Thanks for using Connect!

Our mission is to inspire everyone to do what they love. Based on information from you and third parties, we show you personalized content that we believe may interest you. We use this information solely on the relevant legal grounds.

We wrote this Policy to help you understand what information we collect, how we use it and what options you have for using this information. Since we are an Internet company, some of the concepts below are a bit technically complex, but we tried to interpret them as simply and clearly as possible. We welcome your questions and comments regarding this Policy.

We collect information in various ways

1. When you submit it to us or give your consent to receive it

By registering on the Connect website or using it, you voluntarily provide certain information, including your name and surname, email address, phone number, country, photos, comments, login, password that you specify during registration and any other information sent to us. You can also share your exact location using photos. We will continue to use your IP address to approximate your location, even if you decide not to share the exact location. You will also have the opportunity to share other information about yourself, such as gender, age, and preferred language.
The Organization allows You to create an account and log in to use the Service through the following Third-party Social Media Services:
Google
Facebook
If You decide to register through or otherwise grant Us access to a Third-Party Social Media Service, We may collect Personal data that is already associated with Your Third-Party Social Media Service's account, such as Your name, Your email address, Your activities or Your contact list associated with that account.
You may also have the option of sharing additional information with the Organization through Your Third-Party Social Media Service's account. If You choose to provide such information and Personal Data, during registration or otherwise, You are giving the Organization permission to use, share, and store it in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.

2. We also get technical information when you use Connect

When you go to a website, use a mobile application or other Internet service, certain information about your online activities is automatically created and recorded. The same thing happens when you use Connect. Here are some of the types of information we collect:

Log data. When you use Connect, our servers record information (“log data”), including information that your browser or mobile application sends automatically. The log data includes your IP address (used to approximate your location), search queries, browser type and settings, the date and time of your request, how you use Connect, cookie data and device information. Here you can find out more about the log data we collect.

Cookie data. We also use cookies (small text files sent by your computer each time you visit our website that are unique to your Connect account or browser) or similar technologies for collecting log data. When using cookies or other similar technologies, we implement session cookies (which remain until the browser closes) or persistent cookies (which remain until you or your browser or you delete them). For example, we use cookies to preserve language or other settings, so you do not need to set them every time you visit Connect. Some of the cookies we use are associated with your Connect account (including information about you, such as your email address), while others are not. For more information about how we use cookies, see our Cookie Policy.

Device info. In addition to the log data, we collect information about the device from which you log in to Connect, including the type of device, operating system, settings, unique device identifiers and failure data that help us understand the cause of the failure.

Data on visits and conclusions. When you interact with Connect, we use the information about your actions along with the information that you provided when you first registered to draw conclusions about you and your preferences.
