5. How We Secure Personal Information
GeeCool has an information security program to implement reasonable and appropriate industry-standard security controls to protect personal information in its possession. GeeCool also requires its service providers to implement controls that are at least as stringent as the ones GeeCool itself uses, consistent with this policy. GeeCool’s administrative, physical, and technical safeguards:
Provide assurances of the integrity and confidentiality of personal information covered by this policy.
Protect against reasonably anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of personal information, and unauthorized uses or disclosures of such personal information; and facilitate compliance with legal frameworks of requirements under applicable data protection laws.
One example of a security safeguard we use is encryption. Specifically, our mobile applications use encrypted communications when they obtain your personal information and when our payment service receives your payment information to complete orders and obtain payment for products you purchase using our Websites.
The safety and security of your data also depend on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out data in public areas of the App like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the App.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our App. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the App.
6. How We Protect Children's Personal Information
Marketing and Sales to Adults
The App and services are not intended for children under the age of 16 or the equivalent age as specified by law in your jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for purposes of marketing or sales. We also do not collect any personal information from children under the age of 16 without their parent’s or guardian’s consent. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information as soon as possible. If you believe that we have unknowingly collected information about a child in connection with our marketing or sales operations, please contact us using one of the methods in the Contact Information below for us to delete it.
Personal Information of Children Collected in Connection with the Use of Smart Devices
While our App and services are available only to registered adult users, we recognize that family and household members of registered users may be children. We also recognize that registered adult users may, from time to time, permit their family and household members, including children, to use their GeeCool products. Therefore, online accounts maintained by GeeCool, as used by registered adult users, may include personal information of children. Note, persons under the age of 18, or any higher minimum age in the jurisdiction where that person resides, are not permitted to create GeeCool accounts, and we do not ask a child to supply any information to us directly. Rather, a parent or guardian must provide the child’s personal information and consents to the collection and disclosure of their child’s information through his or her account and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
When children's personal information is collected based on the consent of the parent or guardian, we will only use or disclose the information in accordance with GeeCool Privacy Policy For Children. Parents or guardians who need to access, modify, or delete the personal information of their children or people under guardianship can do so directly in their GeeCool account. Alternatively, contact us via the channels provided in the Contact Information below.
7. Exercising Your Rights
If you would like to access the personal account information, and you are a GeeCool user, you can log into the App and make the corrections to the personal information in your account profile. By logging into your account and using your account settings, you can also delete your account, which will delete all your personal information and data. Please note, by deleting your account, you will no longer be able to use the App, services, and GeeCool products’ smart functionalities. If you need assistance, please contact us by one of the means described in the Contact Information below, and someone on our support team will assist you to correct or update your personal information.
Please keep in mind that in unusual circumstances we may have a legal right or obligation to preserve personal information as it currently exists. For example, if you ask us to delete your transaction data while GeeCool is legally obligated to keep a record of that transaction to comply with the 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. If we do not grant your request upon your personal information, we will communicate with you concerning the reason.
If you wish to adjust your personalized content settings, please use the settings menu in the App. If you wish to opt out of or stop receiving any marketing communications from us, please contact us at one of the mechanisms listed in Contact Information below, or for email communications just use the unsubscribe button at the bottom of the email. Nonetheless, even if you opt out of marketing communications, we will still contact you regarding support, administration, and security of our services and products. You can always choose not to provide information, though not providing such information may mean that you may be unable to make a purchase or to take advantage of certain features of our services.
