This Privacy Policy covers how HelloSection8 or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively “HelloSection8”) treats personal information that HelloSection8 collects and receives in connection with your use of the games and applications offered by HelloSection8. This includes software that you have downloaded or are about to download, any software that you have embedded on a website or are about to embed (“HelloSection8”), any applications created by HelloSection8 and available through social networking sites (“SNS Apps”), any applications created by HelloSection8, distributed by popular app stores like Google Play, Apple App Store, etc., and available through mobile devices (“Mobile Apps”), any software running on HelloSection8’s servers (“HelloSection8 Software”), content, related documentation, information on the HelloSection8 domain, and information made available by users to each other through the HelloSection8 Software (collectively, the “Service”). Your privacy is important to us and, as described in this Privacy Policy, we have designed the Service to protect information about you from unauthorized disclosure to others. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and, in certain circumstances, share your personally identifying information. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully, and if you have any questions, feel free to contact us. By registering for, accessing, using, and/or downloading any Service, you agree to HelloSection8’s Privacy Policy and that you will abide by HelloSection8’s Terms of Service. Among other things, you consent to the collection and use of your personal information as outlined in this Privacy Policy, as such policy may be amended from time to time. We may update the Privacy Policy, and if we do, we will post a notice that changes have been made on the website www.HelloSection8.com. You should visit this page periodically to review any changes to the Privacy Policy.
What We Collect
HelloSection8 gives you a number of options regarding what information you will give us: When you register a profile with HelloSection8, your profile, including any information (name, address, gender), will be registered with www.HelloSection8.com. When you identify yourself on a HelloSection8 site or App, you may identify yourself using a HelloSection8 account. When you identify yourself on a HelloSection8 site, you may identify yourself through a social network account, in which HelloSection8 may receive additional information about your profile. In each case, we will collect and record the information you have provided. Other than names and phone numbers provided at your discretion, we don’t generally collect any “Personally Identifying Information” about our users (such as social security number, street address, driver’s license number, etc.), except for billing and payments where we store your billing information such as name, street address, and phone number. We may offer you the opportunity to submit other information about yourself (such as gender, age, occupation, zip code, etc.), or we may collect that information from social networking systems on which you have used HelloSection8 or SNS Apps (in accordance with the terms of use of those systems), which would then also be covered by this Privacy Policy. When you use an SNS App on your social network page or use an SNS App on someone else’s page, we may record information regarding the use of that SNS App and may collect other information visible on your social network page in accordance with the relevant terms of use associated with that page. Note that since most HelloSection8 Software is served through SNS Apps, it is your responsibility to read and accept their Terms of Use, as well as Privacy Policy, prior to continuing. When you use a Mobile App, which includes telephones and other devices such as tablets, you agree that information about your use of the Service through your mobile device and carrier may be communicated to us. This information includes, but is not limited to your carrier, device, geo-location, IP address, telephone number, country, or other information you provide. With your permission, we may also access your contacts. Your carrier’s standard fees and rates will still apply, including SMS/text messaging fees, and you accept responsibility for all charges. When you invite new members into your network or send messages through the Service, we collect and maintain on secure servers the information associated with those messages, including email addresses and content. 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, HelloSection8, and other users of HelloSection8, to supplement your profile. We may use various types of information available on the device such as Device-Identifier, IMEI, Serial Number, and/or other locally stored account and app names to detect fraudulent or abusive behavior among users only. HelloSection8 may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by HelloSection8. You should also be aware that most content delivered through HelloSection8 originates with another content provider. Such other content providers may place “cookies” on your browser or otherwise gather information about you, including by asking you to provide information through the site itself. Finally, in order to provide the best possible service and to allow us to make certain internal reports and recommendations, we collect aggregate information about the use of the Service, including information about users accessing the HelloSection8 site or app, using SNS Apps on other sites or using Mobile Apps, such as internet protocol addresses, browser type, browser language, referring/exit pages and URLs, other browser history, platform type, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, and the date and time (“Activity Information”). By using the Service, you consent to our retaining all the above-described information in anonymous form as long as HelloSection8 sees fit.
How We Use Your Information
We do not sell or rent your “Personally Identifiable Information” to any third party. We may, however, use certain information about you that is not personally identifiable. We may also use public information collected to determine the kinds of content that you would like to view and to assist any advertisers in targeting their advertising. We also use your name, email address, telephone number, and other information on our system to notify you of new product releases, service notifications, and to solicit your feedback and input. Those emails or SMS/text messages will contain links for preference management and where appropriate, an opt-out method. With your consent, we may send push notifications to your mobile device to provide updates and relevant messages. We may also send local notifications to your mobile device. You may manage notifications from the “Settings” page of the Mobile App or through your device. You understand and agree that we may access, preserve, and disclose any information we may have about you and the contents of your account if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, preservation, or disclosure is reasonably necessary to avoid liability, to comply with legal process, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order, to protect our rights and property, or that of our affiliates or the public, or when there is a violation of our Terms of Service Agreement. HelloSection8 is not required to question or contest the validity of any search warrant, subpoena, or other similar governmental request that HelloSection8 receives. HelloSection8 may maintain copies of your Content indefinitely or delete certain Content in whole or in part if HelloSection8 determines, in its sole discretion, that such Content constitutes an infringing or prohibited posting as set forth in our Terms of Service or for any or no reason. We also use non-Personally Identifiable Information and certain technical information about your computer and your access of the Service (including your IP address) in order to operate, manage and maintain the Service, improve the Service and create new services. HelloSection8 may disclose information about you to its partners in order to provide the Service, resolve service problems and correct errors in the Service, to communicate with you about the Service, to provide you with advertising and promotional information in connection with the Service, and to enhance your experience on the Service. However, we do not give our partners an independent right to share this information. Due to our contractual obligations with these third parties and the need to share information to deliver and support the Service, we cannot provide you with the opportunity to opt-out of sharing information (whether Personally Identifiable Information or other information) with these third parties. HelloSection8, certain of its partners, and each of their contractors and employees may view the Content that you transmit to the service to provide the Service and otherwise perform the tasks set forth in this Privacy Policy.
Controlling Your Personal Information
Be advised that if you send messages or post material containing personal information, that information may be collected and used by others. You can terminate your account at any time which will remove your profile and other personal information from view. HelloSection8, however, may (but is not obligated to) keep information about you that is on its system following your termination. Please contact HelloSection8 to terminate your account or for any other questions about your personal information.
Transfer of Information
We reserve the right to transfer your personal information in the event of a transfer of ownership of HelloSection8 or the acquisition of substantially all the assets of HelloSection8 related to the business which collected such information, such as acquisition by or merger with another company. In such an event, HelloSection8 will notify users who have provided email addresses when information about those users is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
Others Information
You may decide to provide us with another person’s phone number so that person may be invited to join HelloSection8 or so that we may facilitate your communication with other people through the Service (such as when you upload an address book). You may
