The following Company privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) is designed to inform you, as a user of the
Website, about the types of information that Company may gather about or collect from you in connection
with your use of the Website. It also is intended to explain the conditions under which Company uses and
discloses that information, and your rights in relation to that information. Changes to this Privacy Policy

The Website is hosted in the United States of America and is subject to U.S. state and federal law. If you

THIS 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.
 
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.
 
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
 
Website Registration
 
As defined above, Personally-Identifying Information is information that can be directly associated with a
specific person. Company may collect a range of Personally-Identifying Information from and about
Website users. Much of the Personally-Identifying Information collected by Company about users is
information provided by users themselves when (1) registering for our service, (2) logging in with social
network credentials, (3) participating in polls, contests, surveys or other features of our service, or
responding to offers or advertisements, (4) communicating with us, (5) creating a public profile or (6)
signing up to receive newsletters. That information may include each user’s name, address, email
address and telephone number, and, if you transact 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 information as determined by Company from time to time.
Users of the Website 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.
 
BY REGISTERING WITH OR USING THE WEBSITE, YOU CONSENT TO THE USE AND
DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION AS DESCRIBED IN THIS
“COLLECTION, USE AND 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.
 
Company Communications
 
We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding new services
offered by the Website that we think you may find valuable. We may also send you service-related
announcements from time to time 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.
 
Company Disclosures
 
Company will disclose Personally-Identifying Information under the following circumstances:
 
•   By Law or to Protect Rights. When we believe disclosure is appropriate, we may disclose

applicable law or cooperate with law enforcement; to enforce our Terms of Use or other
agreements or policies, in response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order
or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other government agency; to establish or

purpose.
 
•  Business Transfers; Bankruptcy. Company reserves the right to transfer all Personally-
Identifying Information in its possession to a successor organization in the event of a merger,

Personally-Identifying Information will be subject to this Privacy Policy, or to a new privacy policy
if you are given notice of that new privacy policy and are given an opportunity to affirmatively opt-

to manage our business.
 
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 in accordance with this Privacy
Policy. However, third parties are under no obligation to comply with this Privacy Policy with respect to
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 information provided to or gathered by the third parties that operate
them. 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 party, users should inform themselves of the privacy policies and practices
(if any) of the third party responsible for that website or application, and should 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.
 
 
PRIVACY POLICY CHANGES
 
Company may, in its sole discretion, change this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any and all changes to
Company’s Privacy Policy will be reflected on this page and the date new versions are posted will be
stated at the top of this Privacy Policy. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all
information that we have about you and your account. Users should regularly check this page for any
changes to this Privacy Policy. Company will always post new versions of the Privacy Policy on the
Website. However, Company may, as determined in its discretion, decide to notify users of changes
made to this Privacy Policy via email or otherwise. Accordingly, it is important that users always maintain
and update their contact information.
 
CHILDREN
 
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") protects the online privacy of children under 13
years of age. We do not knowingly collect or maintain Personally-Identifying Information from anyone
under the age of 13, unless or except as permitted by law. Any person who provides Personally-
Identifying 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 will take the appropriate steps to cause this information to be deleted. If
you are the parent or legal guardian of a child under 13 who has become a member of the Website or has
otherwise transferred Personally-Identifying Information to the Website, please contact Company using
our contact information below to have that child's account terminated and information deleted.
