We collect information about you from various sources, as described below.

A. Information You Provide to Us.

NFT Submissions. If you choose to submit an NFT through our Services, we will collect information from you, including the link to your NFT, proof of originality, and your email address.

Communications. If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information about you. For example, when you contact our Customer Support Team, we will receive your name, email address, phone number, the contents of a message or attachments that you may send to us, and other information you choose to provide. When we send you emails, we may track whether you open them to learn how to deliver a better customer experience and improve our Services.

Payment Information.  Our third-party payment processor collects payment information, such as credit card or other financial information, where required for the purpose of payment.

  • To generate anonymized, aggregate data containing only de-identified, non-personal information that we may use to publish reports;
  • To send you text messages and push notifications;
  • To facilitate transactions and payments;
  • To find and prevent fraud, and respond to trust and safety issues that may arise;
  • For compliance purposes, including enforcing our Terms and Conditions or other legal rights, or as may be required by applicable laws and regulations or requested by any judicial process or governmental agency; and

How We Share the Information We Collect

Affiliates. We may share any information we receive with our current or future affiliates for any of the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Vendors and Service Providers. We may share any information we receive with vendors and service providers retained in connection with the provision of our Services.

Your Content. Our Services are social services in which you can find, enjoy, and share content. Your username, profile picture, and other profile information will always be viewable and searchable by other users. The content you post to the Services, such as responses to the Daily Dig and content you “thumbs up” will be viewable by other users. Your friends will also be able to see your name associated with your content. The answers and messages you send directly to another user will be visible to that user, but will not be made publicly available. We are not responsible for the other users’ use of available information, so you should carefully consider whether and what to post or how you identify yourself on the Services.

Analytics Partners. We use analytics services such as Google Analytics to collect and process certain analytics data. These services may also collect information about your use of other websites, apps, and online resources. You can learn more about Google’s practices by visitinghttps://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.

Advertising Partners. We work with third-party advertising partners to show you ads that we think may interest you. Some of our advertising partners are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (https://optout.networkadvertising.org) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (https://optout.aboutads.info). If you do not wish to receive personalized ads, please visit their opt-out pages to learn about how you may opt out of receiving web-based personalized ads from member companies. You can access any settings offered by your mobile operating system to limit ad tracking, or you can install the AppChoices mobile app to learn more about how you may opt out of personalized ads in mobile apps.

As Required By Law and Similar Disclosures. We may access, preserve, and disclose your information if we believe doing so is required or appropriate to: (a) comply with law enforcement requests and legal process, such as a court order or subpoena; (b) respond to your requests; or (c) protect your, our, or others’ rights, property, or safety. For the avoidance of doubt, the disclosure of your information may occur if you post any objectionable content on or through the Services.

Merger, Sale, or Other Asset Transfers. We may transfer your information to service providers, advisors, potential transactional partners, or other third parties in connection with the consideration, negotiation, or completion of a corporate transaction in which we are acquired by or merged with another company or we sell, liquidate, or transfer all or a portion of our assets. The use of your information following any of these events will be governed by the provisions of this Privacy Policy in effect at the time the applicable information was collected.

Consent. We may also disclose your information with your permission.

Your Choices

Contacts. If you have given us access to your contacts, you may disable our access through your mobile operating system settings.

Marketing Communications. You can unsubscribe from our promotional emails via the link provided in the emails. Even if you opt out of receiving promotional messages from us, you will continue to receive administrative messages from us.

Blocking Users. You may block friends or other contacts, in which case the user cannot send you carrots, chats, or see your Daily Dig responses.

SMS Messages. You can turn off your ability to receive Carrots sent by other Carrot users via SMS through your Carrot settings.

If you choose not to provide us with information we collect, some features of our Services may not work as intended.

We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any information to them.

Security

We make reasonable efforts to protect your information by using physical and electronic safeguards designed to improve the security of the information we maintain. However, as no electronic transmission or storage of information can be entirely secure, we can make no guarantees as to the security or privacy of your information.

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal information from children under 13 years of age, and no part of our Services is directed to children. If you learn that a child has provided us with personal information in violation of this Privacy Policy, then you may alert us at support@digcarrot.com.

If you are a California resident under the age of 18 and you wish to remove content that you publicly posted, you may submit a request by contacting us at support@digcarrot.com. Removing the public content does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information.

International Visitors

Our Services are hosted in the United States and intended for visitors located within the United States. If you choose to use the Services from the European Union or other regions of the world with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, then please note that you are transferring your personal information outside of those regions to the United States for storage and processing. Also, we may transfer your data from the U.S. to other countries or regions in connection with storage and processing of data, fulfilling your requests, and operating the Services.
