This privacy policy is provided by Collctiv Limited, a company registered in England with company number 11783005, whose registered address is Colony 5 Piccadilly Place Manchester M1 3BR ("we" or "us").
As part of our business, particularly providing our Collctiv app (the “App”), we collect basic personal details about users of the App, including group organisers who download the App, and group contributors, who pay money into a pot on the App (we refer collectively to such individuals in this policy as “you” or “your”).
Under UK data protection law, we have certain legal responsibilities about how we collect, use, protect and share your personal information. If you have any questions about how we use your personal information or any other questions about this privacy policy, feel free to contact us, using the details set out in paragraph 10 below.
This policy explains our privacy practices in relation to how the App is used, and covers the following:
This privacy policy only relates to details that we collect and use, about people who register for and use our App (“Organisers”) and also to people who pay money to the Organiser, in relation to the App (“Contributors”) and also to people who enter our competitions and giveaways. We also have a separate privacy policy, which applies for visitors to our website.
2.1 Information that we collect
We will also see partial details concerning an Organiser’s and Contributor’s payment card and/or bank account but at an anonymised level (we can only see the last 4 digits) – so we will never have access to your full card details or bank account details, nor will we be able to identify you from that incomplete card number.
2.2 Information collected and used by our third party service providers
If you are an Organiser for a group on the App, and you wish to make a withdrawal from the central pot on the App, into a separate bank account, our third party service provider may need to obtain further ID from you, as part of anti-money laundering checks. This will usually entail asking for your name, photograph on an official document which confirms your identity (e.g. a passport) and your residential address and date of birth.
We do not currently collect, nor can we access any of the following types of personal information which are likely to be used as part of the services delivered through the App:
The above service providers may therefore also collect personal data about you separately from us when you use the App services. You can find out more information about what personal data the service providers collect about you and what they use it for, and how they protect it, via the following links:
However, if you have any queries about how your personal information is being used on the App, including by any of the above third party providers, please contact us in the first instance, using the details set out at paragraph 10 below – we may then refer you to the relevant third party provider, depending on the nature of your query.
Generally speaking, we only collect and use your personal information that you provide directly to us, whether this is when you register with the App, and/or when you make transactions using the App or contact us with a support query.
