The Granny Rewards LLC and any future corporate affiliates (collectively, “Granny Rewards”) put great efforts in making sure that personal information is safe and used only in full compliance with applicable data protection laws and regulations.

This privacy policy (“Policy”) explains Granny Rewards’ privacy practices for processing personal information on Granny Rewards’ websites and apps (the “Sites & Apps”) and via Granny Rewards’ Services (the “Services”). It applies whenever you access or use the Sites & Apps or a mobile application or website that is connected and/or uses the Services (as applicable). Please take the time to read the full Policy.

1. About Granny Rewards Sites & Mobile applications

The Granny Rewards Sites & Apps (Mobile Applications) are marketing websites and apps aimed to provide information and content created by Granny Rewards, about Granny Rewards and its Services.

The Granny Rewards Sites & Apps include, but are not limited to the following:

When visiting the Sites & Apps, Granny Rewards may receive information that you voluntarily provide, such as when you fill out a “contact us” form request, when you apply to join one or more of the Granny Rewards Services or when you subscribe to the Granny Rewards newsletter and may collect certain ‘traffic/session’ information from your device. Such information may include personal information such as your name, email address, telephone number or any other information you provide to Granny Rewards. Please note that you are not required by law to provide us personal information. Our Sites & Apps are not directed to children under 16 years of age and we do not intentionally or knowingly collect personal information on such users.

2. The Personal Information that Granny Rewards collects and Personal Information You Provide voluntarily via the Sites & Apps

Depending on how you interact with Granny Rewards’ Sites & Apps, collection and processing of personal data varies.

When you contact Granny Rewards, by filling a form on the Sites & Apps, contacting Granny Rewards’ customer support team for technical issues or contacting Granny Rewards’ legal team with any questions or inquiries or when Granny Rewards contacts you regarding any of the above, Granny Rewards may receive and process any personal information that you provide Granny Rewards such as your name, your company’s name and email address.

If you submit personal information in a comment on a blog post or on any applicable social media websites, the personal information that you submit can be read, collected or used by others and could be used to send you unsolicited messages or otherwise contact you. Granny Rewards is not responsible for the personal information that you choose to submit in these blogs.

Granny Rewards retains the information collected via the Sites & Apps for so long as you use the Services or until you choose to unsubscribe from the Granny Rewards mailing list (link to cancel subscription is included in every email sent to you), or until Granny Rewards deletes your personal information pursuant to a written request from you.

When you access the corporate website, Granny Rewards’ servers log certain ‘traffic/session’ information from your device, such as your user agent and the Internet Protocol (IP) address. Granny Rewards may collect information about your activity, for example, your log-in and log-out time, the duration of sessions, viewed web-pages or specific content on web-pages, activity measures and geo-location of your device.

Granny Rewards may use the information collected on the Sites & Apps to evaluate Users’ interests and behaviour on a pseudonymous, no-name basis in order to being able to deliver tailored content.

As required under applicable law, Granny Rewards will use identifiable information to enforce Granny Rewards’ terms, policies and legal agreements, to comply with court orders and warrants, and assist law enforcement agencies, to collect debts, prevent fraud, misappropriation, infringements, identity thefts and any other misuse of the Services, and to take any action in any legal dispute and proceeding.

Granny Rewards commits to process personal information solely for the purposes described in this policy.

In case you register for an account in one of the Sites (reward platforms) & Apps, we receive and collect information about you, your device and the ad offers that you view and engage with, and we use this information to provide and improve the services, reward you for offer engagement, and to draw inferences about which offers may be more or less interesting to you. This information is collected through the Sites & Apps, and through your interactions with ads.

3. Here are the types of information that we may collect from you:

Information about the device itself, including

  • Whether it is a smartphone or tablet
  • What operating system and version it uses (e.g., iOS, version 11.0)

4. Payment handling information

If you opt for a payout in one of the reward platforms or Apps you also opt to provide your email address or PayPal account address for Granny Rewards to be able to send your reward.

Some of these services may also enable the sending of timed messages to the User, such as emails containing invoices or notifications concerning the payment

5. Registration and authentication

By registering or authenticating, You allow Granny Rewards to identify you and give you access to dedicated services. Depending on your selected registration / authentication method, third parties (as laid out in section 3 of this policy) may provide registration and authentication services. In this case, this Sites & Apps will be able to access some Data, stored by these third party services, for registration or identification purposes.

6. Survey information

We occasionally run ad offers for demographic surveys so we can identify client survey opportunities that you may be eligible for through the Third Party Market Research (MR) companies. If you opt to complete one of these surveys, we associate the responses with the device identifier for the device you used to access and complete the survey offer. Granny Rewards may share your personal information and/or social-demographic information, including, without limitation, a unique identification number (“UID”), postal code, region, province, gender, marital status, education, ethnicity/race (where permitted by applicable law), employment related information, non-personally identifiable information on household members, consumer product and service usage and ownership (e.g., computers, cars, mobile devices, video games, etc.), home ownership, pet ownership, employment information (e.g., title, role, travel, industry, etc.), and social grade, with third party sample/market research companies (individually each a “Third Party MR Company” and collectively the “Third Party MR Companies”) for the following purposes:

Identifying client survey opportunities that you may be eligible for through the Third Party MR Companies; and

Disclosing such data elements to clients of the Third Party MR Companies for audience measurement services; and

Appending such data elements to completed client surveys and delivering the appended survey data to clients of the Third Party MR Company(ies) for analytical or research purposes; and

Other uses as set forth in their privacy policy.

If you are eligible for a client survey opportunity offered through a Third Party MR Company, the Third Party MR Company will provide your unique identification number and a survey link to us and we will invite you to participate in the client survey through our incentivized offer walls. We will not share your name, email address, or phone number with the Third Party MR Companies. In connection with the sharing of your information with a Third Party MR Company, your information may be transferred and stored outside of your country of residence, including, without limitation, in the United States, and by agreeing to this privacy policy you are agreeing to the processing and exportation of your personal information as set forth in this Section. If you complete one of those surveys, your responses go to the MR company (not to us), and will be governed by the MR company’s privacy policy. If you have any questions about this data sharing or if you want to opt-out, please contact privacy@grannyrewards.com. If you opt-out, it is the responsibility of us to inform the Third Party MR Companies. Please note that Granny Rewards is solely liable and responsible for managing all opt-out requests. Your participation in such survey opportunities does not entitle you to any benefits offered by, or membership with, the Third Party MR Companies.
