Privacy Policy
Premise collects information about you when you install our mobile application and through other interactions and communications you have with us through our online services or otherwise. This Privacy Policy applies to the Premise apps, websites, platforms, and products and services available on or at the apps, websites or other online portals. Remember that your use of the Service is at all times subject to the Terms of Use, which incorporates this Privacy Policy. Any capitalized terms we use in this Privacy Policy without defining them have the definitions given to them in the Terms of Use: https://www.premise.com/app/tos.html. The Service is owned and operated by Premise Data Corporation (“PDC”), and this Privacy Policy applies to information collected and used by Premise Data Corporation.
We may transfer the information described in this Privacy Policy to, and process and store it in, the United States, which may have a lower level of data protection laws than your country of residence. Where this is the case, we will take appropriate measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable laws.
We are constantly trying to improve the Service. We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time as well. We will alert you to changes by sending you an in-app message, posting a notice on relevant social media platforms, posting the updated Privacy Policy on our website, platforms and/or by some other means. Please note that if you’ve opted not to receive legal notice emails from us (or you haven’t provided us with your email address), those legal notices will still govern your use of the Service, and you are still responsible for reading and understanding them. If you use the Service after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to all of the changes. Use of information we collect is subject to the Privacy Policy that is in effect at the time the information is collected.
SCOPE AND APPLICATION

We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone who is under the age of 18 years, or the age of majority where that individual resides or is located when using the Service, which ever is lower (collectively, the “Age Minimum”).

If you want to learn more about the information we collect, here are a few more details:
Information You Provide to Us
We collect information you provide directly to us, as well as information you provide through use of third party accounts. We collect information when you create or modify your account, complete a task, contact customer support, or otherwise communicate with us. This information may include: name, social media account, email address, phone number, payment identifier, and other information you choose to provide. We also collect any images, videos or recordings that you submit to us, including photos, screen shots and audio recordings.
Information We Collect Through Your Use of the Service
When you use the Service, we collect information about you in the general categories below:
Location Information: When you use the Service to complete Premise tasks, we collect precise location data that tracks your check-in location and observation locations. If you permit the Service to access location services through the permission system used by your mobile operating system (“platform”), we may also collect the precise location of your device when the app is running in the foreground or background. We may also derive your approximate location from your IP address.
Contacts Information: If you permit the Service to access the address book on your device through the permission system used by your mobile platform, we may access and store names and contact information from your address book for account verification, and also for referrals and similar usages.
Power Information: If you permit the Service to access your power information on your device through the permission system used by your mobile platform, we may access and store your power levels and charging status to understand the environment our product operates in.
Transaction Information: We collect transaction details related to your use of the Service including your payment information, the payment provider you use, the date and time a Task was completed, submitted, reviewed and paid, a cash out was initiated, the amount of money made, and other related transaction details.
Usage and Preference Information (Do Not Track Policy): We collect information about how you and site visitors interact with the Service, preferences expressed, and settings chosen. In some cases we do this through the use of cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies that create and maintain unique identifiers. Through cookies we place on your browser or device, we may also collect information about your online activity after you leave the Service. Just like any other usage information we collect, this information allows us to improve the Service and customize your online experience, and otherwise as described in this Privacy Policy. Your browser may offer you a “Do Not Track” option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and web applications and services (including behavioral advertising services) that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities over time and across different websites. The Service does not support “Do Not Track” requests at this time, which means that we collect information about your online activity both while you are using the Service and after you leave the Service. By using our Service, you expressly consent to this collection of information.
Device Information: We may collect information about your mobile device, including, for example, the hardware model, operating system and version, software and file names and versions, preferred language, unique device identifier, advertising identifiers, serial number, device motion information, and mobile network information.
Log Information: When you interact with the Service, we collect server logs, which may include information like device IP address, access dates and times, app features or pages viewed, app crashes and other system activity, type of browser, and the third-party site or service you were using before interacting with the Service. We may also collect internet and other online activity, including browser information and history, cookie information (pursuant to your cookie preferences, if any), and time stamps.
Information We Collect From Other Sources
If you provide your third-party account credentials to us or otherwise sign in to the Service through a third party site or service, you understand some content and/or information in those accounts (“Third Party Account Information”) may be transmitted into your Premise account if you authorize such transmissions, and that Third Party Account Information transmitted to the Service is covered by this Policy. We may combine information from this app or site with information we have collected from you in your capacity as a user of the Service.
We use analytics to help analyze how our users use the Service. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as how often our users visit the Service, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to the Service. We may use the information we get from Google Analytics to improve our Service or to send you promotional messages about our Service. Google Analytics collects the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the Service, but not your name or other personally identifying information. We do not combine the information generated through the use of Google Analytics with any personally identifying information. Although Google Analytics plants a persistent Cookie to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Service, the Cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Service is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You may find additional information about Google Analytics at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
Where we are required to seek your consent to the use of non-essential cookies under applicable laws, we seek this consent through our cookie management tool.
Google, Branch, Amplitude and FullStory, and any other similar vendors with which Premise works, may collect or receive personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across different websites from the Service and other apps, and use that information to provide measurement services and targeted ads. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information for ad targeting. You can opt out of Google Analytics by using the following add-on https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
PDC takes fraud prevention and legal compliance seriously. As a condition of being qualified to sign up for and complete Tasks using the App, Premise may conduct background and security checks, as it deems appropriate and in its sole discretion.
