Additionally, you will find resources at the end of this document that help you understand how Opinionation works.
    1. Your privacy is very important to us. We designed our site to make important disclosures about how you can use Opinionation to share with others and how we collect and can use your content and information. We encourage you to read the Data Use Policy, and to use it to help you make informed decisions.
    2. Sharing your Content and Information You own all of the content and information you post on Opinionation, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings. In addition:
      1. For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, such as photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Opinionation (IP Licence). This IP Licence ends when you delete your IP content or your account, unless you’re content has been shared with others and they have not deleted it.

(To learn more about Platform, including how you can control what information other people may share with applications, read our Data Use Policy.)

Data Use Policy 

Information we receive and how we use it

Information we receive about you

We receive a number of different types of information about you, including:

  • Your information

Your information is the information that’s required when you sign up for the site, as well as the information you choose to share.

  • Registration information

When you sign up for Opinionation, you are required to provide information such as your name, email address, gender and electoral preference. In some cases, you may be able to register using other information, from future system developments to the website.

  • Information you choose to share

Your information also includes the information you choose to share on Opinionation, such as when you create a petition, upload images relating to a petition, or comment on a friend’s petition.  It also includes the information you choose to share when you communicate with us, such as when you contact us using an email address, or when you take an action, such as when you add a friend, Agree or Disagree on comments made to a petition, recommend a petition to a friend, add a Page or discuss another website within a petition.

Your name, profile pictures, cover photos, gender, networks, username and User ID are treated just like information you choose to make public.
Information others share about you

We receive information about you from your friends and others, such as when they upload documents to your petitions, post a photo on your petition, suggest a relative link to your petition, or add you to a petition group.

When people use Opinionation, they may store and share information about you and others that they have, such as when they upload and manage their invites and contacts.

Other information we receive about you

We also receive other types of information about you:

  • We receive data about you whenever you use or are running Opinionation, such as when you look at another person’s petitions, send or receive a message, search for a friend or a Petition, click on, view or otherwise interact with things, use an Opinionation mobile app, or make donations to Opinionation.
  • When you post things like photos or links to conversations on Opinionation, we may receive additional related data (or metadata), such as the time, date, and place you took the photo or set up the link.
  • We receive data from or about the computer, mobile phone, or other devices you use to install Opinionation apps or to access Opinionation, including when multiple users log in from the same device. This may include network and communication information, such as your IP address or mobile phone number, and other information about things like your internet service, operating system, location, the type (including identifiers) of the device or browser you use, or the pages you visit. For example, we may get your GPS or other location information so we can tell you if any of your friends are nearby, or we could request device information to improve how our apps work on your device.
  • We receive data whenever you visit an application or website that uses the Opinionation platform or visit a site with an Opinionation feature, sometimes through the use of cookies. This may include the date and time you visit the site; the web address, or URL, you’re on; technical information about the IP address, browser and the operating system you use; and, if you are logged in to Opinionation, your User ID.
  • Sometimes we get data from our affiliates or our advertising partners, customers and other third parties that help us (or them) deliver ads, understand online activity, and generally make Opinionation better. For example, an advertiser may tell us information about you (like how you responded to an ad on Opinionation or on another site) in order to measure the effectiveness of – and improve the quality of – ads.

As described in ” How we use the information we receive ” we also put together data from the information we already have about you, your friends, and others, so we can offer and suggest a variety of services and features. For example, we may make friend suggestions or suggest stories for your petition Feed. We may put together your current city with GPS and other location information we have about you to, for example, tell you and your friends about petitions or events nearby, or offer deals to you in which you might be interested. We may also put together data about you to serve you ads or other content that might be more relevant to you.

When we get your GPS location, we put it together with other location information we have about you (like your current city). But we only keep it until it is no longer useful to provide you services, like keeping your last GPS coordinates to send you relevant notifications.

We only provide data to our advertising partners or customers after we have removed your name and any other personally identifying information from it, or have combined it with other people’s data in a way that it no longer personally identifies you.

Public information

When we use the phrase “public information” (which we sometimes refer to as “Everyone information”), we mean the information you choose to make public, as well as information that is always publicly available.

Information you choose to make public

Choosing to make your information public is exactly what it sounds like: anyone, including people off Opinionation, will be able to see it.

