How is my Information Shared?

Personal Information about our users is an integral part of our Services. We may sell or license your Personal Information, non-personal information and aggregate information to third parties without your authorization. Certain Personal Information may also be made available to third party developers if you or your "friends" use these third party applications. You should review the policies of third party developers to ensure that you are comfortable with the ways in which they use and disclose the information you share with them. As with third party sites, we do not guarantee that third party developers will follow our rules or our Privacy Policy.

Your Personal Information could also be shared or sold as aggregated information or when anonymized by removing the personally identifying parts of your information, for example, we may share customer trend information with third parties, where that information is aggregated from sets of users and not any single user. We share this kind of aggregated data to improve and further our business and those of third party businesses, as well as to increase customer service, marketing and communications effectiveness.

Your friends may see, for example, your location, name, text messages, mood, sensory data, and any other content uploaded or shared by you, just as you can see your friends’ information. Persons who have access to this information may use it or disclose it to other individuals or entities without our control and without our knowledge. Therefore, we urge you to think carefully about including any specific information you may deem private to access and use the Services.

While we collect your sensory data, such as heart rate, we do not share that information. You can choose, however, to share your sensory data to any third party directly or through the Company’s App, but the Company Is not responsible for any sensory information you provide directly or through our App.

We may employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you. Our agents will not have any right to use Personal Information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us, and they provide a comparable level of protection for your Personal Information. We are not responsible for any information you provide to third parties directly.

We may disclose your Personal Information in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of the Company, third parties, or the public at large.

How is my Location Determined and Shared?

Determining your location - Whenever you open, use or interact with our Services through the application on your mobile device or one of our sites, we use the location information from your mobile device or browser (e.g., latitude and longitude) to tailor the Services experience to your current location. The Services also use your mobile device’s background location to provide the Services, including, to send you notifications of friends, events, or other relevant information near you. If you have ‘background location’ turned on, the Services may, from time to time, tell us about your device’s location even if you are not directly interacting with the application.

We may use various technologies to determine location, such as location services of the applicable operating system or browser, GPS, Bluetooth, i-Beacon, RFID, and sensor data from your devices, along with nearby Wi-Fi access points and cell towers, and other technologies to determine your devices' approximate location.

When using the Services, your location data, shown by graphic points on a map, distance and direction proximity, or other graphic or text method, is shared with all members of any active group or “circle” you join via the Services and is updated in real time using your background location. You can turn off location sharing in your device in which case your location will only be shared when you proactively decide to tell the Services that you are at a particular place. The Services include several features that may allow you to share your information with others. Please remember that if you choose to provide personal information using certain features of the Services, that information may be available to the wider Services community, or may be published on our Sites, which is subject to indexing by third party search engines such as Google.

You should only share your location with people you know and trust not to convey your location to others. You should also note that personal information you share with others may be forwarded, and any information you post to public areas of the Site may become publicly available. For example, information you post on any interactive areas or other information that is provided for the purpose of being shared may be made publicly available and can potentially be viewed by anyone. Your posting to such public areas of the Site constitutes your consent to share such information publicly.
