These terms for Applicants are a part of, and in addition to our terms of use, and apply to Applicants using Slenky. By using Slenky, you agree to these terms for Applicants and the terms of use governing your access to and use of Slenky as a user. Terms used in the terms of use shall have the same meaning in these terms for Applicants.

An applicant is a user who wishes to engage with a Brand and apply for a Shot.


Taking a Shot

If you have registered with Slenky as an individual user, you are entitled to create and submit applications for Shots on Slenky.

You are responsible for the creation of this content, and in doing so you understand that you are responsible for complying with all applicable laws and regulations, as well as these terms for Applicants, the terms of use and Community Rules. 

As a venue for users to discover Shots and interact with Brands, we have no control over the Shot and it is important that you understand that Slenky is not part of the Shot process which is between the Applicant and the Brand and that we assume no liability for the accuracy or content of brand pages or Shots.

In particular, you understand and acknowledge that:

§  Your application should be honest, complete and accurate,

§  You are applying and interacting directly with a Brand, Slenky is merely a venue to facilitate this,

§  We do not pre-screen Brands and therefore we do not endorse or guarantee the Shot,

§  Each Brand is responsible for the terms of the Shot and application process.


Warranties

In submitting an Application to a Shot via Slenky, you warrant that you shall comply with any applicable laws and regulations in using Slenky and in your dealings with Brands and other users.


Cancellation and Suspension

You may terminate your account at any time using the settings in your user profile or by emailing hello@slenky.com. On termination, your content will no longer be available to you.

We may take action to limit the visibility of your profile or any application or suspend access to Slenky in the event that we see unusual activity or where we reasonably believe that your activity may be in breach of these terms for Applicants, the user terms or Community Rules.

We may suspend or cancel your account and remove your access from Slenky at any time if you breach these terms for Applicants or the terms of use, or Community Rules.

Once your account has been cancelled, you will not be able to access your account on Slenky.


Liability

Our liability to you shall be as set out in the terms of use. Subject to the foregoing, our total liability to you for all other losses arising under or in connection with any contract between us, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall be limited to £100.


Data

We and Brands shall be separate and independent data controllers with regard to the processing of user personal data. Slenky will process personal data in accordance with our privacy policy (available PRIVACY POLICY); and Brands shall provide users with their privacy policy concerning how they will treat personal data in any application for a Shot.


Force Majeure

We try to make Slenky available at all times, but, of course, due to the inherent nature of online and internet-based services to fulfil part of the service, we cannot guarantee this. If Slenky is unavailable owing to an event outside our control, then we will contact you as soon as practicable to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to cancel your Subscription and receive a refund for the access you have paid for but not received.


Changes

The Version of these terms is v[X.X]; effective from [1.5.2021].

We may change these terms for Applicants from time to time and you should visit this page regularly to check the latest version of these terms for Applicants. Access and use by you of Slenky constitutes acceptance by you of the terms for Applicants in force at the time of use.

We may update and change the Slenky service or the app or site through which it is provided from time to time to reflect changes to the service and our users’ needs and our business. We shall endeavour to provide reasonable notice of major changes.


General

If any of these terms for Applicants are determined to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable by reason of the laws of any state or country in which these terms are intended to be effective, then to the extent and within the jurisdiction in which that term is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, it shall be severed and deleted from these terms and the remaining terms shall survive and continue to be binding and enforceable.

The failure or delay of Slenky to exercise or enforce any right in these terms for Applicants does not waive Slenky's right to enforce that right.

We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms for Applicants to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.

These terms for Applicants do not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchisee relationship between you and us.


Jurisdiction and Governing law

Slenky is aimed at persons residing in the United Kingdom. We do not represent that content available on or through Slenky is appropriate for use or available in other locations.

These terms for Applicants and your use of Slenky and the services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction in connection with all matters relating to these terms for Applicants.

 

PRIVACY POLICY

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, store, use, disclose and otherwise process your information when you use Slenky.com (together, the “Website”), our mobile and desktop apps (the “Apps”) and all related sites, players, widgets, tools, apps, data, software, APIs and other services provided by Slenky (the “Services”).

