Introduction

This Privacy Policy (our “Privacy Policy”) describes how Manta Cares, Inc. (“Manta Cares,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects and processes personal information about you through the use of www.mantacares.com and its subpages (collectively our “Website”) as well as through other electronic communications between you and Manta Cares,  our web and mobile applications, our marketing activities, and other activities described in this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”). This Privacy Policy also describes our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy

This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect: on our Website; our web and mobile applications; in email, text, and other electronic messages between you and our Website; when you interact with our advertising and applications on third-party websites and services, if those applications or advertising include links to this policy. It does not apply to information collected by: us offline or through any other means, including on any other website operated by us or any third-party; any third party, including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from or on the Website. As this Privacy Policy covers different aspects of our Services and our personal information practices vary depending upon the particular Service aspect with which you interact, not all disclosures contained in this Privacy Policy may be relevant to you.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Services. By accessing or using our Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy may change from time to time (see below under “Changes to Our Privacy Policy”). Your continued use of our Services after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check this Privacy Policy periodically for updates.

Information We Collect About You 

The nature of the information we collect about you depends on several factors. For example, if you interact with our Website in comparison to interacting with our web or mobile application, our personal data practices are different in relation to each aspect of the Service. In particular, Service users can choose much of the personal data that they provide to us as opposed to our requiring such data in order to provide our Service. This is particularly true around sensitive personal information below which may not apply in all circumstances. Please keep these concepts in mind as you engage with the Service and read this Privacy Policy.

We collect, or may collect, several types of information from and about you, specifically information:

  • Contact data, such as your first and last name, alias, signature, salutation, email address, billing and mailing addresses, and phone number.
  • Demographic data, such as your city, state, country of residence, postal code, gender, physical characteristics, income or income range, economic standing, and age.
  • Profile data, such as account name, the username and password that you may set to establish an online account on the Service, biographical details, photograph or picture, date of birth, interests, preferences, links to your profiles on social media networks, and any other information that you add to your account profile.
  • Transactional data, such as information relating to or needed to complete your orders on or through the Service, including order numbers and transaction history. This includes purchase considerations, consuming history and tendencies.
  • Payment data needed to complete transactions, including payment card information or bank account number. We use a third-party vendor to directly collect and process your payment card information, as described further below.
  • Communications data based on our exchanges with you, including when you contact us through the Service, communicate with us via email, phone, chat features (such as the Hope chatbot), social media, or otherwise.
  • Marketing data, such as your preferences for receiving our marketing communications and details about your engagement with them.
  • User-generated content data, such as any communications you send to other users through the Service as well as your comments, reviews, questions, relationships to other users, messages, photos and other content or information that you generate, transmit, or otherwise make available on the Service, including associated metadata. Metadata includes information on how, when, where and by whom a piece of content was collected and how that content has been formatted or edited. Metadata also includes information that users can add or can have added to their content, such as keywords, geographical or location information, and other similar data.
  • Call/video recordings, such as recordings of customer support calls.
  • Sensitive Personal Information, including racial, ethnic or national origin; religious or philosophical beliefs; political views; mental or physical health condition, diagnosis, history, treatment or other health data; pregnancy; sex life, sexuality or sexual orientation; status as transgender or non-binary; account login information; and financial information or account number.
  • Other data not specifically listed here, which we will use as described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise disclosed at the time of collection. 
  • Data about others. We collect information from caregivers about individuals with whom they have a relationship. We may offer features that help users invite their contacts to use the Service, and we may collect contact details about these invitees so we can deliver their invitations. Please do not refer someone to us, share contact details or otherwise provide information about an individual with us unless you have their permission to do so.
  • We refer to this information collectively as “Personal Data” or “personal information” or “information” in this Privacy Policy.

How We Collect Information About You

We collect Personal Data directly from you when you provide it to us, automatically as you navigate through the Website and from third parties, for example, our business partners.

The information we collect directly from you may include:

  • information that you provide by filling in forms on our Services. This includes information provided at the time of registering to use our Services, completing a questionnaire or form, or requesting further services. We may also ask you for information when you report a problem with our Services;
  • records and copies of your correspondence (including email addresses), if you contact us;
  • your responses to surveys that we might ask you to complete; and
  • details of transactions that may be tracked through our Services and of initiation of services. You may be required to provide financial information as part of initiation of services through our Services.

We may collect information about you through third-party sources which we may combine with information we receive from you. These third-party sources include:

  • Public sources, such as government agencies, public records, publicly accessible social media profiles, and other publicly available sources.
  • Data providers, such as information services, lead generators and cooperative databases.
  • Service providers that provide services on our behalf or help us operate the Services or our business.
  • Partners, such as joint marketing partners and event co-sponsors.
  • Ad networks
  • Data analytics providers
  • Social media platforms

We may also collect information about you, including Personal Data, automatically. For example, we may use this information to improve our Website and to deliver a better and more personalized service by enabling us to:

  • estimate our audience size and usage patterns;
  • verify your location to ensure we can provide you with our services;
  • store information about your preferences, allowing us to customize our Website according to your individual interests;
  • recognize you when you return to our Website.

The type of data that we collect automatically about you, your computer or your mobile device, and your interaction over time with the Services, our communications and other online services, such as:

  • Device data, such as your computer or mobile device’s operating system type and version, manufacturer and model, browser type, screen resolution, RAM and disk size, CPU usage, device type (e.g., phone, tablet), IP address, unique identifiers (including identifiers used for advertising purposes), language settings, mobile device carrier, radio/network information (e.g., Wi-Fi, LTE, 3G), and general location information such as city, state or geographic area. 
  • Communication interaction data such as your interactions with our email, text, chat or other communications (e.g., whether you open and/or forward emails) – we may do this through use of pixel tags (which are also known as clear GIFs), which may be embedded invisibly in our emails enabling us to detect if you have opened or forwarded a message.
  • Online activity data, such as pages or screens you viewed, search history, how long you spent on a page or screen, the website you visited before browsing to the Service, navigation paths between pages or screens, information about your activity on a page or screen, access times and duration of access, and whether you have opened our emails or clicked links within them.

  • Web Beacons.

  • Analytics Services. We may use analytics services to collect certain information relating to your use of the Website. Analytics services use “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the Website analyze how users use the site.
  • Chat technologies. We use chat technologies such as those provided by third parties that operate the chat features that you can use to communicate with us through the Service. These third parties may access and use personal information you share through online chats to respond to your questions and for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
  • Embedded content. We may offer embedded content, such as videos, in the Services.  Interacting with this embedded content may inform the third parties, such as the host of the embedded content, that you requested this content while using the Services, through web routing data transmitted automatically (including the “referrer” field in the HTTP request header).
