Introduction

GrindRewards has developed this app/website to adhere to data protection regulations, ensuring the security of your personal information as you use our services. This privacy policy outlines the measures we take to safeguard your data integrity and explains the purposes and methods of collecting your information. By continuing to use our services, you agree to the collection and storage of your data as outlined in this privacy policy.

Data Collection

When utilizing our services, you may need to disclose personal details such as your email address, full name, and home address. This data is solely collected to offer you appropriate surveys and offers. Certain surveys have specific audience requirements, and this information assists in filtering out irrelevant surveys for which you may not qualify. It's important to note that we never knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 13.

Additionally, we gather non-personal information like your IP address, browser type, and cookies. This data helps enhance your experience and enables us to mitigate fraud on our platform.

Cookies and Local Storage

This app/website utilizes Cookies to recognize your computer and link requests from your computer with the corresponding user. Local Storage offers convenient features like remembering user preferences across browsing sessions.

By utilizing our services, you consent to the use of Cookies and Local Storage as described above. You have the option to clear or block Cookies and Local Storage at any time, although blocking them will significantly restrict the functionality of our services.

Third Parties

The App/Site collaborates with third-party partners such as offer walls and survey routers to offer you as a user various offers and surveys. The extent of information shared with these partners depends on the type of offer. For standard 'offers', we only provide your unique ID generated by us for account identification. For 'surveys', we share your unique ID along with any information you have provided to us, aiding the provider in filtering out irrelevant surveys.

Any third-party services integrated into our app/site may collect information from you on their respective websites and maintain separate privacy policies. We hold no responsibility or liability for their content and operations. If you have any dissatisfaction or concerns regarding these third-party privacy policies, please reach out to us, and we will gladly investigate.

Sharing of Information

Our policy strictly prohibits the sharing, selling, or renting of your personal information to third parties for our own benefit. However, there are instances where we may be obligated to share your personal details with third parties, such as law enforcement agencies. In situations where we deem it reasonably necessary to comply with law enforcement or regulatory bodies, we may do so without prior consent or notice.

Furthermore, we may share your personal information if we believe it is essential to investigate, prevent, or address situations that pose a threat to the security, rights, and assets of the company, or if there are violations of our policies or terms of service. Additionally, in cases of fraud, such as credit card fraud related to offers, we may share your personal information as necessary.

The disclosure of sensitive information to relevant organizations or authorities is at the sole discretion of the company's management.

Security

We take your data protection and sensitivity very seriously. We employ industry standard techniques to protect against unauthorized access of data about you that we store, including personal information.

The personal information we collect about you is stored in secure servers, hosted by industry-leading hosting providers. We also maintain many security measures to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the personal information within our control.

However, no method of transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the security of such information or be responsible for any damage that results from a breach in security. Furthermore, you should be aware that the Internet and other various networking communication media are not entirely secure, and your information may therefore be subject to interception or loss which is beyond our reasonable control. In conclusion, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any personal information you transmit to us, and any transmission is done at your own risk. Accordingly, we assume no responsibility or liability for disclosure of your personal information or other information due to errors in transmission, unauthorized third-party access, or other causes beyond our reasonable control.

For European Residents

For users located in Europe, we are obliged to inform you about the following in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): The Company may offer its Service to Users situated in Europe. When interacting with European Users of the Service, the Company acts as a data controller, determining the purposes and methods of using any personal data collected.

By using our services, you consent to us acquiring, using, and processing the information you provide to facilitate the delivery of our services.

Furthermore, you agree to the storage of your data on servers located in the USA. Our lawful basis for processing your personal information is "legitimate interests." Under this basis, we can process your personal information if we have a genuine and legitimate reason and do not infringe upon your rights and interests.

In compliance with applicable law, GrindRewards may disclose or transfer personal data and other information collected through the Application/Services to third parties.

We will handle your personal data in a lawful, fair, and transparent manner, solely for the legitimate purpose of providing the service. We will only request, process, and retain personal information to the extent necessary to provide the Service. This information will be maintained in a form and duration that allows identification of data subjects for no longer than required. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time and request the erasure of your personal information. You may also request a copy of all personal information maintained about you and request corrections if any information is inaccurate.

The Company retains all records until the User requests account deletion, at which point we will promptly delete all personal information. If you request the erasure of your personal information, your account will also be deleted, and you will need to create a new account to use the service again.
