Privacy Policy

Realizer is a Service of Social Software Solutions AG. All visitors to our Service (“Visitors”) who register with the Service and join a Group are Members or Companies . Companies are the organizers of Groups. Members register and participate in Groups. Companies decide who can join their Group and whether they choose to run advertising or paid Member subscriptions on their Group. This Privacy Policy describes how we, Social Software Solutions AG, obtain and use information about you and your activities and your participation in a Group and your use of Realizer mobile applications. To offer the personalized experience of a Group, we collect personal information about you (“Personal Data”). This policy describes how we collect, use, and share your Personal Data with your Company and other Members in connection with your use of the Service, including our mobile applications. Unless defined here, capitalized words have the same meaning as in the Realizer Terms of Use, which this Privacy Policy is part of.

  1. Information we collect and how we use it

When you visit our website, join or create a Group, interact with us or your Group Creator through the Service, or use our mobile applications, we, as the service provider for your Group Creator, process Personal Data and other information from you (collectively, “Data”). We use your Personal Data to be able to provide the Service to you:

  • We process Personal Data when you share it voluntarily.
  • We collect some Personal Data automatically when you visit our website, use the Service or use our Realizer application.
  • We use your Personal Data to provide and improve the Service, understand how you and other Members are using Groups and display such information or aggregated information.
  • As we explain in our Terms of Use, you (and the people you license Your Content from) keep complete ownership of all Your Content. By posting Your Content on the Service, you grant us a license to use it, but you and your licensors still own it.
  1. Personal Data you provide directly

‘Personal Data or Personal Information’ means any information relating to you from which you can be identified, directly or indirectly, including your name, contact Id, member Id, birthday, address data, location, online identifier such as your IP address, device Id or Cookies, or one or more factors specific to your physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity. For Guests, we allow to just specify their First name (hopefully real), so that even all other collected Personal Data are as anonymous as possible.

‘Special Categories of Personal Data’ means data revealing your personal interests within a Group which, depending on the Group’s purpose can be, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, and data concerning your health, sex life or sexual orientation.

‘Aggregated Data’ is data in a summary form for statistical analysis. A common purpose of aggregation is to get more information about particular groups based on specific variables such as age, profession, or income level.

‘Pseudonymisation’ means the processing of your personal data in a way that the personal data can no longer identify you without the use of additional information, so long as the additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to prevent you from being identified or identifiable.

Name, Email Address, Phone Number, Other Chat App Ids, Company details (if any) etc.  When you register as a Group Creator, we ask you for your details as you have responsibilities within the Group. Any other Participant can store this information voluntarily and set access rules to them in Privacy settings. We are using your Phone Number if you want to restore your password to send you a SMS with a passcode. During payments, you are sharing some information with the Payment Provider you choose (e.g. Apple, Google, Stripe etc.) which happens outside of our scope, but is reported back to us.

Your Location. We ask you for your location so that we can show Events matching your location, show Media which is available only in restricted locations or facilitate interactions with other Participants in your geographic area insofar the Group Creator allows this. In addition, if you opt-in our mobile app collects your GPS location information. If you enable location features or do not disable GPS on your mobile device other Members may be able to see your location if defined for this Group.

Other Personal Data You Provide Directly. You may also provide us Personal Data when you use certain features of the Service such as participating in conversations or polls in your Networks, contact us with inquiries, or respond to one of our surveys.

Other Personal Data You share with Group Creator. If you visit an external Webpage whether by following links provided by the Group Creator or which the Group Creator seamlessly integrates within the Groups visual experience, we provide a Single Sign On which gives the Group Creator’s external page access only to your contact Id and lets this external Service set/unset Tags, but not read out any personal Data like your real name.

  1. Personal Data and Information we collect automatically

To guarantee your optimal data protection we DO NOT use services like Facebook, Google or Apple Login or Like and Comment Buttons of such Services so that you are not tracked by them.

We use cookies to collect information about your visits to our website and Service.

We use this information for our legitimate interests to track usage of our Service, to measure the number of unique visitors to the different sections of our Service, to understand how Members find and join Groups, and to help us make our Service more valuable to every Group Creator and Participant. The use of this information is called “analytics.” Often information used for analytics is aggregated.
Our mobile applications on iOS (Apple) and Android (Google) have to interact with our computer servers. We assign your device a token so that you do not have to log in every time you use the Service via our mobile apps.
You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some of our Service features may not work properly without cookies. Most browsers accept cookies automatically but allow you to disable them.
