Information We Collect and How We Collect It

We may collect information, including Individually Identifiable Information, when you provide such information to us directly, such as when you send us an email, fill out a form on the Website or otherwise interact with us.

How We Use Your Information

We may use Individually Identifiable Information and other information as described herein including for the following purposes:

  • To contact you about and provide you and our clients with our services;
  • To operate the Website and to provide you with any specific services that you have requested;
  • To process any donations or participation in an event;
  • To deliver content offerings relevant to your interests;
  • To respond to law enforcement requests and as required by applicable law, court order, legal process, or governmental regulation;

  • To investigate suspected fraud, harassment, or other violations of any law, rule, or regulation, or the policies for the Website;
  • In connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or the sale, merger, or change of control of Team Daya or the division responsible for the services with which your information is associated;
  • To add you to our mailing lists and send you emails from time to time; and
  • For any additional purposes that you specifically consent to.

Special Information will not be used for any marketing purposes.

We reserve the right to supplement your Individually Identifiable Information with information we gather from other sources which may include online and offline sources. For example, from time to time, we will receive Individually Identifiable Information about you from third parties. We may also collect personal information about you from publicly available sources or media reports.

We reserve the right to use and disclose information that is not Individually Identifiable Information in any manner permitted by law except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy. Furthermore, we may permit our vendors and subcontractors to access your Individually Identifiable Information, but they are only permitted to do so in connection with performing services for us. They are not authorized by us to use the information for their own benefit.

As noted above, we may collect information that is not Individually Identifiable Information (“Non-Personal Information”). We may aggregate or de-identify Individually Identifiable Information so that the information does not personally identify you or anyone else, such as by using such information for analysis to understand how consumers are interacting with the Website and to improve the Website user experience. Because Non-Personal Information, including aggregate or de-identified information, does not personally identify you, we may collect, use and disclose Non-Personal Information for any purpose permitted by law. In some instances, we may combine Non-Personal Information with Individually Identifiable Information. If we combine any Non-Personal Information with Individually Identifiable Information, the combined information will be treated by us as Individually Identifiable Information.

Third-Party Links

As a convenience to you, we may provide links to third-party websites, apps, or services from within the Website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites, and by providing a link, we are not endorsing or promoting such third-party sites.

Security

The security of your information is very important to us. We attempt to provide for the secure transmission of your information from your devices to our servers by utilizing encryption software. However, due to the inherent open nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that communications between you and Team Daya, or information stored on the Website or our servers, will be free from unauthorized access by third parties such as hackers, and your use of the Website demonstrates your assumption of this risk. We have put in place reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect. Only those employees who need access to your information in order to perform their duties are authorized to have access to your Individually Identifiable Information. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us via the information in the section below titled Contact.

Data Retention

We will retain your information for as long as your inquiry is active or as needed to provide you with the Website and for a reasonable time thereafter in accordance with our standard procedures or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Even if we delete some or all of your information, we may continue to retain and use anonymous or aggregated data previously collected. Please note that we will not be liable for disclosures of your data due to errors or unauthorized acts of third parties.

Protection for Children

Our Website is intended for users ages 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect Individually Identifiable Information from minors. When we become aware that Individually Identifiable Information (or other information that is protected under applicable law) from a child under 18 has been collected, we will use all reasonable efforts to delete such information from our databases. If you believe we might have any Individually Identifiable Information from or about a child under 18, please contact us at https://supportteamdaya.com/contact/.

YOUR RIGHTS, CHOICES AND OPT OUT

Email opt-out

To opt out of any future promotional messages from us, you should send an unsubscribe request to us at https://supportteamdaya.com/contact/. We will process your request within a reasonable time after receipt.

Targeted Advertising opt-out

We may work with third parties who collect information on our Website through the use of cookies and similar methods in order to serve you with relevant advertisements on other services or to determine that you have seen our advertisements on other services.   We also collect and process information to serve you with advertisements through other platforms and services that you use.  You may opt-out of being tracked online by certain companies who are listed at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp and may also learn more about online behavioral advertising at such websites. If you opt-out, you will still receive advertisements, but they will not be delivered to you by such companies from whom you have opted-out based upon your behavioral data possessed by the companies from whom you have opted-out. The opt-out process through the DAA relies upon the placement of an opt-out cookie on your device, and you must repeat this process on each device or if your cookies are purged from your device.  Cookie-based opt-outs are not effective on certain mobile services. Users may opt-out of certain advertisements on mobile applications or reset advertising identifiers via their device settings.   To learn how to limit ad tracking or to reset the advertising identifier on your iOS and Android device, click on the following links:

Data Subject Access Rights

If you are situated in the European Union, Switzerland, or the UK, under the GDPR, as a data subject, you have certain rights regarding your data.  Most state privacy laws in the United States do not apply to non-profit entities, however, to the extent any such laws do apply to you and us, these rights are available to you as well.

  • Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
  • Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully, or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
  • Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
  • Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

To exercise your rights above, please contact us at https://supportteamdaya.com/contact/. Please note that in order for you to assert these rights, we may need to verify your identity to confirm your right to access your personal data. This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. In order to verify your identity, we may need to gather more personal data from you than we currently have.

If you are situated in the EU, UK or Switzerland and have any complaints regarding our privacy practices, you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority.  Team Daya Inc. is the Controller of all personal data we collect through the Website.
