Welcome to Propono! This Privacy Policy describes how Propono LLC ("Propono", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our mobile applications, website, and other services (collectively, the "Services").
By using the Services, you agree to the collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our Services.
We collect and use various types of information to operate, improve, and personalize the Services. Here's what we collect and how we use it:
When you create a Propono account, we collect:
We may publicly display your first and last name, as well as any photo or other content you submit, as part of your account profile. We use this information to create and manage your account, personalize your experience, and communicate with you about the Services.
Your contributions to the Services are intended for public consumption. This includes:
Your account profile (including your name, city, join date, and profile photo) is also publicly visible. We use this information to provide and improve the Services, including helping other users discover new places and experiences.
We collect information about how you use the Services, including:
We use this information to improve the Services, personalize your experience, and develop new features.
When you access the Services, we automatically collect information about your device, including:
We use this information to ensure the Services function properly on your device, to analyze usage patterns, and to improve the Services.
With your permission, we may collect precise location information from your device. You can control this through your device settings. We use this information to provide location-based services, such as showing you nearby restaurants and personalizing your experience.
When you communicate with us or other users through the Services, we may collect and store those communications. This helps us provide customer support, improve our services, and maintain the safety and security of our platform.
We use the information we collect for various purposes, including:
We use the collected information solely within our app to provide, maintain, and improve our Services, ensure proper functionality on your device, analyze in-app usage patterns, and personalize your in-app experience. We do not use this information to track your activity across other apps or websites owned by other companies, nor do we share your personal information with third parties for advertising purposes or cross-app/website tracking.
By using Propono, you agree to our collection and use of information as described in this Privacy Policy. In the next sections, we'll cover how we use cookies and how you can control your personal data.
Propono uses cookies and similar technologies in our mobile applications and future web services to enhance your experience, analyze usage patterns, and provide personalized content. Here's what you need to know:
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device. In mobile apps, we use similar technologies such as device identifiers, pixel tags, and local storage. These technologies allow us to remember your preferences, understand how you use our Services, and improve your experience.
We use cookies and similar technologies for various purposes, including:
For mobile devices, you can manage how your device shares certain data by adjusting the privacy and security settings on your mobile device. This may include options to reset your device's advertising identifier or opt-out of personalized ads.
When we launch our web application, you'll be able to manage cookies through your browser settings. You can typically delete existing cookies, block certain types of cookies, or set your browser to notify you when cookies are being set.
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you don't want to have your online activities tracked. Given the lack of a common standard for interpreting these signals, our Services do not currently respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals.
By continuing to use our Services, you consent to our use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this policy. If you have any questions about our use of these technologies, please contact us at [email protected].
Propono is committed to protecting your privacy. We share your information only in limited circumstances and for specific purposes. Here's how and why we might share your information:
When you create public content on Propono (such as reviews, photos, public albums, or compare sets), that information is visible to other users and the general public. Your public profile information, including your name, city, and any content you choose to make public, is also visible to others.
We may share your information when you give us explicit consent to do so. For example, if you choose to share your Propono content on other social media platforms.
We work with third-party service providers who perform essential functions for us. These may include cloud storage providers, analytics services, and customer support tools. These service providers only access the information necessary to perform their functions and are contractually obligated to protect your information.
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency). We may also share information if we believe it's necessary to:
If Propono is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our Services of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.
We may share aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you with third parties for various purposes, including to improve our Services and for business or marketing purposes.
When you use certain features of our Services, such as creating a compare set or tagging another user in a check-in, the information you share may be visible to other specified users or the public, depending on your settings and the nature of the feature.
At Propono, we believe in giving you control over your personal information. Here are the choices available to you and the rights you can exercise:
You can review, update, or modify your account information at any time by logging into your Propono account settings. This includes changing your name, email address, password, and other profile information.
You can opt out of receiving promotional emails from Propono by following the instructions in those emails or by adjusting your email preferences in your account settings. Even if you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional communications, such as those about your account, service updates, or our ongoing business relations.
You can choose whether or not to allow the Propono app to collect and use real-time information about your device's location through your device's settings. If you block the use of location information, some parts of the Propono app may become inaccessible or not function properly.
You can control the use of certain cookies and similar technologies through your device settings. Please refer to the "Cookies and Similar Technologies" section of this policy for more information.
Currently, our systems do not recognize browser "Do Not Track" requests. You can, however, disable certain tracking as discussed in the "Cookies and Similar Technologies" section.
You can request a copy of your personal information that we hold. We will provide this information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
If you believe that any information we hold about you is inaccurate, you can request that we correct or update this information.
You can request that we delete your personal information. Note that we may need to retain certain information for recordkeeping purposes, to complete transactions, or to comply with our legal obligations.
In certain circumstances, you can request that we restrict the processing of your personal information.
You have the right to object to our processing of your personal information in certain circumstances.
Where we rely on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Please see the "Additional Information for California Residents" section for more details.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.
Please note that some of these rights may be limited where we have compelling legitimate grounds or legal obligations to continue to process your personal information.
This section outlines our policies on data retention, what happens when you terminate your account, and how we handle user-generated content after account termination.
Propono retains your personal information for as long as necessary to provide you with our Services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. The length of time we keep your information depends on the type of data and the purpose for which we process it.
You can choose to terminate your Propono account at any time. Here's what happens when you do:
Even after you terminate your account, we may retain certain information:
If you wish to delete specific content you've posted (like a review or photo) without terminating your entire account, you can usually do this through the Propono app. For content you can't delete yourself, or if you need assistance, please contact us at [email protected].
We strive to delete your information as quickly as possible upon request. However, please note that deleted information may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time but will not be generally available to other users of the Services.
Propono takes the privacy of children seriously. Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Here's our approach to protecting children's privacy:
If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under the age of 13 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information as quickly as possible.
If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child under the age of 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will take steps to remove that information from our servers.
We have implemented measures designed to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure of personal information collected from children. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update our Children's Privacy section from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by posting the new Children's Privacy section on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.
Our practices regarding children's privacy are designed to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If you have any questions about our Children's Privacy practices, please contact us at [email protected].
By using Propono, you represent that you are at least 13 years old. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take necessary action.
At Propono, we take the security of your personal information seriously. We employ a variety of technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Our security measures include:
If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of your account has been compromised), please contact us immediately at [email protected].
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.
For material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by email or through a notice on our mobile application before the changes take effect. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about our information practices and your privacy rights.
Your continued use of Propono after we post any modifications to the Privacy Policy will constitute your acknowledgment of the modifications and your consent to abide and be bound by the modified Privacy Policy.
