Our Privacy Principles

Total Transparency

We believe in ‘Total Transparency’. Trust that your privacy is our priority. You should and will always know what data we collect from you and how we use it. We want to empower you to make the best decisions about the information that you share with us. Our relationship with you is based on trust and loyalty, that’s why we will assure you, we will treat your information differently than other tech companies. Even though LC Services are constantly evolving, our privacy principles remain unchanged:

Minimal amount of personal information

We will only ask you to share the absolute minimum amount of personal data with us. This information will fall into these three basic categories of information:

• Information you provide.

• Information we get when you use our LC services

• Information we get from third parties.

We communicate honestly and openly

When you use LC Services, you share information with us — it is our responsibility to help you understand how that information is used. Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information. We also explain how features use data right inside of our app, and throughout our Support Center. Of course, if you still cannot find what you need, you can always ask! Our phone number is 904-907-6011, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST).

We design LC Services with privacy in mind

LC Services goes through an intense privacy review process. After all, we use these services every day, both at work and in our personal lives. We handle your information with the same care that we use for ourselves, our company, our family, and our friends.

You control your information

You have the right to control your information. That is why we provide easy ways to access and update your information, adjust how much information you share with us, and request that we delete your information — or your account, altogether. You can control most of your privacy settings right in our mobile applications. At the end of the day, it is best to only share the need-to-know stuff with the people you really trust — just like you would in real life. If you ever have any specific questions about your data, don’t hesitate to contact us!

LC Services are only for people 21 years and older. Anyone under 21 years old is strictly prohibited.

Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information we process to support LC Services. You can find additional tools and information in the LC Settings located in the application.

What kinds of information do we collect?

Basic Account Information

When you interact with LC Services, we collect information that you provide to us. For example, most of LC Services require you to set up a LC account, so we need to collect a few important details about you, such as your name, username, pseudonym, password, email address, phone number, and date of birth. We may also ask you to provide us with some additional information that will be publicly visible on LC Services, such as a profile picture or avatar.

Things you and others do and provide.

• Information and content you provide. We collect the content, communications and other information you provide when you use LC Services, including when you sign up for an account, create or share content, and message or communicate with others. This can include information in or about the content you provide (like metadata), such as the location of a photo or the date a file was created. It can also include what you see through features we provide, such as our camera, so we can do things like suggest masks and filters that you might like, or give you tips on using camera formats. Our systems automatically process content and communications you and others provide to analyze context and what's in them for the purposes described below. Learn more about how you can control who can see the things you share.

• Data with special protections: You can choose to provide information in your LC Services events about your religious views, political views, who you are "interested in," or your health. This and other information (such as racial or ethnic origin, philosophical beliefs or trade union membership) could be subject to special protections under the laws of your country.

• Networks and connections. We collect information about the people, Pages, accounts, events, hashtags and groups you are connected to and how you interact with them across our LC Services, such as people you communicate with the most or groups you are part of, which we use for things like helping you and others find people you may know and for the other purposes listed below.

• Your usage. We collect information about how you use our LC Services, such as the types of content you view or engage with; the features you use; the actions you take; the people or accounts you interact with; and the time, frequency and duration of your activities. For example, we log when you're using and have last used our LC Services, and what posts, videos and other content you view on our LC Services. We also collect information about how you use features like our camera.

• Information about financial transactions made on LG Services. You will not use LC Services for purchases or other financial transactions with LC Services or other third parties.

• Things others do and information they provide about you. We also receive and analyze content, communications and information that other people provide when they use our LC Services. This can include information about you, such as when others share or comment on a photo of you, send a message to you, or upload, sync or import your contact information.

Aggregate Data

We may also collect, use and share your data to produce and share aggregated insights that do not identify you. Aggregated data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your usage data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific Platform (apps and web applications) feature, to generate statistics about our users, to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific Platform feature, to calculate ad impressions served or clicked on, or to publish visitor demographics.

 We do not collect special categories of Personal Information about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data). However, particular preferences depend on how you use our Platform and services. The processing of such Sensitive Personal Information may be necessary to provide some of our service to you.

• Service providers. To our authorized service providers that perform certain services on our behalf. These services may include fulfilling orders, processing credit card payments, risk and fraud detection and mitigation, providing customer service, performing business and sales analysis, customization of content, analytics, security, supporting our Platform functionality, surveys and other features offered through our Platform. These service providers may have access to Personal Information needed to perform their functions but are not permitted to share or use such information for any other purposes. 

