Privacy Policy

Effective September 13, 2024

Our Privacy Policy has been updated.

Importance of Protecting Your Privacy

Our mission is to connect professionals around the world to enhance their productivity and support them on the path to success. Our services are designed to bring collaborators together around a unifying idea: recognition among colleagues, promoting pride in belonging to their professional or social environment on an internal network within organizations, and fostering lasting collaborative relationships.

This Privacy Policy applies whenever you use our services (described below). We offer our users the choice regarding the data we collect, use, and share, as outlined in this Privacy Policy, our Cookie Policy, and Preferences.

Key Terms

We are an internal social network and an online platform for professionals.

Our registered users (“Members”) share their professional identity, communicate with their network, send recognition notifications, exchange information and professional viewpoints, and publish and view content.

This Privacy Policy, which includes our Cookie Policy, applies to your use of our Services.

This Privacy Policy applies to likeplus.tech and LikePlus branded applications.

Data Controllers and Contracting Parties

SN DINAMYCS SARL will control the personal data you provide to our Services, or that we have collected through our Services, or that we have processed in connection with our Services.

As a Member of our Services, the collection, use, and sharing of your personal data are subject to this Privacy Policy and other documents indicated in the Privacy Policy, as well as its updated versions.

Changes

Any changes to the Privacy Policy apply to your use of our Services after the “effective date.”

LikePlus (“we”) may modify this Privacy Policy and, if the changes are significant, will inform you via the Services or other means, giving you the opportunity to review the changes before they take effect. If you oppose any changes, you may close your account.

You acknowledge that if you continue to use our Services after the publication of changes to our Privacy Policy or after receiving a notice regarding such changes, it means that the collection, use, and sharing of your personal data are subject to the updated version of the Privacy Policy, starting from its effective date.

You provide us with data to create an account on our platform.

You create your LikePlus profile (a complete profile allows you to make the most of our Services).

Profile

You can choose what information will appear on your profile, such as your date of entry into the organization, your date of birth, your phone number, a profile picture. However, profile information allows you to make the most of our Services, notably increasing your visibility to your colleagues.

Publishing and Uploading on the Platform

We collect your personal data when you provide, publish, or upload it on our Services.

You are not required to publish or upload personal data. However, if you do not, your ability to develop your network and interact with your connections through our Services may be limited.

Others may publish or write content about you.

Content and News

You and third parties may publish content that includes information about you (in articles, posts, comments, or videos) on our Services. We may also collect public information about you, such as your news and achievements related to your professional field.

Contacts and Calendar Information

Affiliated Companies and Other Services

We log your consultations and use of our Services, including mobile applications.

We log usage data when you access our Services (or use them in any way), including our websites, applications, and platform technology, notably when you view content (for example, a training video) or advertisements (on our sites and applications, or outside) or click on them, when you perform a search, when you install or update one of our mobile applications, and when you share articles. We use login identifiers, cookies, device information, and IP addresses to identify you and log your activity.

We collect data through cookies and other similar technologies.

As detailed in our Cookie Policy, we use cookies and similar technologies (like pixels and advertising tags) to collect data (like device identifiers) that allow us to recognize you or your devices, whether you are logged in or not, across the different services and devices that allow you to interact with our Services. We also allow third parties to use cookies in accordance with our Cookie Policy.

We receive data via cookies and other similar technologies.

When you view or leave our Services (including certain plugins and our cookies or similar technologies on third-party sites), we receive the URL of the site you are leaving and that of the site you are going to, as well as the time of your visit. We also obtain information about your network and device (including IP address, proxy server, operating system, web browser, add-ons, features, device identifier, cookie identifiers, and/or the name of your mobile carrier or internet service provider). If you use our Services on a mobile device, it will send us data about your geolocation according to the settings on your phone. We will ask for your consent before using GPS or other tools to identify your exact location.

We also know if you communicate through our Services.

When your organization purchases the LikePlus Service for you to use, it provides us with data about you.

Any third party that purchases our Services for you to use provides us with personal data about you and informs us that you meet the necessary conditions to use the purchased Services intended for employees, active members of associations, or more generally any persons belonging to the organization. For example, we obtain contact details for administrators.

In the context of improving our Services, we obtain new data and seek new ways to use it.

Our Services being dynamic, we often offer new features that may require the collection of new information. If we were to collect personal data of a substantially different nature or significantly change our collection, use, or sharing of your data, we would inform you and also modify this Privacy Policy.

Key Terms

We use your data to provide, support, personalize, and develop our Services.

Our use of your personal data depends on the Services you use and how you use them.

Our Services allow you to develop recognition towards your colleagues, be dynamically informed, and have a space to publish your internal news within your organization.

We use your data to give you access to our Services and track your preferences.

We use data about you (such as your profile, profiles you have viewed).

