6. Sweepstakes, Contests, Promotions.
From time to time, PersonalityDNA or a partner may sponsor a promotion, sweepstake, survey, or contest (each a “Promotion”). In order to participate in a Promotion, you may be asked to provide information, including your name, email address, postal address, and/or answers to certain other questions that may be applicable. When you voluntarily enter a promotion, we share information as set out in the official rules that govern the promotion as well as for administrative purposes and as required by law (e.g., on a winners list). By entering a promotion, you agree to the official rules that govern that Promotion, and may, except where prohibited by applicable law, allow the sponsor and/or other parties to use your name, voice and/or likeness in advertising or marketing materials.
7. Events and Public Information.
Certain information that you submit to us, such as your picture, social media handles, username, any events hosted on or off the Service, event type and topic(s), users followed, and text or video comments, will automatically be displayed to other users of the Service and may be shared outside the Service. Your phone number and email address will not be displayed to other users. In the case of the events hosted on and off the Service, including live streaming events, public events will be displayed to all users, while private events will be limited to users you've designated as friends. Public events may also be embedded in services or platforms owned and/or operated by other entities that are viewable to individuals outside of the Service.
If you make information public through the Service, including sensitive information such as information regarding health or mental condition or disease, other people will have access to it. Please think carefully before making information public or viewable as you are solely responsible for information you make public or available to other users of the Service. Do not submit any videos of identifiable individuals or content where you do not own or have licenses to all underlying rights. Once you have posted information, you may not be able to edit or delete such information; however, California residents have additional rights as set forth in the “Additional Disclosures” section below.
8. Other Parties.
Our Service contains content from and hyperlinks to other websites, locations, platforms, and services owned and operated by other parties. In addition, our Service integrates technologies operated and controlled by other parties.
Some examples include:
Remember that when you interact with other parties, including when you leave our Service, those parties may independently collect information about you and may solicit information from you. The information collected and stored by those parties remains subject to their own policies and practices, including what information they share with us, your rights and choices on their services and devices, and whether they store information in the U.S. or elsewhere. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with and consult their privacy policies and terms of use.
9. Analytics and Advertising.
We use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to help us understand how users access and use the Service. In addition, we work with agencies, advertisers, ad networks, and other technology services to place ads about our products and services on other websites and services. For example, we place ads through Google and Facebook that you may view on their platforms as well as on other websites and services.
As part of this process, we may incorporate tracking technologies on our Service (including our website and emails) as well as into our ads displayed on other websites and services to help us analyze your use of the Service, compile statistic reports on the Service’s activity, and provide other services relating to Service activity and internet usage. Some of these tracking technologies may track your activities across time and services for purposes of associating the different devices you use, and delivering relevant ads and/or other content to you (“Interest-based Advertising”).
As indicated above, vendors and other parties may act as our service providers, or in certain contexts, independently decide how to process your information. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with and consult their privacy policies and terms of use.
For further information on the types of tracking technologies and your choices regarding them, please see “Information Collected Automatically” above and “Your Rights and Choices” below.
10. Your Rights and Choices.
A. Accessing Your Information.
You may access, modify, or remove certain information that you have voluntarily submitted to us through your account at any time by logging in to your account and accessing your organizer profile. Please note that we will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. California residents have additional rights set forth in the “Additional Disclosures” section below.
B. Tracking Technology Choices.
Please be aware that if you disable or remove tracking technologies, some parts of the Service may not function correctly.
C. Analytics and Interest-Based Advertising.
You may exercise choices regarding certain information collected by Google Analytics by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and by Google Analytics for Display Advertising or the Google Display Network at https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
The companies we work with to provide you with targeted ads are required by us to give you the choice to opt out of receiving targeted ads. Most of these companies are participants of the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") and/or the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To learn more about the DAA and how you can exercise certain choices regarding Interest-based Advertising, visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices, and http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices for information on the DAA’s opt out program for mobile apps. To learn more about the NAI and your opt out options for their members, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Please be aware that, even if you are able to opt out of certain kinds of Interest-based Advertising, you will continue to receive other types of ads. Opting out only means that those selected members should no longer deliver certain Interest-based Advertising to you, but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads (e.g., in connection with the participants’ other customers or from other technology services).
