Notice for California Residents
Personal Information We Collect
We collect various types of information from and about users of our Services in order to provide and improve the Services we offer and to communicate with you about our offerings. The information we collect includes information:
By which you may be personally identified, such as any identifier by which you may be contacted online or offline (“Personal Information”);
That is about you but individually does not identify you; and/or
About your internet connection, the equipment you use to access our Services, and usage details about the Services.
We collect information in the following ways:
Directly from you. For example, when you create an account to access the Services, from forms you complete, or when you provide information directly on the Services.
Indirectly from you. For example, from observing your actions on our Services or pulling your contact information from an electronic communication you send through the Services.
Third parties. For example, our service providers. Personal Information You Provide to Us
We collect Personal Information you provide to us through the Services or as part of the Services, such as when you create an account with us, provide information through the Services, or contact us for support. Examples of the type of information you may provide to us are:
Personal information by which you may be personally identified, such as your name, personal and professional mailing address, and email and phone number.
Account credentials.
The content of your communications (written, oral, or electronic) when you interact with our customer service team.
Information that you provide on the Services, including but not limited to in directories, or in response to promotions and surveys.
Audio recordings from customer service call.
Payment and billing information. Interactive Services and User Contributions
Because the nature of the Interactive Services is to allow Users to share User Contributions with each other, any User Contribution you post to the site, and all content in your User Contributions will be accessible to the public, will not be confidential or proprietary, and will not receive the same protections as information you submit to us through other means. You may use our in-app service to switch on “INCOGNITO MODE,” which will hide your personal profile information from other users when you use INCOGNITO MODE, but INCOGNITO MODE WILL NOT hide the User Contribution. By making a User Contribution, you consent to the information in that User Contribution being accessible to the public, and if you include personal information in the User Contribution, even in INCOGNITO MODE, you consent to it being posted and accessible to the public.
Information We Collect Automatically
As you navigate through and interact with our Services, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns, including:
Details of your visits and use of our Services, including traffic data, location data, logs, audio recordings when you make customer service calls for quality and training purposes, content interaction information, such as files or content viewed or interacted with, time spent consuming content, and download information, and other communication data and the resources that you access and use on the Services.
Information about your computer, mobile device, and internet connection, including your IP address, mobile network operator, Device ID, internet service provider, operating system, and browser type.
Information about the types of marketing communications that you are presented with as well as the ones that you open and/or to which you respond.
We also may use various technologies to collect information about your online and in-app activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services (behavioral tracking). Some browsers allow users to select “DO NOT TRACK” as an option to tell website owners you do not wish to have your information tracked. Our in-app services allow users to switch on “INCOGNITO MODE” as an option to hide your personal profile information from other users while in this mode; however, it does not mean that Goodtalk alters the means of automatic data collection.
The information we collect automatically does not include Personal Information, but we may maintain it or associate it with Personal Information we collect in other ways or receive from third parties. It helps us to improve our Services and to deliver a better and more personalized service, including by enabling us to:
Estimate our audience size and usage patterns.
Store information about your preferences, allowing us to customize our Services according to your individual interests.
Speed up your searches.
Recognize you when you return to our Services.
The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include:
permit us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).
See our <Cookie Policy> for more detail about information we collect automatically. Your Choices in Relation to Tracking and Online Advertising
Users can visit Ad Settings (google.com) for more information about its settings.
Users can visit Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on Download Page for information on how to opt-out of Google Analytics.

Alternatively, you may opt-out of this advertising if you are located in the European Union by visiting <Your Online Choices>. Opt-outs are generally device and browser specific, meaning that you will need to opt-out on each device and browser you use. Please note, even if you opt-out of interest-based advertising, you will continue to receive ads, but they will not be targeted to your interests.
Users can manage their cookie preferences for our Website by utilizing the online cookie preference center at the bottom of the Website. You may also reject or block all or specific types of cookies from our App by setting your preferences on your device.

Right to Know and Data Portability
You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past twelve (12) months (the “right to know”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see <Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete>), we will disclose to you:
The categories of Personal Information we collected about you.
The categories of sources for the Personal Information we collected about you.
Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that Personal Information.
The categories of third parties with whom we share that Personal Information.
The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
Categories of Personal Information that we have disclosed or sold to a third party for a business purpose.
Categories of third parties to whom the residents’ Personal Information was sold.
We do not provide a right to know or data portability disclosure for business-to-business Personal Information.
Right to Delete
You have the right to request that we delete your Personal Information. Subject to certain exceptions, we will endeavor to delete your Personal Information and direct any service provider to delete your Personal Information. Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see <To Exercise Your Right to Know or Right to Deletion>), we will review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:
Complete the transaction for which we collected the Personal Information, provide a service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
Comply with a legal obligation.
Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.
We will delete or de-identify Personal Information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action. We do not provide these deletion rights for business-to-business Personal Information.
Right to Opt-Out
You have the right to direct us not to sell your Personal Information. Our Services are not directed to or intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from children under 16. If you are under the age of 16, do not use or provide any information on the Services, through features of the Services, register for the Services, make any purchases through the Services, purchase any services, use any of the interactive or public comment features of the Services, or provide any information about yourself to us, in any manner, including your name, address, telephone number, email address, or any screen name or user name you may use.
Right to Non-Discrimination
Deny you Services.
Charge you different prices or rates for Services because of exercising your consumer rights to your data, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
Provide you a different level or quality of Services.
Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for services or a different level or quality of Services.
However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by law that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any legally-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your Personal Information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time. We do not currently provide any such incentives.

