Updated March 9, 2022

Welcome to GoBubble Ltd doing business as “GoBubble Family”, “GoBubble Community”, or “GoBubble Enterprise.”  These Terms of Use set out requirements for all of GoBubble’s users for anyone interacting with any of our online properties wherever you may encounter them in the world and whether via website, blog or mobile application (“app”). For example, these Terms of Use govern your use of our website and our app, and include, but may not be limited to, governing your use of any GoBubble Ltd products or services, such as but not limited to GoBubble Family, GoBubble Community, or GoBubble Enterprise (collectively, the “Services”). These Terms of Use also govern your use of the Services whether you use them to mute or filter content directed at you, your family, your organization, your school or school district, your association, your corporation, or your government, or any other entity that GoBubble approves for use of the Services. These Terms of Use apply wherever in the world you may use our Services irrespective of your country of residence or your country of location when using our Services. Additionally, these Terms of Use apply irrespective of the third party products or services to which you apply our Services. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use for our Services, please do not use the Services.

Please continue reading to learn about the rules and restrictions that govern your use of GoBubble Family’s, GoBubble Community’s, and GoBubble Enterprise’s website(s) and all other products, services and applications made available from time to time . This Agreement includes the terms in this document, as well as Freedom2Hear’s and GoBubble Wrap’s Privacy Policy.

Products Designed to Enhance Your Online Experiences

Welcome to GoBubble Family, GoBubble Community, and GoBubble Enterprise, which are products designed to reduce the receipt by you, your family, and your entity, of disfavored content online, particularly sent through various social media.

 

All three products are related and are designed to enhance your online experiences. Individuals can use our Services to mute disfavored content directed to them online and through various social media. Entities of all kinds, including not-for-profit organizations and corporations, can integrate the GoBubble Community or GoBubble Enterprise tools to enable content moderation decisions at the entity level for the benefit of their online communities. While GoBubble intends for these Services to improve and enhance your online experiences relative to your experiences of interacting with content sent to you or your accounts online without the use of our Services no product can fully prevent your receipt of content that you or your family may find disturbing, vile, hateful, abusive, or offensive. Quite simply, the volume of disfavored content online and the constantly evolving nature of that content ensures that despite our best efforts, at least some disfavored content may be received by you, your family, or your entity. We believe that muting or substantially depressing the volume of disfavored content is beneficial to you, your family, your entity, and society. While we will endeavor to mute all such content, as directed solely by you or by the entity that contracts with us for our Services, if you do not wish to be the recipient of any such content please do not use our Services and please do not go online.

 

Before using our Services, you need to be at least 18 years old and agree to these Terms of Use. If you are younger than 18 years of age, a parent or guardian needs to review and agree to these terms for you. Legal requirements differ for our Services depending on your country of origin or residence if you are younger than 18 years of age, and the specifics are discussed further in these Terms below.

 

Will these Terms ever change?

We constantly try to improve our Services, so we may update this Agreement as we offer new and improved Services. We may modify this Agreement at any time, but we will do our best to bring this to your attention by posting a notice on the Services or notifying you by email or by some other means. If you don’t agree with the new Terms, you may reject them but unfortunately you will no longer be able to use the Services. Your use of the Services in any way following notification by GoBubble Family, GoBubble Community, or GoBubble Enterprise,  constitutes your acceptance of the terms and conditions as modified. We may suspend or discontinue any part of the Services, or we may introduce new features, impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the Services at any time. We’ll provide you notice when we make a material change to the Services that would adversely affect you.

