Irrespective of which country that you reside in or create information from, your information may be used by Phollo.me in the United States or any other country Phollo.me operates.

Information We Collect

We collect and use your information to provide our Services and improve them over time.

Information Collected Upon Registration: When you create a Phollo.me account, you provide some personal information, such as your name and username. Some of this information, for example, your name and username, may be listed publicly on our Services, including on your profile page. Some Services, such as public user profiles, do not require registration.

Additional Information: You may provide us with additional information to make public, such as a short biography, your location, education, work, contact information, a cell phone number, or a picture. We may use your contact information to send you information about our Services. You may unsubscribe from these messages by following the instructions contained within the messages. If you email us, we may keep your message, email address and contact information to respond to your request. Providing the additional information described in this section is entirely optional.

Location Information: You may choose to note your location on your Phollo.me Profile.

Log Data: Our servers automatically record information ("Log Data") created by your use of the Services. Log Data may include information such as your IP address, browser type, the referring domain, pages visited, and search terms. Other actions, such as interactions with advertisements, may also be included in Log Data.

Links: Phollo.me may keep track of how you interact with links by redirecting clicks or through other means. We do this to help improve our Services, and to be able to share aggregate click statistics such as how many times a particular link was clicked on.

Cookies: Like many websites, we use "cookie" technology to collect additional website usage data and to improve our Services, but we do not require cookies for many parts of our Services such as searching and looking at public user profiles or lists. A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to your computer’s hard disk. Phollo.me may use both session cookies and persistent cookies to better understand how you interact with our Services, to monitor aggregate usage by our users and web traffic routing on our Services, and to improve our Services. Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies. You can instruct your browser, by editing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit.

Device Identifiers: When you use a mobile device like a tablet or phone to access our Services, we may access, collect, monitor, store on your device, and/or remotely store one or more "device identifiers". A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device’s operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by Phollo.me.

Metadata: Metadata is usually technical data that is associated with User Content. For example, Metadata can describe how, when and by whom a piece of user content was collected and how that content is formatted. Users can add or may have Metadata added to their user content including tags, location, work, education and other Metadata. This makes your user content more searchable by others and more interactive.

Third Party Services: Phollo.me uses a variety of services hosted by third parties to help provide our Services, and to help us understand the use of our Services, such as Google Analytics. These services may collect information sent by your browser as part of a webpage request, such as cookies or your IP request.

Your Consent: We may share or disclose your information with your consent, such as when you use a third party web client to access your Phollo.me account.

Service Providers: We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to us. We may share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these functions and provide such services, and only pursuant to obligations mirroring the protections of this privacy policy.

Other Websites and Services

We are not responsible for the practices employed by any websites or services linked to or from Phollo.me, including the information or content contained within them. Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Service to another website or service, our Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party websites or services.

In addition, you agree that we are not responsible and do not have control over any third-parties that you authorize to access your content.
