This Privacy Policy explains how Bubbles B.V. (“Turf” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and discloses information about you when you access or use our Turf Website (“Website”), https://www.useturf.io/ or our Turf Web Application (“App”) and other online products or services that link to this Privacy Policy through the Website or the App (collectively, the “Services”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to any other data gathered or used by Bubbles including data collected through websites that do not link to this Privacy Policy.

By using the Website, App, or Services or by otherwise interacting with them, you assent to this Privacy Policy.

If you do not assent to this Privacy Policy, do not use the Website, App, or Services or otherwise interact with or submit personally identifiable information (“PII”) or personal information (“PI”) to the Website, App, or Services.

We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of the policy and, in some cases (for example if we plan to use your information in a way that materially differs from this Privacy Policy), we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our website homepage or sending you a notification).

We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access the Website, App, or Services or otherwise interact with Turf to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you. Your continued use of the Website, App, or Services following the posting of any changes to this policy verifies that you accept such changes.

When our customers and their admins use our Website, App, or Services to submit, manage, or otherwise use content relating to our customers’ data (“Customer Data”), we have contractually committed ourselves to only process such information on behalf of and under the instruction of the respective customer, who is the “data controller”. This Privacy Policy does not apply to such processing and we recommend you read the privacy policy of the respective customer if their processing concerns your personal information.

Information Collection

When you use the Website, App, or Services, we may collect the following types of information from and about you. Some of this information may be considered “personally identifiable information” (“PII”) or “personal information” (“PI”), meaning it reasonably identifies you or your device or it is reasonably associated with you. It does not include transactional data related to purchases at or through the Website, App, or Services, unless we combine such transactional data with your PII or PI, which we may do. We also collect, use, and disclose aggregated or deidentified data that does not identify you or your device.

Information You Provide to Us:

When you open an account with us through the Services (“Account”), we may ask you to provide us with identifiers and contact information such as your name, email address, and any other information you may provide. We may also collect identifiers when you participate in any interactive features of the Services (like send a message through the Services), fill out a form, publish statements on our platform, participate in a contest or promotion, make a purchase, apply for a job, communicate with us via third-party social media sites, request customer support, or otherwise communicate with us.

When you pay for our Services, we ask for your credit card information. Your credit card is passed directly to our payment processor. We do not store this information on our servers. We do store a record of the payment transaction, including the last 4 digits of the credit card number, for account history, invoicing, and billing support. We also store your billing address to calculate any sales tax, to maintain records that may be used for investigations of potentially fraudulent credit card transactions, and to print on your invoices. We may collect commercial information such as your purchase history, including records of products or services you have purchased, provided, returned, or are considering purchasing from us.

Finally, we may collect other content and information you share through the Services when you submit information or content, such as by commenting on a blog or participating in online communities, or when you otherwise interact with our Services. When you interact with other users, our customers, their admins and their online communities on our Website, App or Services, they may collect any content or information you share with them. Turf may also collect any content or information you share with others through the Website, App or Services.

Information That May Be Collected Automatically Through Our Website, App, or Services:

When you access or use the Website, App, or Services or transact business with us, we may automatically collect information about you, including:

Identifiers, such as your IP address, Internet service provider (ISP), the type of mobile device you use, the temporary or persistent unique device identifiers (sometimes called UDID), and identifiers associated with browser cookies, web beacons and similar technologies we deploy on our Website, App, or Services;

Internet or Other Electronic Network Activity Information: We may collect information about the devices and computers you use to access our Website, App, or Services, such as browser type, language, operating system, the referring web page, pages visited, and hyperlinks clicked. When you use our Website, App, or Services, we may collect usage information sent to us by your computer, mobile, or other access device that tells us how you are using the Website, App, or Services and other information about your internet activity (“usage information”).

Commercial Information such as your purchase history, including records of products you have purchased or are considering purchasing from us, services you have provided or have had provided to you, such as transactional information when you make a purchase, we collect information about the transaction, such as services provided, product details, purchase price, and date and location of the transaction.

