Privacy Policy

We are thankful to you for visiting Glyphosphate! 

All the privacy policies as we have enlisted below are regarding the info about all practices & choices that we have made with the help of this web-based platform. All these policies are highly applicable to all the websites that have linked to such policies directly. It is a humble request to read all the below-mentioned privacy policies that help you out to understand more and how to implement them. 

When you write a review on Glyphosatetaskforce or otherwise use our Website, we collect and process personal data about you. This document helps you understand what personal data we collect about you, how we collect it, what we use it for, and what rights you have regarding your personal data.

1 – Personal data – what we collect and what we use it for

1.1 Master data

When you create a profile or write your first review on the Website, we will automatically generate a personal account for you on Glyphosatetaskforce (“Account”) and collect the following personal data about you (the “Master Data”):

• Your username (this will be public),
• Your securely encrypted password,
• Your email address, and
• Your location and country (your country will be public)

This information is mandatory, which means that it will not be possible to write a review on the Website without it.

You can choose to add further personal data to your profile. The additional data you can add is your name, a profile description, photo, gender, city and language. This additional information will be public.

Glyphosatetaskforce is an open review platform and when we display your review we will connect it to your profile so that people can see who wrote the review and the number of reviews you have written. Therefore, please be aware that depending on the information you add to your profile and the username you choose, you may or may not be anonymous.

1.2 Information in reviews and ratings

When you write a review about a company, we collect the information you put in your review. This includes:

• Which company you review
• The type of buying or service experience your review concerns (see the definition of “Service Experience” in our Guidelines For Review)
• The headline and content of your review
• The location of your Service Experience
• Your rating of your Service Experience with the company (1-5 stars)
• Your rating of the Product (1-5 stars)
• The date of your review and, if you update your review, the date on which it is edited
• A reference number or order ID (if you or the company provides one)

If we ask you to provide information or documentation verifying your Service Experience and you send us such documentation, we will collect and process the documentation for the purpose(s) stated in the request.

Please don’t share any sensitive personal documents or information with us, either concerning yourself or others.

1.3 Information about views, likes and how useful your review is for others

When you write a review on our Website, people can show that they find your review useful, for example by “liking it”, and we collect this information. We also collect information about how many people read your review. We don’t track the identities of people who aren’t logged in and read the reviews, but we do collect data on the number of consumers who read your review. If you “like” another person’s review we will also collect that information.

1.4 Notifications

If you notify us about a review that you believe violates our User Guidelines, then we collect the information you provide in your notification to us. This can include which review you notified us about, the reason for your notification, the date of your notification, etc.

1.5 Information from other services, including social networks like Facebook

You can connect your Glyphosatetaskforce profile with your profile on social networks, e.g. Facebook (“Social Network(s)”). When you use this option we automatically collect selected information about you from your Social Networks. The information we collect depends on what information you have made available on those Social Networks and your privacy settings for sharing such information on the Social Networks. Depending on your settings and selection, we will collect the following information from your Social Networks:

• Name and/or username
• Email address
• Profile photo
• Who your social connections are

When you make a request to connect your Glyphosatetaskforce profile with a Social Network profile, you will be informed about which information we will collect from the Social Network in question. You will receive this information before your request is carried out.

You can choose to disconnect your Social Network profile from your Glyphosatetaskforce profile via your Account. At this point, Glyphosatetaskforce will remove your Social Network unique ID, and disconnect/revoke Glyphosatetaskforce from your Social Network. Your profile picture from your Social Network profile will remain on your Glyphosatetaskforce profile.

• Perform our contract with you.
• Comply with our legal obligations and operate an online review platform in compliance with applicable legal acts.

• For the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, where necessary.

Some of these grounds for processing your personal data overlap, so there may be several reasons which justify us processing your personal data.

In those limited circumstances where you have expressly given your consent to us to process your personal data, for example, when subscribing to our newsletters, you are free to revoke your consent at any time. However, please be aware that we may have the right to continue to process your information if it can be justified on one of the other legal bases mentioned above.

