Privacy Policy

 

We hold the right to modify and make changes as we see fit according to our company structure.

The Internet is an amazing tool. It has the power to change the way we live, and we're starting to see that potential today. With only a few mouse-clicks, you can follow the news, look up facts, buy goods and services, and communicate with others from around the world. It's important to REMNIES to help our customers retain their privacy when they take advantage of all the Internet has to offer.

We believe your business is no one else's. Your privacy is important to you and to us. So, we'll protect the information you share with us to the best of our ability. To protect your privacy, REMNIES follows different principles in accordance with worldwide practices for customer privacy and data protection.

  • We won’t sell or give away your name, mail address, phone number, email address, or any other information to anyone.
  • We’ll use state-of-the-art security measures to protect your information from unauthorized users.

REMNIES and its affiliates (“Company,” “we,” “our,” and/or “us”) value the privacy of individuals who use our social news application, website, and related services (collectively, our “Services”). This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) explains how we collect, use, and share information from our users (“Users,” “you,” and/or “your”) to facilitate your commenting, social news, and influencer networking experience. By using our Services, you agree to the collection, use, disclosure, and procedures this Privacy Policy describes. Beyond the Privacy Policy, your use of our Services is also subject to our Terms of Service Click Here.

We process and store your information in the USA. We neither sell your information to third parties nor share your information with foreign governments except in the limited circumstances described in this Privacy Policy (see “How We Share the Information We Collect” below for more detail).

Information We Collect

We may collect a variety of information from or about you or your devices from various sources, as described below.

Information You Provide to Us

Registration and Profile Information

When you sign up for an account, we may collect information such as your name, email address, display name, and profile photo along with other information you share.

Verification Information

If you choose to go through the verification process, we may ask for information that can be used to verify your identity, such as scans of your government-issued photo identification. When your government-issued photo identification information is no longer necessary to verify your identity, we delete the scans (front and back). We retain only an anonymized hash corresponding to the information the identification document contains, in order to prevent identity theft and impostor accounts. No personally identifiable information from your identification document can be retrieved from the stored hash. In addition to the identification information, we ask for you to take a selfie. We retain the selfie to prevent the creation of impostor accounts, but we store them securely, in encrypted form.

Influencer / Creator Network Information

Unlike other platforms, REMNIES allows you to monetize your content, following, and goodwill. As part of that, the law requires us to collect certain pieces of personally identifiable information. Specifically, in addition to identification information (see above under “verification” for our collection and treatment of identifying information), we collect information on form W-9 as required by the IRS. We are required to do this in order to facilitate the receipt by you of payments earned on REMNIES. However, we store that information is secure, encrypted form. We never share it, sell it, or use it in any way other than for purposes of legal compliance.

Teacher: Teacher / Bible Worker / Pastor / Church Representative

As discussed above, we may give your Personal Data to the teachers for classes (“Teachers”) that you sign up for so that they can coordinate their classes. As part of our Terms of Use, REMNIES Teachers agree not to abuse other users' Personal Data. Abuse is defined as using Personal Data for any purpose other than those explicitly specified in the Teachers' Class. However, please understand that REMNIES Teachers are not our employees or consultants and that we are not party to any transaction between you and the Teacher. As a result, we cannot control their actions and cannot be held liable for any actions that they may take.

How We Share the Information We Collect

Vendors and Service Providers

We may share any information we receive with vendors and service providers retained in connection with the provision of our Services.

Content you Share

Our Services are social services that allow you to find, enjoy, and share content. Your display name, profile photo, about me section, and contacts (i.e., members you are following) will always be viewable and/or searchable by other Members. The content you post to our Services will be displayed and viewable by other Members by default.

Although this content is public by default, in the “Your Choices” section below, we describe the account settings and controls you can use to limit the sharing of certain information. We are not responsible for other Members’ use of available information, so you should carefully consider whether and what to post and how you identify yourself on our Services.

Marketing

We do not and will never rent, sell, or share information about you with non-affiliated third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless we have your affirmative express consent.

As Required By Law and Similar Disclosures

We may access, preserve, and disclose your information if we believe doing so is required or appropriate to:

  1. comply with law enforcement requests and legal processes, such as a court order or subpoena;
  2. respond to your requests; or
  3. protect your, our, or others’ rights, property, or safety. For the avoidance of doubt, the disclosure of your information may occur if you post any objectionable content on or through our Services.

Merger, Sale, or Other Asset Transfers

We may transfer your information to service providers, advisors, potential transactional partners, or other third parties in connection with the consideration, negotiation, or completion of a corporate transaction in which we are acquired by or merged with another company or we sell, liquidate, or transfer all or a portion of our assets.

The use of your information following any of these events will be governed by the provisions of this Privacy Policy in effect at the time of the acquisition or merger.

Consent

We may also disclose your information with your permission.

Your Choices

Sharing Preferences

We provide you with settings to allow you to set your sharing preferences for content you post to our Services. Certain information, such as your display name, may always be publicly available to others, and other information is made publicly available to others by default. To change whether certain information is publicly viewable, you can adjust the settings in your account.

Marketing Communications

We send you marketing communications consistent with your choices. You can unsubscribe from our promotional emails by adjusting your account settings or via the link provided in the emails. Even if you opt-out of receiving promotional messages from us, you will continue to receive administrative messages from us.

Notifications

You can opt-out of receiving notifications for posts, votes, comments, and followers by adjusting your profile and/or operating system (i.e., website, iOS, or Android) settings.

Third Parties

Our Services may contain links to other websites, products, or services that we do not own or operate. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. Please be aware that this Privacy Policy does not apply to your activities on these third-party services or any information you disclose to these third parties. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any information to them.

For example, any information you share with Google as a consequence of sharing or interacting with YouTube content on REMNIES is governed by Google's privacy policy. Google now provides users some control over the collection of data by its users and API Clients like REMNIES; Visit Google Permission for more information on revoking an API client's access to your data. Exercising such control may require having a Google account, which itself may be a privacy concern for some of our members. Therefore, members are encouraged to use REMNIES own native video capabilities (or the capabilities of other platforms equally respectful of member privacy) if they wish to avoid sharing data with Google. (A similar disclaimer applies to Rumble, an emerging competitor of Google-YouTube. When in doubt, consult the privacy policy of the entity responsible for facilitating the display of content on our Services, before choosing to interact with it, so you can make an informed decision about your privacy.)

Security

We make reasonable efforts to protect your information by using physical and electronic safeguards designed to improve the security of the information we maintain. However, as our Services are hosted electronically, we can make no absolute guarantees as to the security or privacy of your information.

Children

We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal information from children under 13 years of age, and no part of our Services is directed to children. If you learn that a child has provided us with personal information in violation of this Privacy Policy, then you may alert us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or CLICK HERE to submit your question.

International Transfers of Data

Our Services are hosted in the United States and intended for visitors located within the United States. If you choose to use our Services from the European Union or other regions of the world with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, then please note that you are transferring your personal information outside of those regions to the United States for storage and processing. By providing any information, including personal information, on or to our Services, you consent to such transfer, storage, and processing.

If we materially change the ways in which we use or share personal information previously collected from you through our Services, we will notify you through our Services, by email, or other communication.

Your California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, California law may provide you with additional rights regarding our use of your personal information.