We will contact you via email, on your mobile phone, through publications on the LikePlus website or applications, by messages, or other means via our Services, including SMS messaging or push notifications. We will send you messages related to the availability of our Services, security, or other issues concerning the Services. We will also communicate about your use of our Services, reminders, and job recommendations. Please note that you cannot block the reception of messages we send you, including legal notices and security notifications.

We send you advertisements as part of our Services.

Data from advertising technologies, both within our Services and outside them, such as pixels, advertising tags, cookies, and device identifiers; information provided by Members (for example, profile, contact information, job title, and industry); data obtained through your use of our Services (for example, search history, news feed, content read, subscriptions, relationships, group participation, page views, videos watched, clicks on advertisements, etc.), including as described in Article 1.3; information from advertising partners, suppliers, and publishers; and information from the data described above (including using profile posts to deduce industry, hierarchical level, and salary range, using graduation dates to deduce age, or using first names and pronouns to deduce gender, using your news feed to deduce your interests, or using device data to know that you are a Member).

Ad Preferences

Information for Advertising Providers

We do not share your personal data with advertising agencies or third-party advertising networks, except: (i) device identifiers or hashed identifiers (to the extent they are considered personal data in certain countries); (ii) items for which you have specifically given your permission (for example, in a lead generation form); or (iii) data already visible to users of the Services (for example, the profile). However, if you view an advertisement on our Services or outside them, or click on it, the advertiser will be notified that the page containing the advertisement is being viewed. They may then determine that it is you through mechanisms such as cookies. Advertising partners may associate personal data collected by the advertiser directly from you with device identifiers or hashed identifiers from us. In this case, we aim to contractually require these advertising partners to obtain your explicit consent beforehand to proceed in this manner.

We promote our Services to you and third parties.

In addition to advertising our Services, we use Member data and content for invitations and communications to promote subscriptions, as well as the development of their network, interactions, and our Services, for example, by showing your connections that you are using a feature of our Services.

We develop our Services and conduct studies.

Service Development

We use data, including public feedback, to carry out research and development activities related to our Services, in order to provide you and others with a better, more intuitive, and personalized experience, and to increase the number of memberships and interactions on our Services.

Surveys

Through our Services, we and third parties conduct surveys and questionnaires. You are not obligated to respond to these surveys and questionnaires, and you can choose whether or not to provide certain information. You can opt out of survey invitations.

We use data to help you and resolve issues.

We use data (including possibly your communications) to review complaints and Service issues (such as bugs), to respond to them, and to resolve them.

We use data to produce information that does not identify you.

We use your data to produce and share information that does not identify you. For example, we may use your data to generate statistics about our members, their profession, or their industry, to calculate the number of ads displayed or that resulted in clicks, or to publish demographic data about visitors to a Service or create demographic information about professionals.

We use data for security, fraud prevention, and investigations.

We use your data (including your communications) either for security reasons or to prevent or investigate possible fraud or other violations of our Terms of Service and/or attempts to harm our Members or others.

Key Terms

All data that you include in your profile or in the content you publish, as well as your actions on the news feed (such as Likes, comments, and shares) performed on our Services, are visible to members of your organization.

Profile

Your profile is fully visible to all Members of your organization.

Posts, Likes, Comments.

Our Services allow the display and sharing of information, including through posts, Likes, and comments.

When you share an article or post (such as news, an image, a video, or an article), it can be viewed by everyone but cannot be reshared on third-party sites. When you like, reshared, or comment on someone else’s content, other Members will see these “social actions” and associate this social action with you (for example, your name, profile, and photo if applicable).

Your employer may know how you use the Services they provide for professional purposes.

Members subject to compliance may be required to store communications outside of our Services.

For legal or professional compliance reasons, some Members (or their employers) must archive their communications and social media activity, and may engage a third-party provider to meet this need. We enable the archiving of messages from Members outside of our Services and those sent to these Members.

Depending on your preferences, excerpts from your profile will appear on third-party services (for example, in search engine results, in messaging or calendar applications displaying a mini-LinkedIn profile of the person the user is about to meet or contact, in social media aggregators, or in talent and prospect management programs). The “old” profile information is retained in these services until they update their data cache with the changes you have made to your profile.

We share your data across our various Services and with LikePlus affiliates.

We will share your personal data with our affiliates as part of the provision and development of our Services. For example, we may refer your request to SNH in certain cases, for instance when a more recent response may be helpful to you. We may aggregate information internally across the various Services covered by this Privacy Policy to help our Services be more relevant and useful to you and others.

We may use outside help for our Services.

We engage third parties to assist in the provision of our Services (for example, for maintenance, statistics, audits, payments, fraud detection, customer support, marketing, and development). They have access to your information (such as the content of a customer support request) as necessary to perform these tasks on our behalf and are required not to disclose or use it for other purposes.

We may need to share your data if we believe we are required to do so by law or to safeguard our rights and security, as well as yours and those of third parties.

