Your privacy is important to BeachUp. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) applies to the BeachUp websites (including, without limitation, BeachUp.com.gr) and the BeachUp mobile applications and related services (collectively the “BeachUp Services”) and explains how personal information is collected, used, disclosed, and protected by BeachUp.

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any changes to this Privacy Policy, we will inform you by posting the revised Privacy Policy on the BeachUp website. Those changes will go into effect on the “last updated” date shown in the revised Privacy Policy. You consent to the revised Privacy Policy by continuing to use BeachUp Services. We encourage you to check this Privacy Policy whenever you use BeachUp Services to understand how your personal information is used.

In your dealings with BeachUp you may provide us with personal information. Personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy means information that personally identifies you, like your name, street address, email address, phone number, and other personally identifiable information that you choose to give to us or that we collect in relation to your use of the BeachUp Services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of entities that we do not own or control, or to individuals that we do not employ or manage.

If you are a minor less than 13 years old, please do not provide any personal information about yourself to us. If we learn that we have collected personal information from such a minor, we will delete that information. If you are a parent of a minor, you may provide us with personal information about the minor, or permit us to collect information directly from the minor (if he or she is at least 13 years old), to use as part of BeachUp Services and we will treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We collect information from you in various ways when you use BeachUp Services. We may also supplement this information with information from other companies. We collect two general types of information, namely personal information (defined above) and aggregate data.

Aggregate data is information we collect about a group or category of services or users from which individual user identities have been removed. In other words, no personal information is included in aggregate data. Aggregate data helps us understand trends in our users’ needs so that we can better consider new features or otherwise tailor our services. This Privacy Policy in no way restricts or limits our collection and use of aggregate data, and we may share aggregate data about our users with third parties for various purposes, including to help us better understand our customer needs and improve our services and for advertising and marketing purposes.

• Information You Give Us. We collect information you give us through BeachUp Services and when you download the app for and use BeachUp Services. Examples include the following:
• App’s download and Profile Information. When you download BeachUp app, to use its Services, we may collect various kinds of information about you including, your name, username, phone number, sms addresses, photos, email addresses and date of birth.
• Information we collect when you interact with BeachUp. We collect personal information of the actions taken while using or interacting with BeachUp Services such as adding friends, family members, location information or information related to beaches and communications that occur during and after such events. We may retain the details of transactions or payments you make on or related to BeachUp Services.
• Location Information. Location of another user using BeachUp Services can only be done by you if such positioning services are permitted by applicable law and (i) the user is a minor and you are the parent of such user or a third party administrator authorized by a parent or legal representative of such user, or (ii) the user is not a minor and the user has explicitly agreed that you may use BeachUp Services for user location purposes. To prevent abuse, BeachUp will notify the user when other individual will be notified with his/her current location. Parents on behalf of their children may be able to disable location services on certain BeachUp Services. BeachUp may log and store certain information about your use of BeachUp’s Service, including but not limited to time stamps for a positioning request (search, receipt notification) etc. Such information shall be logged and stored for billing and customer support purposes only, and will be retained by BeachUp.
• Payment Information. If you choose to use a paid BeachUp account or service, our payment processing vendor collects your credit card information and billing address.
• Submissions and Customer Service. From time to time we may request personal or demographic information and customer feedback.
• Outside Services and Applications. Through BeachUp Services, parents on behalf of their children may choose to access outside services and applications. When you do, you may be able to import information from those other services and applications and share content from the BeachUp Services with those outside services and applications. Some of those third party services may also provide us with information from your accounts which may enable us to enhance and personalize your use of BeachUp Services. If parents on behalf of their children choose to use these outside services or applications on BeachUp Services, the information you share with those outside services and applications will be covered by their privacy policies. Parents on behalf of their children may opt in or out of accessing outside services and applications at any time.
• Automatically Collected Information. We automatically receive certain types of information when you interact with BeachUp Services and communications. For example, it is standard for your Web browser to automatically send information to every Web site you visit, including ours. That information includes your computer’s IP address, access times, your browser type and language, and referring Web site addresses. We may also collect information about the type of operating system you use, your account activity, and files and pages accessed or used by you.
• Cookies. We may also use certain kinds of technology such as cookies to collect information. Among other things, the use of cookies and Web beacons enables us to improve BeachUp Services and emails by seeing which areas and features are most popular, to count the number of computers, mobile phones or other devices accessing BeachUp Services, to personalize and improve your experience, to record your preferences, and to allow you to visit BeachUp Services without reentering your member ID and/or password. A cookie is a small amount of data which is sent to your browser from a Web site’s computers and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Most browsers automatically accept cookies as the default setting. You can modify your browser setting to reject our cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie by editing your browser options. However, if a browser is set not to accept cookies or if a user rejects a cookie, some portions of BeachUp Services may not function properly. For example, you may not be able to sign in and access certain features of the BeachUp Services. A Web beacon is an electronic image, also called a “gif,” that may be used on BeachUp Services to deliver cookies, count visits and compile statistics on usage or in our emails to tell if an email has been opened and acted upon. We also use Google Analytics to help us understand how users engage with our Services. The information collected and how it is used is described at http://www.google.com/intl/en/analytics/privacyoverview.html

In general, we use your personal information to process your requests or transactions, to provide you with information or services you request, to inform you about other information, events, promotions, products or services we think will be of interest to you, to facilitate your use of and our administration and operation of BeachUp Services, and to otherwise provide BeachUp Services and serve you and our users. For example, we may use your personal information:

We may disclose information to a third party to (a) comply with laws or respond to lawful requests and legal process, (b) to protect BeachUp, agents, customers, and others including to enforce our agreements, policies and terms of use or (c) in the good faith belief that disclosure is needed to respond to questions of any person.

Inviting family and friends to join.

Every once in a while, we may start a business relationship with other businesses who we think are trustworthy and who have confirmed that their privacy practices are consistent with ours (“Service Providers”). For example, we may hire Service Providers to provide services like hosting and maintenance, data storage and management, and marketing and promotions. We only provide our Service Providers with the information they need to perform these services for us. Each Service Provider must agree to use reasonable security procedures and practices, appropriate to the type of information involved, in order to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Service Providers are prohibited from using Personal Information except as we tell them.

We may share personal information in connection with an acquisition, merger, or sale of all or a substantial portion of our business, with or to another company. In any such event, you will receive notice if your data is transferred and becomes subject to a substantially different privacy policy.

BeachUp takes reasonable steps to protect information we collect from you to prevent loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
The servers on which information is stored are kept in a controlled environment with limited access. While we take reasonable efforts to guard personal information we knowingly collect directly from you, no security system is impenetrable. In addition, we cannot guarantee that any passively collected personal information you choose to include in documents you store on our systems or the systems of third party storage providers through BeachUp Services are maintained at adequate levels of protection to meet specific needs or obligations you may have relating to that information.

BeachUp may send you communications or data regarding BeachUp Services, including but not limited to (i) notices about your use of BeachUp Services, including any notices concerning violations of use, (ii) updates, and (iii) promotional information and materials regarding our products and services. You may optout of receiving promotional emails from BeachUp by following the optout instructions provided in those emails.

Optout requests will not apply to transactional service messages, such as security alerts and notices about your current account and services. Parents on behalf of their children may also select or disable certain features of BeachUp Services.
