OUR
TERMS & CONDITIONS WITH PRIVACY POLICY
How We Collect and Use Information
Information you provide us
directly such as username, real name, or email address is used to respond to
you when you register with this site so we may either correspond with you or
us. We use this information to operate, maintain, and provide to you the
features and functionality of the Service. Your username and if you choose to
disclose it, your real name, will be published publicly in areas such as a blog
or newsletter. Once published your username and / or real name may not be able
to be removed.
Information
we may receive from third parties:
We may receive information about you
from third parties. For example, if you access our websites or Service through
a third-party connection or log-in, for example, through Facebook Connect, by
“following,” “liking,” or forwarding a link, etc., that third party may pass
certain information about your use. This information could include, but is not
limited to, the user ID associated with your account (for example, your
Facebook UID), an access token necessary to access that service, any
information that you have permitted the third party to share with us, and any
information you have made public in connection with that service. If you allow
us access to your friends list, your friends’ user IDs, and your connection to
those friends, may be used and stored to make your experience more social, and
to allow you to invite your friends to use our Service as well as provide you with
updates if and when your friends join This Site. You should always review, and
if necessary, adjust your privacy settings on third-party websites and services
before linking or connecting them to the This Site Service. You may also unlink
your third-party account from the Service by adjusting your settings on the
third party service.
Inviting
a friend to use This Site:
This Site may, in its sole
discretion, develop a feature that allows you to invite third parties to the
Service. If you choose to use our invitation service to invite a third party to
the Service through our “Invite friends” feature, you may directly choose a
friend to invite through your mobile device’s native contact list – but we do
not require that you import your contacts list to the Service, and we do not
retain the information contained in your contacts list. You understand that by
inviting a friend to This Site through the “Invite friends” feature, you are
directly sending a text or email from your personal accounts and that we are not
storing your contact list. In addition, you understand and agree that normal
carrier charges apply to communications sent from your phone. Since this
invitation is coming directly from your email or phone, we do not have access
to or control this communication.
Finding
your friends on the Service:
This Site may, in its sole
discretion, develop a feature that allows you to locate your friends with This
Site accounts through a “Find friends” feature. The “Find friends” feature
allows you to choose to locate friends either through (i) your contact list,
(ii) social media sites (such as Twitter or Facebook) or (iii) through a search
of names and usernames on This Site. If you choose to find your friends through
your contact list, then you agree to provide This Site access to your contact
list such that we can perform the search necessary to determine whether or not
someone associated with the information you provide is using This Site. If you
choose to find your friends through social media sites, then you understand
that the information these sites provide to use to conduct this type of search
is governed by their privacy policies and your account settings on those sites.
If you choose to find your friends through a search of names or usernames, then
simply type a name to search and see if that name or username appears on our
Service. Note that we do not retain any information contained in your contacts
list, or information from social media sites about your contacts, and we do not
use such information for any purpose other than to help you find your friends
on This Site.
Analytics
information:
We may directly collect analytics
data, or use third-party analytics tools and services, to help us measure
traffic and usage trends for the Service. These tools collect information sent
by your browser or mobile device, including the pages you visit and other
information that assists us in improving the Service. We collect and use this
analytics information in aggregate form such that it cannot reasonably be
manipulated to identify any particular individual user.
Cookies
information:
Full details can be found on our
Cookie Policy. When you visit the Service, we may send one or more cookies — a
small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters — to your
computer that uniquely identifies your browser and lets This Site help you log
in faster and enhance your navigation through the site. A cookie may also
convey information to us about how you use the Service (e.g., the pages you
view, the links you click and other actions you take on the Service), and allow
us or our business partners to track your usage of the Service over time. A
persistent cookie remains on your hard drive after you close your browser.
Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the
site. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser’s
directions. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your
browser. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate
when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the Service may not
function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled. Full details
can be found on our Cookie Policy.
Log
file information:
Log file information is
automatically reported by your browser or mobile device each time you access
the Service. When you use our Service, our servers automatically record certain
log file information. These server logs may include anonymous information such
as your web request, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, referring
/ exit pages and URLs, number of clicks and how you interact with links on the
Service, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information.
Clear
gifs/web beacons information:
When you use the Service, we may
employ clear gifs (also known as web beacons) which are used to anonymously
track the online usage patterns of our Users. In addition, we may also use
clear gifs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are
opened and which links are clicked by recipients. The information allows for
more accurate reporting and improvement of the Service.
Device
identifiers:
When you access the Service by or
through a mobile device (including but not limited to smart-phones or tablets),
we may access, collect, monitor and/or remotely store one or more “device
identifiers,” such as a universally unique identifier (“UUID”). Device
identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or
associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device.
