safety of others, we may share your information as permitted or required by any
applicable law, rule, or regulation.
This includes exchanging information with other entities for fraud
protection and credit risk reduction.
We may share your information

With your consent, or with an
opportunity for you to withdraw consent, we may share your information with
third parties for marketing purposes, as permitted by law.
If you interact with other
users of the Application, those users may see your name, profile photo, and
descriptions of your activity, including sending invitations to other users,
chatting with other users, liking posts, following blogs.
When you post comments,
contributions or other content to the Applications, your posts may be viewed by
all users and may be publicly distributed outside the Application in perpetuity
We may use third-party
advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the Application. These
companies may use information about your visits to the Application and other
websites that are contained in web cookies in order to provide advertisements
about goods and services of interest to you.
We may share your information

The
Application may display a third-party-hosted “offer wall.” Such an offer wall allows third-party
advertisers to offer virtual currency, gifts, or other items to users in return
for acceptance and completion of an advertisement offer. Such an offer wall may appear in the
Application and be displayed to you based on certain data, such as your
geographic area or demographic information.
When you click on an offer wall, you will leave the Application. A unique identifier, such as your user ID,
will be shared with the offer wall provider in order to prevent fraud and
properly credit your account.

analysis. We may also share your information with such third parties for
marketing purposes, as permitted by law.
If we reorganize or sell all
or a portion of our assets, undergo a merger, or are acquired by another
entity, we may transfer your information to the successor entity. If we go out of business or enter bankruptcy,
your information would be an asset transferred or acquired by a third
party. You acknowledge that such
transfers may occur and that the transferee may decline honor commitments we
made in this Privacy Policy.
We are not responsible for
the actions of third parties with whom you share personal or sensitive data,
and we have no authority to manage or control third-party solicitations. If you no longer wish to receive
correspondence, emails or other communications from third parties, you are
responsible for contacting the third party directly.
We may use cookies, web
beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies on the Application to
help customize the Application and improve your experience. When you access the
Application, your personal information is not collected through the use of
tracking technology. Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You
can remove or reject cookies, but be aware that such action could affect the
availability and functionality of the Application. You may not decline web
beacons. However, they can be rendered ineffective by declining all cookies or
by modifying your web browser’s settings to notify you each time a cookie is
tendered, permitting you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis.
Additionally, we may use
third-party software to serve ads on the Application, implement email marketing
campaigns, and manage other interactive marketing initiatives. This third-party software may use cookies or
similar tracking technology to help manage and optimize your online experience
with us. For more information about
opting-out of interest-based ads, visit the Network
Advertising Initiative Opt-Out Tool or Digital
Advertising Alliance Opt-Out Tool.
We may also partner with
selected third-party vendors, such as Cloudfare, Google Analytics, and others, to allow
tracking technologies and remarketing services on the Application through the
use of first party cookies and third-party cookies, to, among other things,
analyze and track users’ use of the Application, determine the popularity of
certain content, and better understand online activity. By accessing the
Application, you consent to the collection and use of your information by these
third-party vendors. You are encouraged to review their privacy policy and
contact them directly for responses to your questions. We do not transfer
personal information to these third-party vendors. However, if you do not want

Google
Analytics Opt-Out Plugin

Advertising Initiative Opt-Out Tool
You should be aware that
getting a new computer, installing a new browser, upgrading an existing
browser, or erasing or otherwise altering your browser’s cookies files may also
clear certain opt-out cookies, plug-ins, or settings.
The Application may contain
links to third-party websites and applications of interest, including
advertisements and external services, that are not affiliated with us. Once you
have used these links to leave the Application, any information you provide to
these third parties is not covered by this Privacy Policy, and we cannot
guarantee the safety and privacy of your information. Before visiting and
providing any information to any third-party websites, you should inform
yourself of the privacy policies and practices (if any) of the third party
responsible for that website, and should take those steps necessary to, in your
discretion, protect the privacy of your information. We are not responsible for
the content or privacy and security practices and policies of any third
parties, including other sites, services or applications that may be linked to
or from the Application.
We use administrative,
technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal
information. While we have taken
reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please
be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or
impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any
interception or other type of misuse.
Any information disclosed online is vulnerable to interception and
misuse by unauthorized parties.
Therefore, we cannot guarantee complete security if you provide personal
information.
We do not knowingly solicit information
from or market to children under the age of 13. If you become aware of any data we have collected from children under age 13, please

Most web browsers and some
mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you
can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your
online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing
and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently
respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically
communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted
that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a
revised version of this Privacy Policy.
