PRIVACY POLICY.
GATHERING, USE
AND DISCLOSURE OF NON-PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION
Users of the
Website Generally
“Non-Personally-Identifying
Information” is information that, without the aid of additional information,
cannot be directly associated with a specific person. “Personally-Identifying
Information,” by contrast, is information such as a name or email address that,
without more, can be directly associated with a specific person. Like most
website operators, Company gathers from users of the Website
Non-Personally-Identifying Information of the sort that Web browsers, depending
on their settings, may make available. That information includes the user’s
Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type and the
locations of the websites the user views right before arriving at, while
navigating and immediately after leaving the Website. Although such information
is not Personally-Identifying Information, it may be possible for Company to
determine from an IP address a user’s Internet service provider and the
geographic location of the visitor’s point of connectivity as well as other
statistical usage data. Company analyzes Non-Personally-Identifying Information
gathered from users of the Website to help Company better understand how the
Website is being used. By identifying patterns and trends in usage, Company is
able to better design the Website to improve users’ experiences, both in terms
of content and ease of use. From time to time, Company may also release the
Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from Website users in the
aggregate, such as by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the
Website.
Web Cookies
A “Web Cookie”
is a string of information which assigns you a unique identification that a
website stores on a user’s computer, and that the user’s browser provides to
the website each time the user submits a query to the website. We use cookies
on the Website to keep track of services you have used, to record registration
information regarding your login name and password, to record your user
preferences, to keep you logged into the Website and to facilitate purchase
procedures. Company also uses Web Cookies to track the pages that users visit
during each Website session, both to help Company improve users’ experiences
and to help Company understand how the Website is being used. As with other
Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from users of the Website,
Company analyzes and discloses in aggregated form information gathered using
Web Cookies, so as to help Company, its partners and others better understand
how the Website is being used. COMPANY USERS WHO DO NOT WISH TO HAVE WEB
COOKIES PLACED ON THEIR COMPUTERS SHOULD SET THEIR BROWSERS TO REFUSE WEB
COOKIES BEFORE ACCESSING THE WEBSITE, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT CERTAIN
FEATURES OF THE WEBSITE MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WITHOUT THE AID OF WEB
COOKIES. WEBSITE USERS WHO REFUSE WEB COOKIES ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY
RESULTING LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY.
Third-Party
Advertisers
We may use
third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the Website.
These companies may use information (not including any Personally-Identifying
Information) about your visits to the Website and other websites that are
contained in Web Cookies in order to provide advertisements about goods and
services of interest to you. Using a tool created by the Network Advertising
Initiative, you can opt out of several third-party ad servers’ and
networks’ Web Cookies simultaneously. If you would like more information about
this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used
by these companies, please follow the following links: http://networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp, http://preferences-mgr.truste.com/, or http://www.aboutads.info/choices/. Please contact us if you would
like to know the identity of the third-party advertising companies we are
currently using to serve ads.
We may allow
advertisers to choose the characteristics of users who will see their
advertisements, and we may use any of the Non-Personally Identifying
Information we have collected (including information you may have decided not
to show to other users, such as your birth year or other sensitive personal
information or preferences) to select the appropriate audience for those
advertisements. We do not identify you to the advertiser.
Web Beacons
A “Web Beacon”
is an object that is embedded in a web page or email that is usually invisible
to the user and allows website operators to check whether a user has viewed a
particular web page or an email. Company may use Web Beacons on the Website and
in emails to count users who have visited particular pages, viewed emails and
to deliver co-branded services. Web Beacons are not used to access users’
Personally-Identifying Information. They are a technique Company may use to
compile aggregated statistics about Website usage. Web Beacons collect only a
limited set of information, including a Web Cookie number, time and date of a
page or email view and a description of the page or email on which the Web
Beacon resides. You may not decline Web Beacons. However, they can be rendered
ineffective by declining all Web Cookies or modifying your browser setting to
notify you each time a Web Cookie is tendered, permitting you to accept or
decline Web Cookies on an individual basis.
Analytics
We may use
third-party vendors, including Google, who use first-party cookies (such as the
Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick
cookie) together to inform, optimize and serve ads based on your past activity
on the Website, including Google Analytics for Display Advertising. The
information collected may be used to, among other things, analyze and track
data, determine the popularity of certain content and better understand online
activity. If you do not want any information to be collected and used by Google
Analytics, you can install an opt-out in your web browser
(https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/) and/or opt out from Google
Analytics for Display Advertising or the Google Display Network by using
Google’s Ads Settings (www.google.com/settings/ads).
Aggregated and
Non-Personally-Identifying Information
We may share
aggregated and Non-Personally Identifying Information we collect under any of
the above circumstances. We may also share it with third parties and our
affiliate companies to develop and deliver targeted advertising on the Website
and on websites of third parties. We may combine Non-Personally Identifying
Information we collect with additional Non-Personally Identifying Information
collected from other sources. We also may share aggregated information with
third parties, including advisors, advertisers and investors, for the purpose
of conducting general business analysis. For example, we may tell our
advertisers the number of visitors to the Website and the most popular features
or services accessed. This information does not contain any
Personally-Identifying Information and may be used to develop website content
and services that we hope you and other users will find of interest and to
target content and advertising.
Mobile Device
Additional Terms
• Mobile
Device. If you use a mobile device to access the Website or download any
of our applications, we may collect device information (such as your mobile
device ID, model and manufacturer), operating system, version information and
IP address.
•
Geo-Location Information. Unless we have received your prior consent, we
do not access or track any location-based information from your mobile device
at any time while downloading or using our mobile application or our services,
except that it may be possible for Company to determine from an IP address the
geographic location of your point of connectivity, in which case we may gather
and use such general location data.
• Push
Notifications. We send you push notifications if you choose to receive
them, letting you know when someone has sent you a message or for other
service-related matters. If you wish to opt-out from receiving these types of
communications, you may turn them off in your device’s settings.
• Mobile
Analytics. We use mobile analytics software to allow us to better
understand the functionality of our mobile software on your phone. This
software may record information, such as how often you use the application, the
events that occur within the application, aggregated usage, performance data
and where the application was downloaded from. We do not link the information
we store within the analytics software to any Personally-Identifying
Information you submit within the mobile application.
SOCIAL
MEDIA
We may provide
you the option to connect your account on the Website to your account on some
social networking sites for the purpose of logging in, uploading information or
enabling certain features on the Website. When logging in using your social
network credentials, we may collect the Personally-Identifying Information you
have made publicly available on the social networking site, such as your name,
profile picture, cover photo, username, gender, friends network, age range,
locale, friend list and any other information you have made public. Once
connected, other users may also be able to see information about your social
network, such as the size of your network and your friends, including common
friends. By connecting your account on the Website to your account on any social
networking site, you hereby consent to the continuous release of information
about you to us. We will not send any of your account information to the
connected social networking site without first disclosing that to you. Each
social network may further allow you to set privacy controls around your
information on their system, and our collection of information will always
follow such controls and permissions. This feature is subject to continuous
change and improvement by us and each social networking site involved, and
therefore the available features and shared information are subject to change
without notice to you.
We may use
hyperlinks on the Website which will redirect you to a social network if you
click on the respective link. However, when you click on a social plug-in, such
as Facebook’s “Like” button, Twitter’s “tweet” button or the Google+, that
particular social network’s plugin will be activated and your browser will
directly connect to that provider’s servers. If you do not use these buttons,
none of your data will be sent to the respective social network’s plugin
provider. So for example, when you click on the Facebook’s “Like” button on the
Website, Facebook will receive your IP address, the browser version and screen
resolution, and the operating system of the device you have used to access the
Website. Settings regarding privacy protection can be found on the websites of
these social networks and are not within our control.
COLLECTION, USE
AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION

