When you use Tise or other of our Services, you give us access to information about you. In this document we will elaborate on what data we collect about you, why we collect it, how it is used, and on what legal basis the collection is made.
The prime purpose of collecting your data is to deliver and improve your experience on Tise. Whether we’re enabling you to chat with sellers and buyers, or collaborating with payment and shipping vendors to enable direct payments or shipping solutions through our services, our aim is for you to shop as effortlessly as possible.
The data is further used to reduce misuse of the Service, analyse and understand market trends and to offer relevant advertising adjusted to your interest and usage patterns.
In this privacy policy we will cover:
When you use our Services, we collect the following types of information:
Information you provide to usAccount informationSome information is required to create an account on our Services. Depending on the sign-up method of your choice this can be your name, email address, username, phone number and connection to Facebook or Apple. This is the only information you have to provide to create an account with us.
Information from Third-party servicesWhen you sign up as a user by linking your Facebook account or Apple ID you share a reference to the chosen provider. Depending on the method selected you may also share your name, email address, profile picture, language and friend list. You can stop sharing the information from the third-party service by removing our access to that service at any time.
You can also give us access to personal data when you create or add information to your listings, in the messages you send with Customer Support or other users, or in reviews you give us or other users.
Card and bank informationSome features on Tise enable transactions between you and us or you and other Tise users. If you activate these features you must provide certain information for identification and verification, such as your name, address, date of birth, card number, bank account IBAN number, card expiration date, and CVV code.
This information is stored with a third-party, Stripe, which handles payments for Tise. The information is encrypted and sent to the card network, which if approved returns a token which is a random string of characters that is used for engaging in transactions without exposing your card information.
Tise does not store this information on our servers, we only store references to the information stored with Stripe. You can remove the tokens from your account from the account settings or by deleting your account. Note that third-party payment processors may retain this information in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms, or as required by law. Stripe’s full privacy policy and terms are available here.
Additional informationTo help improve your experience or enable certain features of the Services you may choose to provide us with additional information such as your phone number, address, date of birth, banking information or other information you provide to our Customer Support if you require assistance.
You may also connect with friends on the Services or invite friends who have not yet joined by providing their email addresses or by accessing social media accounts.
If you participate in a survey, contest or promotion we store the information you submit, which may include your name, contact information and message.
Information we collect automaticallyWhen you visit tise.com (or other pages we use) or use our apps we use different technologies to provide you with the best possible experience and functionality.
What technology you useWe automatically collect information about what technology you use - i.e. your device, your browser, IP address, network operator and so forth. The data collected varies depending on the device you use.
How you use our ServicesWe use different internal and third party tools to measure how you interact with our Services. For instance what items you click on, what items you like, who you follow, how often and the last time you used our Services, and if and where the application crashes for you and what advertising we have shown you.
Location informationWe automatically register information about where you are when you accept location access in our apps or by using the location you select. We may also derive your approximate location from your IP address.
How we use personal dataWe use the data we collect to provide you with the Products and Services we offer and to honor our Terms of Service agreement with you. This includes using data to improve and personalise your experiences. We also use data to communicate with you, for example to inform you about your account, new products or services, updates to these terms and other types of updates.
Tise uses personal data for the following purposes:
Providing our product to youWe use personal data to deliver the product you expect from us. For instance we need your name to show your profile and your email to get in touch with you to communicate important events, such if a payout fails.
Product improvementWe continuously use data for research purposes and to develop and improve our offerings. We analyse statistics collected from large user segments to understand how people use Tise and how we can improve further. This includes using error reports to improve security and features of the clients, using search queries and clicks to improve the relevance of search results and using usage data to determine what new features to prioritise.
These third parties include:
We use Google Analytics and Google Analytics Advertising features to understand how our user audience breaks down by Age, Gender, and Interests. This information is fully anonymous, but if you not accept to share this information you can opt-out by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or refrain from using the service.
Adapt Tise to you and your interestsWe try to make Tise as interesting and relevant for you as possible. For instance, we can show you collections of listings that we believe are relevant for you based on your location and profile. We can also show listings that are similar to those you have liked or searched for previously, and get recommendations based on what other users similar to you have liked.
Communicate with youWe use the data we collect to deliver and personalise our communications with you. For example, we may contact you by email or other means of electronic communication (e.g. SMS, push notifications or Facebook Messenger), including through the Tise app to inform you about new Tise Products or Services, update you on a support issue, security or software updates, or invite you to take part in a survey.
We use data to respond to customer enquiries, diagnose technical issues and provide customer care and support services.
We want to show content and advertising that is as relevant as possible for you, and we measure how well we do. Therefore we use information about you collected from our Services to show you Tise content and advertisements from our partners. You can be shown Tise content adapted to you also outside of the Tise apps and websites.
We do not share information that can identify you without your explicit consent.
This processing is necessary for the performance of the agreement we have with you and our legitimate interest. You can opt-out of receiving direct marketing communications from Tise by following the instructions sent in every such email or access it from the Privacy settings and/or notification settings accessible in the Tise application. We will not send you promotional emails once you unsubscribe, but please note that you cannot opt-out of communications related to changes in terms of service and policies, security updates or other important information related to your Tise account.
Build a safe and efficient marketplaceWe believe it is important to know who you are about to trade with and show some of your personal information on your Tise profile and listing. This includes your name, profile picture and address. You can select the granularity of your address when you browse and add items for sale.
It is important to us to keep Tise a safe place to buy and sell second hand treasures. We do everything we can to avoid unwanted or criminal activity on the marketplace, with both visible and hidden measures. In order to facilitate this we store and utilise some information, including IP-addresses, email-addresses, message history and other personal data collected. This processing is necessary for the performance of the agreement we have with you.
We use cookies or similar technologies for the purposes described above. Please read our Cookie Policy for more information about cookies.
How your information is shared with othersWe do not share your personal information except in the limited circumstances described below. However, we may share non-personal information that is aggregated or de-identified so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual. We may disclose such information publicly, to third-parties and to partners, for example in public reports about second hand and as part of community benchmarking.
For external processingTise uses third-party vendors to perform some or parts of our Services. This includes credit card and bank account processing, online product purchasing and shipping. We only share your personal data as necessary to fulfil our agreement with you as described in this Privacy policy and our Terms of Use.