Choosing to make your information public also means that this information:

  • can be associated with you (i.e., your name, profile pictures, petition feed, User ID, username, etc.) even off Opinionation;
  • can show up when someone does a search on Opinionation or on a public search engine;
  • will be accessible to the Opinionation integrated applications, and websites you and your friends use; and
  • will be accessible to anyone who uses our APIs such as our site graphics and stats

Sometimes you will not be able to select an audience when you post something (like when you write on a petition wall or comment on a news article that uses our comments plugin). This is because some types of stories are always public stories. As a general rule, you should assume that if you do not have the option to share, the information will be publicly available.

When others share information about you, they can also choose to make it public.

Information that is always publicly available

The types of information listed below are always publicly available, and they are treated just like information you decided to make public:

  • Name:

This helps your friends and family find you. If you are uncomfortable sharing your real name, you can always delete your user account.

  • Profile Pictures:

These help your friends and family recognize you. If you are uncomfortable making any of these photos public, you can always delete them. Unless you delete them, when you add a new profile picture, the previous photo will remain public in your profile picture album.

  • Networks:

This helps you see who you will be sharing information with before you choose “Friends and Groups” as a custom audience. If you are uncomfortable making your group public, you can leave the Group.

  • Gender:

This allows us to refer to you properly.

  • Username and User ID:

These allow you to give out a custom link to your petition feed or to a specific topic page, receive messages in your user account page, and help make the Opinionation Platform possible.

Usernames and User IDs anonymity

Usernames and User IDs are the same thing – a way to identify you on Opinionation. A User ID is a string of numbers and a username generally is some variation of your name. With your username, you get a custom link (an Opinionation URL, such as www.opinionation.buzz/username) to your petition feed that you can give out to people or post on external websites.

If someone has your Username or User ID, they can use it to access information about you through the Opinionation.buzz website. For example, if someone has your Username, they can type Opinionation.buzz/Username into their browser and see your public information as well as anything else you’ve let them see. Similarly, someone with your Username or User ID can access information about you through our APIs, such as our site graphics and stats. Specifically, they can access your public information, along with your age range, language and country.

How we use the information we receive

We use the information we receive about you in connection with the services and features we provide to you and other users like your friends, our partners, the advertisers that purchase ads on the site, and the developers that build applications, and websites you use. For example, in addition to helping people see and find things that you do and share, we may use the information we receive about you:

  • as part of our efforts to keep Opinionation products, services and integrations safe and secure;
  • to protect Opinionation or others’ rights or property;
  • to provide you with location features and services, like telling you and your friends when something is going on nearby;
  • to measure or understand the effectiveness of ads you and others see, including to deliver relevant ads to you;
  • to make suggestions to you and other users on Opinionation, such as: suggesting that your friends suggests that another user adds you as a friend because the user like a petition you started, or suggesting that your friend linked you to a petition you would be interested in;
  • for internal operations, including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research and service improvement.

Granting us permission to use your information not only allows us to provide Opinionation as it exists today, but it also allows us to provide you with innovative features and services we develop in the future that use the information we receive about you in new ways.

While you are allowing us to use the information we receive about you, you always own all of your information. Your trust is important to us, which is why we don’t share information we receive about you with others unless we have:

  • received your permission;
  • given you notice, such as by telling you about it in this policy; or
  • removed your name and any other personally identifying information from it.

Of course, for information others share about you, they control how it is shared.

We store data for as long as it is necessary to provide products and services to you and others, including those described above. Typically, information associated with your account will be kept until your account is deleted. For certain categories of data, we may also tell you about specific data retention practices.

We may enable access to public information that has been shared through our services.

We may allow service providers to access information so they can help us provide services.

We are able to suggest that your friend link you in a petition topic by scanning and comparing your friend’s petition similarities to information we’ve put together from your profile petitions and the other petitions in which you’ve been associated with. If this feature is enabled for you, you can control whether we suggest that another user links you in a petition conversation using the “Link and Recommend” settings.

Deleting and deactivating your account

If you want to stop using your account, you can either deactivate or delete it.

Deactivate

Deactivating your account puts your account on hold. Other users will no longer see your petition feed, but we do not delete any of your information. Deactivating an account is the same as you telling us not to delete any information because you might want to reactivate your account at some point in the future. You can deactivate your account on your ‘Account’ page

Your friends will still see you listed in their list of friends while your account is deactivated.

