Use of Information Obtained by
Matingcall.com
When
you register with Matingcall.com, you create your own profile and
privacy settings. Your profile information, as well as your name,
email and photo, are displayed to people in the networks specified in
your privacy settings to enable you to connect with people on
Matingcall.com. We may occasionally use your name and email address
to send you notifications regarding new services offered by
Matingcall.com that we think you may find valuable.
Profile
information is used by Matingcall.com primarily to be presented back
to and edited by you when you access the service and to be presented
to others permitted to view that information by your privacy
settings. In some cases where your privacy settings permit it (i.e.
What People Say About Me), other Matingcall.com users may be able to
supplement your profile.
Profile
information you submit to Matingcall.com will be available to users
of Matingcall.com who belong to at least one of the networks you
allow to access the information through your privacy settings (e.g.,
school, geography, friends of friends). Your name, woo names, and
profile picture thumbnail will be available in search results across
the Matingcall.com network and those limited pieces of information
may be made available to third party search engines. This is
primarily so your friends can find you and send a friend request.
People who see your name in searches, however, will not be able to
access your profile information unless they have a relationship to
you (friend, friend of friend, member of your networks, etc.) that
allows such access based on your privacy settings.
Matingcall.com
may send you service-related announcements from time to time through
the general operation of the service. For instance, if a friend sends
you a new message or poke, or someone posts on your wall, you may
receive an email alerting you to that fact.
Generally,
you may opt out of such emails here, though Matingcall.com reserves
the right to send you notices about your account even if you opt out
of all voluntary email notifications.
Matingcall.com
may use information in your profile without identifying you as an
individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as
aggregating how many people in a network like a band or movie and
personalizing advertisements and promotions so that we can provide
you Matingcall.com. We believe this benefits you. You can know more
about the world around you and, where there are advertisements,
they're more likely to be interesting to you. For example, if you put
a favorite movie in your profile, we might serve you an advertisement
highlighting a screening of a similar one in your town. But we don't
tell the movie company who you are.
We
may use information about you that we collect from other sources,
including but not limited to newspapers and Internet sources such as
blogs, instant messaging services, Matingcall.com Platform developers
and other users of Matingcall.com, to supplement your profile. Where
such information is used, we generally allow you to specify in your
privacy settings that you do not want this to be done or to take
other actions that limit the connection of this information to your
profile (e.g., removing photo tag links).
Sharing Your Information with Third
Parties
Matingcall.com
is about sharing information with others — friends and people
in your networks — while providing you with privacy settings
that restrict other users from accessing your information. We allow
you to choose the information you provide to friends and networks
through Matingcall.com. Our network architecture and your privacy
settings allow you to make informed choices about who has access to
your information. We do not provide contact information to third
party marketers without your permission. We share your information
with third parties only in limited circumstances where we believe
such sharing is 1) reasonably necessary to offer the service, 2)
legally required or, 3) permitted by you. For example:
-
We may provide information to service providers to help us bring you
the services we offer. Specifically, we may use third parties to
facilitate our business, such as to host the service at a
co-location facility for servers, to send out email updates about
Matingcall.com, to remove repetitive information from our user
lists, to process payments for products or services, to offer an
online job application process, or to provide search results or
links (including sponsored links). In connection with these
offerings and business operations, our service providers may have
access to your personal information for use for a limited time in
connection with these business activities. Where we utilize third
parties for the processing of any personal information, we implement
reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of
that information to the Matingcall.com-specified purposes.
- If
you, your friends, or members of your groups use any third-party
applications developed using the Matingcall.com Platform ("Platform
Applications"), those Platform Applications may access and
share certain information about you with others in accordance with
your privacy settings. You may opt-out of any sharing of certain or
all information through Platform Applications on the Privacy
Settings page. In addition, third party developers who have created
and operate Platform Applications ("Platform Developers"),
may also have access to your personal information (excluding your
contact information) if you permit Platform Applications to access
your data. Before allowing any Platform Developer to make any
Platform Application available to you, Matingcall.com requires the
Platform Developer to enter into an agreement which, among other
things, requires them to respect your privacy settings and strictly
limits their collection, use, and storage of your information.
However, while we have undertaken contractual and technical steps to
restrict possible misuse of such information by such Platform
Developers, we of course cannot and do not guarantee that all
Platform Developers will abide by such agreements. Please note that
Matingcall.com does not screen or approve Platform Developers and
cannot control how such Platform Developers use any personal
information that they may obtain in connection with Platform
Applications. In addition, Platform Developers may require you to
sign up to their own terms of service, privacy policies or other
policies, which may give them additional rights or impose additional
obligations on you, so please make sure to review these terms and
policies carefully before using any Platform Application. You can
report any suspected misuse of information through the
Matingcall.com Platform and we will investigate any such claim and
take appropriate action against the Platform Developer up to and
including terminating their participation in the Matingcall.com
Platform and/or other formal legal action.
- We
occasionally provide demonstration accounts that allow non-users a
glimpse into the Matingcall.com world. Such accounts have only
limited capabilities (e.g., messaging is disabled) and passwords are
changed regularly to limit possible misuse.
- We
may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful
requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with
applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have a good
faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or
private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we
may share account or other information when we believe it is
necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property,
to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the
Matingcall.com service or using the Matingcall.com name, or to
prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information
with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies.
- We
let you choose to share information with marketers or electronic
commerce providers through sponsored groups or other on-site offers.
- We
may offer stores or provide services jointly with other companies on
Matingcall.com. You can tell when another company is involved in any
store or service provided on Matingcall.com, and we may share
customer information with that company in connection with your use
of that store or service.
- If
the ownership of all or substantially all of the Matingcall.com
business, or individual business units owned by Matingcall.com,
Inc., were to change, your user information may be transferred to
the new owner so the service can continue operations. In any such
transfer of information, your user information would remain subject
to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy.
When
you use Matingcall.com, certain information you post or share with
third parties (e.g., a friend or someone in your network), such as
personal information, comments, messages, photos, videos, Marketplace
listings or other information, may be shared with other users in
accordance with the privacy settings you select. All such sharing of
information is done at your own risk. Please keep in mind that if you
disclose personal information in your profile or when posting
comments, messages, photos, videos, Marketplace listings or other
items , this information may become publicly available.

may contain links to other websites. We are of course not responsible
for the privacy practices of other web sites. We encourage our users
to be aware when they leave our site to read the privacy statements
of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information
collected by Matingcall.com.
Security
Matingcall.com
takes appropriate precautions to protect our users' information. Your

When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number or

technology (SSL). (To learn more about SSL, go to

instant messaging are not recognized as secure communications, we
request that you not send private information to us by email or

dispute resolution provisions including arbitration, limitation on
damages and choice of law. We reserve the right to change our Privacy
Policy and our Terms of Use at any time. Non-material changes and
clarifications will take effect immediately, and material changes
will take effect within 30 days of their posting on this site. If we
make changes, we will post them and will indicate at the top of this

this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or through notice on

basis so that you understand our current privacy policy. Unless
stated otherwise, our current privacy policy applies to all
information that we have about you and your account.
