Date last modified: June 11, 2020

This site is provided by Flat Feet Digital (“we,” “us,” “our,” or similar terms). This Privacy Policy informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use the website located at https://www.somastruct.com (the “Site”) and the choices you have associated with that data. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms of Use, accessible from https://www.somastruct.com/terms-of-use/.

1. Information We Collect

We collect several different types of information to personalize and improve our Site, to allow users to register an account, to contact users, to analyze how users utilize our Site, and as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy.

A. Information You Provide to Us

While using the Site, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Data”). The amount and type of information that we gather depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask for basic information like your name, email address, and password in order to set up your account when you purchase a membership on the site. You may also provide us information (e.g. name, email address) when you respond to surveys, comment on blog posts, communicate with us through email, or create a post in a public forum on the Site.

You can always refuse to supply personal data; however, doing so may prevent you from taking advantage of some of the Site’s features and services.

In no event will we ever request sensitive personal data (e.g. health information, religious preferences, etc.) from you, and we expressly request that you not provide any such sensitive personal data to us.

B. Information We Collect Automatically

We also collect some information automatically:

i. Usage Data

We may collect information about how the Site is accessed and used (“Usage Data”). This Usage Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of the Site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.

ii. Tracking & Cookies Data

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on the Site and hold certain information. A cookie is a file containing a small amount of data that uniquely identifies your browser. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device. Other tracking technologies used may include beacons, tags, and scripts to collect and track information and to improve and analyze the Site. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions or features of the Site.

iii. Analytics

We use analytics providers such as Google Analytics. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect non-identifying information. Google provides some additional privacy options regarding its Analytics cookies at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners.

You can prevent Google Analytics from using your information by opting out at this link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

2. Use of Data

We will only use the personal data we collect as reasonably necessary for the following purposes:

  1. to provide and maintain the Site;
  2. to allow you to use and interact with the Site;
  3. to notify you about changes to the Site;
  4. to communicate with you from time to time in response to your requests for information or as may be relevant to your account;
  5. to provide customer support;

3. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data Under General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it.

We may process your Personal Data because:

  1. we need to perform a contract with you;
  2. you have given us permission to do so;
  3. the processing is in our legitimate interests and it’s not overridden by your rights;
  4. for payment processing purposes; or
  5. to comply with the law.

4. Maintenance of Personal Information

If you would like to change the information that we maintain about you, you may log into your account and change it or contact us by email for any information to which you don’t have access or the ability to change yourself. If you believe any of your information is incorrect or needs updating, please let us know at the email address listed in the “Contact” section below. We will use reasonable efforts to correct your information and our records upon verification of the requested change.

We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests. In some cases, we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical. In any case where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort.

5. Visitors’ Choices and Opt-Outs

If you no longer wish to receive email notifications from us, please let us know by contacting us at privacy@fixflatfeet.com. In your email, please specify which notifications you no longer want to receive and provide your exact name and email address. After such a request is received, we will use reasonable efforts to stop sending you such notifications. Please note that some communications (such as account notifications) are considered transactional and necessary for account management and you cannot opt out of these messages unless you request to terminate your account. You may also opt out of any marketing emails by clicking the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of these marketing messages.

6. Retention of Data

We will retain your Personal Data for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy unless a longer retention period is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or to enforce our legal agreements and policies.

7. Disclosure to Third Parties.

We will not disclose your personal data to third parties except as follows:

  1. when we believe disclosure is reasonably required to comply with any law or legal request;
  2. to enforce our legal and contractual rights, or to protect the rights and safety of others;
  3. to third parties who help us provide any part of the Site, to the limited extent required for such help, and on condition that they may not further disclose your data or use it for any other purpose; or
  4. as part of a sale of our assets or a merger of our company.

We may share information that has been anonymized or aggregated without limitation.

8. Transfer Of Data

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction. If you are located outside of the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to the United States and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

9. Security Of Data

The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