A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware,
data stored in connection with the device’s operating system or other software,
or data sent to the device by This Site. A device identifier may convey information
to us about how you browse and use the Service. A device identifier may remain
persistently on your device, to help you log in faster and enhance your
navigation through the Service. Some features of the Service may not function
properly if use or availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled.
Location
data:
When you access the Service by or
through a mobile device, we may access, collect, monitor and/or remotely store
“location data,” which may include GPS coordinates (e.g. latitude and/or
longitude) or similar information regarding the location of your mobile device.
Location data may convey to us information about how you browse and use the
Service. Some features of the Service, particularly location-based services,
may not function properly if use or availability of location data is impaired
or disabled.
Commercial
and marketing communications:
We use the information we collect or
receive, such as your email address, to communicate directly with you. We may
send you emails containing newsletters, promotions, and special offers. If you
do not want to receive such email messages, you will be given the option to opt
out or change your preferences. We also use your information to send you
Service-related emails (e.g., account verification, purchase and billing
confirmations and reminders, changes/updates to features of the Service,
technical and security notices). You may not opt out of Service-related emails.
You may also be able to be “found” on This Site based on information that you provide
(see “Find friends on This Site”) above.
Use
of certain service type information we collect about you:
We use or may use cookies, log file,
device identifiers, location data and clear gifs information to: (a) remember
information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the
next time you visit the site; (b) provide custom, personalized content and
information; (c) to provide and monitor the effectiveness of our Service; (d)
monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, traffic, and
demographic patterns; (e) diagnose or fix technology problems; (f) help you
efficiently access your information after you sign in; (g) to provide
advertising to your browser or device, and (h) automatically update the This
Site application on your mobile devices.
Sharing of Your Information
We will not rent or sell your
information into third parties outside This Site and its group companies
(including any parent, subsidiaries and affiliates) without your consent,
except as noted below:
- Who we may share your information with: We may share your information with third-party business partners and Trusted users for the purpose of providing service to you. Third party business partners will be given limited access to your information as is reasonably necessary to deliver the Service, and we will require that such third parties comply with this Privacy Policy, or operate under a similar privacy policy.
- Who can see User Content: Any User Content that you voluntarily disclose for posting to the Service becomes available to the public and cannot be removed, except by This Site in its sole discretion. Once posted on This Site, User Content may not be removable from public view, as copies may remain viewable in cached and archived pages of the Service, on other sites that have republished us, or if other Users have copied or saved that information. If you do not wish your User Content to be available to the public, please don’t post it on This Site. Your username and if you choose to disclose it, your real name, will be published publicly. Once published your username and / or real name may not be able to be removed.
- Who can see your IP address: If you post User Content on the Service while not logged in, your IP address will be published with your User Content in order to attribute your contribution to the Service. A selection of Trusted Users with administrative powers on This Site have the ability to review IP addresses of users to reduce abusive behavior. Any third party service embedded on This Site such as an advertiser, video provider, social network or other third party will also have access to your IP address.
- Who can see your email address: If you enter an email address, you will enable communication from This Site and other Users. If you reply to users or participate in group This Site activities such as meetups, your email address will be shared with these users. In addition, some email addresses such as blocked@This Site.com forward to a group of Trusted Users, who will use your email address to reply to the email.
What
happens in the event of a change of control:
We may buy or sell/divest/transfer
the company (including any shares in the company), or any combination of its
products, services, assets and/or businesses. Your information such as customer
names and email addresses, User Content and other user information related to
the Service may be among the items sold or otherwise transferred in these types
of transactions. We may also sell, assign or otherwise transfer such
information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, acquisitions,
bankruptcies, dissolutions, reorganizations, liquidations, similar transactions
or proceedings involving all or a portion of the company.
Instances
where we are required to share your information:
This Site will disclose your
information where required to do so by law or subpoena or if we reasonably
believe that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law and the
reasonable requests of law enforcement; (b) to enforce our Terms of Use or to
protect the security, quality or integrity of our Service; and/or (c) to exercise
or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of This Site, our Users, or
others.
Sharing
certain service type information we collect about you:
We may share certain service type
information, including information obtained through tools such as cookies, log
files, device identifiers, location data and clear gifs (such as anonymous
usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks,
etc.): (i) with our third-party business partners for the purposes described in
the section above on “How We Collect and Use Information.” We may also
aggregate or otherwise strip data of all personally identifying characteristics
and may share that aggregated, anonymized data with third parties.
