The Guardians Program is both a membership program that people subscribe to in order to become Guardians, and is also the program that grants sponsored Plus memberships. This updated Privacy Policy applies to all users of The Guardians Program, and is part of our Guardians Terms of Service and also incorporates our broader Finch Privacy Policy.
Finch Care Public Benefit Corporation is a global company. By using our platform or participating in The Guardians Program, you agree that your personal information that you provide directly to us, or that we collect through your use of the platform, may be transferred to and stored in the United States and handled and used as described in this Policy.
This is information that you provide to us through text fields, such as your name, email address, Discord username, your Finch apps friend code, and payment information including state and country of residence.
A Guardian is someone who joined The Guardians Program with a membership subscription. As a Guardian you must provide your payment information to our payment processor Stripe. You can see the privacy policy for Stripe here on the Stripe site. At this time, we do not receive your full card number. Stripe provides us with a token that represents your account, your card’s expiration date, card type and the last four digits of your card number. If you are required to provide your name and email address to Stripe, then they also provide us with that information.
We collect and process information about the membership subscription you have, what benefits you receive and the term of the subscription. As a Guardian, if the membership subscription includes a physical benefit, we may ask you to provide your shipping information, including phone number, so that we can ship you the benefit, or provide updates related to the shipment.
This is information that you provide to us through text fields, such as your name, email address, Discord username, your Finch apps friend code, and payment information.
In order to receive a free Sponsored Plus membership, you will need to provide us information including your email address and your Finch apps friend code. We may also need your state and country of residence.
We collect information automatically as you navigate the site or through our third party analytics providers. We may store usage information such as the type of device you use to access our site or app, your operating system, browser type, IP address, and device ID, the pages you visit or request, links clicked, referring sites, user interactions and your search terms. We may also derive your location from your self-disclosed country, your IP address, and from your payment card.
When you participate in our community forums, we may collect the comments you make as well as record how many times users visit, the activity on the site, where users have replied, with whom they’ve communicated, private messages, IP address, and from which location the user was last logged in. We use ****Discord and Facebook to help us host and operate our community forums. This means that they may access your information to help provide the community forums. You can find their privacy policies hyperlinked above.
From time to time, we may solicit your participation in user surveys. We may ask you demographic information, including information related to your gender, ethnicity, race, age, sexual orientation, earnings, and accessibility to better understand and serve our user base which you may elect to share or not. We collect such information to ensure we provide fair and equal access to our services. To the extent that you participate, we will store your survey responses.
