1. Introduction
Bajaar LLC ("we," "our," or "us") operates Winzos. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the Winzos website or mobile app to enter contests, ask questions, earn contest entries or Pointcoins, or redeem rewards.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect information about you in various ways:
Personal Information
- Your phone number, which is your account
- A device identifier
- Contest entries
- Questions you ask, and the AI answers shown to you
- Your Pointcoin balance and redemptions
- Name and email address, when you provide them
- Shipping address (for prize delivery)
- Payment information (processed by third-party providers)
- A push-notification token, if you allow alerts
- On iPhone, your choice when the app asks for permission to track
Location and Advertising Identifiers
- Precise location, only after you tap Allow store visits and choose Allow all the time on Android, or Change to Always Allow on iPhone. We collect it to detect a visit to a participating store, including while the app is closed. Collection stops when you sign out or turn location off in your device settings.
- Approximate location derived from your IP address, and your time zone
- Your mobile advertising ID (IDFA on iPhone, Google Advertising ID on Android) and similar pseudonymous IDs, collected with that location permission, including while you are not using the app
Automatically Collected Information
- Device and browser information
- IP address
- Usage data and browsing patterns
- Cookies and similar tracking technologies
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Run your account, record contest entries and Pointcoins, and show AI answers
- Process contest entries and deliver prizes
- Complete a redemption
- Send alerts you allow, including rewards, offers, and nearby stores
- Communicate with you about contests and updates
- Improve and personalize your experience
- Analyze usage patterns and optimize our Service
- Prevent fraud and ensure platform security
- Comply with legal obligations
Precise location is used to detect when you arrive at a participating store, including while the app is closed, and to show the in-store offer. Contest entries are added after you close that offer. A store visit does not add Pointcoins.
4. Information Sharing
We may share your information with:
- The Creator who runs a contest, and only the information needed to run that contest and deliver its prize. Email addresses shown to the Creator are partly hidden. The Creator may not try to reconstruct them or use your information for the Creator's own marketing.
- Advertising partners such as InMarket, which receive precise location and advertising identifiers for store visits. We do not give that location or those advertising identifiers to the Creator. See Section 5.
- Service providers who assist in operating our platform
- Legal authorities when required by law
- Business partners with your consent
We do not sell your name, phone number, account contents, or contest activity. Sharing precise location and advertising identifiers with advertising partners may be a "sale" or "sharing" under US state privacy laws. Section 5 explains how to opt out.
5. Location Data and Mobile Advertising
When you grant permission, the Winzos mobile app collects precise location data from your device, and your mobile advertising ID or similar pseudonymous IDs, including when you are not using the app. We share that data with third-party ad companies such as InMarket for tailored advertising, ad campaign measurement and attribution, and analytics. To learn more about these practices, visit the Digital Advertising Alliance. A description of mobile opt-out choices is available from the Network Advertising Initiative.
You can control this collection through your device settings. You may:
- Opt in to location tracking for store-visit entries by tapping Allow store visits and choosing Allow all the time on Android, or Change to Always Allow on iPhone.
- Turn location off at any time in your device settings. Winzos has no separate in-app location settings screen.
- Choose precise or approximate location in your device settings, where the operating system offers that choice.
- Stop store-visit monitoring by signing out of the app.
Under various US state privacy laws, sharing location data and advertising identifiers with advertising partners may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising. To opt out, turn off location access for Winzos in your device settings, sign out of the app, or email help@winzos.io with the subject line "Location opt-out" and the phone number on your account.
6. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Delete your account in the app with Delete my account, or by emailing help@winzos.io. Deleting the account removes the Pointcoin balance on that account, including the balance shared with Pointcoin, and rewards that have not been redeemed.
- Turn off push alerts for rewards, offers, and nearby stores in your device settings
- Use the location choices in Section 5
- Opt out of marketing communications
- Data portability
To ask for access, a correction, or deletion, email help@winzos.io.
8. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience, analyze usage, and assist in our marketing efforts. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.
9. How Long We Keep Information
We keep information while your account is open. We may keep it longer when we need it for fraud prevention, payouts, prize disputes, or legal claims.
10. Children's Privacy
Winzos is not for anyone under 18. Do not enter a contest if you are under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Continued use of Winzos after that posting is acceptance of the change.
