European Union Users
Data protection law in Europe requires a “lawful basis” for collecting and retaining personal information from citizens or residents of the European Economic Area. Our lawful bases include:
Performing the contract we have with you: In certain circumstances, we need your personal data to comply with our
contractual obligation to deliver the Services, enable organizations to establish and display their missions, and enable
donors to find and make pledges to them.
Legal compliance: Sometimes the law says we need to collect and use your data. For example, tax laws require us to
retain records of pledges and payments made through our Services.
Legitimate interests: This is a technical term in data protection law which essentially means we have a good and fair
reason to use your data and we do so in ways that do not hurt your interests and rights. We sometimes require your
data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way that might reasonably be expected as part of running our business
and that does not materially impact your rights, freedom, or interests. For example, we use identity, device, and
location information to prevent fraud and abuse and to keep the Services secure. We may also send you promotional
communications about our Services, subject to your right to control whether we do so.
We analyze how users interact with our app so we can understand better what elements of the design are working
well and which are not working so well. This allows us to improve and develop the quality of the online experience we
offer all our users.
How This Information Is Shared
Information that’s shared publicly
When you create an account, we create a basic profile page for you on ajolla, containing your username, the date the
account was created, and a list of campaigns you have backed or launched. By default, your profile is private and you can
choose to make it public in your account settings. Your username appears with the comments you post and messages you
send on ajolla and, if your profile is set to public, people can click your username to view it. If you make your profile public,
others will be able to see the following things:
The account username you select, and the date the account was created;
Any information you choose to add to your profile (like a picture, bio, or your location);
Campaigns you’ve supported (but not given amounts or rewards chosen);
Campaigns you’ve created;Comments you’ve posted on ajolla; and
If you have “Liked” a campaign update.
If you would like to have a public profile, but don’t want others to see your name or profile image on a campaign’s
Community tab, you may choose an account image or name that is not identifiable (e.g., CatLuvr88). You can modify or
delete certain information associated with your account (such as your username, profile image, biography, and location)
from your account settings and you can change your privacy settings if you want to make your profile private or adjust the
default settings.
Campaign creators are also asked to verify their identities before launching a campaign. Once this has been done, the
campaign creator’s Verified Name will be publicly displayed on their account profile and on any campaigns they launch.
