What personal information does Outfy collect?

The information we gather from customers enables us to personalize and improve our services and to allow our users to set up a user account and profile that can be used to interact with other users through the Website. We collect the following types of information from our customers:

Personal information you provide to us

We receive and store any information you provide to us. The types of Personal Information collected may include your real name, username, email address, IP address, location, browser information, browsing history, transactions, listings created, comments and reviews posted, and any other information necessary for us to provide our services as well as credentials you provide us to link your Outfy account with third-party services such as Facebook and Twitter. If you provide your third-party account credentials to us, you understand some content and/or information in those accounts ("Third Party Account Information") may be transmitted into your account with us if you authorize such transmissions, and that Third Party Account Information transmitted to our Website is covered by this Privacy Policy. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to register with us or to take advantage of some of our features. We may anonymize your Personal Information so that you cannot be individually identified, and provide that information to our partners.

Personal information collected automatically
  • Whenever you interact with our Website, we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, "cookie" information, and the page you requested.
  • "Cookies" are identifiers we transfer to your computer through your browser that allow us to recognize your browser or mobile device and tell us how and when pages in our site are visited and by how many people. We may also record the referring page that linked you to us; the page you visit after our site; the ads you see; the ads you click on; other information about the type of Web browser, computer, platform, related software and settings you are using; any search terms you have entered on this Web Site or a referral site; and other usage activity and data logged by our servers. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser to prevent or limit your computer's acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of Outfy's best features. Our advertising partners may also transmit cookies to your computer, when you click on ads that appear on our site. This Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
  • When we collect usage information (such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to the Website), we only use this data in aggregate form, and not in a manner that would identify you personally. For example, this aggregate data tells us how often users use parts of the Website, so that we can make the Website appealing to as many users as possible. We may also provide this aggregate information to our partners, so that they can understand how often people use their services and our Website, so that they, too, can provide you with an optimal online experience. We never disclose aggregate information to a partner in a manner that would identify you personally.
Account Deactivation and Data Deletion

You have the right to deactivate your Outfy account or request the deletion of your personal data at any time. You can deactivate your account directly through your account settings or by contacting us at hello@outfy.com.

Deactivating your account will automatically result in the complete deletion of your personal data as outlined below.

For personal data deletion requests:

  • Contact Us: Submit a request via hello@outfy.com or use our contact form.
  • Verification: For security purposes, we may require verification of your identity before processing your request.
  • Processing: Once your identity is verified, we will complete the data deletion process within 30 days and notify you when it’s done.
Third-party Integrations

Outfy platform provides a host of integrations with external third-party platforms. To achieve this, after asking for your consent, these platforms share a secret key which can be used to access your data and integrate into the Outfy platform, and sometimes Outfy has to provide a secret key to these platforms for them to be able to access your data and make the integration possible. We will not share personal information about you or any content with any other third parties for this.

Whenever we receive secret keys related to your account from external platforms, we store them securely in our encrypted database. When you apply for deletion of your account, or when you explicitly remove the specific integration, the secret key is deleted from our records, forever!

YouTube API Services

Outfy uses YouTube's Application Interface Program (API). By using our Services, you are agreeing to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. You can review YouTube's Terms of Service here YouTube's Terms of Service (https://www.youtube.com/t/terms).

While using google authentication we save user's information such as account ID, username details to set up the user's profile and remove the user's hassle of manually entering this in account setup details. We also save the user's authentication token and refresh token when using YouTube Integrations, as it helps users to not authenticate every time when sharing videos to the YouTube platform. YouTube user data is refreshed every 7 days.

Users can remove this information from Outfy by deleting or disconnecting his/her connected account. This record is saved internally and not shared with any third parties. User can also remove Outfy’s access from using their authorized token by revoking Outfy from Google Security Setting page(https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions). Outfy checks the validity of the connected youtube account periodically every 7 days and if found un-authorised, all associated data is removed.

Network and Information Security

Outfy takes reasonable steps to protect information we collect from you to prevent loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. In addition, highly confidential personal information such as username and password that we request from you on our Web site is protected with encryption, such as Secured Socket Layer (SSL) protocol, during transmission over the Internet.

We use ultra secure AES 128-bit encryption methods and key management procedures to ensure your confidential and sensitive information (username, passwords, settings) is protected. Additionally with multiple layers of protection, we give you an extraordinary level of security.

The servers on which information is stored are kept in a controlled environment with very limited access. While we take reasonable efforts to guard personal information we knowingly collect directly from you, no security system is impenetrable. In addition, we cannot guarantee that any passively-collected personal information you choose to store on our systems are maintained at adequate levels of protection to meet specific needs or obligations you may have relating to that information.

Your account information and access to our service is accessible only through the use of an individual user ID and password. To protect the confidentiality of personal information, you must keep your password confidential and not disclose it to any other person. Please advise us immediately if you believe your password has been misused. In addition, always logout and close your browser when you finish your session. Please note that we will never ask you to disclose your password in an unsolicited phone call or email.

User profile information, including without limitation your name, email address, and other information ("User Submissions") may be displayed to other users if you chosen to enter such information on your user profile. Again, any content (including without limitation images, captions, and comments) you voluntarily disclose for other users to view on the Website is not Personal Information; it becomes publicly available and can be collected and used by others, and may be redistributed through the internet and other media channels. Additionally, if you sign into the Website through a third party social networking site or service, your list of "friends" from that site or service may be automatically imported to the Website, and such "friends," if they are also registered users of the Website, may be able to access certain non-public information you have entered in your Website user profile. Again, we do not control the policies and practices of any other third party site or service.

Business transfers

We may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Also, if we (or substantially all of our assets) are acquired, or if we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, Personal Information would be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.

Protection of Outfy and others

We reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information that we reasonably believe is necessary to comply with law or court order; enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Outfy, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

With your consent

Except as set forth above, you will be notified when your Personal Information may be shared with third parties, and will be able to prevent the sharing of this information.

Is personal information about me secure?

Your account is protected by a password for your privacy and security. If you access your account via a third-party site or service, you may have additional or different sign-in protections via that third-party site or service. You need to prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password and/or other sign-in mechanism appropriately and limiting access to your computer and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account. We endeavor to protect the privacy of your account and other Personal Information we hold in our records, but we cannot guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time. In the event that we believe that the security of your Personal Information in our possession or control may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you of that development. If a notification is appropriate, we will endeavor to do so as promptly as possible under the circumstances, and, we may do so by email. The Website may contain links to other sites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices on other sites. When linking to another site you should read that site's privacy policy.
