Privacy Policy

Privacy and security are very important to us at GATHER. This End User Privacy Policy (“Policy”) is meant to help you (the “end user”) understand how we at GATHER collect, use, and share your data when you use GATHER products or services - for example, when you use GATHER Extension, or when you use GATHER to connect and share your data to power the applications (“apps”) you use. These apps, which offer many consumer services and products such as personalized shopping, travel planing etc. are built and provided by our business customers (we’ll call them “developers” here), and powered by GATHER.

​
First, Some Background
​

A quick note about GATHER:

​

Our mission at GATHER is to unlock the value locked in siloed user data for everyone. By delivering access to high-quality, usable personal information with user permission that we’ve translated and standardized, we enable developers to focus on building experiences that benefit you.

​

About this policy: 

​

Our goal with this Policy is to provide a simple and straightforward explanation of what data GATHER collects from and about you and how we use and share that information. We value transparency and want to provide you with a clear and concise description of how we treat your data. This Policy does not cover what developers of the apps you use do with your data. You should review the privacy policies or terms of service for those apps for information about their practices.

​