This Privacy Policy explains the following, amongst other things:

§  Our Privacy Principles

§  The Information We Collect

§  How We Use Your information

§  How We Share Your Information

§  Cookies and Similar Technology

§  Your Choices and Controls

§  Contact Information

Information relating to our use of cookies and similar technologies is set out in our Cookie Policy, which forms part of the Privacy Policy. When we refer to the Privacy Policy, we are referring to the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

Please take some time to read this Privacy Policy, including the Cookie Policy, along with our Terms of Use, in order to ensure you understand and are comfortable with our use and disclosure of your personal information. If you see an undefined term in this Privacy Policy, it has the same meaning given to it in our Terms of Use.

Please note that this Privacy Policy only applies to the Website, the Apps and the Services that we provide (together, the “Platform”). When using the Platform, you may find links to other websites, apps and services, or tools that enable you to share information with other websites, apps and services (including, without limitation Brands). Slenky is not responsible for the privacy practices of these other websites, apps and services and we recommend that you review the privacy policies of each of these websites, apps or services before connecting your Slenky account or sharing any personal data.

Both Slenky and Brands process users’ personal information (for example, name, email address) and are therefore considered separate and independent data controllers of users’ personal information under the laws of England and Wales. That means that each party is responsible for the personal information it processes in providing the Services.  An application to a Brand for a Shot shall be subject to the Brand’s privacy policy.

If you do not agree to any of the provisions of this Privacy Policy, you should not use the Platform. If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, you can contact us at hello@slenky.com.

§  If you are located outside the United Kingdom, Slenky is the Data Controller of your personal data provided to, or collected by or for, or processed in connection with, our Platform;


Our Privacy Principles

Information We Collect

All the personal information we collect is related to providing the Platform and its features and falls into three general categories:

§  Information you provide to us

§  Information collected automatically

§  Information we obtain from third parties


Information You Provide

We ask for and collect the below personal information when you use the Platform. This information is necessary for the adequate performance of the contract between you and us and to allow us to comply with our legal obligations.

We process this information in light of our legitimate interest in improving Slenky and giving our users the best experience, and where it is necessary for the adequate performance of the contract between us and you. Without it, we may not be able to provide you with all the requested services and features of the Platform.

You don’t need to register for a Slenky account in order to visit or use our Platform. However, certain Services require that you register for an account and, by doing so, you will need to provide us with certain information:

§  Account Information - When you register any kind of Slenky account, you will need to provide your email address (except when you sign-up with Facebook, Twitter or Google and don’t give your permission to share it with Slenky), your age, gender, postal code and choose a password.

§  Profile Information - you may choose to provide additional information for your user profile on Slenky – for example:

-       information about how you categorize yourself with respect to your passions and interests (for example, whether you are into fashion, technology, sport etc.);

-       a photo.

§  Shot Information – information that a Brand mandate to be provided in an application for a Shot. This information is subject to the Brand’s Privacy Policy.

§  Communications - When you communicate with Slenky by email or through the Platform, or use the Platform to communicate with Shot providers, we collect information about your communication and any information you choose to provide.

§  Survey Information - If you participate in any survey, you may provide certain personal data as part of your response, unless you respond anonymously.


Information We Collect Automatically

There is certain information that we collect automatically as the result of your use of the Platform, or through the use of cookies and other web analytics services as described in our Cookie Policy. This information generally includes:

§  Usage Information - We collect information about your interactions with the Platform, including the pages that you visit and links you click on, connecting your Facebook or Google+ account, sharing a shot with another user, following or unfollowing a brand, performing a search, the time, frequency and duration of your visits to the Platform, and whether you interact with email messages, for example, if you opened, clicked on, or forwarded the email message.

§  Log Data – We automatically collect log information when you use the Platform, even if you have not registered for an account or logged in. That information includes, among other things: details about how you’ve used the Platform (including links to third party sites or social accounts), Internet Protocol (IP) address, access times, your browser type and operating system, device information, device event information (e.g., crashes, browser type), and the page you’ve viewed or engaged with before or after using the Platform.

§  Cookies – We use cookies and other similar technologies, such as pixels, local storage, and mobile device identifiers and may also allow our business partners to use these tracking technologies on the Platform, or engage others to track your behaviour on our behalf.

§  Location Data – When you use certain features of the Platform, we may collect data about your general location (e.g. IP address). We use this data to provide you with location-based services (such as local shots or events and personalized content). Most mobile devices allow you to control or disable the use of location services for applications in the device’s settings.