• You may opt out of the DoubleClick cookie or of Google Analytics by visiting the Google advertising opt-out page or by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at Google Analytics opt-out page.

Our Policy Towards Minors

Our Platform (apps and web applications) is not directed to persons under the age of 21 or the applicable age of majority in the jurisdiction from which the Platform is accessed and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from minors and persons under 21. If you become aware that your child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us at support@leafycabinet.com. If we become aware that a minor or person under the age of 21 has provided us with Personal Information, we take steps to remove such information and terminate that person’s account.

II. How is this information shared?

Your information is shared with others in the following ways:

Sharing on LC Services

People and accounts you share and communicate with

When you share and communicate using LC Services, you choose the audience for what you share. For example, when you post on LC Services, you select the audience for the post, such as a group, all of your LC friends-Buds, the public, or a customized list of people. Similarly, when you use LC Messenger-The Vine to communicate with people, those people can see the content you send. Your network can also see actions you have taken on LC Services, including engagement with ads and sponsored content. We also let other accounts see who has viewed their LC Stories aka Leafy Vibes.

Public information can be seen by anyone, on or off our LC Services, including if they don't have an account. This includes your LC Services username; any information you share with a public audience; and content you share on a LC Services account. You, other people using LC Services, and we can provide access to or send public information to anyone on or off LC Services, through tools and APIs. Public information can also be seen, accessed, reshared or downloaded through third-party services such as search engines, APIs, and offline media such as TV, and by apps, websites and other services that integrate with our LC Services.

Learn more about what information is public and how to control your visibility on LC Services.

Content others share or reshare about you

You should consider who you choose to share with, because people who can see your activity on LC Services can choose to share it with others on and off LC Services, including people and businesses outside the audience you shared with. For example, when you share a post or send a message to specific Buds or accounts, they can download, screenshot, or reshare that content to others across or off LC Services, in person or in virtual reality experiences. Also, when you comment on someone else's post or react to their content, your comment or reaction is visible to anyone who can see the other person's content, and that person can change the audience later.

People can also use LC Services to create and share content about you with the audience they choose. For example, people can share a photo of you in a Story, mention or tag you at a location in a post, or share information about you in their posts or messages. If you are uncomfortable with what others have shared about you on our LC Services, you can learn how to report the content.

Information about your active status or presence on our LC Services.

People in your networks can see signals telling them whether you are active on LC, including whether you are currently active on LC or when you last used LC.

Apps, websites, and third-party integrations on or using LC Services.

When you choose to use third-party apps, websites, or other services that use, or are integrated with, our LC Services, they can receive information about what you post or share. Also, when you download or use such third-party services, they can access your public profile on LC Services, and any information that you share with them. Apps and websites you use may receive your list of your Buds if you choose to share it with them. But apps and websites you use will not be able to receive any other information about your Buds from you (although your Buds may, of course, choose to share this information themselves). Information collected by these third-party services is subject to their own terms and policies, not this one.

Devices and operating systems providing native versions of LC Services (i.e. where we have not developed our own first-party apps) will have access to all information you choose to share with them, including information your Buds share with you, so they can provide our core functionality to you.

Note: We are in the process of restricting developers’ data access even further to help prevent abuse. For example, we will remove developers' access to your LC Services to include only name, LC username and bio, pseudonym, profile photo and email address. Requesting any other data will require our approval.

New owner.

If the ownership or control of all or part of LC Services or their assets changes, we may transfer your information to the new owner.

Sharing with Third-Party Partners.

We work with third-party partners who help us provide and improve our LC Services or who use LC Services to grow their businesses, which makes it possible to operate our companies and provide free services to people around the world. We don't sell any of your information to anyone, and we never will. We also impose strict restrictions on how our partners can use and disclose the data we provide. Here are the types of third parties we share information with:

Partners who use our analytics services.

We provide aggregated statistics and insights that help people and businesses understand how people are engaging with their posts, listings, pages, videos and other content on and off the LC Services. For example, LC Services profiles receive information about the number of people or accounts who viewed, reacted to, or commented on their posts, as well as aggregate demographic and other information that helps them understand interactions with their account.

Advertisers.

