Privacy Policy

We collect information in multiple ways, including when you provide information directly to us; when we passively collect information from you, such as from your browser or device; and from third parties.

Information You Provide Directly to Us

We will collect any information you provide to us. We may collect information from you in a variety of ways, such as when you: (a) contact us or provide feedback. This information may include, but is not limited to, your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, payment information, and geographic location.

We automatically collect information.

Device/Usage Information

We automatically collect information about the devices you use to access our Services. This includes device details like IP addresses, location (country and city), unique identifiers, browser type, operating system, and more. We also track how you interact with the Services, such as the pages you visit, clicks, and time spent. We may employ third-party analytics tools like cookies to help gather this data.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

We gather data about your use of our Services through internet server logs and tracking technologies like cookies and tracking pixels. A web server log records website activity, while a cookie is a small file that stores preferences and helps us recognize your computer. They enhance your experience and assist in analytics and security. 

Information from Third Parties

We may collect information from third parties, such as public sources, social media platforms, and marketing research firms, in accordance with legal regulations. This information may encompass names, contact details, demographics, employer information, identity verification, trustworthiness, and data for fraud or safety protection measures.

We may use the information we collect from and about you to:

• Fulfill the purposes for which you provided it.

• Provide and improve the Services, including to develop new features or services, take steps to secure the Services, and for technical and customer support.

• Send you information about your interaction or transactions with us, account alerts, or other communications, such as newsletters to which you have subscribed.

• Process and respond to your inquiries or to request your feedback.

• Conduct analytics, research, and reporting, including to synthesize and derive insights from your use of our Services.

• Comply with the law and protect the safety, rights, property, or security of TK Therapeutic Services, the Services, our users, and the general public; and

• Enforce our Terms and Conditions, including to investigate potential violations thereof.

Please note that we may combine information that we collect from you and about you (including automatically collected information) with information we obtain about you from our affiliates and/or non-affiliated third parties, and use such combined information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We may aggregate and/or de-identify information collected through the Services. We may use de-identified and/or aggregated data for any purpose, including without limitation for research and marketing purposes.

We may disclose and/or share your information under the following circumstances:

Service Providers.

We may disclose your information with third parties who perform services on our behalf, including without limitation, event management, marketing, customer support, data storage, data analysis and processing, and legal services.

Legal Compliance and Protection of Creative Commons and Others.

We may disclose your information if required by law or in good faith belief that it is necessary for the following reasons: (a) to comply with legal processes; (b) to enforce our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy, including investigating potential violations; (c) to uphold our Charter and Code of Conduct; (d) to address your customer service requests; and/or (e) to safeguard the rights, property, or safety of TK Therapeutic Services, our agents, affiliates, users, and the public. This may involve sharing information with other companies and organizations for purposes like fraud protection and spam/malware prevention.

Business Transfers.

As we continue to develop our business, we may engage in certain business transactions, such as the transfer or sale of our assets. In such transactions, (including in contemplation of such transactions, e.g., due diligence) we may disclose your information. If we sell or transfer any of our assets to a third party, customer information (including your email address) would likely be one of the transferred business assets.

Affiliated Companies.

We may disclose your information with current or future affiliated companies.

Consent.

We may disclose your information to any third parties based on your consent to do so.

Aggregate/De-identified Information.

We may disclose de-identified and/or aggregated data for any purpose to third parties, including advertisers, promotional partners, and/or others.

In some jurisdictions, laws require companies to inform you about the legal basis they rely on to use or disclose information that can be directly linked to or used to identify you. To the extent those laws apply, our legal grounds for processing such information are as follows:

To Honor Our Contractual Commitments to You. 

Much of our processing of information is to meet our contractual obligations to provide services to our users.

Legitimate Interests.

In many cases, we handle information because it furthers our legitimate interests in ways that are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the affected individuals. These interests include:

• Customer service

• Marketing, advertising, and fundraising

• Protecting our users, personnel, and property

• Organizing and running events and programs

• Analyzing and improving our business

• Managing legal issues

We may also process information for the same legitimate interests of our users and business partners.

Legal Compliance.

We may need to use and disclose information in certain ways to comply with our legal obligations.

Consent.

Where required by law, and in some other cases where legally permissible, we handle information on the basis of consent. Where we handle your information on the basis of consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent; in accordance with applicable law.

Online Analytics

We utilize third-party web analytics services like Google Analytics to collect and analyze the information mentioned earlier, and for auditing, research, and reporting purposes. This includes data like your IP address. These service providers receive or directly collect this information, using it to assess your use of the Services, analyze trends, aid in fraud prevention, and offer specific features. If you wish to prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you can install the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

International Transfers

As described above in the “When We Disclose Your Information” section, we may share your information with trusted service providers or business partners in countries other than your country of residence in accordance with applicable law. This means that some of your information may be processed in countries that may not provide the same level of protection as the privacy laws of your jurisdiction. By providing us with your information, you acknowledge any such transfer, storage or use.

If we provide any information about you to any third parties information processors located outside of the EEA, we will take appropriate measures to ensure such companies protect your information adequately in accordance with this Privacy Policy and other data protection laws to govern the transfers of such data.

Security Measures

We have implemented technical, physical, and organizational security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and/or alteration of your information. These safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the information that we collect and store. However, we cannot and do not guarantee that these measures will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose your information since despite our efforts, no Internet and/or other electronic transmissions can be completely secure.

Children

We have designed the Services for users aged 18 and above, and they are not intended for children under 13 years old. If we discover that we have collected personal information (as defined by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) from children under 13, or personal data (as defined by the EU GDPR) from children under 16, we will promptly take reasonable steps to delete it.

Data Retention

We retain the information we collect for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy or as long as we are legally required or permitted to do so. Information may persist in copies made for backup and business continuity purposes for additional time.

Third-Party Links and Services

The Services may have links to third-party websites (like social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram), third-party plug-ins (like the Facebook “like” button and Instagram “follow” button), and other services. If you choose to use these features, you may disclose your information not only to those third parties but also to their users and the public, depending on how their services operate. Creative Commons is not accountable for the content or privacy practices of these third-party websites or services. Their respective privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy, will govern the handling of your information. We recommend reviewing the privacy statements of each site you visit.
