Furthermore, by using the FRAPP Websites, users may access additional online services offered by FRAPP or other third parties. Your username and password are processed during registration in order to verify your authorization and handle your requests, such as changing your password.

1.2 User Inquiries, Account Establishment, and Login

We allow you the choice to use our FRAPP Websites to share content on social media sites or to connect your FRAPP account with these sites via social plugins. Regardless of your interaction with the plugin, social networks have the ability to retrieve personal data.

In order to address this, we follow these steps when we integrate social network plugins on our websites: The social plugins are initially disabled when users visit our websites, so no information is sent to the network operators. You can connect directly to the server of each network by activating the corresponding social plugin if you want to use any of these networks. When visiting FRAPP Websites with embedded social media plugins while logged in to a social network, the network may gather and save information about your visit and link it to your social media user account. Please disconnect off the network before enabling the social plugin in order to avoid this. The information gathered from your visit to the FRAPP Websites cannot be connected to the information associated with your social network user account once you log out.

It's crucial to remember that FRAPP has no control over the information that social media networks gather using its plugins. To learn more about how to use and operate social media plugins, what kinds of data are gathered, why data is collected, and how these social networks generally handle data protection, we highly advise you to check their privacy policies.

These social media sites automatically give us access to certain personal information they have on file about you when you choose to share information on them or link your FRAPP account to the applicable social media platform. This data contains information about the adverts you've seen or interacted with, as well as content you've liked and visited.

Furthermore, you have the option to visit our FRAPP Websites via a third-party service, like visiting them from our social network accounts. In these cases, we obtain personal information from your social media user account, such as your phone number, email address, first and last name, and any other details you have chosen to make public.

In order to improve the features and functionality of the FRAPP Websites and to give you a personalized service, we handle and use the information described above.

The legal provisions are followed in the processing and use of this data, which is justified by FRAPP's legitimate interest in tailoring the functionality of the FRAPP Websites to users' needs, for focused marketing campaigns, and for market research.

You can choose how much information we can access about you by changing your social networking account's privacy settings.