§  Device Information – We collect information from and about the devices you use, including how you interact with the Platform and information about device itself, such as the hardware model, operating system, IP addresses, cookie information, device settings, mobile device and identifiers, apps installed, browser type, language, battery level and time zone. This information allows us to recognize and associate your activity, and provide personalized content, consistently across all of your devices.

§  Software Development Kits – We may use third parties including our business partners and service providers who use mobile SDKs to collect information and information related to how mobile devices interact with the Platform. An SDK is computer code that app developers can include in their apps to enable ads to be shown, data to be collected and related services and functionality to be implemented. A mobile SDK is in effect the mobile app version of a pixel tag or beacon. We may use this technology, for instance, to analyse how you interact with content and to enable analytics or other features through mobile devices.

§  Slenky Widget – Other websites may integrate Slenky widgets; when you visit a website with a Slenky widget embedded, we may receive certain information, including information about the website you visited. Slenky and the widget may be able to recognize you, and in some cases the widget may be used to show personalized content. We know when you interact with a widget, and websites containing the widgets may receive this information as well.

§  Service Providers and Business Partners – We may also receive information about you from our service providers and business partners, including companies that provide Shots, assist with analytics, data processing and management (e.g. to measure ad quality and responses to content, and to display content that is more likely to be relevant to you) account management, hosting, customer and technical support, and other services which we use to personalize your Slenky experience such as surveys. We explain in more detail why and how we use this information below.


How We Use Your Information

We use the personal information we collect from you, including with the help of automated systems and decision making, for a range of different business purposes according to different legal bases of processing and subject to the choices you make in your Settings.

§  Provide, Improve, and Develop the Platform

-       To operate and maintain your Slenky account, and to provide you with access to and use of the Platform. Your email address and password are used to identify you when you log into the Platform. Your device-IDs are used to ensure that you are in control of the devices that have access to your account.

-       To identify you as the originator of Shot applications, content shares and/or other contributions that you make to the Platform.

-       To provide Shot providers with stats and insights about users’ responses to their Shot and content.

-       We conduct surveys and research, test features in development, and analyse the information we have to evaluate and improve products and services, develop new features, and conduct audits and troubleshooting activities.

-       Your email will be used to send you service updates and notifications about your account.

-       To respond to you about any comment or enquiry you have submitted.

-       We use your age to enable age restrictions.

 

§  Maintain a Safe and Secure Environment

-        Detect and prevent fraud, spam, abuse, security incidents, and suspicious activity.

-        Verify and authenticate your identity and prevent unauthorized or illegal activity.

-        Enhance the safety and security of our products and services.

-        Conduct security investigations and risk assessments.

-        To prevent or take action against activities that are, or may be, in breach of our Terms of Use, Community Guidelines or applicable law.

§  Personalize Content and Marketing

-        To improve your experience on the Platform by providing personalized content, recommendations, and features.

-        To customize the content and measure performance of any email, push notification, or in-app message we may send to you.

-        Use automated systems and decision making to profile user characteristics and infer preferences based on information that you provide to us, your interactions with the Platform and content, your profile information, and information obtained from third parties. This data is used to create groups of users, called segments, who share similar characteristics and interests; we use segments to serve personalized content, advertising, and marketing messages. We also use automated systems to associate your activity over time across devices and may associate activity and accounts under a single user ID, in order to determine that certain devices are related to each other and provide you with a personalized experience across devices and platforms.

-        To deliver targeted marketing for Slenky on and off the Platform and measure the success of those campaigns. When you see Slenky advertising on a third-party website or apps, we or third-party services we engage for this purpose, may collect information that your browser or mobile app makes available when seeing the advert (e.g. IP address, referral URL, browser details, timestamp of request). Please see the privacy policy of such third-party websites to understand what data may be collected and how to opt-out.

-        Shots are more effective when they are shown to people who are likely to be interested. For this reason, we use the information we collect and receive to help us select which shots to show you. This includes information you choose to provide to us (e.g. age and gender) and make available to us when you interact with the Platform, as well as general location data.

-        When we engage third party services such as ad-networks and exchanges that enable us showing you targeted ads, we may also allow them to collect certain information such as cookie data and device identifiers. That information is used to synch or match users to segments and serve targeted advertising, including based on device activity, inferred interests, and general location information.

We process this information in light of our legitimate interest in improving the Platform and giving our users the best experience, and where it is necessary for the adequate performance of the contract with you (e.g., Terms of Use).