As defined
above, Personally-Identifying Information is information that can be directly
associated with a specific person. Company may collect a range of

business with us, financial information such as your payment method (valid
credit card number, type, expiration date or other financial information). We
also may request information about your interests and activities, your gender,
age, date of birth, username, hometown and other demographic or relevant

are under no obligation to provide Company with Personally-Identifying
Information of any kind, with the caveat that a user’s refusal to do so may
prevent the user from using certain Website features.

DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION” SECTION.
Online Postings
Certain
Personally-Identifying Information collected from users may be disclosed as a
matter of course as a result of your use of the Website. We may provide areas
on the Website where you can post reviews and other information relating to
your activities on the Website. Such postings are governed by our Terms of
Use. In addition, such postings may appear on other websites or when searches
are executed on the subject of your posting. Also, whenever you voluntarily
disclose personal information on publicly-viewable web pages, that information
will be publicly available and can be collected and used by others. For
example, if you post your email address, you may receive unsolicited messages.
We cannot control who reads your posting or what other users may do with the
information you voluntarily post, so we encourage you to exercise discretion
and caution with respect to your personal information. USERS ASSUME ALL
RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSS OF PRIVACY OR OTHER HARM RESULTING FROM THEIR
VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION.

occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications
regarding new services offered by the Website that we think you may find

through the general operation of the service. Generally, you may opt out of
such emails at the time of registration or through your account settings,
though we reserve the right to send you notices about your account, such as
service announcements and administrative messages, even if you opt out of all
voluntary email notifications.

COLLECTION AND
USE OF INFORMATION BY THIRD PARTIES GENERALLY
Company
contractually prohibits its contractors, affiliates, vendors and suppliers from
disclosing Personally-Identifying Information received from Company, other than

Personally-Identifying Information that users provide directly to those third
parties, or that those third parties collect for themselves. These third
parties include advertisers, providers of games, utilities, widgets and a
variety of other third-party applications accessible through the Website.
Company neither owns nor controls the third-party websites and applications
accessible through the Website. Thus, this Privacy Policy does not apply to

Before visiting a third party, or using a third-party application, whether by
means of a link on the Website, directly through the Website or otherwise, and
before providing any Personally-Identifying Information to any such third

take those steps necessary to, in those users’ discretion, protect their
privacy.
SECURITY
We take the
security of your Personally-Identifying Information seriously and use
reasonable electronic, personnel and physical measures to protect it from loss,
theft, alteration or misuse. However, please be advised that even the
best security measures cannot fully eliminate all risks. We cannot guarantee
that only authorized persons will view your information. We are not responsible
for third-party circumvention of any privacy settings or security
measures.
We are dedicated
to protect all information on the Website as is necessary. However, you are
responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Personally-Identifying
Information by keeping your password confidential. You should change your
password immediately if you believe someone has gained unauthorized access to
it or your account. If you lose control of your account, you should notify us
immediately.

discretion, decide to notify users of changes made to this Privacy Policy via

The Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") protects the online privacy

Information through the Website represents to us that he or she is 13 years of
age or older. If we learn that Personally-Identifying Information has been
collected from a user under 13 years of age on or through the Website, then we

are the parent or legal guardian of a child under 13 who has become a member of
