Privacy Policy

Last updated January 9, 2024.

Ambassador Privacy Policy

AmbassCo, Inc. (“AmbassCo,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is an online venue where AmbassCo and other companies or groups (each a “Researcher”) share opportunities for individuals (each a “Ambassador” or “you”) to participate in online based research Projects and surveys (collectively, “Projects”). You understand that your Personal Data, including any data you provide, is processed by AmbassCo in the United States. As used in this Privacy Policy, “you” and “your” refer to you, as an Ambassador.

Introduction

This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) explains how we collect, use, disclose and transfer information collected from you, including information that we collect when you register as an Ambassador, and information that you submit Ambassador Profile Information (as defined above in the “Ambassador Profile Information”) or participate in Screeners and/or Projects (each, as defined below). This Privacy Policy does not cover any information collected at any other website or application. Please review this Privacy Policy carefully. If you, as a potential Ambassador, do not agree, you should not register to become an Ambassador.

1. What Information Do We Collect and From What Sources Do We Collect It?

Required Registration Information

You must complete our application and the onboarding process as outlined in your acceptance email in order to access the Project opportunities. Submitting Ambassador Profile Information requires you to provide at least a phone number, email, first name, last name, birthdate, state, (“Profile Information”).

Ambassador Profile Information

We may also infer data about you from your Project Entries, or from third party sources, and append that data to your Ambassador Profile. Optional information that you choose to provide may be considered Sensitive Data. “Sensitive Data” means information specifying racial or ethnic groups, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union memberships or information specifying the sex life of an individual. We process this information in accordance with applicable legal requirements. While it is optional to provide this additional profile information, it helps AmbassCo identify you for possible Projects, and therefore helps you have the best possible experience in our network. You may update, change or delete the additional profile information you provide through reaching out to us at any time. If you need help, you may contact jobs@ambassco.com and we will help you. The information described above is called “Ambassador Profile Information.” By filling out a screener to participate in a Project, you understand and acknowledge that AmbassCo and Researchers will be able to view and use Ambassador Profile Information as outlined in this Privacy Policy, which may allow AmbassCo to identify you.

Information Provided by You in Response to Projects and Screeners

If you participate in a Project, we will ask you to submit information, which may include photos, pre-recorded videos, screenshots, reviews, interviews, panel discussions, or answers to survey questions (collectively, “Project Entries”). Similarly, we sometimes send surveys (“Screeners”) to prospective Ambassadors for potential Projects that request additional information (“Screener Data”). You may or not be compensated for submitting Screener Data.

Participating in any Project or Screener is optional. However, when you submit any Project Entries or Screener Data, you understand and are allowing AmbassCo and the applicable Researcher to use such information, excluding your personal contact information, as described in this Privacy Policy, including for the Researcher’s own business purposes.

Payment and Tax Information

We collect PayPal, Venmo, or analogous account information in order to compensate you for Projects or Screeners. Ambassadors whose earnings exceed certain amounts may be required to provide updated address and social security details to allow AmbassCo Inc., Paypal, or similar parties to send you certain tax documentation.

2. How Do We Use the Information Collected?

We may use your information:

to process transactions or payments that you have requested or agreed to receive;
to process your registration as an Ambassador, including verifying your information;
to establish and conduct Projects on behalf of Researchers or AmbassCo, or Projects by Researchers, including to:
- provide Researchers with Project Data and certain Screener Data for Researchers to use for their own business purposes, pursuant to our contract with you (the Ambassador Terms and Conditions);
- search for you, determine if you qualify for, and contact you about participating in Screeners or Projects;
- analyze and synthesize research findings from Screener Data or Project Entries within a Project;
- Contact you regarding Project opportunities and reminders about Project processes
to analyze, enhance or improve our Project processes;
to customize your experience with Projects, or to provide you specific content that is most relevant to you;
to contact you (such as via email) and/or our policies;
to send offers and promotional materials related to the us;
for AmbassCo advertising, marketing, publicity and promotional activities;
for internal business purposes;
for other purposes disclosed at the time you provide your information;
to comply with any procedures, laws and regulations which apply to us, to comply with our legal obligations or, otherwise, where it is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of others;
for security and fraud detection purposes, including by detecting, protecting against, and prosecuting security incidents, fraud, and illegal activity, or
to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights where it is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of others.

We reserve the right to create and use anonymous information—information that cannot reasonably identify you or your device or as otherwise defined by applicable law—for any purpose and to disclose such information to third parties in our sole discretion.

3. How and When Do We Disclose Information to Third Parties?

Researchers

When you participate in and are subsequently compensated for participating in Projects, you agree to assign all right, title, and interest in all your Project Entries and related Screener Data, and certain Ambassador Profile Information, to AmbassCo and the applicable Researcher, and all such information belongs to AmbassCo and/or the applicable Researcher. You expressly consent to AmbassCo sharing certain Ambassador Screener Data and Project Entries with a Researcher, including any applicable Sensitive Data that you include in your Ambassador Profile Information. Researchers may be located in different United States jurisdictions with different data protection standards than where you reside. As an Ambassador, you can withdraw or modify your consent to our future collection, sharing and processing of your Ambassador Profile Information at any time, by reaching out to us and asking to adjust your profile data, or asking to remove your profile data by emailing jobs@ambassco.com.

