Using Basecards

Basecards is a platform that helps creators connect with their audience. “Basecards,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Basecards and the services we offer through our website. This Privacy Policy is part of our Terms and Conditions and explains how we collect, use, and share your information.

• Full name
• Email address
• Phone number
• Username
• Password
• Country and state/province of residence

Information We Collect

Basecards automatically collects certain information when you interact with the platform, even if you don’t have an account. For instance, when you visit basecards.com, view content, or interact with an email from Basecards, we may gather information such as:

• Your IP address
• Your approximate location (derived from your IP address)
• Your browser and device type
• Your operating system

Additionally, when you send or receive messages or post comments on Basecards, we collect the content of those messages and comments, along with related activity details like timestamps and information about who has viewed them.

Information Collected by Third Parties

Third parties may use cookies on our website. A cookie is a small text file stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website.

Basecards may incorporate social media features and tools. These features might collect information like your IP address and details about the page you’re visiting, and they may set or read cookies on your device. These social media features are either hosted by a third party or directly on Basecards.

For more information on the technologies used by these third parties, the information they collect, and how that data is used, please review their respective privacy policies.

How We Use Your Information

Depending on the context, we may use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Enabling you to sign in to your Basecards account.
• Allowing you to add Basecards and engage with their content.
• Sending you messages and notifications, such as emails, push notifications, and SMS/MMS, based on your notification preferences.
• Providing information about Basecards, its features, and your interactions on the platform.
• Offering customer support and responding to your inquiries.
• Promoting your Basecards profile and content for better visibility.
• Marketing Basecards services to you or similar audiences, including through personalized ads, as per your marketing preferences.
• Understanding and analyzing how you use the platform.
• Conducting research and development to enhance Basecards and its features.
• Preventing fraud, abuse, and illegal activities on Basecards, using both automated systems and manual review.

Information Shared with Basecard Owners

When you engage with a Basecard, you agree to share certain personal data with its owner. This information may include:

• Your full name.
• Your username.
• Your email address.
• Your avatar image.
• Details about your activity on the platform.

Basecard owners may invite you to participate in surveys. If you choose to participate, your responses, which may include personal data, will be shared with the relevant owner.

Information Shared with Other Users

When you engage with a Basecard, you become part of that Basecard’s community. This community includes the owner and other people who support or engage with the Basecard. By joining a community, you agree to share certain personal data with other members of the community, which may include:

• Your full name.
• Your username.
• Your email address.
• Your avatar image.
• Details about your activity on the platform.

When you interact within a community — by leaving comments on posts or participating in events — these actions are visible to the relevant sections of the community. New members who join later may also see the full history of interactions.

If the visibility of a post or event changes, the visibility of related interactions may also change. For example, if a post is later made accessible to a larger part of the community, the associated interactions may also become visible to that broader audience.

Information Shared with Third Parties

At Basecards, we never sell your information to third parties. Beyond what is shared with creators or within communities, we only share your data with third parties in the following situations:

Service Providers: We work with companies that provide essential services to Basecards, such as cloud hosting, content distribution, security, email and document management, internal communication, and analytics. Your personal data may be shared with these service providers, but only under strict confidentiality agreements and security measures. These third parties are only allowed to use your personal data on behalf of Basecards and according to our instructions. They may use non-personal data for their own purposes.

Legal Process and Law Enforcement: We may disclose information to protect the security and integrity of Basecards, as well as to safeguard the rights, property, and safety of our users, employees, or others. If we believe that sharing your data is necessary to comply with legal requirements, such as subpoenas or warrants, we will do so. When legally permitted, we will try to notify you (usually via email) before sharing your data in response to a government or law enforcement request.

Business Transfers: If Basecards undergoes a sale, merger, bankruptcy, or reorganization, your data may be transferred as part of that process. In such cases, the terms of this Privacy Policy will continue to apply to any data transferred to a new entity.

Third-Party Services: If you connect your Basecards account to other websites, apps, or services, you may be asked to allow those services to access information from your Basecards account or to perform actions on your behalf. Basecards will only share the information or permissions you authorize.

Control over Your Data

At Basecards, we empower you to manage your personal data in the following ways:

• Access the personal data that Basecards has collected about you.
• Correct or update any personal data that you believe is inaccurate.
• Restrict or object to the processing of your personal data.
• Delete your personal data.
• Transfer your personal data.

You can manage your data on Basecards through these options:

• Access, review, and update your data by logging in to your account and navigating to your settings.
• Access, transfer, or delete your data by submitting a request at [email protected].

If you’re unable to log in or reset your password to access your account for a privacy request, you can reach out to us at [email protected]. Please note, to prevent unauthorized access, we reserve the right to deny account access or recovery requests at our discretion.

Most users have password-protected accounts on Basecards. If you submit a request to exercise your privacy rights, we may ask you to verify your request by logging into your account or verifying your identity in another way. If we cannot adequately verify your identity, we reserve the right to deny the request to protect your personal data from unauthorized access.

Your browser might send a “Do Not Track” signal to websites you visit. Since there is no industry-standard interpretation of these signals, Basecards does not monitor or respond to them.

Complaints

We take your privacy concerns seriously and are dedicated to resolving any issues that may arise regarding the collection or use of your data. If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, we encourage you to contact us at [email protected].

Data Retention Period

Basecards stores your personal data for as long as it is necessary to provide our services or until you request its deletion. In some cases, we may need to retain certain information even after you delete your account to comply with legal obligations.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make a significant change, we will notify you before the changes take effect. By continuing to use Basecards after any changes, you agree to the updated policy.