You may also limit our use of information collected from or about your mobile device for purposes of serving targeted ads to you by going to your device settings and selecting “Limit Ad Tracking” (for iOS devices) or “Opt out of Interest-Based Ads” (for Android devices).
Please note that if you opt out of using any of these methods, the opt out will only apply to the specific browser or device from which you opt out. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any opt out options or programs, or the accuracy of any other entities’ statements regarding their opt out options or programs.
D. Communications.
We may communicate with you via email for any reason set forth in “How We Use Information” above, including to send you a link for resetting your password, if you have forgotten your password and request an email, if you submit feedback and specifically request that we respond via email, when you send/receive friend requests to/from other people, to notify you of changes to our policies or technical issues, or for marketing communications purposes.
You can opt-out of receiving promotional communications (emails and push notifications) from us at any time by (i) for emails, following the instructions as provided in emails to click on the unsubscribe link, or contacting us here with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject field of the email; and (ii) for push notifications or in-app messages, adjusting the permissions in your mobile device. Please note that your opt-out is limited to the email address and/or device used and will not affect subsequent subscriptions or, for emails, non-promotional communications, such as those about your account, transactions, servicing, PersonalityDNA’ ongoing business relations.
Please note that your opt out is limited to the email address, device, and phone number used and will not affect subsequent subscriptions.
11. Children.
The Service is intended for a general audience and not directed to children. PersonalityDNA does not knowingly collect personal information (as defined by the U.S. Children’s Privacy Protection Act, or “COPPA”). If you are a parent or guardian and believe PersonalityDNA has collected personal information in a manner not permitted by COPPA, please email us support@pdna.com. We will remove the personal information to the extent required by COPPA. We do not knowingly “sell,” as that term is defined under the CCPA, the personal information of minors under 16 years old who are California residents.
If you are a California resident under 18 years old and registered to use the Service, you can ask us to remove any content or information you have posted on the Service. To make a request, email us at the email address set out in “Contact Us” section with “California Under 18 Content Removal Request” in the subject line, and tell us what you want removed. We will make reasonable good faith efforts to remove the post from prospective public view, although we cannot ensure the complete or comprehensive removal of the content and may retain the content as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
12. Data Security.
We implement and maintain reasonable administrative, physical, and technical security safeguards to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Nevertheless, transmission via the internet is not completely secure and we cannot guarantee the security of your information collected through our Service.
13. International Transfer.
We are based in the U.S. and the information we collect is governed by U.S. law. If you are accessing the Service from outside of the U.S., please be aware that information collected through the Service may be transferred to, processed, stored and used in the U.S. and other jurisdictions. Data protection laws in the U.S. and other jurisdictions may be different from those of your country of residence. Your use of the Service or provision of any information therefore constitutes your consent to the transfer to and from, processing, usage, sharing and storage of your information in the U.S. and other jurisdictions as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
14. Changes to this Privacy Policy.
We reserve the right to revise and reissue this Privacy Policy at any time. Whenever we change this Privacy Policy, we will post the revised Privacy Policy to our website, and other places we deem appropriate, so you are always aware of our privacy practices. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting of the revised Privacy Policy. Your continued use of our Service indicates your consent to the Privacy Policy then posted. If the changes are material, we may provide you additional notice to your email address.

16. Additional Disclosures for Nevada Residents.
Nevada law (NRS 603A.340) requires each business to establish a designated request address where Nevada consumers may submit requests directing the business not to sell certain kinds of personal information that the business has collected or will collect about the consumer. A sale under Nevada law is the exchange of personal information for monetary consideration by the business to a third party for the third party to license or sell the personal information to other third parties. If you are a Nevada consumer and wish to submit a request relating to our compliance with Nevada law, please contact us as at support@pdna.com.
17. Additional Disclosures for California Residents.
These additional disclosures apply only to California residents. The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) provides additional rights to know, delete and opt-out, and requires businesses collecting or disclosing personal information to provide notices and means to exercise rights.
