This Privacy Policy explains what Personal Data (defined below) we collect, how we use and share that data, and your choices concerning our data practices.

This Privacy Policy constitutes an integral part of our Terms of Service, accessible at: https://www.sibila.app/terms. Please read this Privacy Policy before using our Service or submitting any Personal Data to Sibila and contact us if you have any questions.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you contact us or interact with our Service, we collect information that alone or in combination with other information could be used to identify you («Personal Data») as follows:

Personal Data You Provide to Us: We collect Personal Data when you sign up for our Service through the Site or an Sibila App or contact us. The Personal Data collected during these interactions may vary based on what you choose to share with us, but it may include any of the following:
- Account Data: When you sign up, some information is required to create an account on our Service, such as your name, username, email address, and mailing address.
- Payment Data: If you choose to purchase a subscription to our Service via credit card, debit card or other payment method, our third party payments processor (Stripe, Inc. or «Stripe») will process certain payment and billing information, such as billing address, payment card details, and authentication features. That information is collected by Stripe directly, and we do not collect or store it. If you have questions about how Stripe protects such information, please read Stripe’s services agreement and privacy policy.
- Social Media Data: We have pages («Social Media Pages») on social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, and LinkedIn (each a «Social Media Site»). The platforms that host our Social Media Pages or Social Media Features may provide us with aggregate information and analytics regarding the use of our Social Media Pages and Social Media Features.
- User Generated Content: User-generated content, such as profile pictures, photos, images, videos, posts, comments, questions, messages, user interactions, and other content or information that you generate, transmit, or otherwise make available on the Service, as well as associated metadata. Metadata includes information on how, when, where and by whom a piece of content was collected and how that content has been formatted or edited. Metadata also includes information that users can add or can have added to their content, such as keywords, geographical or location information, and other similar data.
- Contacts Book Data: Our mobile applications may allow you to synchronize the numbers in your Contacts address book on a regular basis in order to identify any friends and/or relatives who use the Service. When you do so, we will ensure that the relevant data is encrypted and will not use it for any purpose other than matching your contacts to users of the Service. If any of your contacts are using the Service, we will let you know so that you can connect with them. You can revoke our access to your Contacts address book at any time through your mobile device settings.
- Additional Information: To help improve your experience or enable certain features of the Service, you may choose to provide us with additional information, such as your date of birth/age, height, weight, gender, profile picture, city of residence, community username, statistics on your hiking and biking history and your reviews and photographs of trails.
Information We Generate From Your Use of Our Service: When you visit, use, interact and register with the Service, we may automatically generate certain information about your visit, use, interactions or registration. For example, we may monitor the number of people that visit our Site or Sibila Apps, peak hours of visits, which page(s) are visited on our Site or Sibila Apps, the domains our visitors come from (e.g., google.com, yahoo.com, etc.), and which browsers people use to access and visit our Site (e.g., Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, etc.), broad geographical information, and Site- and Sibila Appnavigation pattern. In particular, the following information is created and automatically logged in our systems:
- Log Data: Information that your browser automatically sends whenever you visit the Site or Sibila Apps. Log data includes your IP address (so we understand which country you are connecting from when you visit the Site or Sibila Apps), browser type and settings, the date and time of your request, and how you interacted with the Site or Sibila Apps.
- Cookies Data: We use cookies and similar technologies to operate and administer our Site and Sibila Apps, make it easier for you to use the Site and Sibila Apps during future visits, and gather usage data on our Site and Sibila Apps. For more information about the technologies used and information collected on our Site and Sibila Apps, please refer to our Cookie Policy, which forms part of this Privacy Policy.
- Device Data: Includes the model of the device, operating system, and browser you are using. Information collected may depend on the type of device you use and its settings. We may also collect data from your device to estimate a variety of metrics like the time, frequency and duration of, and calories burned during, your activities for the purpose of calculating your Usage and Activity Data (described below).
- Usage and Activity Data: We collect information about how you use our Site and Sibila Apps, such as the types of content that you view or engage with, the features you use, the actions you take, and the time, frequency and duration of, and calories burned during, your activities.
- Geolocation Data: If you have enabled location services for an Sibila App on your mobile device or on your computer via the Site, we may collect your precise location information based on city, state, zip code, country, latitude and longitude. Sibila may also derive your approximate location from the IP address of your computer or mobile device. Geolocation data is used for purposes of directing you to nearby trails and parks and offering other relevant content and services.
- Session Replay Data: We use third party services provided by Hotjar that employ software code to record users’ interactions with the Services in a manner that allows us to watch DVR-like replays of those user sessions. The replays include users’ clicks, mobile app touches, mouse movements, and scrolls during those sessions. These replays help us diagnose usability problems and identify areas for improvement. You can learn more about Hotjar at https://www.hotjar.com/ legal/policies/privacy/ and you can opt-out of session recording by Hotjar at https:// http://www.hotjar.com/legal/policies/do-not-track/.
Information We Receive From Third Parties. If you elect to authenticate to our Service using your account on another service (such as a Facebook, Google, or Apple account), we may receive from the other service information like your external account name as well as other information you may choose to make available to us based on your external account settings, such as contact lists and profile photos (if any). You can stop sharing the information from the other service with us by removing our access to that other service.

