Privacy Policy

Welcome to tribeScroll! Our mission is to bring out the best in mankind, and this also includes how privacy is protected. When you use our services, you’re trusting us with your information. We understand this is a big responsibility and work hard to protect your information and put you in control. We want you to feel secure and informed about how we collect, use, and share your personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains our practices and the choices you can make about how your information is collected and used when you use tribeScroll.

Information We Collect

We collect various types of information when you use our service, including:

  • Personal Information: It is our intention to collect as minimal personal information as necessary about you – as we have no use in tracking your personal life outside of tribeScroll. When you login in through another social media channel, however, the email address you used to register for that service is shared to us together with your name and we record it to uniquely identify you. Otherwise, we still ask for an email address in case you want to recover a lost account.
  • Application information: In order to provide our service, we have to record any data you voluntarily share on the application. This includes content you share, messages you send, tribes you create, challenges you join and profile pictures you upload. As much as we can, we encrypt the data so even our engineers cannot access the information in a human-readable format.
  • Tracking and cookies: We are not a company that profits from your data and as such we do not track your activity outside of tribeScroll. We only use cookies for saving your login information if you choose to use an external social media channel to login.
  • Usage Information: We may collect information about how you use our service, this is done by tracking events in the application anonymously.
  • Device Information: We may collect information about the device you are using, such as your device type, operating system, and browser type. We only use information that is readily shared by your operating system to all applications and the information is not tied to a personally identifiable entity.
  • Log Data: We may collect log data on application crashes, which includes the individual actions you took until the system crash as well as your device information.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to provide, maintain, and improve tribeScroll. Specifically, we may use your information to:

  • Maintain the core functionality of tribeScroll.
  • Communicate with you about our service, including to respond to your inquiries or requests
  • Monitor and analyze trends and usage to improve our service
  • Detect and prevent fraud and abuse of our service
  • Enforce our Terms of Service

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

We may share your information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as data hosting. We choose only reputable third-parties with proper security protocols in place.

In addition, we reserve the right to disclose your information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, court order, or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.

Your Choices

You can choose to delete your account at any time by contacting us. When doing so, we make sure all your personal data is removed rapidly and permanently.

Deleting your account is also possible in the app itself in profile settings. In this case, a backup of your profile data is stored for less a month, in case there has been a mistake and you want to recover your account. After a month, or when you contact us directly – the data is removed rapidly and permanently.

You can contact us through the contact form on our main website.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure as far as can be reasonably expected from a company of our size.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure and the security landscape is constantly changing. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. This is another reason why it is our policy to record as minimal information on you as we can.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. You can subscribe to our newsletter on our website in case you want to be updated on changes. We will notify you of any material changes to this Privacy Policy by email.