Geolocation Information. We may derive the approximate location of your device from your IP address. We may combine this information with other location-based information, such as your billing or postal code. You have the ability to stop the collection of precise location information at any time (see “Your Choices” below for details).

We (and our third-party partners and service providers) use different technologies to collect information, including cookies and web beacons. Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory that help us improve our Services and your experience, see which areas and features of our Services are popular, and count visits. Web beacons (also known as “pixel tags” or “clear GIFs”) are electronic images that may be used in our Services or emails and help deliver cookies, count visits, and understand usage and campaign effectiveness. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, see our Cookie Policy.

Information Collected from Third Parties:

We may also obtain information about you from other sources. For example, we may collect information about you from third parties, including but not limited to identity verification services, credit bureaus, mailing list providers, and publicly available sources. When you interact with our customers, their admins, online communities and other users on our Website, App or Services, we may collect from them any content or information you choose to share or provide. We may also obtain information about you from other sources, including but not limited to joint marketing partners, social media platforms, people with whom you are friends or otherwise connected to on social media platforms, and other third parties. For example, if you connect your social media account to your Account, or create or log into your Account through a social media site, certain information from your social media account will be shared with us, which may include information that is part of your profile or your friends’ profiles. In addition, we may supplement the information that you provide us and/or the information we collect from you with demographic, social, and other information about you that we receive from other sources. Once we combine information from other sources with your information collected pursuant to this policy, we apply this policy to the combined information as long as it is combined.

  • provide, maintain, and improve the Website, App, or Services;

  • process, complete, and maintain records on transactions;

Any aggregated information shared in this manner will not contain your personal information.

With Other Users of the Website, App, or Services. If you provide or share information with other users on the Website, App or Services, they may use it for their own purposes. If you post information or content, such as by posting photos, commenting on a blog, or participating in online communities, or when you interact with the Website, App, or Services through social media sites, plug-ins or other applications, depending upon your privacy settings, this information may become public on the Internet. We cannot prevent further use of this information. You can control what data you share through privacy settings available on some social media sites. Please refer to those third-party sites’ privacy policies and terms of use to learn more about their privacy practices, which we do not control.

We may share information collected about you with law enforcement, governmental agencies, or authorized third parties, in response to a verified request relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity or any other activity that may expose us, you, or any other Website, App, or Services user to legal liability or if we believe disclosure is in accordance with, or required by, any applicable law or legal process, including lawful requests by public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

In Connection with a Change of Control. We may transfer or disclose your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company.

When you use the Website, App, or Services, we may collect the following types of information from and about you. Some of this information may be considered “personally identifiable information” (“PII”) or “personal information” (“PI”), meaning it reasonably identifies you or your device or it is reasonably associated with you. It does not include transactional data related to purchases at or through the Website, App, or Services, unless we combine such transactional data with your PII or PI, which we may do. We also collect, use, and disclose aggregated or deidentified data that does not identify you or your device.

Information You Provide to Us:

When you open an account with us through the Services (“Account”), we may ask you to provide us with identifiers and contact information such as your name, email address, and any other information you may provide. We may also collect identifiers when you participate in any interactive features of the Services (like send a message through the Services), fill out a form, publish statements on our platform, participate in a contest or promotion, make a purchase, apply for a job, communicate with us via third-party social media sites, request customer support, or otherwise communicate with us.

When you pay for our Services, we ask for your credit card information. Your credit card is passed directly to our payment processor. We do not store this information on our servers. We do store a record of the payment transaction, including the last 4 digits of the credit card number, for account history, invoicing, and billing support. We also store your billing address to calculate any sales tax, to maintain records that may be used for investigations of potentially fraudulent credit card transactions, and to print on your invoices. We may collect commercial information such as your purchase history, including records of products or services you have purchased, provided, returned, or are considering purchasing from us.

Finally, we may collect other content and information you share through the Services when you submit information or content, such as by commenting on a blog or participating in online communities, or when you otherwise interact with our Services. When you interact with other users, our customers, their admins and their online communities on our Website, App or Services, they may collect any content or information you share with them. Turf may also collect any content or information you share with others through the Website, App or Services.