Deletion

When you delete your account, it is permanently deleted from Opinionation. It typically takes about one month to delete an account, but some information may remain in backup copies and logs for up to 90 days. You should only delete your account if you are sure you never want to reactivate it. You can delete your account by sending a deletion request to admin@opinionation.co.uk

Certain information is needed to provide you with services, so we only delete this information after we have confirmed we have delete your account. Some of the things you do on Opinionation aren’t stored in your account, like commenting to a group or sending someone an invitation message (where your friend may still have a message you sent, even after you delete your account). That information remains after you delete your account.

Municipal Standards 

Keeping you Safe

We remove content, disable accounts and work with law enforcement when we believe that there is a genuine risk of physical harm or direct threats to public safety. To learn more about how Opinionation handles abusive content, send a request to support@opinionation.co.uk

Respectful behaviour

People use Opinionation to share their experiences and to raise awareness about issues that are important to them. This means that you may encounter opinions that are different from yours, which we believe can lead to important conversations about difficult topics. To help balance the needs, safety and interests of a diverse community, however, we may remove certain kinds of sensitive content or limit the audience that sees it. Learn more about how we do that by contacting support@opinionation.co.uk.

Keeping your information secure

We work hard to help keep your account secure and protect your personal information. By joining Opinionation, you agree to use your authentic name and identity. You may not publish the personal information of others without their consent. Learn more about how we work to keep your information safe by contacting support@opinionation.co.uk.

Your intellectual property

Opinionation is a place for you to share the things that are important to you. You own all of the content and information you post on Opinionation, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings. However, before sharing content on Opinionation, please make sure that you have the right to do so. We ask that you respect copyrights, trademarks and other legal rights. Learn more about intellectual property rights by contacting support@opinionation.co.uk

Reporting abuse

Our global community is growing every day, and we strive to welcome people to an environment that is free from abusive content. To do this, we rely on people like you. If you see something on Opinionation that you believe violates our terms, please report it to us by contacting support@opinionation.co.uk. We have dedicated teams working to review things you report to help make sure Opinionation remains safe.

Governments also sometimes ask us to remove content that violates local laws but does not violate our Municipal Standards. If after careful legal review we find that the content is illegal under local law, then we may make it unavailable only in the relevant region.

Please bear the following in mind: 

  • We may take action whenever something violates the Municipal Standards outlined here.
  • We may ask Page owners to associate their name and Opinionation Profile with a Page that contains cruel and insensitive content, even if that content does not violate our policies.
  • Reporting something doesn’t guarantee that it will be removed because it may not violate our policies.
  • Our content reviewers will look to you for information about why a post may violate our policies. If you report content, please tell us why the content should be removed (e.g. is it nudity or hate speech?) so that we can send it to the right person for review.
  • Our review decisions may occasionally change after receiving additional context about specific posts or after seeing new, violating content appearing on a Page or Opinionation Profile.
  • The number of reports does not impact whether something will be removed. We never remove content simply because it has been reported a number of times.
  • The consequences for violating our Municipal Standards vary depending on the severity of the violation and the person’s history on Opinionation. For instance, we may warn someone for a first violation, but if we continue to see further violations we may restrict a person’s ability to post on Opinionation or ban the person from Opinionation

12. General Terms

  A. Waiver and Sever ability

The failure of Opinionation to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. In the event that any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

  B. Controlling Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the United Kingdom without regard to or application of its conflict of law provisions or your state or country of residence.

  C. Entire Agreement

These Terms, including the Opinionation Contract Terms for the Opinionation Services, and our Contact Terms are the entire and exclusive agreement between Opinionation and you regarding the Services (excluding any services for which you have a separate agreement with Opinionation that is explicitly in addition or in place of these Terms), and these Terms supersede and replace any prior agreements between Opinionation and you regarding the Services. Other than members of the group of companies of which Opinionation is the parent, no other person or company will be third party beneficiaries to the Terms.
We may revise these Terms from time to time; the most current version will always be available on the Opinionation website. If the revision, in our sole discretion, is material we will notify you via an Opinionation update or e-mail to the email associated with your account. By continuing to access or use the Services after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms. If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact us through the site Administration email serviceable button.
