Privacy Policy
Last Modified: July 24, 2019
Spontivly Inc. enables communities that have subscribed to our services to communicate events, offerings, and information that is relevant to community members directly to those community members
When you use these services, you’ll share some information with us. So we want to be upfront about the information we collect, how we use it, whom we share it with, and the controls we give you to access, update, and delete your information. If you are based in Canada or the US, then by using our services you are agreeing to our use of your personal information in the manner described below.
That’s why we’ve written this Privacy Policy. And it’s why we’ve tried to write it in a way that’s blissfully free of the legalese that often clouds these documents. Of course, if you still have questions about anything in our Privacy Policy, just contact us.
