If you choose to not agree with any of these terms, you may not use the Service.
At Humanitoo our focus is creating a positive and helpful experience for our users. We want Humanitoo to be convenient, safe, and fun for you and your communities. This means there are a few rules. You may NOT:
At its discretion, Humanitoo may permanently cancel accounts of users who violate the Terms of Service. Humanitoo reserves the right to view Private Groups ONLY for the purposes of fixing issues, to respond to complaints about Terms of Service violations, or when required to do so by law. Humanitoo reserves the ongoing right to view Pages, Selective Groups, Open Groups, and any groups in the Humanitoo Open Group Directory to assess compliance with this Terms of Service. Humanitoo reserves the right to remove objectionable content without notice. Humanitoo can remove any content or information you post at Humanitoo if we believe that it violates our Terms of Service.
We may suspend or terminate your account or cease providing you with all or part of the Services at any time for any or no reason, including, but not limited to, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms.
Humanitoo reserves the right to ban Pages, Groups and users that do not comply with its Terms of Service as assessed in Humanitoo’s sole discretion and interpretation of its Terms of Service; and Users, Pages and Groups under investigation or which have been detected as sharing content in violation of these terms may have their visibility limited in various parts of Humanitoo, including search. Pages, Groups, and users may not be notified when any of this occurs. Banned Pages, Groups, and users may contact Humanitoo Customer Support to request more information. We reserve the right to respond or not respond to such requests. Please comply with the rules in Humanitoo’s Terms of Service.
While we have the right to monitor activity and content associated with Humanitoo, we are not obligated to do so. We do not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of any content submitted by users. Because community standards vary and individuals sometimes choose not to comply with our policies and practices, you understand that in the process of using Humanitoo, you may be exposed to content that you find offensive or objectionable in your communities. We do not endorse, support, represent or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any Content or communications posted at Humanitoo or endorse any opinions expressed at Humanitoo. We may investigate the complaints and violations of our policies that come to our attention and may take any action that we believe is appropriate, including, but not limited to issuing warnings, removing the content or terminating accounts and/or subscriptions. We also, however, reserve the right not to take any action. Under no circumstances will we be liable in any way for any content, including, but not limited to any errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of, access to, or denial of access to any content on the Website.
There are no fees for use of many of the features on Humanitoo. However, premium features and subscriptions are available for purchase by Humanitoo members for additional services the company may offer.
Humanitoo may change the fees and/or benefits associated with premium features from time to time or may immediately suspend or terminate premium features for any or no reason and without advance notice or liability.
When you purchase a premium feature that is paid for by you through recurring payments, you agree that you are authorizing recurring payments, and that such payments and thereby subscription will be made by the method and at the recurring intervals you have agreed to, until the subscription is terminated by you or by Humanitoo. You may cancel a subscription at any time before the end of the current billing period and the cancellation will take effect on the next billing period.
If you break any of Humanitoo’s terms in the use of your Humanitoo account and/or in the use of its premium features and subscriptions, in addition to other actions we may take, we may cancel any or all of your premium features and subscriptions immediately and no refund will be granted for any payments you have made.
Humanitoo uses the services of established 3rd party vendors for all payments and payment information. Humanitoo stores no payment information on its servers and is not liable for any breach of payment information or loss that occurs with the payment vendor.
Due to storage limitations and expenses, Humanitoo reserves the right to close and delete any user account that has not been logged in for a period of 6 months or more. Humanitoo will notify any such users whose accounts it intends to delete, by email or SMS, if they have been inactive for greater than 5 months and provide those users with a minimum of 30 days notice and options on how to keep their content and account at Humanitoo or how to download their content onto their personal computers. Humanitoo will give one final notice at least 48 hours prior to deleting an account.
Humanitoo reserves the right to transfer ownership and administration of or terminate an Open Group or Page that has been abandoned by the Page or Group owner and its appointed Page or Group administrators. A Page or Open Group is considered abandoned if the Page or Group owner and Page or Group administrators do not log into Humanitoo for at least 6 months or do not post to the Page or Group for at least 6 months. Once the transfer of a Page or Group ownership and administration is effected by Humanitoo, it may be transferred subsequently at any time by Humanitoo.

When connected to and engaged in 3rd party sites through Humanitoo, you agree and understand that while you are posting, commenting, sharing, etc., content with 3rd party sites, you and your content are in those moments under the legal authority of that 3rd party site and the privacy and terms policies of that 3rd party site.

You may not register or create fake and misleading accounts. While you may use Humanitoo pseudonymously or as a parody, commentary, or fan account, you may not use misleading account information in order to engage in spamming, abusive, or disruptive behavior, including attempts to manipulate the conversations on Humanitoo. Some of the factors that we may take into account when determining whether an account is fake include:
You may not use Humanitoo’s services for the purpose of spamming anyone. Spam is generally defined on Humanitoo as bulk or aggressive activity that attempts to manipulate or disrupt Humanitoo or the experience of users on Humanitoo to drive traffic or attention to unrelated accounts, products, services, or initiatives. Some of the factors that we take into account when determining what conduct is considered to be spamming include:
Humanitoo uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to Humanitoo and you do so at your own risk. Using unsecured Wi-Fi or other unprotected networks to submit messages through the Humanitoo Service is never recommended. Once we receive your transmission of information, Humanitoo makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. If Humanitoo learns of a security systems breach, then we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. Humanitoo may post a notice on the Humanitoo Site or through the Humanitoo Service if a security breach occurs.
