Tanjo Privacy Policy
Scope
The Tanjo service is provided by Tanjo AI LLC.
This Privacy Policy describes how Tanjo collects, processes and stores your personal information. You accept this Privacy Policy when you sign up for or use the Tanjo app and the services provided through use of the Tanjo app (all together, “Tanjo”).
By registering for an account or using Tanjo, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use Tanjo. Your continued use of Tanjo following notification of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
We may update this Privacy Policy at any time by providing notification to you, which may be by email, text, or other electronic communications. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner materially different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will provide notification to users.
Overview
We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected when you use Tanjo. Like a knowledgeable expert who gets to know you better over time, Tanjo provides increasingly accurate recommendations to you the more you answer questions and provide feedback about the recommendations you've already received. Here's a summary of how you can control that information:
You can control whether your Teach Tanjo About You answers are publicly visible in your account profile, using the 'Preferences' tab in your Tanjo account profile. External applications that you authorize may also give you options to share your answers with other users or to make changes to your Tanjo account preferences.
When you Like or Pass an item on Tanjo, that feedback may be publicly attributed to you. This is not something you can control, and is not an optional feature, as it is a key social feature of Tanjo.
Collection and Use of Your Personal Information
When you use Tanjo, our servers automatically record standard information that your smartphone or other communication device sends to establish and facilitate communications. These server logs may include information such as websites you visited, your Internet Protocol address, Tanjo cookie information, device type and operating system, language, and the date and time of your request. Tanjo uses this traffic data to help diagnose problems with its server, analyze trends and administer Tanjo.
Generally, Tanjo automatically collects usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of Tanjo uses and queries presented. This data is only used in the aggregate. This type of collective data enables us to determine how users interact with Tanjo, so we can identify areas for improvement.
Our primary purpose for collection of your personal information is to provide you access to Tanjo and to provide you with a secure, smooth, efficient and customized experience.
We ask for your email address and a password when you create your account in order to control access to it. Your username is used to identify you to other Tanjo users when you elect to share information or contribute reviews to Tanjo.
When you create a Tanjo account using an external application such as Facebook or Twitter, or when you connect your Tanjo account to external applications, Tanjomay access data from those applications. Examples would be things you like, your 'star' rating of Tanjo results, who you follow, or who your friends are on those applications. A data disclosure page will be shown in these cases and you can decide whether to proceed or not.
Mobile applications or 3rd-party applications may display your ratings including 'Like' or 'Pass', 'Favorite', or other future rating methods we might employ within mobile or 3rd-party applications.
While you are logged in we hope you'll provide written commentary and pros/cons about the recommendation outcomes on Tanjo. Your submissions will be publicly credited to your username, and they're subject to the Tanjo Terms of Service.
We also welcome your suggested contributions for topics, questions/answers and recommendation results. These contributions are also subject to the Tanjo Terms of Service and may be credited to your username.
Tanjomay make certain aggregated and anonymized data available to developers via an Application Programming Interface ("API"). Individual, public data (such as Likes or Passes) may also be made available through the Tanjo API. Data accessed from the API may be used in outside applications subject to the review and approval by Tanjo.
Tanjo may collect and display to you within Tanjo statistics about your usage of Tanjo (such as the number of topics you've tried or the number of contributions you've made) and associate this data with your username.
Disclosure of Personal Information
Any personal information that you voluntarily disclose on public areas of Tanjo (reviews, message boards, profile descriptions, support forums, blog feedback, etc.) becomes publicly available and could be collected and used by other people, including people who might use this information to harm you. We strongly discourage you from providing any sensitive or personally identifiable information (say, an email address or phone number) when submitting or contributing to such public content.
We may share with third parties certain pieces of aggregated, non-personal information such as the number of users who engaged in a particular topic, correlations between question answers and item preferences, and how many users choose to buy a recommended item. Such information does not identify you individually.
We may employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and sometimes need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you. Examples include analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, and providing customer service.
In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if Tanjo, or Tanjo, were acquired, customer information would be one of the assets that is transferred.
Additionally, we may disclose your personal information after notifying you and obtaining your consent.
We may also need to disclose personal information when required by law, if we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process, enforce or apply our Terms of Service and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Tanjo, our employees, our users, or others.
