This Privacy Notice explains how your personal information is collected, used and disclosed by Talesconnect when you visit or use our website, Talesconnect (our "Website"), and our related software and online or mobile services provided on or in connection with our Website (collectively, our "Service").

Personal Information We Collect and How We Use It

We collect personal information in connection with your visits to and use of the Service. This collection includes information that you provide in connection with the Service, information from third parties, and information that is collected automatically such as through the use of cookies and other technologies.

Information that You Provide

We collect personal information from you. The categories of information we collect can include:

Account and profile information: We collect personal information when you create a registered user account, sign up for our mailing list, purchase or register a product, or otherwise communicate with us. The personal information we collect during account registration may depend on your account type but could include name, phone number, date of birth, email address, mailing address and other contact information. We also collect additional information if you provide it in your profile, which could include the name of your college or university (name, city, state), graduation year, photo, and social media handle(s). If a user enrolls for the Service using a Student Account, we may request additional pieces of personal information to verify your eligibility for the Service, such as by verifying your enrollment status in a college or university.
Communications and payment: We collect personal information when you sign up for our mailing list or otherwise communicate with us, including by contacting us in person (for example, at conferences, workshops, seminars and other events), via telephone, facsimile or email. We also collect payment information if you make a purchase or sign up for a subscription. Please note that we use third party payment processors to process payments made to us. As such, we do not retain any personally identifiable financial information such as credit card numbers. Rather, all such information is provided directly by you to our third-party processor. The payment processor's use of your personal information is governed by their privacy notice.
Data collected through the use of the Service: We collect User Content (as defined in our Terms of Service) as part of the provision of the Service.

Information from Third Party Sources

We may receive personal information about you from third parties and combine that with the information we collect through the Service. For example, we receive information about your activities on third party websites you access through the Service. We may also receive information from any third-party services that you link to the Service. For example, if you link your Talesconnect account to your account on a social network such as Discord or Slack, these services will authenticate your identity and may provide some of your personal information to us. We may also receive personal information from website and service operators, payment processors, marketing partners, and shipping providers. The data we receive is dependent on that third party's policies and your privacy settings on that third-party service. We will store your authentication token and any personal information the service provides to us in order to provide you with the Service.
