1. Overview

The kind of data we collect about you can be different based on how you use the Whoz website or mobile applications. If you only use our Services to RSVP to a contacts activity invite, we'll have less information about you than if you have an account to create and host an event, create a profile, join groups and communities and become a registered user to unlock more features within the Services. Even if you haven't registered for a Whoz account, we may still collect some data about you, like your IP address and other device information when you browse our website or mobile application, or your email address and phone number if provided to us by another user hosting an event.

The Services are, in some form, available to both registered and unregistered users. However, certain features and functionality, like creating an activity and sending invitations (for ease of reference, we will call these "Host(s)"), are only available to registered users. Individuals invited to an event by a Host, "Guests", can be registered users or unregistered users, but the Services may be limited for unregistered Guests.

Ultimately, the information we collect and process from you and about you is used in various ways to operate our Services. From adding your contacts, sending invitations to your Guests, collecting profile information to share with your contacts as you specify, each use serves a different and important purpose allowing us to operate the Services and our business.

2. Information we receive about you

In General.We collect several different types of information from you when you use our Services or about you via someone else using our Services (like when a friend adds your email to an event). The information received through our Services may be sent to servers located in the United States and other countries around the world. You are not required to provide us with any information, but if you do not provide us with certain information, you may be unable to access parts of the Services – for example, if you do not provide your email address, you cannot create an account.

a. Information you provide.

We collect and store the information you enter on our Services or that is provided to us in some other manner. This includes identification information, such as your full name, address (e.g., your event location), email address, images, telephone number, and, if you transact business with us, financial information such as your payment method (credit card number, type, expiration date or other financial information, which is collected and stored by a third-party payment processor and not by us). During and after the registration process, we may also request information about your interests and activities, your gender, your age, your location (such as ZIP code and/or country), other demographic or profile information, or we may ask you to complete a survey or send us a review. Additionally, we may collect and store any information you provide while using any comment or chat features.
