What we do with the information you provide us, and why we need it.
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. There are many ways you can use our services – to share information, to communicate with other people, to store historic data or to create new content. When you share information with us, for example by creating an account with us, we can make those services even better – to help you connect with people or to make sharing with others quicker and easier. As you use our services, we want you to be clear how we are using information and the ways in which you can protect your privacy. Where our processing of your information is covered by the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”) – Your Rights – apply to you. We won’t sell or give away your name, mail address, phone number, email address or any other information to anyone.

What information we collect and why we collect it. How we use that information. The choices we offer, including how to access and update information. We’ve tried to keep it as simple as possible, but if you’re not familiar with terms like cookies, IP addresses and browsers, then read about these key terms first. Your privacy matters to us; whether you are new to 1Guava or a long-time customer, please do take the time to get to know our practices – and if you have any questions, contact us.

Our goal is to be clear about what information we collect, so that you can make meaningful choices about how it is used and control who you share information with. By providing personal information to us, you consent to us collecting, holding, using and disclosing your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You do not have to provide personal information to us, however, if you do not, it may affect your use of this Site or the products and/or services offered on or through it. You may also set your browser to block all cookies, including cookies associated with our services, or to indicate when a cookie is being set by us.

We use your Personal Information for four primary purposes: To make the site easier for you to use by not having to enter information more than once.

If other users already have your email, or other information that identifies you, we may show them your publicly visible 1Guava profile information, such as your name and photo; when you contact us, to keep a record of your communication to help solve any issues you might be facing. We may use your email address to inform you about our services, such as letting you know about upcoming changes or improvements; from cookies and other technologies, to improve your user experience and the overall quality of our services; to combine information from one service, including personal information, into other 1Guava services – for example to make it easier to share things with people you know; as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy.
