combining such information.

10. Sharing of
Information
Socialkik only shares personal information with other
companies or individuals outside of Socialkik in the following limited
circumstances:
a. We have your consent. We
require opt-in consent for the sharing of any sensitive personal
information.
b. We provide such
information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies or other trusted
businesses or persons for the purpose of processing personal information on our
behalf. We require that these parties agree to process such information based on
our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and any other
appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
c. We have a good faith belief that access, use,
preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to (a)
satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable
governmental request, (b) enforce applicable Terms of Service, including
investigation of potential violations thereof, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise
address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) protect against imminent
harm to the rights, property or safety of Socialkik, its users or the public as
required or permitted by law.
If Socialkik becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of its assets, we will provide notice before personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy. Please contact us for any additional questions about the management or use of personal data.
11. Security
We take
appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or
unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include
internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and
security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against
unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data. We restrict access
to personal information to Socialkik employees, contractors and agents who need
to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services.
These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to
discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet
these obligations.
12. Integrity
Socialkik
processes personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected
and in accordance with this Privacy Policy or any applicable service-specific
privacy notice. We review our data collection, storage and processing practices
to ensure that we only collect, store and process the personal information
needed to provide or improve our services. We take reasonable steps to ensure
that the personal information we process is accurate, complete, and current, but
we depend on our users to update or correct their personal information whenever
necessary.
13. Information
Updating
When you use Socialkik services, we make good faith
efforts to provide you with access to your personal information and either to
correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if
it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business
purposes. We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information
requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests,
and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or
systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of
others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning
information residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise
required. In any case where we provide information access and correction, we
perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a
disproportionate effort. Some of our services have different procedures to
access, correct or delete users’ personal information.
14. Enforcement
Socialkik
regularly reviews its compliance with this Privacy Policy. Please feel free to
direct any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy or Socialkik’s
treatment of personal information by contacting us through this
website. When we receive formal written complaints at this address, it is
Socialkik’s policy to contact the complaining user regarding his or her
concerns. We will cooperate with the appropriate regulatory authorities,
including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding
the transfer of personal data that cannot be resolved between Socialkik and an
individual.