We disclose certain Ambassador Profile Information, certain Screener Data, and all Project Entries to the applicable Researcher or Researchers for the Project. AmbassCo grants Researchers unlimited rights to use Project Entries and the disclosed Screener Data and disclosed Ambassador Profile Information for Ambassador applying for and/or participating in Projects for any business purposes (including research and marketing purposes), subject to applicable legal requirements and any restrictions set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Typically AmbassCo does not disclose your contact information to Researchers. At times certain Projects will prompt that you have to disclose your phone number and/or email address or to a Researcher if you participate in a Project that requires that information to identify you.

Service Providers

We may use service providers to perform certain services on our behalf, such as survey software to conduct screening surveys, google meet to conduct virtual interviews, etc. We may provide service vendors with access to certain of your information to carry out the services they are performing for us. Our service providers are not permitted to use your information other than for performing services for AmbassCo.

Administrative and Legal Reasons

We may access, use, preserve, transfer and disclose your information including disclosure to third parties: (i) to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, subpoenas, governmental requests or legal process if in our good faith opinion such is required or permitted by law, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements; (ii) to protect and/or defend our agreements with our users and our policies, including investigation of potential violations thereof; (iii) to protect the safety, rights, property or security of the AmbassCo or any third party; and/or (iv) to detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues. Such disclosures may be carried out without notice to you.

Business Transfer

We may disclose your information to our parent, subsidiaries and affiliates for internal reasons. We also reserve the right to disclose and transfer all such information: (i) to a subsequent owner, co-owner or operator of applicable databases; or (ii) in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, restructuring, the sale of substantially all of our equity and/or assets or other corporate change, including, during the course of any due diligence process.

User Generated Content

Project entries may request you to submit ideas, photographs, videos, writings, pictures, data, questions, comments, suggestions or other feedback.

With Your Consent

We disclose your information to third parties for any other purpose disclosed by us at the time you provide the information. If you consent to receiving information and/or marketing offers directly from third parties, your information will be disclosed to such third parties and subject to their privacy policies. You will need to contact any such third parties directly to opt out of communications from them.

4. Legal Basis for Use of Your Information

The legal basis for using your information as set out in this Privacy Policy is as follows:

As necessary to perform our obligations under our contract with you, such as to comply with the Ambassador Terms and Conditions between you and AmbassCo and to provide data to Researchers;
On the basis of implied or express consent, such as to process certain of your information or to send you certain information, including certain marketing communications; and/or
For our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of others, for example, to inform you about Projects for which you might qualify, to ensure the security of our website, operate our business and our website, respond to your questions, engage in certain marketing, make and receive payments, prevent fraud, conduct analysis, improve our process or services, enforce our legal terms, engage in a business change (e.g., sale, merger), and create anonymized data.

5. Rights and Choices

Accessing, Correcting and Deleting AmbasCo Data

You are responsible for the accuracy of the Screener data you submit to us. Except as described herein, Project screening surveys will allow you to update any personal Information at any time.

Financial Incentives

AmbassCo provides certain rewards, discounts, products, compensation, or other incentives for Ambassador’s to participate in Projects (and in some instances in Screeners), which involve the provision of personal information by Ambassadors to AmbassCo and to Researchers. When you participate in a Project, you agree to the terms of that Project (e.g., number of “feed” reactions). The specific incentive offered is made available to you when you decide to participate in a Project and varies depending on the Project. Participation in Projects and Screeners is completely voluntary. If you decide you don’t want to participate, you can refrain from submitting responses to a Project, and/or you can notify the AmbassCo team that you’d like to remove yourself via our contact jobs@ambassco.com.

Shine the Light Disclosure: Your California Privacy Rights

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits those who access the Service who are California residents to request and obtain from us a list of what Personal Information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. We do not provide your personal information (as defined by 1798.83) to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

5. Information Relating to Children Under the Age of 13

The service is not intended for use by children under 13 years of age. No one under the age of consent specific to that jurisdiction may open an account, and entering a false birthdate is a violation of AmbassCo’s Ambassador Terms and Conditions. We do not knowingly process information of those under the age of 13. If we learn that we have collected or received Personal Information from a child under 13 without parent or guardian consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information. If you believe that we might have any Personal Information from or about a child under 13 please contact us as provided in the “Contact Us” section below.

6. How Information Is Protected

We will take reasonable precautions to ensure that your personal information is kept private. We implement physical, technical, and administrative measures to protect your information stored within our databases, and we restrict access to such information to those employees who need access to perform their job functions, such as our customer service personnel and technical staff.

Despite these efforts, please note that we cannot 100% ensure or guarantee the security of your information. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors could compromise the security of your Information. As such, you acknowledge and accept that we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted through our services and that any such transmission is at your own risk.

7. Retention of Your Information by AmbassCo

We keep your information as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. The length of time depends on the purposes for which we collected and use it and/or as required to comply with applicable laws.
