personal information we collect and use

We collect personal information in a number of ways when you visit and use our Website:


Account information. If you create an account on our Website, we ask for and store personal information such as your name, email address, and image. If you link your account to Facebook, we periodically retrieve and display some of your personal information from Facebook, including your profile image, birthday, gender, and list of friends; we may also publish an event reflecting your account creation to your Facebook "news feed." We use your email address to send you automated messages (e.g., when someone requests to be your friend, periodic digest of content, etc.) You may choose not to receive any/all emails by changing the settings on your Profile. Your name and image are visible to people "connected" to you on the site: people you've explicitly designated as "friends," their friends, and your friends' friends' friends. Your email address is visible to your "friends" only. We do not publicize any personal information (not even your name) to people who are not "connected" to you (as defined above).


User-generated content. On our Website you may choose to write Questions, Reviews, and/or Comments (made on Questions or Reviews). This content is visible to anyone (and to search engines that may index content at our Website), but only people "connected" to you (as defined above) will see your name or any other personal information attached to this content (as revealed by Mobspin). See our frequently asked questions for more information. If another user "connected" to you mentions your name and/or other personal information in his or her submitted content (e.g., addressing you by name in a comment), we do not control or restrict who can see that information. If you link your account to Facebook, events reflecting your creation of content may be published to your Facebook "news feed."


Invitations. You may invite people you know to become your "friends" on Mobspin via automated invitation tools. By doing so you grant us permission to deliver exactly one email invitation to each invitee. We will never contact your invitees again. We record these invitations. By providing us with another person's e-mail address, you represent to us that you have obtained the consent of the person concerned as regards such disclosure to us of their personal information.


Feedback. If you contact us (either via email or via our feedback form), we will record any information provided in that feedback so we can respond appropriately.


Activity. We automatically record a range of information about your use of our Website, including: times of sign-in, search terms, pages viewed, browser type, IP address, requested URL, and referring URL. We use this information to improve the service, and use this information anonymously in aggregate to analyze overall user behavior.


Cookies. We send cookies to your computer in order to uniquely identify your browser and improve the quality of our service. The term "cookies" refers to small pieces of information that a Website sends to your computer's hard drive while you are viewing the site. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them). Persistent cookies can be removed by following your browser's help directions. If you choose to disable cookies, some areas of the Website may not work properly or at all.


transfer of information

We may distribute your submitted content to third parties, though in those cases content will be distributed anonymously. The third parties may in turn publicly display or publish your submissions in connection with their own websites and media platforms.


We may share your personal information with our parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under a common control (collectively, "Affiliates") that we may have now or in the future, in which case we will require them to honor this Privacy Policy. If another company acquires our company or our assets, that company will possess your personal information, and will assume the rights and obligations with respect to that information as described in this Privacy Policy.


We may disclose your personal information to third parties in a good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) take action regarding suspected illegal activities; (b) enforce or apply our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy; (c) comply with legal process, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order; or (d) protect our rights, reputation, and property, or that of our users, affiliates, or the public. Please note that we are not required to question or contest the validity of any search warrant, subpoena or other similar governmental request that we receive.


We may disclose information in the aggregate to third parties relating to user behavior in connection with actual or prospective business relationship with those third parties, such as advertisers and content distributors. For example, we may disclose the number of users that have been exposed to, or clicked on, advertising banners.


We may use third party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, click here.
