Privacy Policy
Important legal notice - All information on this website is subject to the following disclaimer, copyright notice and U.S. federal and state statutes and regulations related to personal data protection.
Disclaimer
This website, SocialPoint.me, is owned by SocialPoint Inc. The purpose of this website and the corresponding mobile application is to allow users to aggregate, filter, customize and interact with various social media newsfeeds from one website and/or mobile application.
SocialPoint links to external sites over which we have no control and for which we assume no responsibility;
1. Your personal information from those external sites is protected under the same privacy policy that is in effect on each site that you connect through SocialPoint.Me. None of social media sites that offer connectivity through SocialPoint.Me or its mobile app share any of your personal information with SocialPoint.me. They merely transfer to us a “token” which allows us to display your newsfeed. We do not have access to, and therefore we cannot store, any of your personal information, on SocialPoint servers.
2. If you register through our own SocialPoint registration, rather than Facebook Connect, we only store your login credentials.
Certain data or information on our website and mobile app may have been created in files or formats that are not error-free and we cannot guarantee that our service will not be interrupted or otherwise affected by such problems. We accept no responsibility with regard to such problems incurred as a result of using this website or any linked external websites.
Our websites may contain links to websites operated and maintained by third parties, over which we have no control. Privacy policies on such linked websites may be different from our privacy policy. Members and visitors access such linked websites at their own risk. Always read the privacy policy of a linked website before disclosing any personal information on such site.
It is the goal of SocialPoint.Me to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons, and in particular their property rights in all forms of their personal data.
This disclaimer is not intended to limit the liability of SocialPoint.Me in contravention of any requirements laid down in applicable national laws or to exclude its liability for matters which may not be excluded under that law.

Section 1 - Summary of privacy policy and data handling
It's very simple. The limited data collected and stored by SocialPoint.Me is your data, provided by you and it will be vigorously protected. You have property rights in your data and you will determine how it is used. Your information, to the very limited extent that we collect it, is stored in a secure database, to which you have access for review or updates. In addition, the website recognizes and uses as our standard the Federal Trade Commission five core principles of privacy protection protection: (1) Notice/Awareness; (2) Choice/Consent; (3) Access/Participation; (4) Integrity/Security; and (5) Enforcement/Redress. SocialPoint.Me also follows the requirements and recommendations of the European Union Directive on privacy and data security. SocialPoint.Me is committed to protecting your privacy and to developing technology that gives you the most powerful and secure online experience.
Collecting your personal information
The primary data collection method is establishing an account and providing a username and password if you choose to use the SocialPoint.Me login rather than Facebook Connect.
During registration the service assigns a personal identification number and sends it to your computer in the form of a small text file, called a "cookie." The use of this cookie allows you to use our services in the future without having to type in all your information. We do not transfer any information or allow any information to be transferred between websites or to be transmitted to any clients or advertisers without your express agreement.
Use of your personal information
We use your personal information for the following primary purpose. We do not transmit member data to anyone for any purpose. As your agent, we are not allowed to share any of your information without your express permission.
Uses may include:
1. To make the website easier to use by not making you enter your personal information more than once.
2. To help you locate services or information on our website and alert you to new services.
Agent – principal relationship
The relationship between SocialPoint.Me and the member is one of agent-principal. The member expressly appoints the company as his/her general agent to represent the member in gathering newsfeed information from various social media websites expressly chosen by the member.
Data security and backup architectures are mission critical to the collection, maintenance and use of consumer data at SocialPoint.Me. Legacy system security software and procedures such as RACF, firewalls, off-site storage, redundancy and SSL encryption are utilized. Internal security is established using authentication and security levels and access. Separate server platforms and procedures have been established for development.
Section 2 - General procedures and administration of privacy practices
This privacy policy will be administered in accordance with the promises made on this website and with the company's duties as an agent for the member. Data is owned by the member but placed in our care to facilitate display of the member’s social media newsfeeds. Any changes to this privacy policy will be noted on the home page. The policy itself will show the new date of publication.
The data we store is protected using SSL encryption of data transmissions and of the data within the member's data record. Inquiries on this policy or other privacy related questions can be sent to us at support@socialpoint.me.