HOW WE USE PERSONAL DATA

We use your Personal Data for a variety of purposes, which are listed in the table below. If we need to use your Personal Data for an unrelated purpose, we will update this Privacy Policy to explain any such new purpose.

In addition, in respect of each of the purposes for which we use your Personal Data, privacy laws in certain jurisdictions require us to ensure that we have a ‘legal basis’ for that use. Most commonly, we will rely on one of the following legal bases:

Where we need to process your Personal Data to deliver our Service to you, or to otherwise perform our contractual obligations to you («Contractual Necessity»).
Where we need to process your Personal Data for our legitimate business interests, and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests («Legitimate Interests»).
Where we need to process your Personal Data to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation («Compliance with Law»).
Where we have your specific consent to carry out the processing for the purpose in question («Consent»).

We have set out below, in a table format, the various purposes and legal bases we rely on in respect of the processing of your Personal Data:

— TABLA —

Marketing. We may contact you to provide information we believe will be of interest to you. For instance, if you elect to provide your email address, we may use that information to send you promotional information about our products and services. If we do, we will only send you such emails if you consent to us doing so at the time you provide us with your Personal Data. You may opt out of receiving emails at any time by following the instructions contained in each promotional email we send you or by contacting us. If you unsubscribe from our marketing lists, you will no longer receive marketing communications but we will continue to contact you regarding our Site and Services and to respond to your requests.

HOW WE SHARE AND DISCLOSE PERSONAL DATA

In certain circumstances, we may share your Personal Data with third parties without further notice to you, unless required by the law, as set forth below:

Pursuant to our instructions, these parties will access, process or store Personal Data in the course of performing their duties to us.
Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of all or a portion of our assets, or transition of service to another provider, your Personal Data and other information may be shared in the diligence process with counterparties and others assisting with the transaction and transferred to a successor or affiliate as part of that transaction along with other assets.
Legal Requirements: If required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including to respond to lawful requests from public authorities and to meet national security or law enforcement requirements, (ii) protect and defend our rights or property, (iii) prevent fraud, (iv) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Site, or the public, or (v) protect against legal liability.

Your profile and other User Generated Content (except for private messages) may be visible to other users of the Service (which may include all users of the Service or a limited number of users, depending on your privacy settings). For example, other users of the Service may have access to your information if you chose to make your profile or other personal information available to them through the Service, and may also have access to content that you submit to the Service such as when you provide comments, reviews, survey responses, or share other content.

Right of access: If you ask us, we will confirm whether we are processing your Personal Data and, if so, provide you with a copy of that Personal Data along with certain other details.
Right to rectification: If your Personal Data is inaccurate or incomplete, you are entitled to ask that we correct or complete it.

If we shared your data with others, we will tell them about the erasure where possible. If you ask us, and where possible and lawful to do so, we will also tell you with whom we shared your Personal Data with so you can contact them directly.
Right to restrict processing: You may ask us to restrict or ‘block’ the processing of your Personal Data in certain circumstances, such as where you contest the accuracy of the data or object to us processing it (please read below for information on your right to object). We will tell you before we lift any restriction on processing. If we shared your Personal Data with others, we will tell them about the restriction where possible.

Typically, you will not have to pay a fee to exercise your rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive, or we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Data. This is a security measure to ensure that your Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month of receipt. Occasionally, it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or if you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

Please see the «Contact Us» section below for information on how to exercise your rights.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Sibila is based in the United States. Some of our vendors and service providers may also be located in the United States or another country. As such, any processing of your Personal Data may involve an export of your Personal Data outside of your country of residence, including to countries which may have data protection laws that are less stringent than the laws in effect in the country in which you are located. Whenever we transfer your Personal Data out of your country of residence, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by implementing appropriate safeguards which comply with applicable privacy laws. If you would like to receive more information about these safeguards, please Contact Us.

SECURITY

You use the Service at your own risk. We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your Personal Data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed, which comply with industry standards and applicable privacy laws. However, no Internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error free. In particular, email sent to or from us may not be secure. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us via the Service or email. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any Personal Data to Sibila via the Internet. In addition, we are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Service, or third party websites.

We have also put in place procedures to deal with any actual or suspected data breach. In the event of any such breach, we have systems in place to work with applicable regulators. In addition, in certain circumstances (e.g., where we are legally required to do so), we may notify you of breaches affecting your Personal Data.