Sharing of Your Information

This section describes how the information collected or generated through your use of the Platform may be shared by you or by us.

§  Through Your Profile – No information in your public profile will be accessible by other users of the Platform. If you view or Take a Shot at any uploaded content, the fact that you have viewed that content will be shared with that Shot provider so that they can track the relevance of their content.

§  With Your Consent – When you apply for Shots we will disclose your information to the Shot provider. We will make this clear to you at the point at which we collect your information, including the purpose(s) for which we will use the data.

§  Service Providers – We use a variety of third-party service providers, some of who may be located outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), to provide services to us or to our users on our behalf. These service providers have access to your information solely to perform these tasks on our behalf, and are contractually bound to implement appropriate organizational and technical security measures to protect against unauthorized disclosure of personal data, and only to process personal data in accordance with our instructions and to the extent necessary to provide their services to us. We need to share your information, including personal information, in order to ensure the adequate performance of our contract with you.

§  Content Partners – The Platform allows you to view to a variety of content from our content partners. We share information with these partners to help them understand how the content they provide is performing, including insights about general user trends and preferences. We use technical measures to ensure the data is de-identified and/or aggregated so it does not identify you directly. We share this data based on our legitimate interest in helping partners deliver highly relevant content and to ensure the fulfilment of our contract with those partners.

§  Social Media – For users outside of the EU/EEA, where permissible under applicable law, we may share your email address (in hashed form, so that it does not identify you) with Facebook in order to target you with Slenky adverts on Facebook and on third party websites and applications in the Facebook Audience Network. We also allow Facebook and other social media platforms to collect information through cookies and similar technologies like pixels in order to serve adverts for Slenky on those third-party websites and apps and drive users to our Platform. In order to measure the effectiveness of and optimize these marketing campaigns, these technologies track activity taken across devices after a user sees a Slenky advert, in order to determine performance metrics like sign ups and visits to the Platform. We undertake these activities based on our legitimate interest in acquiring new customers and offering Shots we think you may be interested in. Any questions regarding how these social media platform service provider processes your personal data should be directed to such third-party platform.

§  Aggregated Data – We may also share aggregated information (information about our users that we render in such a way that it no longer identifies or references an individual user) and other pseudologized information for regulatory compliance, industry and market analysis, demographic profiling, marketing and advertising, and other business purposes.

§  API Integrations – Slenky has an open application-programming interface (API), which enables application developers to integrate elements of the Platform into other apps. Some of these developers may be located outside of the EEA.

§  Third Party Applications – If you choose to connect your Slenky account to other apps or social networks such as Facebook and Google+ you may be sharing certain information with these apps or networks. Content that you share with Facebook will appear on your timeline and in your Facebook friends’ newsfeeds. Content you share with Google will be seen by the people from your Google+ circles when they visit your Google+ profile, make relevant Google searches, on Google-served ads, and the services selected in your Google account settings. In the case of connected apps, you will need to provide the app developer with full access to your Slenky account. Slenky is not responsible for these other apps or networks, so please make sure you only connect your account with apps or services that you trust. If you do not want this information shared with Facebook or Google, please change your Slenky Settings or in those networks.

§  Compliance with Laws – We may disclose your information to courts, law enforcement agencies, and governmental authorities (i) to comply with our legal obligations, (ii) to comply with legal process and to respond to claims asserted against Slenky, (iii) to respond to verified requests relating to a criminal investigation or alleged or suspected illegal activity or any other activity that may expose us, you, or any other of our users to legal liability, (iv) to enforce and administer our Terms of Use and other agreements with users, or (v) to protect the rights, property or personal safety of Slenky, its employees, and members of the public.

§  Protecting our Rights – We may disclose your information if we feel this is necessary in order to protect or defend our legitimate rights and interests, or those of our users, employees, directors, officers, or shareholders, and/or to ensure the safety and security of the Platform and/or the Slenky community.

§  To Our Affiliates – To enable and support us in providing the Platform and Services, we may share your information, including personal information, within the Slenky Group. The data sharing is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and us and is based on our legitimate interests in providing the Platform.

§  Change of Control – We may also share your personal data as part of a sale, merger or change in control of Slenky, or in preparation for any of these events. Any other entity that buys us or part of our business will have the right to continue to use your data, but only in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy unless you agree otherwise.