 

You represent and warrant to us that:

  • you are at least 18 years old (or, if you are not at least 18 years old, you have your parent’s permission to use the Services, and your parent has read and agrees to this Agreement on your behalf);
  • If you are younger than 13 years of age and living in the United States we will also require Verifiable Parental Consent of your parent or guardian before allowing you to use our Services, or within a very narrow timeframe of your initiation of use of our Services. If we do not receive such Verifiable Parental Consent, we will terminate your use of our Services and delete any personally identifiable information and/or personal data we have collected about you.
  • If you are younger than 16 years of age and living in the United Kingdom or any member nation of the European Union, we will require consent of your parent or guardian before allowing you to use our Services.
  • all registration information you submit is accurate and truthful;
  • you will maintain the accuracy of such information;
  • if you are agreeing to this Agreement on behalf of an entity, whether an organization, association, corporation or any other type of entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to agree to this Agreement on behalf of the entity and bind them to this Agreement (in which case, the references to “you” and “your” in these Terms, except for in this sentence, refer to that entity). You also certify that you are legally permitted to use and access the Services and take full responsibility for the selection, use of, and access to the Services.
  • if you will be submitting any personal information, including personal data, of a third party to the Services, you represent and warrant that you have obtained consent from such third party to collect, use and disclose to GoBubble Family, GoBubble Community, or GoBubble Enterprise such personal information.

 

This Agreement is void where prohibited by law, and the right to access the Services is revoked in such jurisdictions.

What this is saying

We work hard to improve the GoBubble experience for you, so these Terms may change from time to time. We will update you when we make significant changes. Before continuing to use GoBubble Family, GoBubble Community, or GoBubble Enterprise, it will be important to review and agree to any changes.

 

Use by children

Children Who are Residents of the United States

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires that online service providers notify parents of children in the United States and obtain their consent before they knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from children who are under 13. For more information on COPPA, please click here. We only collect personal information through the Services from a child under 13 where that student’s parent or guardian has provided us with Verifiable Parental Consent allowing us to collect and use that personally identifiable information.

 

If you are an entity, such as a school, school district, sports league, civic organization or member association, or any other entity that serves minor children residing in the United States younger than 13 years of age that wishes to use any of our Services, we will require that you obtain such Verifiable Parental Consent as an express condition of your use of our Services, via the terms described below.   You must obtain this Verifiable Parental Consent for each such child younger than 13 years of age prior to their use of the Services and disclose that personal information to us.

 

If we learn we have collected personal information from a child younger than 13 other than pursuant to the above, or if we learn a child younger 13 has provided us personal information beyond what we request from him or her, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.

 

Except as expressly set forth below, we do not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from a child under 13. GoBubble’s mechanisms and policies for compliance with COPPA meet or exceed the requirements of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation for the protection of the Personal Data of children.

 

Children Who are Residents of the United Kingdom or the European Union

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires that Members of the European Union take special precautions to protect the personal data of children, especially those children younger than 16 years of age. The United Kingdom has agreed to continue to implement GDPR. GDPR makes clear that younger children lack the ability to grant consent for collection or processing of their personal data. The age at which children may grant consent is set by each EU member nation and by the United Kingdom and varies from country to country. GoBubble requires a parent or legal guardian to provide consent for the use of our Services for any child residing in any EU nation or the UK based on the relevant age requirement of the nation of residence of the relevant child.

Children Living Anywhere in the World Using Our Services

  • For children using our Services we may collect a child’s name (first name and last initial), date of birth, email address or telephone number, and the child’s parent’s email address. We collect these in order to notify the parent, obtain their Verifiable Parental Consent (if not already obtained) or consent, as appropriate, based on country of residence.  
  • The list of personal data that we collect for all users is listed in our Privacy Policy. Please review that Policy for discussion of our data practices. We collect personal data from all users of our Services in order to provide content moderation Services.
  • Note that if the account of a child under 13 is inactive for at least twelve months (meaning, that account has not received a message through the Services in that time), our policy is to delete the personally identifiable information and/or personal data associated with that child’s account. While we delete the account in these situations, some of the child’s data may persist in the files of our agents or service providers for some period of time until it is removed from their systems as well.
  • We may collect personal information through the Services from a child under 13 that has been signed up for GoBubble Community or GoBubble Enterprise but only in support of their use and enjoyment of other third party sites and services. For GoBubble to collect this type of personally identifiable information or personal data, the entity establishing a GoBubble account (e.g., a student’s school, school district, membership group or association, sports league, or corporation)  must agree to obtain parental consent for that child to use the Services, or GoBubble must obtain that consent. The entity may disclose that personally identifiable information or personal data to us for the legitimate purpose of facilitating our provision of content moderation tools to increase child safety and child welfare and health to reduce the receipt by the minor of content deemed inappropriate, offensive, vile, illegal, or otherwise undesirable.
  • If you are an entity establishing any type of GoBubble account for a minor you represent and warrant that you are responsible for complying with relevant child privacy laws depending on the country of residence of the child.

