If you choose to communicate with us (for example, through the Platform, live chat, email, telephone, SMS, or social media) we will record the fact that you have contacted us, the content of your and our communication, your contact details, and other unique identifiers including IP address and display name.

It is important that all the Personal Information you give us when you register as a user or otherwise when you use the Platform is correct and accurate. This includes, by way of example only, ensuring that we have your correct contact (including email) details at all times.
If you plan to submit someone else's Personal Information to us, for instance when making a booking on their behalf, you should only provide us with that third party's details with their consent and after they have been given access to information about how we will use their details, including the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.
Protecting your personal information

Stripe
We use a third party payment processor, Stripe, to process all payments made by you on our Website & App. Troopr does not store credit card details and instead relies on Stripe for this. We obtain limited information from Stripe such as the last four digits, the country of issuance and the expiration date. The processing of such data by Stripe is covered by their privacy policy which may be viewed here: https://stripe.com/privacy
Stripe’s services in Europe are provided by a Stripe affiliate, Stripe Payments Europe Limited, an entity located in Ireland. In providing its payment processing services, Stripe Payments Europe Limited transfers personal data to Stripe, Inc. in the US. For further information about the safeguards used when your information is transferred outside the European Economic Area, see the section of Stripe’s privacy policy entitled “International Data Transfers.
PayPal Transactions
Please note that all PayPal transactions are subject to the PayPal Privacy Policy which can be found here: https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full. Please ensure that you are happy with the terms of the PayPal Privacy Policy if you wish to use PayPal to complete any transactions through the Platform
Your rights in relation to your personal information
In relation to the personal information we hold about you, you may be entitled to ask us:
For a copy of your personal information
To correct, erase or restrict the processing of your personal information
To obtain personal data which you provide to us for a contract or with your consent in a structured, machine readable format and to ask us to transfer this information to another organisation
To object to the processing of your personal data in some circumstances (in particular, where we don’t have to process the data to meet a contractual or other legal requirement, or where we are using the data for direct marketing).
In the first instance you may be able to view or change the information you have provided us with by logging in to your online account or emailing us at hello@troopr.co.uk.
Your rights in relation to your personal information are limited in some situations. For example, if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person or if we have a legal requirement or a compelling legitimate ground we may continue to process Personal Information which you have asked us to delete. You also may have the right to make a complaint if you feel your personal information has been mishandled. We encourage you to come to us in the first instance but, to the extent that this right applies to you, you are entitled to complain directly to the relevant supervisory authority.
If you wish to exercise any of the above rights, please contact us at hello@Troopr.co.uk. Please note, however, that no financial information will be provided without verification.
What about other websites linked to our Platform?
We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our Platform nor the information or content contained therein. Often links to other websites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our Platform.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Platform to another website, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other website, including websites which have a link on our Platform, is subject to that website's own rules and policies. Always read over those rules and policies before proceeding.
Social Media and User Generated Content
Sometimes Troopr allows users to submit their own content. Please remember that any content submitted to one of our Platforms can be viewed by the public, and you should be cautious about providing certain personal information e.g. financial information or address details via these Platforms. We are not responsible for any actions taken by other individuals if you post personal information on one of our social media platforms, e.g. Facebook or Instagram. Please also refer to the respective privacy & cookie policies of the social media platforms you are using.
Changes to our Privacy Policy
If we change our privacy policies and procedures, we will post those changes on our Platform to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we may disclose it.
Where we store your personal data
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to and stored at a destination outside the UK and European Economic Area (EEA), including in the US and Israel, including for the purposes of processing that data by selected third parties, in order to facilitate Troopr's business. Countries outside the EEA may not have laws which provide the same level of protection to your personal data as laws within the EEA. Where this is the case personal data is adequately protected by EU Commission approved standard contractual clauses, an appropriate Privacy Shield certification, a vendor's Processor Binding Corporate Rules, or another adequacy mechanism established under applicable data protection law. A copy of the relevant mechanism can be provided for your review on request to hello@troopr.co.uk.
Retention
We retain your Personal Information for as long as is required to fulfil the activities set out in this Privacy Policy, otherwise communicated to you or for as long as is permitted by applicable law.
