Tunity (the “Service”), is owned and operated by TunityInc. (“we” or “us”). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, store, use and distribute information through the Service, as well as via website located at www.tunity.com (the “Site”). We are dedicated to treating your personal information with care and respect.
1. Consent. By using the Service and/or visiting the Site, you consent to the use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.
2. Collection of Information.
The Types of Information We Collect
We may collect personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) and non-personally identifiable information (“Non-Personal Information”) from you.
This policy is primarily concerned with Personal Information. Personal Information is information that can be used to identify or locate a particular person or entity. This includes, but is not limited to: name, address, telephone number, email, date of birth and, if applicable, billing information.
Non-Personal Information cannot, by itself, be used to identify a particular person or entity and includes any aggregate information and/or usage information relating to the Service or Site that we have gathered, as long as Personal Information has been removed from it. This policy does not restrict our use of Non-Personal Information and you agree that we may use or transfer any Non-Personal Information that we collect from you or based on your usage, at our discretion.
However, if we combine your Non-Personal Information with Personal Information that we collect about you, we will treat the combined information as your Personal Information.
Information You Provide To Us
• Service Registration and Usage. At registration, we require you to provide your email address and date of birth. Your email will become your username and you will be asked to create a Service password. If you register via Facebook, unless you have opted otherwise with Facebook, we will receive your first and last name, your date of birth and your email from Facebook. If we partner with other social networks or sites for integrated registration, similar sharing may occur.
• Commerce Functionality. We may offer premium Service elements and/or additional services or products. In that case, we may request that you provide additional billing-related information (“Billing Information”). We may also provide purchase links directly to properties that are operated by third parties which will be governed by their own privacy policies.
• Sharing and Community Features. We may offer features within the Service or Site that allow you to further communicate with us or with other users, including by uploading files.
• Promotions, Surveys, Contests. We may conduct promotions, offer voluntary surveys and host contests, as part of which we may request additional information from you.
We are not responsible for verifying the accuracy of any information that you provide or post.
Information We Automatically Collect
As you use our Service or Site (or access emails we send to you) we may use technologies that automatically collect information about your usage, including but not limited to: data about your mobile device (such as your device-type, software and language preference) or desktop interface and IP address, your channel viewing information and interests, and your movement through our properties and on to external links, as well as your location. Collectively, this information is referred to as “Analytics Information.” We may create a unique device or user ID for you so we can recognize you.
Some tools that we may use to collect Analytics Information include:
Cookies. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored on your computer or mobile device.
Tags/Pixels/Beacons. These terms are generally used to describe small blocks of code on webpages that do things like allow another server to measure viewing of a webpage.
Location: We can normally automatically detect your location data via your phone. However, your operating system may require you to grant us permission to access your GPS. If you do not permit this access, you may not be able to use the Service.
Other. We may use technology available on your device, technology similar to cookies and pixels and technology that is later developed, all for similar purposes.
Information We May Automatically Collect via Third Parties.
We sometimes use third party services to help us track activity and user flows within our properties, using similar tools to the ones we described (see Information We Automatically Collect). Such tracking would track an individual user’s movements but the data would not be tracked in a personally identifiable way and would be treated as Analytics Information (below).
We may work with advertisers and others whose products are promoted on our properties that may also use similar technologies. In those cases, we advise you to check their privacy policies. To learn more about behavioral advertising or to opt-out of some types of behavioral advertising for participating ad networks, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative ( http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/) or the Digital Advertising Alliance ( http://www.aboutads.info/choices/).
Information We Receive From Third Parties.
There are instances where we may receive information from third parties.
• As highlighted earlier, if you register via Facebook or another social network or other future promotional partner, we will receive registration information from them.
• You may click through certain links or promotions via the Service or Site that will enable you to purchase products or use services provided by promotional partners or other sites or commerce providers. Some of those entities may share with us certain information that you provide to them. You agree to allow us to receive and use any information that you may provide to such entities, under the same terms as if you provided it to us directly.
• We may purchase or otherwise receive data from third parties and add it to our existing user database. T unity is not responsible and assumes no liability if another site or commerce provider uses any information about you in violation of its own privacy policy, or applicable law.