When you use our Services, we process any data you explicitly enter into the site (your “Content Data”), including your full name, email address, profile information, posts, comments, photos, voice recordings, videos, files, emojis, etc. Humanitoo uses your Content Data for the sole purpose of serving and providing you with the full experience of Humanitoo. You control how we process your Content Data through Privacy & Sharing settings in your account at Humanitoo. At any time you can edit/update, retrieve or delete your Content Data in your account.
When you use our Services, we may receive information (“Log Data”) such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, the referring web page, pages visited, location, your mobile carrier, and device information (including device and application IDs). We receive Log Data when you interact with our Services, for example, when you visit our websites, sign into our Services, interact with our email notifications, use your account to authenticate to a third-party website or application. We may also receive Log Data when you click on, view or interact with links on our Services, including links to third-party applications, such as when you choose to install another application through Humanitoo. Humanitoo uses Log Data to provide, understand, and improve our Services. We either delete Log Data or remove any common account identifiers, such as your username, full IP address, or email address, after a maximum of 12 months.
At any time you can retrieve your entire Content Data package from Humanitoo, using the “Download Your Content” feature in your account. When you select this feature, you will be able to download your Content Data to your personal device and decide how to migrate that data anywhere you choose.
At all times you have an easy way to opt out of our service and delete your account as well as ALL of your Content Data, if you do not wish to continue using our services. You can find this in your “Settings” where it says “Delete My Account.” When you delete any of your Content Data, or delete your entire account, we delete your Content Data and remove your account from our production servers as soon as is technically possible based on our infrastructure design including a 30-day delay to insure the deletion request was made by you, etc. The more data you delete, the longer will the deletion process take due to load balancing protections on our servers. After we’ve deleted your Content Data from our production servers, that same data may remain in our backups for a limited period of time (maximum of 7 months) due to protection regulations and our protocols for backup content protection. We secure your data that temporarily remains on our backups with additional security protocols. If we ever need to restore our backups into the main servers of Humanitoo (in a rare instance, for example recovering from a natural disaster), if any of your Content Data you have previously deleted from our main servers is still on our backups in that moment, it will be deleted prior to or right after the backups are moved to the main servers. If you own a group and delete your account, the content you posted to that group will be deleted; however, the group(s) you own will not be deleted unless you are the only member of that group.
You may desire to make it easier for you to find and connect with your friends by using Humanitoo “Add Automatically”. If you choose to enable “Add Automatically”, Humanitoo will collect the telephone numbers and e-mail addresses in your address book(s), and enable you to add friends on Humanitoo who have consented to being found by their telephone number or e-mail address (“Add Automatically”). Humanitoo “Add Automatically” will:
You may also choose to use the Humanitoo Invitation Service. If you choose to use this service, Humanitoo will access your address book on your behalf. On Desktop you have the choice of uploading your address book to your Humanitoo account by giving Humanitoo permission to do this on your behalf. You also have the choice to give the Humanitoo App permission at your request to access your address book. Additionally, you have the choice to invite individual friends or contacts to connect with you on Humanitoo using your personalized Humanitoo link, QR code, and you may send them SMS or e-mail invitations using the Humanitoo Invitation Service. If you give Humanitoo permission to upload your address book in order to serve your needs with invitations, Humanitoo may store a copy of the phone numbers, emails, and names in your address book on Humanitoo servers. This information is only used to provide you with the Humanitoo Invitation Service and Humanitoo “Add Automatically.”
Any address book information that you upload or sync with Humanitoo is covered by this Terms of Service and Humanitoo’s Privacy Policy. You can remove your address book at any time and you can disable “Add Automatically” at any time by turning off this feature via your “Contacts” -> “Settings.”If you choose to remove your address book or disable “Add Automatically,” your address book will be immediately deleted from our main servers and then deleted from our backup servers during our normal backup processing cycles of approximately 6 months.
Humanitoo's policy is to notify users of requests for their account information, which includes a copy of the request, prior to disclosure unless we are prohibited from doing so. Exceptions to prior notice may include exigent or counterproductive circumstances (e.g., emergencies; account compromises, etc.). We may also provide post-notice to affected users when prior notice is prohibited.
Like all service providers, Humanitoo is legally required to turn over customer data that it hosts when it receives valid legal process from a law enforcement authority with jurisdiction. The following guidelines apply to all customer data hosted by Humanitoo.
Preservation requests, subpoenas, or search warrants from United Kingdom law enforcement or civil investigative agencies seeking data regarding Humanitoo's customers may be personally served at, or mailed to the address below. Humanitoo will only respond to requests from non-United Kingdom. law enforcement agencies that are issued by a United Kingdom court either by way of a mutual legal assistance treaty or a letter rogatory. Civil subpoenas require personal service and will not be accepted via fax.
For all Humanitoo customers disclosure is governed by United Kingdom law, as well as by our own Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. In general, we will turn over “basic subscriber” records (i.e., name, email address, phone number, and so on) in response to a valid subpoena that is issued in connection with an official criminal investigation. However, we require a search warrant issued upon a showing of probable cause under relevant state or federal law before we will turn over user content stored on our servers, such as posts, photos, videos, documents, etc. Requests by law enforcement agencies require a valid search warrant or equivalent from an agency with proper jurisdiction over Humanitoo.
