conversation with someone in the United States, information has to move between those countries to provide that experience – it’s what you expect from us.
We also use cloud providers, and engage our affiliates and third-party partners and service providers located in many parts of the world to help us provide our services. Before we move data between countries we look at the risks that may be presented to the data and rely on standard contractual clauses (SCCs), where applicable, to ensure your data rights are protected. If data will be shared with a third party, we require them to maintain the same protections over your data that we provide directly.
The information provided in this app is sourced from reliable government websites and official publications. We ensure that the data is accurate and up-to-date by regularly reviewing and updating our sources. Some of the primary sources include:
Our services are not directed to children, and you may not use our services if you are under the age of 13. You must also be old enough to consent to the processing of your personal data in your country (in some countries we may allow your parent or guardian to do so on your behalf).
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy on our app. Your continued use of the app after any changes indicates your acceptance of the revised policy.
You acknowledge that English shall be the language of reference for interpreting and constructing the terms of the Gopolitix Privacy Policy.
We want to hear from you if you have thoughts or questions about this Privacy Policy. You can contact us at privacy@gopolitix.com
