Personal information you disclose to us. In Short: We collect personal information that you provide to us.

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register on the Services, express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and Services, when you participate in activities on the Services, or otherwise when you contact us. Certain information generated through your use of the Services, including but not limited to content expressing political views, religious beliefs, philosophical positions, or references to racial or ethnic identity within debate content, may constitute “special category” or “sensitive” personal information under applicable law. We do not intentionally solicit such information. Where it is incidentally collected as part of debate participation, it is anonymized or aggregated prior to any use or sharing and is never processed in a form that identifies you individually.

The Service may also request permission to access the contact lists on your mobile device.

Information automatically collected. In Short: Some information — such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address and/or browser and device characteristics — is collected automatically when you visit and use our Services.

We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the Services. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our Services, and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Services, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes. In connection with your use of interactive features on the Services, we may also collect data relating to your engagement patterns, response behaviors, and platform interactions (“Interaction Data”). Interaction Data is anonymized before use and may be processed in aggregated form for research and development purposes. It will not be shared with third parties in a form that could reasonably identify you.

Like many businesses, we also collect information through cookies and similar technologies.

Aggregate information collected. We may also collect anonymous, non-identifying, and aggregate information, the date and time of any request, language preference, referring website, the website you go to after visiting our Site, and the domain name of your Internet provider.

Financial information. Although it may appear that we collect financial information from you on the Service, it is actually collected and processed through a Payment Processor to process payments for the Service. The Payment Processor may collect financial information such as banking information, credit card number, name, CVV code, and/or Credit Card date of expiration, from you on the Service. We do not hold, nor can we access, your financial information, but to a certain extent we are able to exercise control over what the Payment Processor does with your information.

We process your information to provide, improve, and administer our Services (including for promotional emails, and tracking usage trends), communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with applicable law. We may also process your information to enable the optional integration with various Platforms and develop and enhance the features and capabilities of the Services, including through partnerships with third-party technology and research organizations. Where data is used for these purposes, it will first be anonymized or aggregated so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify you. We process your information only when we have a valid legal reason to do so.

A core component of how we operate and generate revenue involves licensing and selling personally identifiable information (“PII”) that has been anonymized and aggregated, potentially including data derived from user interactions, including debate transcripts, engagement metrics, and interaction records, to third-party organizations, which may include AI research laboratories, technology companies, and commercial data purchasers. Before any such licensing or selling occurs, all data is processed to remove personally identifiable information so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify you. This use is foundational to our business model and constitutes a legitimate interest under applicable law.

Where required by law, we will obtain your explicit consent before processing your data for commercial data partnerships.

BY USING ONE OR MORE OF OUR SERVICES, YOU HEREBY CONSENT TO OUR RECORDING, USE, LICENSING, AND DISCLOSURE OF ANY TELEPHONE CALL AND/OR MEETING, DEBATE, OR OTHER CONVERSATION TO WHICH YOU ARE A PARTY (OR ITS RECORDING, AS APPLICABLE) (ALL SUCH RECORDINGS ARE CONTRIBUTIONS FOR PURPOSES OF OUR TERMS OF USE), WHETHER SUCH CONVERSATION IS BETWEEN YOU AND GABBLE, OR BETWEEN YOU AND ANY OTHER PERSON(S) AND/OR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU DO NOT CONSENT TO SUCH RECORDING, USE, LICENSING, AND DISCLOSURE, YOU MAY NOT USE OUR SERVICES.

In Short: We may share information in specific situations described in this section and/or with the following third parties.

We may need to share your personal information in the following situations:

• Service Providers. We may share or transfer your PII with our vendors in order to provide you with the Service.

• Business Transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company, or any other similarly significant transaction involving our company.

• Research and Technology Partners. We may share, sell, and license anonymized and aggregated data derived from your use of the Services with third-party organizations engaged in research, technology development, or related commercial activities. Before any such sharing occurs, data is processed to remove personally identifiable information. Any sharing will be conducted in accordance with applicable privacy law.

• Business Partners. We may share your information with our business partners to offer you certain products, services, or promotions.

In Short: We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your information.

