Privacy Policy

The security, privacy, and anonymity of our customers’ data is our highest priority.

Last Updated: November 8, 2023

Welcome to the POPin Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is meant to help you understand how MG Advisory, LLC. and its affiliates and subsidiaries (“POPin”, “we”, “us”, “our”) collect, use, process, share and safeguard Personal Information gathered through our website (https://www.trypopin.com), our mobile and web applications (https://app.popinnow.com), our other products and services, and via other means. In this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual.

This Privacy Policy applies when POPin is a “data controller”, which means that POPin decides why and how Personal Information is processed. POPin provides a crowdsourcing platform (the “Platform”) to companies and organizations (“Customers”), which enables Customer to invite employees or other individuals (“Platform Users”) to share information. When using the Platform, the Customer is the data controller and decides how and why Personal Information is processed. Please contact the relevant Customer if you are a Platform User and have questions about their privacy policies and practices.

We’re glad you’re taking the time to read this Privacy Policy. If after reading through this you still have additional questions, please contact us. We’re happy to help.

1. ANONYMOUS PARTICIPATION AT POPin
When participating in a POPin, you may elect not to disclose your identity to the company that organizes the POPin (our Customer). This is a key feature of POPin which we call anonymous participation. If you participate anonymously, whether answering a question, voting, or commenting, we will not share your identity with our Customer, unless required to do so by law. However, it is possible that the Customer could guess or infer that you provided a response based on the content of the response.

Where applicable, we indicate whether and why you must provide us with your Personal Information, as well as the consequences of failing to do so.