You have the right to object to how we process your personal data, or ask us to restrict the processing. Please see below, at 12, for more details.

If you would like more information about our legal basis for processing your personal data, please contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO) – see 14, below.

2 – Disclosure of personal data

2.1 Disclosure of personal data on the Website

We are an open review platform and we share your review on our Website so that others can read about your experience with a specific company. When you write a review, we will disclose your review, the number of reviews you have written, your username, your location (country) and other information you have chosen to connect with your public profile. Remember that if you have selected to use your name as your username, this can reveal your identity in full or in part – unless you use a pseudonym.

We recommend that you exercise care in deciding which information to make available for disclosing on the Website, and be aware that depending on the level of information provided, you may or may not be anonymous.

Master Data and other information

When you write a review on our Website and create an Account, your username, review, location (country) , the number of reviews you have written and other additional information you have chosen to connect with your public profile will be visible on the Website. The companies you review can also receive information about your review.

Geo-location

When you write a review on the Website, we use your computer’s IP address (see 1.7 of this Policy, above) to approximate your location to the nearest country. This information is made available to other users of the Website.

Reviews you found useful

When you find other reviews useful (by “liking” them), other users of our Website can see the review(s) you “liked”.

Social Networks

If you connect to a Social Network, information such as your profile photo, your name, birth year and approximate location will be collected from your Social Network profile and used to identify you on the Website. Subject to your privacy settings and the level of information available from the Social Network, users of the Website can use this information to identify which reviews you have written.

If you have chosen to preserve anonymity by using a pseudonym for your Glyphosatetaskforce username, be aware that information from Social Network(s) can reveal your identity in part or in full and make it possible to identify which reviews you have written.

If your contacts or friends (referred to as “Connections”) on the Social Network have also connected with Glyphosatetaskforce, we display on the Website how you are connected to these Connections through the Social Network. This is only visible to you. Other people on Glyphosatetaskforce cannot see your Connections from Social Networks.

2.2 Disclosure on services to which you connect your profile

If you choose to connect your Glyphosatetaskforce profile with your profile on a Social Network, information and reviews provided by you on the Website or data compiled by us about your use of the service on the Website (e.g. the number of reviews you have written) will be shared with and displayed in connection with your profile on the Social Network and will be subject to the privacy policy of the Social Network.

2.3 Disclosure to other services, websites and companies

One of Glyphosatetaskforce’s main goals is to increase the exposure and availability of reviews on the Website. We therefore permit other services to show reviews created on the Website. This increases the potential audience for your reviews.

The categories of third party services and companies who can show your review(s) together with your public user profile are:

• Search engines, including Google and Bing
• Companies reviewed on Glyphosatetaskforce
• Companies that have invited you to review a Product
• Consumer portals and business portals, including price comparison websites, shopping guides, etc.
• Application partners and platforms, such as Prestashop, Magento, Shopify, WooCommerce
• Other similar websites where, in Glyphosatetaskforce’s assessment, it will be relevant for users to search for reviews.
• Facebook, if your review has been shared on the Social Network

Once you submit your review, it is published on the Website. This means that the following information is disclosed:

• Your review(s), (see 1.2, above)
• Your username, location (country) and the additional data you choose to add to your profile, such as your name, a profile description, photo, gender, city and language.

If you write a review on Glyphosatetaskforce in response to an invitation sent by a company via our review invitation services, the company who sent you the invite will be able to link your review with the invitation.

If we need to verify your review, we will contact you and ask for documentation that shows that you have had a buying or service experience with the company you reviewed. We therefore recommend that you keep such documentation for 12 months from the date of your review. We explain the type of documentation you should send us here.

We do not share the documentation you send to us with the reviewed company. However, if you have a reference number or order ID, we may pass that on to the company, unless you ask us not to.
