  • Your Privacy Choices on Riposte

    This section explains how you can control what information others see about you on Riposte, with our Privacy Policy included below.

    Your Account and Profile Information

    When you create an account, the following information can be viewed on your profile by anyone logged into Riposte:

    – your profile photo and cover photo- your display name, username, biography- the total number of profiles that follow you (Followers) and a list of those profiles- the total number of profiles that you follow (Following) and a list of those profiles- any Fistpump or Facepalm posts that you have posted with a “Public” setting and any information associated with those posts.You also provide your current Town/City and Country location details, and can choose whether to display these on your profile or not.

    Your display name and username can be searched by other people within Riposte.  You choose whether you use your real name on Riposte, or a pseudonym.

    Your Personal Lenses

    When you create or edit your account, you also provide details about you that determine what information is provided to you in the trending sections of the Riposte application. This is:

    – your current town/city

    – your current country

    – your age group

    We call this information your “personal lenses”, and it is used for showing you what’s trending by other individuals with the same circumstances and settings.  Every time you post something, the information that is collected from the post is associated with the options you have selected in your Personal Lenses at the time of posting.

    You also have the choice to include other Personal Lens information so that you can see what’s trending in other groups relevant to you.   These settings include your gender, your childhood town/city, your ethnic identity, your relationship status, your attraction/orientation, your household, your housing tenure, your stage of learning, your current learning provider, your employment status, and your profession/career path.  These are completely optional, and you can choose whether you select the information most relevant to you for some, all or none of these settings.

    We use Personal Lens information to analyse and compare the celebrations and struggles posted on Riposte across different groups of people and organisations.  It is this information that adds value, meaning and weight to the shared experiences, and allows us to try and analyse both positive and negative social issues and detect emerging ones.  For this reason, we treat this information carefully and respectfully. The information you enter into these settings cannot be viewed by others using the Riposte application. People are not able to limit search results by these settings, even when they select the search function for a particular trending term in a particular trending table.

    You are able to change any of your Personal Lens settings at any time.

    Your Posts

    You are able to control who the audience is for each Fistpump and Facepalm post you make.  You can post publicly, privately, to your followers, or to certain groups within your follower list.

    If you post privately, no one will be able to view that post, but the information will still (anonymously) contribute towards the trending sections of the application (trending tables and trending links), as well as any anonymous group analysis reports we publish and share.

    If you post publicly, anyone is able to view that post under your profile or using the search function.  Anyone that can view your post is able to support, ditto or report that post. Only you can see a list of who has supported or dittoed your posts and the total numbers for each.  When creating a post, you also have the ability to turn off the ditto function.  You can delete your posts at any time.

    Other Social Media Platforms

    Only you have the ability to share your posts across other social media platforms using our “share” function.  We can’t prevent people from taking and sharing screenshots of your posts or profile. We encourage people to share their posts across other social media platforms, and we collect information to analyse the information that is being shared.

    Your Followers

    You can control whether anyone can follow you or if you want to approve being followed first.     

    Notifications

    Your email address is used to send you important information about Riposte, or to alert you if one of your posts has been reported.  However, you can choose whether you would like to receive activity notifications through email or through push notifications – some (but not all) of these can be switched on and off under Notification Settings.

We will periodically review this data, to ensure that it is still relevant and necessary.

Those circumstances are when you contest the accuracy of the personal data, the processing is unlawful, but you oppose erasure, we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of our processing, but you require personal data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, and you have objected to processing, pending the verification of that objection. Where processing has been restricted on this basis, we may continue to store your personal data. However, we will only otherwise process it with your consent, for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest.

    7.7 You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation, but only to the extent that the legal basis for the processing is that the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of any official authority vested in us, or the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party. If you make such an objection, we will cease to process the personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

    7.8 You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling for direct marketing purposes). If you make such an objection, we will cease to process your personal data for this purpose.

    7.9 You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes on grounds relating to your particular situation, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

    7.10 To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal data is:

    (a) consent; or

    (b) that the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party,

    and such processing is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data from us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. However, this right does not apply where it would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

    7.11 If you consider that our processing of your personal information infringes data protection laws, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection.

    7.12 To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal information is consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.

    7.13 You may exercise any of your rights in relation to your personal data by written notice to us at info@riposte.app.

It is important for you to remember that you are responsible for the Content that you post and share.

Riposte Code of Conduct

1. Introduction and Code of Conduct Purpose

1.1 The purpose of this Code of Conduct is to:

(a) Provide guidance to users on the appropriate use and management of content posted on the Riposte Application;

(b) Encourage good practice;

(c) Protect the safety of users, user privacy and user confidentiality;

(d) Uphold the reputation of Riposte as a safe and secure Application that encourages healthy expression by it’s users and engagement with the community overall;

(e) Ensure that users are aware that Riposte has a zero-tolerance policy for users that use the Riposte Application as a vehicle for any unacceptable ‘electronic behaviour’.