 

 

Privacy

We take the privacy of our users very seriously. Please read our Privacy Policy, locatedhere. We comply with all relevant privacy laws and regulations. We utilize Standard Contractual Clauses provided by the EU and approved by the UK’s Information Commissioner's Office to effectuate lawful transfers of the personal data of residents of the EU, EEA, or UK to the United States for processing.

 

Fees and payment; Responsibility for usage charges

By using our Services either you agree to pay for using our Services, or the entity that established your account on your behalf agrees to pay for your Access to and use of our Services.  We reserve the right to charge additional fees for certain features. We will notify you when we intend to charge for a feature. You will always have the choice whether to use those features. If you continue to use our Services or any feature after you have been notified of any applicable fees, that use constitutes your acceptance of any new or increased fees.

Through GoBubble Family, GoBubble Community, or GoBubble Enterprise you may be able to access and use products or services operated by other individuals or companies who are not employed or controlled by us (such as, but not limited to, a social network, the site or service for a club, association, sports league, team, or company, or a club payment platform to request and/or make payments). If you use any of these products or services, you must review and agree to the additional terms and conditions and privacy policy of that third party site or service, as well as pay any applicable fees required to use those products. Any information you agree to provide will be governed by that entity’s or business’ privacy policy.

 

Note that, by using the Services, you may receive e-mail or text messages on your phone or mobile device, which may cause you to incur usage charges or other fees or costs in accordance with your wireless or data service plan. Any and all such charges, fees, or costs are your sole responsibility. You should consult with your wireless carrier to determine what rates, charges, fees, or costs may apply to your use of the Services.

To help us we ask for your help with our terms of use

Be awesome to each other. We don’t like bullies and will remove people from GoBubble if we become aware of people trying to use it to upset others.

Report misbehavior, such as bullying. GoBubble makes it easy for you to report users if you want to and it will be flagged to our team to resolve the matter within 1 day. We won’t let the person know who reported them, ever. We promise. This report is anonymous and is there to help all of GoBubble’s users feel empowered to take care of themselves and others on GoBubble. We can take a series of corrective actions, which can include suspending the other user or removing them from the Services altogether.

Respect artists. If you aren’t the original singer of a piece of music, writer of a book, or creator of a piece of art, such as a photo or video, do not share that piece of art without getting the artist’s approval prior to sharing that art with others on GoBubble. (Please don’t copy someone else’s work or pretend it’s yours. Someone else will have worked very hard creating it and it’s their copyright.) We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you are an artist who believes that a GoBubble user has shared your copyrighted material without permission using our website or app, please contact us via email at: privacy@gobubblewrap.com

Think before you post. When you share something -- a comment, an emoji, a picture or a video -- on the Internet or through an app, including through GoBubble, that sharing is essentially permanent. While there are ways to delete some content or your account, once you have shared something with someone else, that person or group of people will always have a copy of what you shared with them in their GoBubble accounts. So, we always recommend you pause for a moment before you share because the Internet creates a permanent record. Do not post anything you might later regret posting.

Respect yourself. (Please don’t post pictures, films or messages that are rude, nasty or could upset someone else. If you do share inappropriate images we may report these. And, remember others may be able to review some of the content on GoBubble so do not say or post anything that you would later be embarrassed about).

