Welcome to the service provided by Sidekicks Inc. ("Sidekick", "Sidekicks", "Avocado", "Take a note, Avocado", "Schedule it, Avocado", "When Am I Free, Avocado", "Avocado, Remind Me", "Bounce", "Bounce VM", "we", "us" and/or "our"). This Privacy Policy has been created to provide information about our company, our website, our mobile applications and the services we provide (collectively the “Services”) to our visitors and users (“you” and/or “your”). This Privacy Policy sets forth Sidekicks' policy with respect to information, including personally identifiable data (“Personal Data”) and other information, that is collected from visitors and users of the Services.
When you interact with us through the Services, we may collect Personal Data and other information from you, as further described below: Personal Data That You Provide Through the Services: We collect Personal Data and other information from you when you voluntarily provide such information or grant access to information (like your calendar), the voicemails and messages others may leave for you, such as when you contact us with inquiries, respond to one of our surveys, register for access to the Services or use certain Services. Additionally, if you choose to connect third party accounts, like for your email or your calendar, we collect information on your behalf for use in connection with the Services. Wherever Sidekicks collects Personal Data we make an effort to provide a link to this Privacy Policy. We also automatically collect certain information when you use the Services, such as your location/GPS coordinates, a device identifier (but not the UDID), Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system and your activity on the Services. This information is treated as Personal Data if it is combined with or linked to any of the Personal Data mentioned above. By voluntarily providing us with Personal Data, you are consenting to our use of it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Data via the Services, you acknowledge and agree that such Personal Data may be transferred from your current location to the offices and servers of Sidekicks and the authorized third parties referred to herein located in the United States.
Non-Identifiable Data: When you interact with Sidekicks through the Services, we receive and store certain personally non-identifiable information. Such information, which is collected passively using various technologies, cannot presently be used to specifically identify you. Sidekicks may store such information itself or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by Sidekicks’s affiliates, agents or service providers. The Services may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of users of our Services, the number of visitors to each page of our website and the domain names of our visitors’ Internet service providers. It is important to note that no Personal Data is available or used in this process. Aggregated Personal Data: In an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of the Services, Sidekicks often conducts research on its user demographics, interests and behavior based on the Personal Data and other information provided to us. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis, and Sidekicks may share this aggregate data with its affiliates, agents and business partners. This aggregate information does not identify you personally. Sidekicks may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.
Sidekicks uses the Personal Data you provide in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Data for a certain reason, we may use the Personal Data in connection with the reason for which it was provided. For instance, if you contact us by e-mail, we will use the Personal Data you provide to answer your question or resolve your problem. Also, if you provide Personal Data in order to obtain access to the Services, we will use your Personal Data to provide you with access to such services and to monitor your use of such services. Sidekicks and its subsidiaries and affiliates (the Sidekicks Related Companies”) may also use your Personal Data and other personally non-identifiable information collected through the Services to help us improve the content and functionality of the Services, to better understand our users and to improve the Sidekicks Services. Sidekicks and Sidekicks Related Companies may use this information to contact you in the future to tell you about services we believe will be of interest to you. If we do so, each communication we send you will contain instructions permitting you to “opt-out” of receiving future communications. In addition, if at any time you wish not to receive any future communications or you wish to have your name deleted from our mailing lists, please contact us as indicated below. If Sidekicks intends on using any Personal Data in any manner that is not consistent with this Privacy Policy, you will be informed of such anticipated use prior to or at the time at which the Personal Data is collected.
Sidekicks is not in the business of selling your information. We consider this information to be a vital part of our relationship with you. There are, however, certain circumstances in which we may share your Personal Data with certain third parties without further notice to you, as set forth below: Service Providers: We will share your Personal Data with service providers who are working with us in connection with the operation of the Services (these service providers have access to your Personal Data only to perform services on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose it or use it for any other purposes). Business Transfers: As we develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event, Personal Data may be part of the transferred assets. Related Companies: We may also share your Personal Data with Sidekicks Related Companies for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy. Agents, Consultants and Related Third Parties: Sidekicks, like many businesses, sometimes hires other companies to perform certain business-related functions. Examples of such functions include mailing information, maintaining databases and processing payments. When we employ another company to perform a function of this nature, we only provide them with the information that they need to perform their specific function. Legal Requirements: Sidekicks may disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation, (ii) protect and defend the rights or property of Sidekicks, (iii) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Services or the public, or (iv) protect against legal liability. We are not responsible for the actions of service providers or other third parties, nor are we responsible for any additional information you provide directly to any third parties.
You can visit the Services without providing any Personal Data. If you choose not to provide any Personal Data, you may not be able to use certain Sidekicks Services. Sidekicks supports "Do not track"(DNT) signals for visits to our website. Our goal is to create an informative site for you to learn about our product(s).

This Privacy Policy applies only to the Services. The Services may contain links to other web sites not operated or controlled by Sidekicks (the “Third Party Sites”). The policies and procedures we described here do not apply to the Third Party Sites. The links from the Services do not imply that Sidekicks endorses or has reviewed the Third Party Sites. We suggest contacting those sites directly for information on their privacy policies.