Submitting a Request
Calling us at our toll-free number: (800) 480-4534.
Submitting a request through our Website: <https://TheGoodtalkApp.com/contact-us/>. You may only submit a request to know twice within a twelve (12)-month period.
Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to your Personal Information. We will need to verify your identity before processing your request. In order to verify your identity, we will generally either require you to login to your account or we must be able to match certain information you provide us to the information we maintain about you. Your request to know or delete must:
Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative of such person.
Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
Certain requests may require us to obtain additional Personal Information from you. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you. We will only use Personal Information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
Requests Submitted by Authorized Agents
In certain circumstances, you are permitted to use an authorized agent, as that term is defined by the CCPA (“Authorized Agent”), to submit requests on your behalf where you provide sufficient evidence that the requestor is an authorized agent with written permission to act on your behalf and you successfully verify your own identity with us. An Authorized Agent can make a request on a California resident’s behalf by:
For requests to know and delete: (1) providing a valid power of attorney under the laws of California; or (2) providing sufficient evidence to show that the California resident has (i) provided the Authorized Agent signed permission to act on their behalf, (ii) verified their own identity directly with us, and (iii) directly confirmed with us that they have provided the Authorized Agent permission to submit the request on their behalf.
For requests to opt out: submitting a signed permission demonstrating that the Authorized Agent has been authorized by the California resident to act on their behalf.
Response Timing and Format
We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please email privacy@TheGoodtalkApp.com.
We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another forty-five (45) days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
We will deliver our written response electronically to the email address we have on file for you, regardless of the email address from which you submitted the request.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the twelve (12)-month period preceding our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
To Exercise Your Right to Opt-Out
Minors Under Age 16
You have the right to direct us not to sell your Personal Information. Our Services are not directed to or intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from children under 16. If you are under the age of 16, do not use or provide any information on the Services, through features of the Services, register for the Services, make any purchases through the Services, purchase any services, use any of the interactive or public comment features of the Services, or provide any information about yourself to us, in any manner, including your name, address, telephone number, email address, or any screen name or user name you may use.
If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected Personal Information from a child under the age of 16, and we do not have parent or guardian consent on file, we will delete such Personal Information from our records. If you believe we have collected or are processing Personal Information from a child under 16 years of age, please <Contact Us>. As such, we do not “sell” the Personal Information of consumers we know to be under 16 years of age.
Notice of Financial Incentives
From the time to time, we may run sweepstakes, contests, or other offers and promotions (collectively, “Programs”) that may be deemed “financial incentives” in relation to our collection of Personal Information under CCPA. A business may offer financial incentives for the collection, sale or deletion of California residents’ Personal Information, provided it is not unjust, unreasonable, coercive or usurious, and is made available in compliance with applicable transparency, informed consent, and opt-out requirements. We may run sweepstakes or contests from time to time. Please refer to the terms and conditions of each Program for additional information about the Program, including how eligible consumers can opt-in or opt-out of the Program at any time. In order to enter a Program, you may be required to provide us or a service provider acting on our behalf with certain Personal Information, such as identifiers including your name and contact information (“Rewards Data”). If you submit your entry in accordance with the applicable Program’s rules, you may be entered into the Program and will get a chance to win a prize or receive another benefit from us. The value of Rewards Data is related to the value of your information and the costs associated with offering the Program.
California “Shine the Light”
In addition to the rights described above, California’s “Shine the Light” law permits California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure, if any, of certain categories of Personal
Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes during the immediately preceding calendar year. To make such a request, please send an email to privacy@TheGoodtalkApp.com. This request may be made no more than once per calendar year.
Do Not Track
Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to websites with which the user communicates. Because there is a wide variety of standards for "do-not-track" signals, our Services will generally not respond any differently if you transmit “do-not-track” signals.
Changes to this Privacy Notice
This California Privacy Notice may be updated periodically. If we make material changes, we will attempt to let you know via email or other communication. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices. As long as you continue to use the Services, you agree to this California Privacy Notice and any updates we make to it. We will not, however, use your Personal Information in a manner that is materially different than what we disclosed to you at the time the Personal Information was collected without your consent.