If any provision of this Agreement is declared invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in effect. GoBubble has the right to modify these terms and conditions at any time.

Informal Dispute Resolution. We like you. We really do like you. But, just in case we have a disagreement, we will work together to resolve that disagreement. We want to address your grievance, or ours, without resorting to a formal legal dispute. Before filing a claim against GoBubble, you and your parent or guardian agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us by email at privacy@gobubblewrap.com. We promise to try to work out any confusion or complaint amicably. If we cannot resolve our dispute within 30 days, we can proceed to a formal legal dispute.

Laws Governing Legal Disputes and Venue. The laws of the United Kingdom govern this set of Terms, as well as any dispute, claim, or controversy that may arise between you and GoBubble, despite claims to the contrary regarding conflict of laws provisions. Should a dispute need to be adjudicated between us, the only proper venue for such a dispute will be a court of law within the United Kingdom.

No Class Action or Multi-Party Lawsuits. If you have a dispute with GoBubble you may only work to resolve that on an individual basis. You or your parent or guardian, acting on your behalf or their own, may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidations with other arbitrations are not permitted as a condition of you using our service whether for free or through purchase.

Entire Agreement. These Terms, and any others, such as ourPrivacy Policythat we may refer to in these Terms, are the complete set of agreements between GoBubble and you as the end user of our services. These Terms supercede and control with respect to any other agreement. If any part of these Terms are found to be unenforceable by a court or arbitrator, the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect. If GoBubble fails to enforce any part of these Terms, that failure does not constitute a waiver of our ability to enforce those provisions.

What does this privacy policy cover?

This Privacy Policy explains how GoBubble collects, uses and discloses information from you and other users who access or use the Services, including our treatment of Personal Information. Also, this Privacy Policy covers GoBubble's treatment of any Personal Information that our partners share with us, or that you provide to GoBubble through another third party website or service while using the Services. This policy does not apply to websites, services or practices of companies that we do not own or control, even if they help us operate our Services. Third party providers who do help us operate our Services must adhere to privacy and security obligations in a manner consistent with GoBubble's policies and practices.

What this is saying

Here is what this policy covers: all information that you provide to us and that we collect while you are using GoBubble. This policy does not cover third party companies that we do not control but who help us operate our service. Those third party companies must adhere to privacy and security obligations in a manner consistent with GoBubbles policies and practices. Keep reading, there is more about this later!

What information does GoBubble display or collect?

When you use the Services, you may set up your account and transmit information through various channels and third party services as permitted by the functionality of the Services. GoBubble will not display your personal contact information to other users, without your permission. If, however, you utilize GoBubble through GoBubble Community or GoBubble Enterprise, we will share your personal contact information with Organizers, as that term is defined in our Terms of Use.  The information we gather from Participants enables us to attempt to verify user identity, allows our users to set up a user account and profile through the Services, and helps us personalize and improve our Services. We retain this information to provide the Services to you and our other users and to provide a useful user experience.

Information you provide to us

We receive and store any information you knowingly enter on the Services, whether via computer, mobile phone, other wireless device, or that you provide to us in any other way. With your express consent, you may be able to upload, import or sync contact information from your mobile device (for example, from your address book) to GoBubble. This information may include Personal Information such as: your name, your user name, password, phone numbers, email addresses, photographs, and, in certain circumstances, your school and/or district, video that may contain your voice and image, club, team or Organization or Enterprise affiliation (which may be used to validate your account or to provide you with notifications via the Services from a teacher, school and/or district, class, group, club, team or affiliated Organization or Enterprise ("Notifications"), or any other information necessary for us to provide our Services. You may choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the Personal Information we receive about you to provide you with the Services and also for purposes such as:

  • attempting to authenticate your identity,
  • responding to your requests for certain information,
  • customizing the features that we make available to you, including and especially content moderation on third party sites,
  • suggesting relevant services or products for you to use,
  • improving the Services and internal operations (including troubleshooting, testing, and analyzing usage),
  • communicating with you about new features
  • and, most importantly, protecting our users, sending emergency messages we are directed to send to you, and working towards making sure our Services are safer and more secure.

