Residents of California: Your Choices
California’s “Shine the Light” law permits residents of California to request a notice disclosing: (1) the categories of PI we have shared with third parties, if any, for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes, during the preceding calendar year, and (2) the names and addresses of those third parties. We do not share your PI with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. To request more information about this, please contact us at privacy@gettr.com.

Data Security
We have implemented measures designed to secure your PI from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls. Any payment transactions and PI will be encrypted using SSL technology.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website or Apps, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Website or Apps like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Website or App. We cannot be responsible for unauthorized access to accounts gained through use of usernames and passwords obtained from the authorized user. If you suspect that your password has been compromised, you must contact us immediately, and in no event more than twenty-four (24) hours following your discovery of such incident.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your PI, we cannot guarantee the security of your PI transmitted through the Website or Apps. Any transmission of PI is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website or Apps.
Transfer of Personal Information to Other Countries
We may transfer the PI we collect about you to recipients in countries other than the country in which you originally provided it, including transferring it outside of the U.S. These countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you provided the information. When we transfer your information to recipients in other countries, we will protect that information as described in this Privacy Notice and will comply with applicable legal requirements providing adequate protection for the transfer of PI to recipients in countries other than the one in which you provided the information.
