Scope

Welcome to Team Dinner’s Privacy Statement. Your right to privacy and online security is important. This Privacy Statement describes Team Dinner's collection, protection, disclosure, and use of your information. This Privacy Statement applies to the Team Dinner website and mobile applications. It covers your personal information that is provided or collected through the use of our services and how we use that information in connection with our services.

By using Team Dinner, you agree to this Privacy Statement. If you do not agree with any term in this Privacy Statement, please do not use our services.

Here's a quick overview:

Team Dinner is an app designed for teammates and family members who travel for sporting events to plan and keep track of payments when a team dinner is organized. Payments recorded on Team Dinner are informal records and not legally binding contracts. We offer the Team Dinner service "as-is" without a warranty. Team Dinner is a work in progress, so some features of our app may not work exactly as planned. We may stop offering or restrict certain services or features at any time. Please be patient; we'll always do our best to support you.

To use Team Dinner, we ask that you create an account. When you sign up, we'll ask for some registration information such as name, team name, and email address. We need this information to create an account so that we can contact you about your account, so that your friends can find you, and so you can access your account from anywhere.

You have control over the type of information you provide and how we use it. We don’t share your registration or personal information for marketing purposes. We will never share your information with other parties for use other than what’s laid out in this policy without your consent. If you have any questions please contact us at teamdinner057@gmail.com.

You must be 13 years or older to use this service. If you are younger than 13, a family member must be registered on your behalf to handle any payment processing. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that their child has provided us with Personal Information without their consent, they should contact us at teamdinner057@gmail.com.

DATA WE COLLECT

When you use Team Dinner, we may collect the following information about you:

Information you provide to us:

  • Registration information: When you sign up for an account with Team Dinner, you will be asked for registration information, such as your name, email address, and password. We require you to provide an email address to use Team Dinner so that we can contact you about your account, and so that you can access your data from any device. Friends will be able to add you using your email address. We require you to provide a name for your account, this is the name your friends will see when adding expenses with you. Providing a team name gives your friends another way to find you and adds an extra layer of security to your account.
  • User-generated content: We also collect and store the information you provide to us when using our service to share expenses, and payments, and communicate with others. This data includes, for example, team names, expense amounts, payments and their confirmation numbers, messages, reminders, and notes, while using Team Dinner. You may share this information with contacts you specify in the course of using the Service. For example, if you add an expense with a group of teammates and family members, those teammates and family members will be able to see that bill, while users who are not participating in the team dinner will not.
  • User-generated invitations / Adding users to a team: Invitations to a specifically chosen teammate or family member to join Team Dinner can be sent at your request on your behalf. When you invite a teammate or contact to Team Dinner using these functions, Team Dinner will collect from you the contact information of the person(s) being invited by asking you to provide a name and email address. A few messages will be sent to these contacts through the chosen communication channel. Your name and the name of the team may also be incorporated in invitation messages sent by Team Dinner, as applicable.
  • Information Shared By Others: Other Team Dinner users may share information with you using your contact information (such as email), and that information will be stored in the course of using Team Dinner. For instance, if a teammate of yours shares an invoice with you or adds you to a team using your email address, Team Dinner may notify you and store that information under your account according to your preferences.
  • Payment information: Team Dinner may offer paid premium services (“Team Dinner Pro”) in some markets. If you choose to subscribe to this service, we will ask for additional information. This includes payment information, such as your credit or debit card number, other card information, and other account and authentication information, as well as billing, and contact details.
  • Information related to Third Party Integrations: Team Dinner may collect information about you from third parties to help improve our service or for security and support reasons. If you choose to use some of the optional integrations the third-party services that we offer we may collect information about you from those services. For example, if you choose to send payments to your friends using one of the payment services we integrate with we may collect information from that payment service (i.e. your username for that service, the status of that payment).
  • Contests and surveys: From time to time, you may be offered an opportunity to participate in a contest, survey, or other voluntary promotion. We may collect contact or marketing information in connection with one of these promotions. When we run a contest, sweepstakes, or game relating to our Sites, it will be accompanied by a set of rules. The rules for each contest, sweepstakes, or game will specify how the information gathered from you for entry will be used and disclosed if it is different than as described in this Privacy Policy. In conjunction with your entry in such contests or sweepstakes, your information will be collected if you voluntarily submit it.
  • Other information: We may request or receive other information such as feedback, questions, comments, suggestions, or ideas to provide you with other benefits and/or to improve upon our Service.

SECURITY

How we protect the information we collect

We take the security of your information seriously. We use technical and administrative security measures such as but not limited to encryption techniques and authentication procedures, among others, to maintain the security of your online session. Please understand, however, that while we try our best to safeguard your personal information once we receive it, no transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

You can help protect the privacy of your own information by using encryption and other techniques to prevent unauthorized interception of your personal information. You are responsible for the security of your information when using unencrypted, public or otherwise unsecured networks.

We will contact you regarding any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored personal information to you via email or conspicuous posting on our Site in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, insofar as consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.

Phishing:

Identity theft and the practice currently known as "phishing" are of great concern to Team Dinner®. Safeguarding information to help protect you from identity theft is a top priority. We do not and will not, at any time, request your credit card information, your account ID, login password, or national identification numbers in a non-secure or unsolicited e-mail. For more information about phishing, visit the Federal Trade Commission's website at http://www.ftc.gov.

Online Tracking and Interest-Based Advertising

You may opt out of tracking of analytics data by Google Analytics, one of our customer usage analytics providers, by clicking here.

Many of the third-party advertisers that place tracking tools on our Sites are members of programs that offer you additional choices regarding the collection and use of your information. You can learn more about the options available to limit these third parties’ collection and use of your information by visiting the websites for the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance, as well as the web pages for Facebook’s ad preferences tool and privacy policy.

Android: http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/

Please note that opting out of advertising network services does not mean that you will not receive advertising while using our Sites or on other websites, nor will it prevent the receipt of interest-based advertising from third parties that do not participate in these programs. It will, however, exclude you from interest-based advertising conducted through participating networks, as provided by their policies and choice mechanisms.