You may modify or remove your Personal Information at any time by logging into your account. If an Organizer uploads or adds information about you to your account, you may have to contact and work directly with that Organizer in order to modify or remove that information.

The information you provide to GoBubble is also used to analyze usage and improve our products and services. We do not show or share your Personal Information without your permission except in the few circumstances described here. We may also review account information to protect the safety of our community.

Information collected automatically

We receive and store certain types of information whenever you use the Services. GoBubble automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser including GoBubble cookie information, the page you requested, and other usage information such as your activity on the Services, the numbers and frequency of visitors to our site and its components (similar to TV ratings that indicate how many people watched a particular show). None of this information constitutes Personal Information. Certain information that is collected automatically, such as device ID, IP address, session information, and browsing information that is associated with a user will be treated as Personal Information.

We also may provide to our partners aggregate information derived from automatically collected information about how our users, collectively, use our Services. We may share this type of non-personally identifiable, aggregated statistical data so that our partners also understand how often people use their services as well as our Services.

What this is saying

There is certain information that we gather automatically when you use GoBubble, such as navigation and cookie information. Some of this information is collected and used in an aggregate and anonymized way to help improve our service. If Personal Information is included, we treat it carefully like all other Personal Information.

 

What about cookies, pixels, and local storage?

Cookies are small files that websites place on your computer as you browse the web. Like many websites, GoBubble uses cookies to discover how people are using our Services and to make them work better.

A pixel is a small amount of code on a web page or in an email notification. As many services do, we (or our agents) may use pixels to learn whether you've interacted with certain web or email content on our Services. This helps us measure and improve our Services and personalize your experience on GoBubble.

Local storage is an industry-standard technology that allows a website or application to store information locally on your computer or mobile device. We use local storage to customize what we show you based on your past interactions with Gobubble.

GoBubble uses these technologies to deliver, measure, and improve our Services in various ways. These uses generally fall into one of the following categories:

Authentication and security

  • To log you into GoBubble.
  • To protect your security.
  • To help us detect and fight spam, abuse, and other activities that violate GoBubble's policies.

For example, these technologies help authenticate your access to GoBubble and prevent unauthorized parties from accessing your account.

Preferences

To remember information about your browser and your preferences.

For example, cookies may help us remember your preferred language or country that you are in. We can then provide you with GoBubble content in your preferred language without having to ask you each time you visit GoBubble. We can also customize content based on your country, such as disabling SMS, or to withhold certain content based on applicable local laws.

Analytics and research

To help us improve and understand how people use our Services.

For example, cookies help us test different versions of our services to see which particular features or content users prefer or to share information about our services to you as you interact online across the internet. We might also optimize and improve your experience on GoBubble by using cookies to see how you interact with our services, such as when and how often you use them and what links you click on.

Most browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways. Note that the use of cookies by anyone other than GoBubble is not covered by our privacy policy. We do not have access or control over those cookies.

 

What will we use your personal information for?

Your personal information may be used for the purposes specified in this Policy and, in particular, we may use your personal information for the following purposes:

  • Providing our Services to you (or acquiring goods and services from you) and others and communicating with you in general.
  • Analysing and improving our services and activities (including our website).
  • Considering, evaluating and reporting on the social and environmental impact of our work.
  • Undertaking research -- exclusively using anonymized personal information -- to produce reports and insights to further advance online safety for those using our services and to share reports of the conclusions of that research with organizations and corporations working with children to further enhance online safety on their sites and services.
  • Providing you with further information about our business, aims and impact, services or activities (subject to any requirements to obtain your consent to receive such information).
  • Operating our website in an effective and secure manner, aiming to create a high-quality user experience and presenting content effectively and appropriately for you.
  • Satisfying our legal obligations, for example in relation to payment of taxes and employment law.

