Firstup (“Firstup”) provides a service that connects Firstup’ customers with their affiliate(s), employees, contractors, consultants, customers, agents, partners, bloggers, or any other party who has an account and has been granted access to the service by organization pursuant to an agreement between Firstup and its customer (each a “User”). This Privacy Policy explains how Firstup collects, uses, and discloses information about you as a User through its platform, websites, mobile applications and other online services that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”). This Privacy Policy explains how Firstup collects, uses, and discloses information when you interact with a Firstup-branded Service for certain purposes and does not cover the data practices of customers that use Firstup technology to collect information from or about their Users. Please visit the privacy policy of the Firstup customer who has granted you access to the services to learn about their data practices with respect to the information they collect using Firstup technology.

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time provided that they do not adversely affect your rights unless so mandated by law. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of the policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you a notification). We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access the Services or otherwise interact with us to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.

Data RetentionWe store the information we collect about you for as long as is necessary for the purpose(s) for which we originally collected it. We may retain certain information for legitimate business purposes or as required by law.
Transfer of Information to the U.S. and Other CountriesFirstup is based in the United States and we process and store information in the U.S. As such, we and our service providers may transfer your information to, or store or access it in, jurisdictions that may not provide equivalent levels of data protection as your home jurisdiction. We will take steps to ensure that your personal data receives an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which we process it e.g. by signing the standard contractual clauses stipulated by the EU Commission with the data recipients or by relying on other approved methods. If Firstup transfers personal data to official authorities outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”), United Kingdom (“UK”), or Switzerland, if required by law, express consent has been given or is based on the legitimate interest of Social Chorus or the party for data protection purposes, e.g. internal administrative purposes and no higher legitimate interest of the data subject.
Residents of the EEA, UK, and SwitzerlandIf you are a resident of the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have certain rights and protections under the law regarding the processing of your personal data.

· In order to perform our responsibilities under a contract with our customers, such as by providing the Firstup services you requested.

Data Subject Requests

You may also have the right to object to, or request that we restrict, certain processing. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, you should contact the organization who has granted you access to our services. You may also contact us using the contact information below to exercise these rights, but be advised that we generally do not retain the personal data we collect to identify the customer experiences you are eligible to access, and thus will likely not be able to honor your request.

Questions or Complaints
