What Information Do We Collect?

We collect information from you when you visit our app, register on our site, place an order, subscribe to our newsletter, respond to a survey, or fill out a form.

  • Name / Username
  • Age

We also collect information from mobile devices for a better user experience, although these features are completely optional:

  • Photo Gallery (Pictures): Granting photo gallery access allows the user to upload any picture from their photo gallery. You can safely deny photo gallery access for this app.

Any of the information we collect from you may be used in one of the following ways:

  • To personalize your experience (your information helps us to better respond to your individual needs)
  • To improve our app (we continually strive to improve our app offerings based on the information and feedback we receive from you)
  • To improve customer service (your information helps us to more effectively respond to your customer service requests and support needs)
  • To process transactions
  • To administer a contest, promotion, survey, or other site feature
  • To send periodic emails


When Does The Path Use End User Information from Third Parties?

The Path will collect End User Data necessary to provide The Path services to our customers.

End users may voluntarily provide us with information they have made available on social media websites. If you provide us with any such information, we may collect publicly available information from the social media websites you have indicated. You can control how much of your information social media websites make public by visiting these websites and changing your privacy settings.


When Does The Path Use Customer Information from Third Parties?

We receive some information from third parties when you contact us. For example, when you submit your email address to us to show interest in becoming a The Path customer, we receive information from a third party that provides automated fraud detection services to The Path. We also occasionally collect information that is made publicly available on social media websites. You can control how much of your information social media websites make public by visiting these websites and changing your privacy settings.


Do We Share the Information We Collect with Third Parties?

We may share the information that we collect, both personal and non-personal, with third parties such as advertisers, contest sponsors, promotional and marketing partners, and others who provide our content or whose products or services we think may interest you. We may also share it with our current and future affiliated companies and business partners, and if we are involved in a merger, asset sale, or other business reorganization, we may also share or transfer your personal and non-personal information to our successors-in-interest.

We may engage trusted third-party service providers to perform functions and provide services to us, such as hosting and maintaining our servers and the app, database storage and management, e-mail management, storage marketing, credit card processing, customer service, and fulfilling orders for products and services you may purchase through the app. We will likely share your personal information, and possibly some non-personal information, with these third parties to enable them to perform these services for us and for you.

We may share portions of our log file data, including IP addresses, for analytics purposes with third parties such as web analytics partners, application developers, and ad networks. If your IP address is shared, it may be used to estimate general location and other technographics such as connection speed, whether you have visited the app in a shared location, and the type of device used to visit the app. They may aggregate information about our advertising and what you see on the app and then provide auditing, research, and reporting for us and our advertisers.

We may also disclose personal and non-personal information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate in order to respond to claims, legal process (including subpoenas), to protect our rights and interests or those of a third party, the safety of the public or any person, to prevent or stop any illegal, unethical, or legally actionable activity, or to otherwise comply with applicable court orders, laws, rules, and regulations.


Where and When Is Information Collected from Customers and End Users?

The Path will collect personal information that you submit to us. We may also receive personal information about you from third parties as described above.


How Do We Use Your Email Address?

By submitting your email address on this app, you agree to receive emails from us. You can cancel your participation in any of these email lists at any time by clicking on the opt-out link or other unsubscribe option that is included in the respective email. We only send emails to people who have authorized us to contact them, either directly or through a third party. We do not send unsolicited commercial emails, because we hate spam as much as you do. By submitting your email address, you also agree to allow us to use your email address for customer audience targeting on sites like Facebook, where we display custom advertising to specific people who have opted-in to receive communications from us. Email addresses submitted only through the order processing page will be used for the sole purpose of sending you information and updates pertaining to your order. If, however, you have provided the same email to us through another method, we may use it for any of the purposes stated in this Policy. Note: If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, we include detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email.


How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

We keep your information only so long as we need it to provide The Path to you and fulfill the purposes described in this policy. This is also the case for anyone that we share your information with and who carries out services on our behalf. When we no longer need to use your information and there is no need for us to keep it to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, we’ll either remove it from our systems or depersonalize it so that we can't identify you.


