Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise share the personal information that we collect with third parties, unless you ask or authorize us to do so. However, there are occasions where we may need to disclose your personal information.

Where we do so, any such disclosure will be on the basis that these third parties are required to keep the information we give them confidential and secure and will not use it for any other purpose than to carry out the services they are performing for us. We may disclose personal information as follows:

  • to affiliated companies (e.g., subsidiaries and other companies owned by or controlled by smukme);
  • to service providers that are hired by us to provide administrative and communication services on our behalf, such as website hosting, the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support, or providing credit card processing services;
  • to Partners where you have purchased services from a Partner through smukme, or participated in an offer, contest or other activity sponsored or offered through smukme on behalf of the Partner. We may also provide Partners with other personal information about you on your smukme account to send customized offers, to validate the purchases, to aid and troubleshoot redemption, to combat fraud, as part of legal proceedings affecting smukme and the Partner, to facilitate a direct relationship between Partners and customers, and to enable Partners to communicate electronically with customers who make purchases from the Partner;
  • when you rate or review a Service which you have purchased, your rating, review, photo, your first name and last initial will be published on the smukme app and may appear on third party websites. For Partners whose businesses have received reviews on the smukme Marketplace, these reviews may be syndicated on third party websites;
  • to business partners and other advertisers as part of an offer, contest, distribution partnership, or other activity that is provided by or in conjunction with smukme and its business partners and in which you have elected to participate. For example, if you are referred to smukme from a business partner’s website or through an invitation facilitated by or in conjunction with a smukme business partner, smukme may provide that business partner with contact information and transactional information;
  • to the public when any user of the smukme app access your favorites page. You may, however, hide this information from the public by marking your favorites page as private;

to third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal information in the same way as set out in this policy.

If You Are a Partner

We may share some or all of your personal information, including but not limited to booking information, staff member names, Partner offerings, ratings and reviews, prices and discounts, appointment availability, and related data (collectively “Partner Information”) with end users who have signed up or registered for smukme and with smukme business partners and affiliates with which smukme is working:

  • we may feed Partner information to third party websites (excluding customer lists), which may result in Partner information appearing on a third-party website, mobile application or in search engine results; and such results may include a corresponding link to schedule an appointment through smukme;
  • smukme may contact Partner employees through email to invite them to create a smukme account with a restricted login;