We may need to disclose information about you when required by law, in response to a subpoena or other legal process, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (1) investigate actual or suspected illegal activities, prevent such activities, or take action against them, or assist law enforcement agencies; (2) enforce our contracts with you; (3) investigate allegations and complaints from third parties, and defend ourselves against them; (4) ensure the security or integrity of our Services (for example, by sharing with companies facing the same threats); or (5) exercise or protect the rights and safety of LikePlus, our Members, our staff, or third parties. If we deem it appropriate, we strive to notify Members who are subject to a legal request for the disclosure of their personal data, unless in emergencies or where prohibited by law or a court order. We may challenge such requests when we believe, in our discretion, that they are excessive, vague, or not duly authorized, but we do not commit to contesting all of them. For more information, please refer to our Data Requests Guidelines and our Transparency Report.

We may share your data in the event of the sale of our business to third parties, but it must still be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We may also share your personal data in the context of a sale, merger, or acquisition, or in preparation for such events. Any third party acquiring all or part of our business will be permitted to use your data, but only in accordance with this Privacy Policy, unless otherwise specified by you.

We keep most of your personal data as long as your account is open.

We generally retain your personal data as long as your account remains open or as long as we need it to provide you with the Services. This includes data that you or third parties have provided us, as well as data generated or inferred based on your use of our Services. Even if you only use our Services sporadically, we keep your information and maintain your profile open unless you close your account. In some cases, we retain information (such as usage data) in a depersonalized or aggregated manner.

You can access your personal data and delete it. There are many options available to you for the collection, use, and sharing of your data.

We offer many options for the collection, use, and sharing of your data. You can delete or correct the data included in your profile, manage the visibility of your posts, or control your communications. You have the ability to control and manage the personal data we hold.

Regarding the personal data we hold about you, you can:

Delete data: You can request that we delete or remove all or part of your personal data (for example, if it is no longer necessary for us to provide you with Services).

Modify or rectify data: You can modify some of your personal data through your account. You can also request that we modify, update, or correct your data in certain cases, particularly if it is inaccurate.

Object to, limit, or restrict the use of data: You can request that we stop using all or part of your personal data (for example, if we have no legal right to continue using it) or limit our use of it (for example, if your personal data is inaccurate or unlawfully held).

Access your data and/or retrieve it: You can request a copy of your personal data as well as a copy of the data you provided in a machine-readable format.

You can also contact us using the contact details available below, and we will handle your request in accordance with applicable laws.

Users may also have additional rights under their own legislation.

We retain some of your data even after your account is closed.

If you close your LikePlus account, your data is generally no longer visible on our Services within 24 hours. We typically delete information from closed accounts within 30 days, with the following exceptions.

We retain your personal data after your account is closed if reasonably necessary to fulfill our legal obligations (including requests from authorities), comply with regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse (notably, if we restricted your account due to a violation of our terms of service), or respond to your request to stop receiving messages from us (“unsubscribing”). We retain personalized information after your account is closed.

The information you have shared with third parties (such as endorsements, news, or posts) will still be visible after your account is closed or your profile data is deleted. We do not control the data that other Members have copied outside of our Services. Content and group ratings or comments associated with a closed account will show as “Unknown User.” Your profile may continue to appear on third-party services (such as search engine results) until they refresh their cache.

We monitor for security breaches and attempt to prevent them. Please use the security features available on our Services.

We implement security measures to protect your data, such as HTTPS protocol. We regularly monitor our systems for potential vulnerabilities and attacks. However, this does not guarantee the security of the information you send us. There is no guarantee that data will not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed due to a breach of our management, technical, or physical protections.

We store and use your data outside your country.

We process your information both within French territory and outside, relying on legal processes to transfer data across borders. The laws of the countries where we process data may differ from those in your own country, potentially offering less protection.

We have legal bases for collecting, using, and sharing data about you. LikePlus provides options for the use of your data. You can withdraw your consent at any time by accessing your preferences.

We will only collect and process personal data about you for which we have legal bases. The legal bases include your consent (when you have given your consent), the contract (when processing data is necessary for the execution of a contract with you, for example, to provide you with the LikePlus Services you requested), and “legitimate interests.”

When the processing of your personal data is subject to your consent, you have the right not to consent or to withdraw your consent at any time; when the processing of your personal data is based on legitimate interests, you have the right to object. If you have questions regarding the legal bases we rely on for collecting and using your personal data, please contact our Data Protection Officer by clicking here.

Statements regarding direct marketing and “Do Not Track” signals.

Currently, we do not share personal data with third parties for direct marketing purposes without your consent.

You can contact us or use other options to voice your complaints.

If you have questions or complaints regarding this Policy, please first contact LikePlus online. If you are still not satisfied after contacting us, you have other options. Residents of designated Countries and other regions are also authorized to contact our Data Protection Officer by clicking here. If they are still not satisfied, residents of designated Countries and other regions may also have additional options under their own legislation.