Data Retention

We will retain your personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes we collected or processed it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any contractual, legal, accounting, reporting or taxation requirements. To calculate the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes in any other way, as well as applicable legal requirements.

How is children's Personal Information treated?

GoBubble complies with all laws and regulations regarding the personal information of minors, including, but not limited to the United Kingdom’s Age Appropriate Design Code, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, and the United States’ Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act ("COPPA").

Residents of the United Kingdom

GoBubble complies with the Age Appropriate Design Code and the General Data Protection Regulation. If you are younger than 16 years of age before using GoBubble we must obtain the consent of your parent or guardian to collect, process, share, store, or use your personal data.

Residents of the European Union

GoBubble strictly complies with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation. GDPR requires that GoBubble obtain the consent of a parent or guardian prior to the collection, processing, sharing, storing, or use of data of minors. Each country in the EU has determined the age of minors below which consent is required and GoBubble strictly complies with these requirements.

Residents of the United States

COPPA requires that online service providers obtain parental consent and provide notice before they knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from children who are younger than 13 years of age ("under-13 users"). GoBubble typically relies on a school, school district, club, association, organization, or corporation to obtain Verifiable Parental Consent to provide our services to under-13 users. Pursuant to COPPA, we may collect an under-13 user's name (first name and last initial), date of birth, email address and/or telephone number in order to operate and provide the Services, and we may collect the under-13 user's parent's (or legal guardian's) email address in order to provide notice to the child's parent or guardian that we may contact the under-13 Participant for the purpose of allowing access to and use of the Services. If GoBubble does not receive Verifiable Parental Consent within a reasonable time period, the under-13 account  and his/her Personal Information will be deleted. If an under-13 Participant's account is inactive for at least twelve months, GoBubble's policy is to delete the Personal Information. If we learn we have collected Personal Information from an under-13 Participant other than pursuant to the above, or if we learn that an under-13 Participant has provided us Personal Information beyond what we request from him or her, we will delete that information as quickly as possible after we have identified it. If you believe that an under-13 Participant may have provided us Personal Information in violation of this paragraph, please contact us at privacy@gobubblewrap.com.

In order for an under-13 user to gain access to additional features or services, GoBubble may employ one or more methods approved by the Federal Trade Commission for verifying parental consent.

While COPPA requires GoBubble to follow these procedures for under-13 users in the United States, GoBubble employs the same process to obtain consent for all users under 13 years old.

 

What happens when I associate my account with a GoBubble Community or GoBubble Enterprise?

Users may have the choice of associating their account with a Community or Enterprise through GoBubble, such as a school, team, sports league, association, group, or company). This may be required (for example) for employees by an employer and may be either required or strongly encouraged for other types of Organizers in order to use certain features of the Services. Other users may attend a school or school district that contracts with GoBubble for use of our Services, and this may automatically create an account for all the students, teachers, parents and relevant administrators of that class, school, or district and associate their accounts with the class, school, or district.

By associating your account with an Organization, you acknowledge and agree that an Organizer may be able to view your User Submissions (including your Personal Information and messaging content). In addition, Organizers may be able to make administrative changes to your account.

Will GoBubble share any of the Personal Information it receives?

GoBubble relies on its Participants to provide accurate Personal Information in order to provide our Services. We try our best to protect that information and make sure that we are responsible in handling, disclosing, and retaining your data. We neither rent nor sell your Personal Information to anyone. If other GoBubble users, other individuals or companies whose products you choose to use, have access to your Personal Information (for example, your messaging content), they may use and share that information in ways that GoBubble cannot, and does not, control. GoBubble shares your Personal Information in personally identifiable form as described below.

Business transfers

If GoBubble (or substantially all of its assets) is acquired by another company, user information may be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by that company. You acknowledge that such a transfer may occur, and that any acquirer of GoBubble may continue to use your Personal Information as set forth in this policy. You will be notified via email or some other means of any change in ownership or uses of your Personal Information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your Personal Information (including the right to delete your information). If GoBubble goes out of business without a successor, GoBubble would delete your information..