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to gather information when you interact with our Services. Some online tracking technologies help us maintain the security of our Services, prevent crashes, fix bugs, and save your preferences, and assist with basic Site functions. Although it may be possible to turn off the collection of cookies through your device or browser, certain features of the Site may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

We also permit third parties and service providers to use online tracking technologies on our Services for analytics and advertising, including to help manage and display advertisements or to tailor advertisements to your interests (depending on your communication preferences). The third parties and service providers use their technology to provide advertising about products and services tailored to your interests which may appear either on our Services or on other websites.

Our Site may use Google Analytics, provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about use of the Site and report on activities and trends. This service may collect information regarding the use of other websites, apps and online resources.

In Short: If you choose to register or log in to our Services using a social media account, we may have access to certain information about you.

Our Services offer you the option to integrate your Gabble account with third-party social media account details (like your Facebook or X logins) (“Platforms”). Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider. The profile information we receive may vary depending on the social media provider concerned, but will often include your name, email address, friends list, and profile picture, as well as other information you choose to make public on such a social media platform. We generally use such data to more effectively identify or connect with current and potential users.

We will use the information we receive only for the purposes that are described in this Privacy Notice or that are otherwise made clear to you on the relevant Services. Please note that we do not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your third-party social media provider. We recommend that you review their privacy notice to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information, and how you can set your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.

In short, we keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice unless otherwise required by law.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

In Short: If you live in the U.S., you may review, change, or terminate your account at any time, depending on your country, province, or state of residence.

Withdrawing your consent: If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, which may be express and/or implied consent depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section “How Can You Contact Us About This Notice?” below.

However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

Our Terms of Use may identify certain third-party websites to which we may provide links, and that you may click on our Site or in our Services. Please check the privacy policies of these other websites to learn how they collect, use, store and share information that you may submit to them or that they collect. This Privacy Notice does not extend to the websites or services of such third parties.

California law allows its residents to request information regarding our disclosures to third parties in the prior calendar year, if any, of their personally identifiable information. To make such a request, please contact us at support@gabble.world with “Shine the Light” in the subject line. Please include enough detail for us to locate your file; at a minimum, your name, email, and username, if any. We will attempt to provide you with the requested information within 30 days of receipt. We reserve our right not to respond to requests sent more than once in a calendar year, or requests submitted to an address other than the one posted in this notice. Please note that this law does not cover all information sharing. Our disclosure to you will only include information covered by the law.

If you are a Nevada resident, you have to the right to opt-out of the “sale” of your “covered information” as such terms are defined in the Nevada Privacy of Information Collected on the Internet from Consumers Act as amended by Nevada Senate Bill 220 (“Nevada Privacy Law” or “NPL”). For the avoidance of doubt, we do not “sell” your “covered information” as such terms are defined by the NPL. In the event we are “selling” your “covered information”, you may tell us not to sell your information at any time by emailing us at support@gabble.world with your name, postal address, telephone number, and email address with “Nevada Do Not Sell” in the subject line.

We do not knowingly collect any PII from anyone under the age of 18, and we comply with all applicable privacy laws including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), associated Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) rules for collecting personally identifiable information from minors. Please see the FTC’s website (www.ftc.gov) for more information. If you have concerns about our Services, wish to find out if your child has accessed our Services, or wish to remove your child’s personally identifiable information from our servers, please contact us at support@gabble.world. Our Service will not knowingly accept personally identifiable information from anyone under 13 years old in violation of applicable laws, without consent of a parent or guardian. If we discover that a child under the age of 13 has provided PII to us, we will make efforts to delete the child’s PII in accordance with the COPPA. If you believe that your child under 13 has gained access to our Service without your permission, please contact us at support@gabble.world.

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Notice.

In Short: Yes, we will update this notice as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws.

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated “Revised” date at the top of this Privacy Notice. If we make material changes to this Privacy Notice, we may notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to review this Privacy Notice frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information. Your continued use of the Services, or other means of legal acceptance (as required by law), following our notice of changes to this Privacy Notice means you accept such changes.

If you have questions or comments about this notice, you may contact us by email at: support@gabble.world

Based on the applicable laws of your country (or State), you may have the right to request access to the personal information we collect from you, details about how we have processed it, correct inaccuracies, or delete your personal information.
