Project Purpose Privacy Policy

Updated May 27, 2021

 

Project Purpose’s Privacy Policy describes how Project Purpose collects, uses, and shares your personal data.

 

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our privacy practices, accessible via the headings below, and contact us if you have any questions.

 

How does Project Purpose Define Personal Data?

 

At Project Purpose, we believe strongly in fundamental privacy rights — and that those fundamental rights should not differ depending on where you live in the world. That’s why we treat any data that relates to an identified or identifiable individual or that is linked or linkable to them by Project Purpose as “personal data,” regardless of where the individual lives. This means that data that directly identifies you — such as your name — is personal data, and also data that does not directly identify you, but that can reasonably be used to identify you — is personal data.

 

This Privacy Policy covers how Project Purpose or a Project Purpose-affiliated company handles personal data whether you interact with us on our websites, through Project Purpose apps (i.e. available through Wix Apps), or in person (including by phone or during any live events). Project Purpose may also link to third parties on our services or make third-party apps available for download in our Storefront. Project Purpose’s Privacy Policy does not apply to how third parties define personal data or how they use it. We encourage you to read their privacy policies and know your privacy rights before interacting with them.

 

Your Privacy Rights at Project Purpose

 

At Project Purpose, we respect your ability to know, access, correct, transfer, restrict the processing of, and delete your personal data. We have provided these rights to our global customer base and if you choose to exercise these privacy rights, you have the right not to be treated in a discriminatory way nor to receive a lesser degree of service from Project Purpose. Project Purpose does not sell you data.

 

To exercise your privacy rights and choices, log in through our Project Purpose Member’s Area. To help protect the security of your personal data, you must sign in to your account. If you are unable to log in, you can make privacy rights requests at inquiries@spe-projectpurpose.com 

 

There may be situations where we cannot grant your request — for example, if you ask us to delete your transaction data and Project Purpose is legally obligated to keep a record of that transaction to comply with law. We may also decline to grant a request where doing so would undermine our legitimate use of data for anti-fraud and security purposes, such as when you request deletion of an account that is being investigated for security concerns. Other reasons your privacy request may be denied are if it jeopardizes the privacy of others, is frivolous or vexatious, or would be extremely impractical.
