Information We Collect and Sources

We collect certain information about you to provide you with the Service or the support you request. The type of information we collect can vary depending on how you access and use our Service. Additionally, you can choose to voluntarily provide information to us. Below we have described the types of information we collect and from where we collect it.

Information you Provide to Use the Service

Account information. We collect the information you provide when you sign up for a SuperBetter account, log in to your account, communicate with us, upload content, or otherwise use the Service. We request an email address and date of birth when you choose to sign up for the Service so we can provide the Services to you and allow us to comply with applicable regulations. For example, the date of birth is used to determine whether you are under the age of 13 so that we can facilitate the required approval to create an account in compliance with COPPA regulations.

Transactional information. Users who engage in financial transactions with SuperBetter, for example to purchase a subscription, are asked to provide additional information in order to complete the transaction, such as a credit card number, billing address and full name. Visitors can always refrain from supplying certain information, but it may prevent them from engaging in certain SuperBetter services which require that information.

Information You Provide to Enhance Your Experience

You can choose to provide us with additional information in order to obtain a better user experience when using the Service. This additional information will be processed with your consent and/or to provide you with services you request. This information may include survey responses, participation in contests, promotions or other marketing efforts, suggestions for improvements, referrals, or any other actions on the Service.

Information We Get Automatically When You Use the Service

We automatically collect information about you and how you use the Service. This information includes:

Device information: Like most website operators, SuperBetter collects information about how users visit our site and the devices they use. We collect device-specific information (such as your hardware model, operating system version, device identifiers like IDFA and UDID, and mobile network information). SuperBetter may associate your device identifiers or other device information with your SuperBetter Account to help us provide consistent services across your devices.

Geolocation information: We may use your IP address to generate a general approximation of where you are located in order to provide you with an improved experience. We do not request access to or collect location sensor information, such as GPS or Bluetooth beacons, from your mobile device while downloading or using our mobile apps or services.

Information We Collect From Other Sources

Information we collect about you from third parties includes:

Google, Apple and Facebook Login: You have the option to log in to our Service using sign-in services such as Google Login, Apple Login and Facebook Connect. These services authenticate your identity and provide you the option to share certain personal information with us, such as your name, date of birth, and email address, to facilitate the creation of your account.

Other users: SuperBetter may receive information about you from other users. For example, a host may add your email address to their account in order to invite you to join a Squad Challenge.

Other partners and companies: SuperBetter may also receive information about you from other sources, including our partners, service providers or other third parties.

Information From Children

Children under the age of 13 require the approval of their parent, guardian or teacher to create an account to play SuperBetter. To create an account to play the Service, SuperBetter requires the user to submit a date of birth, username and email address. If a user is under the age of 13, they are required to also provide an email address for their parent, guardian, or teacher. The parent, guardian teacher is then sent an email and must approve the account before the account can be created.

We do not sell personal information from accounts of children (or anyone else). We may share or distribute information as described in this section and this Privacy Notice, including with parents, guardians or teachers to gather consent to create an account, and with third parties to support internal operations related to providing the Service. We may use aggregated or de-identified information about children for research, analysis and other commercial purposes.

You may also delete your account at any time. If you delete your account, the account history and any activities created will also be also deleted in accordance with our data retention practices.

EU Resident Rights

SuperBetter processes your personal data only when we have a lawful basis for doing so. For example, some information we collect from is used to enable delivery of the Service and fulfill our agreement under the Terms of Service found on the Website, sometimes we collect and process your data when you have given us consent to do so, sometimes we are required by law and regulations to collect and process this information about you, and, at other times, we consider it to be in our legitimate interest to collect and process this information, taking into consideration your privacy rights. In rare cases we also may be required to process your data to protect your vital interests or for a task in the public good.

European users also have several rights under the General Data Protection Regulation in certain circumstances, including the right to access, update and remove your personal data, object to particular processing, or file a complaint with our privacy team or a supervisory authority.

For GDRP inquiries, contact our privacy team at SuperBetter, LLC, 535 Duane Street, Floor 1.5, Glen Ellyn, IL 60137 or privacy@superbetter.com.

California and Nevada Resident Rights

California resident rights: If you reside in California and are not a job applicant, employee, or employee of another company interacting with us in your job role, you have the right to request what information we collect, use, and disclose. You also have the right to request that we delete your information. The easiest way is to log in to your account and delete your account using the option available on your Settings page. To make a request through our support team, use the support contact information found on the Contact us page of the website or the Support tab in your SuperBetter account profile. For requests submitted through our support team, we may need to take additional steps to verify you are the owner of the account, including confirming certain account information and ownership of the email address linked to the account. We will not discriminate against you because you have exercised any of your privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act. You can designate an agent to make a request by having them execute a notarized power of attorney to act on your behalf.

Sales of personal information: Under California law, we are required to tell California residents if we “sell” information as that term is defined by applicable law. “Sell” means to share personal information with a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration. Based on our understanding of that term, we do not sell your personal information. We also have disclosure obligations in Nevada. We do not exchange Nevada residents’ personal information for money with anyone so they may license or sell the personal information to additional parties. We do not sell personal information of minors under the age of 16.

How Long We Retain Your Information

SuperBetter retains your personal information for as long as your account is active, to fulfill our legitimate business purposes, or to comply with our legal obligations. When these conditions no longer exist, SuperBetter removes the information in accordance with our standard deletion processes. SuperBetter may retain and use non-personal information, including information which has been de-identified, aggregated, or anonymized, indefinitely.

We retain records of support tickets and other communications between SuperBetter and our users, for example support emails, survey responses, or feedback submissions, indefinitely in order to better manage our support processes, maintain accurate business records, and identify other trends.

How We Protect Your Information

The security of your personal information is important to us. SuperBetter takes measures reasonably designed to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of personal information.

We use our best efforts to follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. For example, SuperBetter data is encrypted in motion and when at rest, and we use different account authorizations to limit access to user personal information to only authorized team members who require access to perform their role.

Updates to this Privacy Policy

By accessing or using any part of the Service, you represent that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy including any future modifications. SuperBetter may amend, update or change Privacy Policy. If we do this, we will post a notice that we have made changes to this Privacy Policy on the SuperBetter Website for at least 7 days after the changes are posted and will indicate at the bottom of the Privacy Policy the date the policy was last revised. Any revisions to the Privacy Policy will become effective the earlier of (i) the end of such 7-day period or (ii) the first time you access or use the Service after such changes. If you do not agree to abide by the Privacy Policy you are not authorized to use, access or participate in the Service.
