information about users who view or interact with their advertisements.
We do not provide any non-anonymized personal information to third
parties. Some of these third- party advertising companies may be
advertising networks that are members of the Network Advertising
Initiative, which offers a single location to opt out of ad targeting from
member companies (www.networkadvertising.org). Opting out will not
decrease the number of advertisements you see.

information:
▪ 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 exercise our legal rights; to
defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. In
such cases, we may raise or waive any legal objection or right
available to us.

efforts to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding illegal
activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing; to protect and
defend the rights, property or safety of our company, our users, our
employees, or others; to comply with applicable law or cooperate
with law enforcement; or to enforce our Terms of Use or other

sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.
◦ Aggregated and/or non-personal information. We may use and share non-personal
information we collect under any of the above circumstances. We may also share
it with third parties to develop and deliver targeted advertising on our Service and
on websites or applications of third parties, and to analyze and report on
advertising you see. We may combine non-personal information we collect with
additional non- personal information collected from other sources. We also may
share aggregated, non-personal information, or personal information in hashed,
non-human readable form, with third parties, including advisors, advertisers and
investors, for the purpose of conducting general business analysis or other
business purposes. For example, we may engage a data provider who may collect

third parties as described in this Privacy Policy, retention of that information will
be subject to those third parties' policies.

6 How we protect your personal information We take security measures to help safeguard
your personal information from unauthorized access and disclosure. However, no system
can be completely secure. Therefore, although we take steps to secure your information,
we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information, chats, or
other communications will always remain secure. Users should also take care with how
they handle and disclose their personal information and should avoid sending personal
information through insecure email. Please refer to the Federal Trade Commission's
website at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/menus/consumer/data.shtm for information about how
to protect yourself against identity theft.

Service where you can post information about yourself and others and communicate with
others. Such postings are governed by our Terms of Use . Also, whenever you voluntarily
disclose personal information on publicly-viewable 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.

of our service to individuals age 13 and above. We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or