Protection of GoBubble and others

We may release Personal Information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to:

  • comply with the law or national security request (for example, responding to a subpoena or other legal process);
  • enforce or apply our Terms of Useand other agreements; or
  • protect the rights, property, or safety of GoBubble, our employees, our users, or others. This includes, without limitation, exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection or responding to government requests.

We also may be required to disclose an individual's Personal Information in response to a lawful request by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

With your consent

You will be notified when your Personal Information may be shared with agents or companies other than GoBubble or the entity that established your GoBubble account on your behalf and you will be given the option to prevent the sharing of this information unless GoBubble determines that not disclosing this to you prior to your information being shared is necessary to comply with applicable laws or legal processes or we are prohibited by law or legal processes from informing you in advance.

What this is saying

If there is any other reason we need to share your Personal Information (other than for legal reasons), we will get your consent first.

Is information about me secure?

The security of Personal Information in the school environment is a top priority for GoBubble.

GoBubble has protections in place to enhance our users' security, and routinely update these protections. We have administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect against unauthorized use, disclosure of or access to Personal Information. GoBubble endeavors to protect user information and to ensure that user account information is kept private; however, we cannot guarantee the security of user account information. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of user information at any time. If GoBubble knows or becomes aware of a security breach of its users' personally identifiable information, GoBubble will notify affected users as required by applicable laws and may post a notice on the Services as required by applicable law(s).

The Services contain links to other sites or services. GoBubble is not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices on other sites. When linking to another site you should read the privacy policy stated on that site. This Privacy Policy only governs information collected on the Services.

What this is saying

The security of your Personal Information is extremely important to us and we take measures internally to make sure your information is safe with us. We routinely update our security features and implement new protections for your data. If we learn that your data was breached, we will notify you as soon as possible so you can take actions to protect your data.

Third party services

You may be able to access certain third party products through GoBubble's Services to share content to or from another website or app. These are not GoBubble products; they are another company's and we do not control their privacy and security practices so only you can decide whether to connect your GoBubble account with another company's services.

What information can I access and modify?

GoBubble acknowledges that individuals from the EU, EEA, UK and various states in the United States have the right to access the Personal Information that we maintain about them. Any individual who seeks access to, or who seeks to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate data, or to port their data to another, similar service should direct their query to privacy@gobubblewrap.com. If requested to remove data, we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

You also have the right to request access to the Personal Information we hold about you in order to verify the Personal Information we have collected in respect of you and to have a general account of our uses of that Personal Information. Upon receipt of your written request to our Privacy Team (contact information below), GoBubble will provide you with a copy of your Personal Information although in certain limited circumstances, we may not be able to make all relevant Personal Information available to you such as where that information also pertains to another individual or as otherwise required or permitted by law. In such circumstances We will provide reasons for the denial to you upon request. We will endeavor to deal with all requests for access and modifications in a timely manner.

How do I delete my account?

You may request deletion of your GoBubble account by accessing your account online or contacting us at privacy@gobubblewrap.com. Note, if you are a Participant or Organizer and you request to delete your account, GoBubble may notify the Organization or Enterprise. Please note that certain information may remain in our records, server logs and archives after deletion of your account. GoBubble retains this information for purposes such as diagnosing problems with the service and for auditing legal investigations, but reserves the right to delete this information in accordance with its standard business practices in effect from time to time. Further, information and other content you have provided may remain visible elsewhere to the extent such content was copied or stored by other users.

California Residents - Exercise of Rights

If you reside in California you are entitled to exercise certain rights outlined in the California Consumer Protection Act. You may access the information we collect about you, modify it or delete it by contacting us at privacy@gobubblewrap.com.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our information practices. If we make any material changes we will notify you by email (using the e-mail address specified in your account) or some other means prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.
