We currently do not collect name or location data. The term Personal Data also encompasses personally identifiable information and personal data as defined in the GDPR General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (“GDPR”).

*You Are Responsible for Maintaining the Accuracy and Confidentiality of Your Email Address and Password

You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your password at all times. We recommend a strong password that you do not use with other services. If you believe your password has been compromised, please change your password immediately via phone app, or contact us at ​caregivers@caregiversmatter.org​ for assistance.

*We May Disclose Your Information in Accordance with the Law

Like other companies, we may disclose your information consistent with the law to, for example: (i) comply with a law, regulation, or legal process (including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements); (ii) protect the safety or security of any person, entity or facility; (iii) address potential violations of our Privacy Policy or Terms of Service; (iv) investigate fraud, security, or technical issues; or (v) protect GLSS’s or a third party's rights or property, our employees, users and the public.

We strongly believe that you have a right to know if we are required by law to disclose your information. As such, before we disclose your Information in response to a law enforcement request (for example, a subpoena or court order), we will notify you at the email listed in your account (provided that you signed up for notifications), unless (a) we are prohibited from doing so or (b) in emergency cases where notice could create a risk of injury or death, or the case involves potential harm to minors. Furthermore, nothing in this Privacy Policy is meant to limit any legal defenses or objections that you may have to a third party’s, including the government’s, request to disclose your information.
