Privacy Policy

  1. Introduction.

    • This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) applies to and governs Radish Media, Inc., registered in the state of Delaware with offices at 21 W 46th St., Floor 7, New York, New York 10036 c/o Workhouse NYC (“Radish”, “we”, “our”), our relationship with users (“users”, “you”) of the Radish Platform in connection with how Radish collects information about you during your visits to the Radish Platform, how Radish uses and safeguards this information, who Radish shares this information with and for what purposes, and the choices you can make about how we use this information. Your privacy and trust are very important to Radish and it is our commitment to be transparent about the use of collected information.
    • By accessing or using the Radish Platform, you confirm that you unconditionally accept this Privacy Policy. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before using the Radish Platform. If you do not agree to the terms found on this Privacy Policy, you are not granted permission to access, view, or otherwise use the Radish Platform for any purpose.
    • We are strongly committed to protecting the safety and privacy of children who visit the Radish Platform. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information (as defined below) online from children and have adopted techniques to ensure compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”). While some Content (as defined in the Content Policy) including, but not limited to, the Works and Intellectual Property (as defined below) on the Radish Platform may appeal to children, no part of the Radish Platform is directed to or targets children younger than 13 years of age (a “Child” or “Children”), and Children are not permitted to use the Radish Platform. On occasion, however, we may unknowingly collect Personal Information, such as an email address from a Child who submits a question on the Radish Platform. Radish strongly urges all parents and legal guardians to (a) talk to their Children about online safety; (b) monitor their Children’s use of the Internet; and (c) instruct their Children to never provide Personal Information online without their permission. Under COPPA, all parents and legal guardians have the right to review and have any of your Child’s information deleted from our records. Parents and legal guardians should be aware that there are parental control tools available from other sources on the Internet that you can use to prevent your Children from accessing or submitting information online without parental permission. If you are a parent or guardian and learn that your Child has provided Radish with Personal Information without your consent, please contact us at [email protected] , and we will take steps to delete such information from our files as soon as commercially reasonably possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that you are a parent or legal guardian and you permit a Child to use the Radish Platform, you shall be solely responsible for monitoring your Child’s use of the Radish Platform, you shall be solely responsible for any actions undertaken by your Child via the Radish Platform, and you agree that Radish shall have no liability regarding the same. For tips on protecting your child’s privacy online, please see the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s brochure on this topic: www.onguardonline.gov.
    • Capitalized terms we use here that are not defined here are defined in the Radish User Terms of Service (the “Terms”). This Privacy Policy is incorporated into the Terms and is subject to all terms and conditions found on the Terms.

  3. What We Collect.

    There’s a range of information we need to collect about you so that we can operate Radish. This information may include:

    • Information You Give Us. We collect your name, postal address, telephone number, email address, your Internet Protocol (IP) Address, and certain geographic data (“Personal Information”). If you provide it, then this information may also include your name and username. You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the Personal Information that you submit to us. We also collect Non-Personal Information. “Non-Personal Information” means information that is anonymous or we cannot easily use to personally identify you or contact you, including, without limitation, your web or mobile browser type, mobile carrier, operating system, hardware device type, the URL of the previous website you visited, and, upon leaving the Radish Platform, and the URL of the next website you go to.
    • Cookies. Radish requires that Cookies be enabled on your device(s) so that we can identify you as a repeat visitor or customer and maintain session information for logged-in users. When you visit the Radish Platform, create an Account, or download or purchase Works or Services from us, we may set Cookies on your computer or device. Cookies are small data files stored on your device by a website. Cookies are useful for gathering information, such as usage trends and patterns, so that we may better understand your use of the Radish Platform, and manage and optimize the Radish Platform for users. If you use our Radish Platform from a mobile device, that device may send us data about your physical location, which we will get your separate permission for before Radish collects information about your precise location. Most devices allow you to prevent location data from being sent to us and we honor your settings upon your action of revoking your consent through the settings on your device.
    • Payment Processing. As of the date of this Privacy Policy, Radish does not store any credit or debit card details on or offline. Payments and other similar transactions via the Radish Platform are completed by a third party payment processor, such as Apple or Google (“Payment Processor”), and any purchases you make via the Radish Platform shall be additionally governed by the Payment Processor’s terms and conditions and/or privacy policies. Radish is not liable for the security or performance of the Payment Processor. Radish reserves the right to immediately change our Payment Processors at any time without notice to you. Additional Payment Processor terms concerning a writer’s Account and the monetization of Works provided or uploaded by a writer can be found on Radish’s Writer Content Policy.
    • Information We Give to Others. From time to time, a third party may be able to collect information about you in connection with your use of the Radish Platform, including, without limitation, by authenticating your Account via Facebook or when we authorize a third party to render services to us, such as via a Payment Processor. Certain features of the Radish Platform may also allow you to voluntarily provide Personal Information to third parties. When you opt to authenticate or otherwise link your Account with a third party service, voluntarily submit Personal Information to a third party, or an authorized third party receives such information, your Personal Information may not be under our control. Radish encourages you to review the terms and conditions and privacy policies of any third-party website or platform that you visit or allow access to. We may share Non-Personal Information collected by Cookies with third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy, but Radish will not sell it to third parties. Radish will only use such it for Radish’s own business, marketing, and administrative purposes.
    • Newsletters. At various times we may ask you to provide us Personal Information in order to receive recurring informational or promotional newsletters via email, or otherwise through mobile applications, from us and/or directly from third parties (“Newsletters”). When you sign up for Newsletters, or at any time you use the Radish Platform thereafter, you may unsubscribe from Newsletters by following the directions included in the Newsletter or by visiting your Account. We will take commercially reasonable steps to implement your opt-out and unsubscribe requests promptly, but you may still receive communications from us for up to ten business days as we process your request.
    • Surveys. From time to time, we may use Non-Personal Information to conduct research surveys, including, without limitation, through email invitations, pop-up surveys, and online focus groups (each a “Survey”) for our internal use. If you submit Personal Information in a Survey, we or authorized third parties may use it for research and measurement purposes related to the Radish Platform. When a Survey collects Personal Information we will not knowingly accept participants who are under the age of 13, and will treat any such information in accordance with the terms and conditions herein and in the Terms. Surveys conducted by or on behalf of us will contain a link to the Terms. If your browser is not enabled to accept Cookies, you may not be able to participate in a Survey.

  4. Your Rights Regarding What We Collect.

    • In some circumstances, you may control the amount of Personal Information that is accessible to us by adjusting the account privacy settings on your Account page or via certain privacy controls contained on a social media account you have with a third party. Radish makes it easy for you to keep certain aspects of your Personal Information accurate, complete, and up to date. To review or update certain of your Personal Information, or to alter your email preferences, or preferences regarding Personal Information, visit your Account page on the Radish Platform. If you do not want us to use your Personal Information as provided in this Privacy Policy, or otherwise as stated in the Terms, you should not use any part of the Radish Platform that collects Personal Information, such as forms requesting Personal Information (for example, creating an Account).
    • If at any time you would like to close your Account, please send an email to [email protected]. Personal Information will be removed from our active user database and will be deleted as long as you are current with all payment obligations owed to and we do not believe it reasonably necessary to retain such information for any pending legal action or other legal obligation. We will only keep Personal Information for a limited period of time as reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations, meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, and enforce our Terms.
    • Please be aware that in the event of Account closure, any unfulfilled sales or subscriptions may be cancelled without refund and it is your responsibility to request a refund from applicable third party merchants or vendors, which may be a Payment Processor, such as contacting Apple for a refund through the Apple App Store or Google for a refund through the Play Store. In the event such applicable third party grants a refund, the refund may be charged back to you through the Radish Platform, subject to the terms and conditions between Radish and such third parties. For the avoidance of doubt, you understand and acknowledge that Radish does not directly handle refunds.
    • If you later determine you wish to use certain features of the Radish Platform again, you may have to register a new Account and the most up to date Privacy Policy will apply to such Account.

    • To send you promotional communications. These may include the deals email, alerts related to authors you follow, social notifications, surveys, or other newsletters depending on your settings.

    • To send you administrative communications. These may include administrative emails, confirmations, technical notices, updates, and security alerts.
    • To respond to your comments and questions and provide you with user support.
    • To track and measure Radish’s advertising.
