Privacy Policy

Welcome to the web site socialsmart.tv, and any other web sites, applications, or services that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “SocialSmart Service"), which sites, applications or services are operated or produced by TaksimBilişim, Inc. (“TM SocialSmart”).

SocialSmart values the privacy of the users, publishers and others who visit and use the SocialSmart Service (collectively or individually, "You" or "Users") and wants you to be familiar with how we collect, use and disclose information from and about you.

By agreeing to this Privacy Policy in your SocialSmart account setup, or by using the SocialSmart Service, you expressly consent to the information handling practices described in this notice.

This Privacy Policy applies to SocialSmart collection and use of your personal information (i.e., information that identifies a specific person, such as full name, address, phone number, or email address). It also describes generally SocialSmart’s practices for handling non-personal information (for example, interests, demographics and services usage).

The Information SocialSmart Collects

User-provided Information: You may provide to SocialSmart what is generally called "personal information" in the USA and elsewhere or "personal data" in the European Union (such as your name, email address, postal mailing address, home/mobile telephone number, credit card number and billing information) if you register for a SocialSmart Service, or upload or download certain content or products from the SocialSmart Service, enter contests or sweepstakes, or otherwise use the features and functionality of the SocialSmart service.

"Automatically Collected" Information:
When you access the SocialSmart Service or open one of our HTML emails, we may automatically record certain information from your system by using cookies and other types of tracking tools. This "automatically collected" information may include Internet Protocol address (" IP Address "), a unique user ID, device type, device identifiers, browser types and language, referring and exit pages, platform type, version of software installed, system type, the content and pages that you access on the SocialSmart, the number of clicks, the amount of time spent on pages, the dates and times that you visit the SocialSmart, and other similar information. Depending on the law of your country of residence, your IP address may legally be considered personal information.

Information from Other Sources: We may obtain information, including personal information, from third parties and sources other than the SocialSmart, such as advertisers. We also may obtain information, including personal information, from third parties such as social media or social network platforms for which you have explicitly connected to the SocialSmart Service (e.g., information from YouTube using YouTube API Services, Twitch, Youtube, Smashcast, Mixer, or any other platform the SocialSmart Service connects with). When you access the SocialSmart Service through social media or social networks you are authorizing SocialSmart to collect, store and use such information and content in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may also obtain information from third parties such as social media or social network platforms regarding your use of such services, including information about your use of the content you choose to broadcast through the SocialSmart Service. Please refer to privacy policy of the social media or social network platforms you use with SocialSmart Service (for example to Google Privacy Policy for YouTube). If we combine or associate information from other sources with personal information that we collect through the SocialSmart Service, we will treat the combined information as personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

If you access your SocialSmart account through a third-party connection or log-in (like Google, Facebook, Apple, or LinkedIn), SocialSmart receives and stores information about your account from that service for authentication purposes. This information could include your email address, username, user ID associated with your account (for example, your Facebook UID), profile picture, and any other basic account info you've made publicly available. Additionally we may store your Facebook friends list and LinkedIn connections to recommend others to you or to recommend your account or content to others. You should always review and adjust your privacy settings on third-party services you have permitted to access your account, like GoogleFacebook or LinkedIn. You may also revoke the access to individual services by visiting a corresponding third party service page. If you unlink your third party account, we will no longer receive information collected about you in connection with that service, but you’ll be unable to access your SocialSmart account through that third-party service.

When SocialSmart Discloses Information

SocialSmart does not share your personal information with other organizations for their own marketing or promotional uses without your prior express consent.

SocialSmart may disclose Automatically Collected and other aggregate non-personal information with interested third parties to assist such parties in understanding the usage and demographic patterns for certain programs, content, services, advertisements, promotions, or other functionality of SocialSmart.

We may disclose both personal and non-personal information to service providers working on our behalf to: provide web site hosting, maintenance, and security services; fulfill orders; analyze data and create reports; offer certain functionality; and assist SocialSmart in improving the SocialSmart and creating new services features. We require that these parties process such information in compliance with this Privacy Policy, we authorize them to use the information only for the purposes for which it is provided to them, and we require these parties to use reasonable confidentiality measures.

SocialSmart may disclose User information if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with US state and federal laws (such as U.S. Copyright law) or other applicable laws around the world (for example, in the country of your residence); or respond to a court order, judicial or other government subpoena, or warrant in the manner legally required by the requesting entity.

SocialSmart also reserves the right to disclose User information that we believe, in good faith and after making reasonable inquiries, is appropriate or necessary to take precautions against liability to SocialSmart; protect SocialSmart from abusive, fraudulent, or unlawful uses; to investigate and defend ourselves against third-party claims or allegations to protect the security or integrity of the SocialSmart Service; or to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of SocialSmart, our Users, or others. We will notify you of these disclosures if we reasonably think we can do so legally and without harming the purpose of the disclosure.

How SocialSmart Uses Cookies

Like many other sites on the Internet, SocialSmart uses cookies—small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters. SocialSmart uses cookies and collects IP addresses and other automatically collected information in order to better facilitate the services provided to you, and to collect non-personal aggregate data for marketing and research purposes. If you accept the cookies used on our site, we may be able to identify your system by reading the cookie stored on your system, but we will not be able to identify you unless you’ve entered your personal information.

We may also allow third-party companies to serve ads and/or collect certain anonymous information from you when you visit our website or use our services.

Data Security

SocialSmart has strict security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of information under our control. We use secure technology, privacy protection controls, and restrictions on employee access in order to safeguard your information. While we take precautions to protect sensitive information that’s transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job, such as billing or customer service, are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/serves in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Please note that while we continually make every effort to implement safeguards to protect your personal information, the very nature of the Internet makes it impossible to guarantee the security of transmitted data. SocialSmart makes no warranties or representations as to the security and confidentiality of any data you transmit. Any data you transmit to SocialSmart is at your own risk, and we cannot guarantee that information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by any breach of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