How Do We Protect Your Information?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order or enter, submit, or access your personal information. We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our Payment gateway providers' database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems and are required to keep the information confidential. After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) is never kept on file. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the absolute security of any information you transmit to The Path or guarantee that your information on the Service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by a breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.


Could My Information Be Transferred to Other Countries?

The Path is incorporated in Poland. Information collected via our website, through direct interactions with you, or from the use of our help services may be transferred from time to time to our offices or personnel, or to third parties, located throughout the world, and may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have laws of general applicability regulating the use and transfer of such data. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, by using any of the above, you voluntarily consent to the trans-border transfer and hosting of such information.


Is the Information Collected Through The Path Service Secure?

We take precautions to protect the security of your information. We have physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to help safeguard, prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use your information. However, neither people nor security systems are foolproof, including encryption systems. In addition, people can commit intentional crimes, make mistakes or fail to follow policies. Therefore, while we use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If applicable law imposes any non-disclaimable duty to protect your personal information, you agree that intentional misconduct will be the standards used to measure our compliance with that duty.


Can I Update or Correct My Information?

The rights you have to request updates or corrections to the information The Path collects depend on your relationship with The Path. Personnel may update or correct their information as detailed in our internal company employment policies.

Customers have the right to request the restriction of certain uses and disclosures of personally identifiable information as follows. You can contact us in order to (1) update or correct your personally identifiable information, (2) change your preferences with respect to communications and other information you receive from us, or (3) delete the personally identifiable information maintained about you on our systems (subject to the following paragraph), by cancelling your account. Such updates, corrections, changes, and deletions will have no effect on other information that we maintain, or information that we have provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such update, correction, change, or deletion. To protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you profile access or making corrections. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information at all times.

You should be aware that it is not technologically possible to remove each and every record of the information you have provided to us from our system. The need to back up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your information may exist in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate. Promptly after receiving your request, all personal information stored in databases we actively use and other readily searchable media will be updated, corrected, changed, or deleted, as appropriate, as soon as and to the extent reasonably and technically practicable.

If you are an end user and wish to update, delete, or receive any information we have about you, you may do so by contacting the organization of which you are a customer, as they are the data controller for such information.


Privacy Policy Updates

This Privacy Policy is subject to occasional changes at our discretion. We will post any such changes to this page and indicate the date of the latest revision. If the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice, including, for certain services, email notification of Privacy Policy changes. We will also keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy in an archive for your review.


Jurisdiction-specific Provisions

Certain jurisdictions have specific laws regarding the use of personally identifiable information in the context of tracking users for online advertising. The following sections may apply to you if you are a user of our services in a jurisdiction subject to such laws.


Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature. This feature lets you tell websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked over time and across websites. These features are not yet uniform, and there is no standard accepted way of implementing them. This app does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals. If you enable Do Not Track, your usage of the app will not be tracked, as described herein.


Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule ("COPPA")

COPPA requires that online service providers obtain parental consent before they knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from children who are under 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from children under 13; if you are a child under 13, please do not attempt to register for the Services or send any personal information about yourself to us. If we learn we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 13 may have provided us personal information, please contact us at the contact information below.


California Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance (CalOPPA)

CalOPPA requires commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy that's easy to find. The purpose of CalOPPA is to enable California consumers to be aware of how personal information is being used and provide them with the opportunity to control the use of their personal information. For information on how you can control the use of your information, please refer to the section entitled “How Can You Control Your Information?” below.


Anti-Spam Compliance

This app is committed to being compliant with the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography And Marketing Act ("CAN-SPAM Act"), and all other applicable unsolicited commercial email laws. We do not send commercial emails to users who have requested not to be contacted. After you request to be removed from our store, although we can delete your information from our system, your email address will be retained in our database for a period of one year, after which time your email address will be permanently removed from our database.


Your Consent

By using our app, you consent to our privacy policy.


Contacting Us

If you have questions regarding this privacy policy, you may email thepathapp@gmail.com.


Force Majeure

We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform any of our obligations under this Privacy Policy by reasons, events, or other matters beyond our reasonable control.
