Children and Minors.  The Services are not directed at children under the age of thirteen (13) and Trendmaven does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen (13). If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under the age thirteen (13), we will delete such information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under the age of thirteen (13) may have provided us personal information, please contact us at support@trendmaven.co. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that (i) you understand that you must be at least eighteen (18) years old in order to create an account and (ii) you are at least eighteen (18) years old or a minor over the age of thirteen (13) that has provided Trendmaven legal parental or guardian consent to use the Services under such parental or guardian supervision.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you use the Services, you may provide Trendmaven with two (2) main types of information (i) personally identifiable information that you knowingly choose to disclose, which is collected on an individual basis, and (ii) general user information that does not contain personally identifiable information, which is collected on an aggregate basis as you browse and use the Services. We collect information from you when you (a) use and/or access the Services, (b) register an account and/or subscribe to Trendmaven, (c) open and/or respond to our emails, (d) visit any page online that displays our content, and/or (e) contact Trendmaven.

Personally Identifiable Information you Choose to Provide

We may ask for certain personal information from you for the purpose of providing to you content and/or Services.  Such information will be shared in relation to the Services between Trendmaven and its users, such as ambassadors, businesses and brands.  Please do not provide any information that you do not want to share or do not feel comfortable providing. Please note that if you do not provide certain information, it may impact your use of the Services.  We collect personal information such as your (i) contact information (including without limitation your name, telephone number, email, address and social media handle), (ii) financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date, verification number, and billing address as submitted through our third-party payment processor), (iii) username and password (specifically chosen by you), (iv) demographic information (including age, birthdate and gender), (v) location information (such as geographic location of the device you are using), and (vi) preferences and behavior (such as record of reviews, comments, responses and questions asked).  In addition, we may receive information about you from other sources in the event you choose to sign up using a social network (such as TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, etc.). Once you register, you have opted in to receive electronic communications from Trendmaven. Trendmaven may also provide you with the opportunity to participate in surveys through the Services. If you participate, we will request certain personally identifiable information. Participation in surveys is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether to disclose such information.

Credit Card and Payment Information.  Please note that when your bank account information or credit card information is transmitted via the Services, it will be protected by encryption technology used by our third-party payment processor.  Trendmaven does not store credit card details and instead utilizes a third party to process payments made to Trendmaven. In connection with the processing of such payments, we do not retain any personally identifiable information or any financial information such as credit card numbers.  Rather, all such information is provided directly to our third-party payment processor and is then subject to and governed by such third-party payment processor’s privacy policy.