Ads
on This Site:
We may also share certain information
such as your location, browser, and cookie data and other data relating to your
use of our Service with our business partners to deliver advertisements (“ads”)
that may be of interest to you. This Site may allow third-party ad servers or
ad networks to serve advertisements on the Service. These third-party ad
servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser or
mobile device, the ads and ad links that appear on the Service, and will
automatically receive your IP address when they do so. They may also use other
technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, device identifiers, location data,
and clear gifs, see above) to compile information about your browser’s or
device’s visits and usage patterns on the Service and on other websites, and to
measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize the advertising
content delivered to you.
For example, Google uses DART
cookies in order to deliver ads to you through the Service. Google's use of the
DART cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit
to the Service and previous websites that you may have visited. Other
advertising networks also use similar cookies, clear gifs, or other mechanisms
to deliver targeted advertising to you through the Service. You can delete
these cookies by following the instructions here: http://www.This
Site.com/Clear-Your-Browser%27s-Cookies . You may opt out of use of Google’s
DART cookie and cookies placed by Network Advertising Initiative (NAI)
certified ad networks here: http://www. http://optout.networkadvertising.org/#!/.
Opting out of these cookies will be effective not only on the Service, but on
all websites with NAI certified advertising networks. However, these opt-outs
will be ineffective on networks that are not NAI certified.
Please note that an advertiser may
ask This Site to show an ad to a certain audience of Users (e.g., based on
demographics or other interests). In that situation, This Site or our Partners
determines the target audience and This Site serves the advertising to that
audience and only provides anonymous data to the advertiser. If you respond to
such an ad, the advertiser or ad server may conclude that you fit the
description of the audience they are trying to reach.
To enhance your user experience or
help us improve and measure our effectiveness, This Site may embed code from
third parties on the Service. Examples of such parties may include Facebook,
Twitter, Pinterest, Google, YouTube, Howcast, VideoJug, AOL, and others. These
third parties may collect information about you including IP address, cookies
in ways This Site does not control.
The This Site Privacy Policy does
not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of third-parties. Please
consult the respective privacy policies of such third parties or contact such
third parties for more information.
How
We Store and Protect Your Information
Storage
and Processing:
Your information collected through
the Service may be stored and processed in the United States or any other
country in which This Site or its subsidiaries, affiliates, or service
providers maintain facilities. This Site may transfer information that we
collect about you, including personal information, to affiliated entities, or
to other third parties across borders and from your country or jurisdiction to
other countries or jurisdictions around the world. If you are located in the
European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use
that may differ from U.S. law, please note that we may transfer information,
including personal information, to a country and jurisdiction that does not
have the same data protection laws as your jurisdiction, and you consent to the
transfer of information to the U.S. or any other country in which This Site or
its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, or service providers maintain facilities
and the use and disclosure of information about you as described in this
Privacy Policy.
Keeping
your information safe:
This Site cares about the security
of your information, and uses commercially reasonable safeguards to preserve
the integrity and security of all information collected through the Service. To
protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps (such as requesting
a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you access to your
account. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique
password and account information, and for controlling access to your email
communications from This Site, at all times. However, This Site cannot ensure
or warrant the security of any information you transmit to This Site or
guarantee that information on the Service may not be accessed, disclosed,
altered, or destroyed. Your privacy settings may also be affected by changes to
the functionality of third party sites and services that you add to the This
Site Service, such as social networks. This Site is not responsible for the
functionality or security measures of any third party.
Compromise
of information:
In the event that any information
under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, This Site
will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation and where appropriate,
notify those individuals whose information may have been compromised and take
other steps, in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations.
How
long we keep your private profile information:
Following termination of your User
account, This Site may retain your private profile information for a
commercially reasonable time for backup, archival, or audit purposes. For the
avoidance of doubt, any information that you choose to make public on the
service may not be removable.
Children’s
Privacy
This Site does not knowingly collect
or solicit any information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow
such persons to register as Users. The Service and its content are not directed
at children under the age of 13. In the event that we learn that we have
collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification
of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If
you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13,
please contact us at trend21bcc@gmail.com.
Links
to Other Websites and Services:
We are not responsible for the
practices employed by websites or services linked to or from the Service,
including the information or content contained therein. Please remember that
when you use a link to go from the Service to another website, our Privacy
Policy does not apply to third-party websites or services. Your browsing and
interaction on any third-party website or service, including those that have a
link or advertisement on our website, are subject to that third party’s own
rules and policies. In addition, you agree that we are not responsible and we
do not control over any third-parties that you authorize to access your User
Content. If you are using a third-party website or service (like Facebook,
Google groups, or an IRC chatroom) and you allow such a third-party access to
you User Content you do so at your own risk. This Privacy Policy does not apply
to information we collect by other means (including offline) or from other
sources other than through the Service.