We have to pay the bills. We provide advertisers with reports about the kinds of people seeing their ads and how their ads are performing, but we do not share information that personally identifies you (information such as your name or email address that by itself can be used to contact you or identifies who you are) unless you give us permission. For example, we provide general demographic and interest information to advertisers (for example, that an ad was seen by a woman between the ages of 25 and 34 who lives in Madrid and likes software engineering) to help them better understand their audience. We also confirm which LC Services ads led you to make a purchase or take an action with an advertiser.

Measurement partners.

We share information about you with companies that aggregate it to provide analytics and measurement reports to our partners.

Partners offering goods and services in our LC Services.

When you subscribe to receive premium content, or buy something from a seller in our LC Services, the content creator or seller can receive your public information and other information you share with them, as well as the information needed to complete the transaction, including shipping and contact details.

Vendors and service providers.

We provide information and content to vendors and service providers who support our business, such as by providing technical infrastructure services (e.g., AWS, Microsoft Azure, PubNub, et al), analyzing how our LC Services are used, providing customer service or conducting surveys.

Researchers and academics.

We also provide information and content to research partners and academics to conduct research that advances scholarship and innovation that support our business or mission, and enhances discovery and innovation on topics of general social welfare, technological advancement, public interest, health and well-being.

Law enforcement or legal requests.

We share information with law enforcement or in response to legal requests in the circumstances outlined below.

Learn more about how you can control the information about you that you or others share with third-party partners in the LC Settings.

III. How can I manage or delete information about me?

We provide you with the ability to access, rectify, port and erase your data. Learn more in your LC Settings.

We store data until it is no longer necessary to provide our LC Services, or until your account is deleted - whichever comes first. This is a case-by-case determination that depends on things like the nature of the data, why it is collected and processed, and relevant legal or operational retention needs. For example, when you search for something on LC Services, you can access and delete that query from within your search history at any time, but the log of that search is deleted after 6 months. If you submit a copy of your government-issued ID for account verification purposes, we delete that copy 30 days after submission. Learn more about deletion of content you have shared, when you choose to delete something you shared on LC Services, we remove it from the site.

When you delete your account, we delete things you have posted, such as your photos and status updates, and you will not be able to recover that information later. Leafy Cabinet is not responsible for maintaining content posted to the site and will be held harmless against damage claims for loss of content whether removed by the user or deleted by LC Services. Information that others have shared about you isn't part of your account and won't be deleted. If you don't want to delete your account but want to temporarily stop using the LC Services, you can deactivate your account instead. To delete your account at any time, please visit the LC Settings

IV. How do we respond to legal requests or prevent harm?

We access, preserve and share your information with regulators, law enforcement or others:

• In response to a legal request (like a search warrant, court order or subpoena) if we have a good faith belief that the law requires us to do so. This may include responding to legal requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States when we have a good-faith belief that the response is required by law in that jurisdiction, affects users in that jurisdiction, and is consistent with internationally recognized standards.

• When we have a good-faith belief it is necessary to: detect, prevent and address fraud, unauthorized use of the LC Services, violations of our terms or policies, or other harmful or illegal activity; to protect ourselves (including our rights, property or LC Services), you or others, including as part of investigations or regulatory inquiries; or to prevent death or imminent bodily harm. For example, if relevant, we provide information to and receive information from third-party partners about the reliability of your account to prevent fraud, abuse and other harmful activity on and off our LC Services.

Information we receive about you can be accessed and preserved for an extended period when it is the subject of a legal request or obligation, governmental investigation, or investigations of possible violations of our terms or policies, or otherwise to prevent harm. We also retain information from accounts disabled for terms violations for at least a year to prevent repeat abuse or other term violations.

VI. How do we operate and transfer data as part of our global services?

We share information globally and with our partners and with those you connect and share with around the world in accordance with this policy. Your information may, for example, be transferred or transmitted to, or stored and processed in the United States or other countries outside of where you live for the purposes as described in this policy. These data transfers are necessary to provide the services set forth in the LC Terms and conditions and to globally operate and provide our LC Services to you. We utilize standard contract clauses, rely on the European Commission's adequacy decisions about certain countries, as applicable, and obtain your consent for these data transfers to the United States and other countries.

VII. How will we notify you of changes to this policy?

We'll notify you before we make changes to this policy and give you the opportunity to review the revised policy before you choose to continue using our LC Services.

VIII. How to contact LC Services with questions

You can learn more about how privacy works LC Services Privacy Settings. If you have questions about this policy, you can contact us as described below.