2. Riposte Supports Open and Safe Expresssion

2.1 Riposte regards the use of the Riposte Application as primarily a form of communication and relationship among individuals. Riposte believes in the expression of experiences among its users and believes that users and the community can both derive and provide important benefits from exchanges of perspective.

2.2 Riposte trusts and expects its users to exercise personal responsibility whenever they participate in using the Riposte Application. The Riposte Application enables individuals to share their insights, express their experiences and share information within the context of a community distributed conversation. Each tool and medium has proper and improper uses.

2.3 There is a difference between voicing a legitimate concern or grievance and simply badmouthing or some other form of written abuse of someone or some service. While we want users to robustly express their experiences, we draw the line at conduct that may make someone feel unsafe, seriously distressed, or that could otherwise cause them harm.

2.4 If you have any confusion about whether to publish something on the Riposte Application, the intention is that this Code of Conduct will resolve it. If, after checking this Code of Conduct, you are still unclear, it is best to refrain from posting the content.

3. Be Who You Are

3.1 Riposte believes in transparency and honesty. Use your own voice; bring your own personality to the forefront and share your experiences in a respectful manner.

3.2 Some users post anonymously, using pseudonyms or false screen names. While Riposte encourages you to be who you are, if you do not use your real name then you must not impersonate anyone in a way that could mislead.

3.3 If you create a parody account, it must be obvious. Please refer to the Riposte Terms and Conditions for more information.

4. Respect Your Audience and Other Users

4.1 Riposte is an online community that reflects a diverse set of customs, values and points of view. We want you to feel confident to be yourself, however we want you to do this respectfully. This includes not only the obvious (no ethnic slurs, personal insults, obscenity etc) but also proper consideration of privacy and of topics that may be considered objectionable or inflammatory. Use your best judgment.

4.2 Remember that there are always consequences to what you publish. If you are about to publish something that makes you feel even slightly uncomfortable, we recommend thinking about why that is and ensuring that you are complying with this Code of Conduct.

5. Be Responsible

5.1 You have responsibility for what you publish on Riposte. Always abide by Riposte’s Code of Conduct and the Terms and Conditions.

5.2 You must respect other people’s intellectual property including trademarked names and slogans and copyrighted material. It’s best practice to assume that all content online is protected by copyright.

5.3 In addition to the laws pertaining to copyright and IP, you must respect all laws and regulations in relation to privacy (Privacy Act 1993) when publishing any content on the Riposte Application.

6. Riposte Compliance

6.1 Riposte has a zero-tolerance policy for any conduct (actual or perceived) posted on the Riposte Application that is:

(d) Illegal, or of a nature that advocates any kind of illegal activity;

(e) Related to any organised criminal organisations, or terrorist groups, or any posts or content that promote them;

6.3 Users who violate this Code of Conduct deliberately, intentionally and/or consistently may lose their Riposte account permanently.

7. Staying Secure

7.1 In the interests of your own security, we recommend that you do not publish:

(a) Any links to malicious content (e.g. malware, viruses) or illegal content;

(b) Passwords or information that may enable another person to access your Riposte account;

(c) Someone else’s personal information (e.g. their physical address) without their permission/consent.

8. Spam

8.1 You must not engage in username “squatting” or attempt to buy or sell usernames.

8.2 We do not allow:

(a) any automated engagement with Riposte (e.g. mass account creation, mass following or follower accumulation, automatic posting, posting across multiple accounts etc);

(b) any paid endorsements;

(c) users of Riposte to be spammed in anyway.

8.3 We reserve the right to reclaim usernames on behalf of businesses or individuals that hold legal claim or trademark on those usernames.

9. Reporting Posts

9.1 We are serious about protecting people from harm on Riposte and follow the safe harbour process set out in the Harmful Digital Communications Act for this reason. If you think content on Riposte is harmful, we encourage you to report the post, and if that doesn’t resolve things to your satisfaction, to contact Netsafe (see www.netsafe.org.nz).

9.2 If you see a post that you think violates this Code of Conduct, you can report it by tapping on the information icon in the bottom right corner of a post, selecting the appropriate reporting option, and filling out the report form. The information in your report is provided to the author of the post (but you can choose whether you include your name and other personally identifiable information, or your profile information, or whether you keep your complaint anonymous).

9.3 The author of a post must respond to a report within 48 hours of the post being reported, either by deleting the post, making it “private” (which means nobody but the author can see that post) or requesting to leave it as is.  A copy of the response is sent to the person that reported the post.

9.4 If the author does not respond to the report within 48 hours, we will make the post “private”. If the author chooses to leave the post as is, we will review the post, and decide to either make the post “private”, or leave it as is, depending on what we think is appropriate (and in compliance with the law).

9.5 If the author thinks a report is an abuse of process they may also report it to us and we will follow the same response and review process.

9.6 If a post is reported multiple times, we may make it “private” automatically.

9.7 We reiterate that any users who violate this Code of Conduct deliberately, intentionally and/or consistently may lose their Riposte account permanently.
