Legal Privacy Policy
Date of Last Revision: April 10, 2019
Welcome to the web site (the “Site”) of Sweep Imp ( “Sweep Imp”, “we”, “us” and/or “our” or “Operator”). This Site is operated by Sweep Imp and has been created to provide information about our company and its content and data linking platform and related services (together with the Site, the “Service(s)”) to our Service visitors ). This Privacy Policy sets forth Sweep Imp’s policy with respect to information including personally identifiable data (“Personal Data”) and other information that is collected from visitors to the Site and Services.
The processing and collection of personal data is governed by the US law and by the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), and whenever you provide the Operator such information, the Operator will only use your information in line with all applicable data protection laws, including the GDPR. At all times, You are in control of Your information, and You can withdraw Your consent to provide Your information to the Operator except for information which is necessary for the Service’s functionality.
The data controller of the Service Sweep Imp which is the entity which decides how Your personal information is processed and for what purposes as detailed in the Privacy Policy.
To exercise your rights, please contact the Operator’s Data Protection Officer at the following contact details: Sweep Imp, 870 N. Miramar Avenue, 32903, Indialantic, Florida, or at support@sweepimp.com.
Your Rights Regarding Your Personal Information
GDPR is a really good set of rules protecting your privacy, you can ask me what kind of data I save about you, ask to erase some or all of it (AKA “the right to be forgotten”), and other things.
By the way, I would have also done that for you without GDPR.
Under the GDPR and subject to different exemptions, You have the following rights:
- To access Your personal data and receive a copy of Your personal data upon Your request;
- To rectify, erase or restrict Your information upon Your request (right to be forgotten);
- To object to the processing of Your information except for what is necessary for the Website’s functionality;
- To request that the Operator will provide You with Your personal information and, if possible, to transmit Your data directly to another data controller (right to data portability).
- To withdraw Your consent for collecting and processing Your information at any time.
No fees are required for exercising any of the above rights. However, and subject to the GDPR, the Operator may charge You a reasonable fee including administration fees if Your request is repetitive or excessive or demands the Operator to bear excessive and/or expensive efforts.
Database and Use of Information
All the data I collect about you is intended for me being of better service to you. I am not doing anything shady with any data I have – just improving myself.
In short – “everything I do – I do it for you”.
All collected information as stated above at the Operator’s possession. With accordance to Your consent, the Operator warrants to use such information for the following purposes:
- Enabling convenient and efficient use;
- Improving and enriching existing services and content;
- Modifying and/or removing existing services and content;
- Performing research and providing statistic information to third parties (in such case, the provided information will not identify You);
- Enforcing the Operator’s Terms;
- Providing You unique services including sending you newsletters upon providing Your email address;
- Reviewing content You uploaded via the Service;
- Collecting debts including unpaid subscription fees;
- Any other purpose detailed in the Terms and this Privacy Policy.
Your information is collected and used because the Operator has a legitimate business interest for Your personal data to be used for the above purposes. This enables the Operator to send You relevant and personalized content designed to improve Your use of the Website. You have the right to object to this by contacting the Operator. Please note that if you object, this may affect the Operator’s ability to send personalized content to You and to offer You relevant content.
Please note that some of the information You will be requested to provide is necessary for providing You the Services. Therefore, Your refusal to provide some information may result in You not receiving the Services since the Operator will not be practically able to provide you the Services.
Third-Party Service Integration
To use Sweep Imp, which is me, I need to store your credentials for third-party social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc), which I store encrypted in my database, and are only used to access data you tell me to. I also log certain non-identifiable information to provide support and fix problems.
Our Service allows you to share on, and interact with, various online social media services (“Social Media Services”). In order to take advantage of this feature, you may need to authenticate, register for or log into Social Media Services through the Service or on the websites of their respective providers. When you enable linking between or log in to Social Media Services through the Service, we will collect relevant information necessary to enable the Service to share on your behalf on that Social Media Services and your data (“Login Credentials”). We store your Login Credentials long enough to enable linking to the Social Media Services.
When you enable the Service to share on Social Media Services, the Social Media Services will provide us with access to certain information that you may have provided to the Social Media Services, and we will use, store and disclose such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the rules you set to govern the linking. However, please remember that the manner in which Social Media Services use, store and disclose your information is governed by the policies of such Social Media Services, and Sweep Imp shall have no liability or responsibility for the privacy practices or other actions of any Social Media Services that may be enabled within the Service.
We may retain certain personally non-identifiable information related to the data shared to Social Media Services (for example, date sent, link configuration, names of the Social Media Services), for the purpose of improving our Services and as described below in the “Non-Identifiable Data” section.
Third-Party Payment Processor
My makers use a third party payment processors, BlueSnap and ChargeBee, for all payments. I don’t store credit card details and instead rely on BlueSnap and ChargeBee for this.
We use a third party payment processor to process payments made to us. In connection with the processing of such payments, we do not retain any personally identifiable information or any financial information such as credit card numbers. Rather, all such information is provided directly to our third party processors, BlueSnap and ChargeBee, whose use of your personal information is governed by their privacy policy, which may be viewed at https://home.bluesnap.com/privacy-policy and https://www.chargebee.com/privacy, respectively.

If my makers sell the company, personal data may be included in the transfer.

Agents, Consultants and Related Third Parties: Sweep Imp, like many businesses, sometimes hires other companies which it trusts to perform certain business-related functions. Examples of such functions include mailing information, maintaining databases and processing payments. When we employ another company to perform a function of this nature, we only provide them with the information that they need to perform their specific function.

Links to Other Web Sites

This Privacy Policy applies only to the Services. The Services may contain links to other web sites not operated or controlled by Sweep Imp (the “Third-Party Sites”). The policies and procedures we described here do not apply to the Third-Party Sites. The links from the Services do not imply that Sweep Imp endorses or has reviewed the Third-Party Sites. We suggest contacting those sites directly for information on their privacy policies.

Sweep Imp takes reasonable steps to protect the Personal Data provided via the Services from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no Internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error free. In particular, email sent to or from the Services may not be secure.
