Introduction

TripHub, LLC (“Company” or “We”) respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this privacy policy.  This privacy policy describes:

·       The types of information we may collect or that you may provide when you download, register with, install, access, or use TripHub (the “App”); and

·       Our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

This privacy policy applies only to information we collect in the App and in email, text, our website and other electronic communications sent through or in connection with the App.

This privacy policy DOES NOT apply to information that:

·       We collect offline or on any other apps or websites, including websites you may access through the App; or

·       You provide to or is collected by any third party (see, Third Party Information Collection, below).

Other third parties may have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read before providing information on or through them.

Please read this privacy policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it.  If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not download, register with, or use the App.  By downloading, registering with, or using the App, you agree to this privacy policy.  This privacy policy may change from time to time (see, Changes to our Privacy Policy, below).  Your continued use of the App after we revise this privacy policy means you accept those changes, so please check the privacy policy periodically for updates.

Children Under the Age of 16

The App is not intended for children under 16 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.  If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 16 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information.  If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 16, please contact us at mariel@triphubapp.com.

California residents under 16 years of age may have additional rights regarding the collection and sale of their personal information.  Please see Your State Privacy Rights for more information.  

Information We Collect and How We Collect It

We collect information from and about users of our App:

·       Directly from you when you provide it to us; and

·       Automatically when you use the App.

Information You Provide to Us

When you download, register with, or use the App, we may ask you provide information:

·       By which you may be personally identified, such as name, postal address, email address, telephone number, or any other information the app collects that is defined as personal or personally identifiable information under an applicable law as well as any other identifier by which you may be contacted online or offline (“Personal Information”); and

·       That is about you but individually does not identify you, such as:

ü  Your mobile device and its characteristics and functionalities.

ü  Your use of the App; and

ü  Your use of third-party applications and resources.

This information includes:

·       Information that you provide by filling in forms in the App, information provided by you in registering to use the App, posting material, and in responding to inquiries and surveys initiated by us, and information provided when you report a problem with the App;

·       Records and copies of your correspondence, including email addresses and phone numbers, if you contact us;

·       Your responses to surveys that we might ask you to complete for research purposes.
