This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and apply the information collected when you use or access our website, products, services, or applications that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”). Our Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are expressly incorporated herein by reference and are an integral part hereof.

By using the Services or interacting with us, you are agreeing to this Privacy Policy. Please read the following carefully to understand how we collect, use, disclose, and maintain information that can be used to identify you. In addition, this Privacy Policy describes your choices for use, access, and correction of your personal information. If you do not agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy, please stop using the Services.

1.         Changes to this Privacy Policy. We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. Laws, regulations, and industry standards evolve, which may make those changes necessary, or we may make changes to our Services. We will post the changes to this page and encourage you to review this Privacy Policy to stay informed. If we make changes that materially alter your privacy rights, we may provide additional notice, such as via email or through the Services. If you disagree with the changes to this Privacy Policy, you should deactivate your Services account.

2.         Information We Collect and Receive. We collect information about you when you create an account and use the Services. We also collect information you share with us from third-party social network providers, and technical and behavioral information about your use of the Services. We also collect information contained in the messages you send through our Services and information from your phone book, if you grant us access to your phone book on your mobile device. More information about the categories and sources of information is provided below.

Contact information you provide may be used to reach you about the sweepstakes or contest and for other promotional, marketing and business purposes, if permitted by law. In some jurisdictions, we are required to publicly share information of winners.

                        2.1.5    Social Media Data. We have pages on social media sites like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube (“Social Media Pages”). When you interact with our Social Media Pages, we will collect personal data that you elect to provide to us, such as your contact details.

            2.2       Information We Obtain from Others. We may supplement the information we have about you with information received from other sources including from our Social Media Pages, social media websites themselves, and from other publicly available sources. Your activity on other websites and applications may be associated with your personal information in order to improve and customize our Services.

            2.3       Information We Automatically Collect. We automatically collect certain information from you when you use the Services, including internet or other network activity information such as your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, unique device identifiers, browsing and search history (including content you have viewed in the Services), and cookies and other technologies.

                        2.3.1    Automatic Data Collection. In order to improve, personalize, and optimize our Services and meet our legal obligations, we may automatically track certain information about your visits to and usage of our Services, including your browser type, operating system, IP address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), device identifier, domain name, clickstream data, referring/exist pages, geolocation, and a date/time stamp for your visit. We also use this information to analyze trends, administer the Services, gather demographic information about our user base, deliver advertising, perform research, provide technical and customer support, inform our product development efforts, protect our legal rights, address disputes, and prevent our Services from being used to commit harmful or unlawful activities, including fraud. Some of this information may also be collected so that when you use the Services again, we will be able to recognize you and optimize your experience accordingly.

                        2.3.2    Device Information. We may collect information about the devices you use to access our Services, including the hardware models, operating systems and versions, software, file names and versions, preferred languages, unique device identifiers, advertising identifiers, serial numbers, device motion information, and mobile network information.

                        2.3.3    Messages. We collect and process, which includes scanning and analyzing, information you provide in the context of composing, sending, or receiving message through the Services’ messaging functionality. That information includes the content of the message and information about when the message has been sent, received and/or read, as well as the participants of the communication. Please be aware that messages sent to other users of the Services will be accessible by those users and that we are not responsible for the manner in which those users use or disclose messages.

                        2.3.4    Metadata. When you upload content, you automatically upload certain metadata that is connected to the content. Metadata describes other data and provides information about your content that will not always be evident to the viewer. In connection with your content, the metadata can describe how, when, and by whom the piece of content was collected and how that content is formatted. It also includes information, such as your account name, that enables other users to trace back the content to your user account. Additionally, metadata will consist of data that you chose to provide with your content, e.g. any hashtags used to mark keywords to the video and captions.

                        2.3.5    Crash and Error Information. If the Services crash or return an error, we may collect data to determine the cause of the error using first or third party services. The crash or error information collected may include the following: Device IP address, device name, operating system version, application configurations(s), the time and date, and other statistics.

                        2.3.6    Cookies. Like many online services, we use “cookies” to collect technical information. Cookies are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the website. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Services. We may use cookies to collect information about your IP address, browser type, operating system, device type and identifiers, platform type, as well as your usage of and activity on and the performance of our Services. These types of information are collected to make the Services more useful to you and to tailor your online experience to meet your interests and expectations. 

                        2.3.7    Other Technologies. In addition, we use “pixel tags” (also referred to as clear gifs, web beacons, or web bugs). Pixel tags are tiny graphic images with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, that are used to track online movements of web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a computer’s hard drive or web browser, pixel tags are embedded invisibly in web pages. Pixel tags are often used in combination with cookies, trigger the placing of cookies, and transmit information to us or our service providers. This enables two websites to share information. The resulting connection can include information such as a device’s IP address, the time a person viewed the pixel, an identifier associated with the browser or device, the type of browser being used and the URL of the web page from which the pixel was viewed. Pixel tags also allow us to send email messages in a format that users can read, tell us whether emails have been opened, and help to ensure we are sending only messages that may be of interest to our users. We may also use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to a user.

                        2.3.8    Analytics. We may also use Google Analytics and other service providers to collect information regarding visitor behavior and visitor demographics on our Services. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can opt out of Google’s collection and processing of data generated by your use of the Services by going to http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
