Questions If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy policy, contact our privacy team here. Scope This privacy policy covers all of Marquee Street. By using or accessing Marquee Street, you agree to our privacy practices outlined here. No information from children under age 13 If you are under age 13, please do not attempt to register for Marquee Street or provide any personal information about yourself to us. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from a child under age 13, please contact us through this help page. Parental participation We strongly recommend that minors 13 years of age or older ask their parents for permission before sending any information about themselves to anyone over the Internet and we encourage parents to teach their children about safe internet use practices. Materials to help parents talk to their children about safe internet use can be found on this help page. 2. Information We Receive Information you provide to us: Information About Yourself When you sign up for Marquee Street you provide us with your name, email, gender, and birth date. During the registration process we give you the opportunity to connect with your friends, schools, and employers. You will also be able to add a picture of yourself. In some cases we may ask for additional information for security reasons or to provide specific services to you. Once you register you can provide other information about yourself by connecting with, for example, your current city, hometown, family, relationships, networks, activities, interests, and places. You can also provide personal information about yourself, such as your political and religious views. Content One of the primary reasons people use Marquee Street is to share content with others. Examples include when you update your status, upload or take a photo, upload or record a video, share a link, create an event or a group, make a comment, write something on someone's Wall, write a note, or send someone a message. If you do not want us to store metadata associated with content you share on Marquee Street (such as photos), please remove the metadata before uploading the content. Transactional Information All functionality on Marquee Street is completely free and supported solely by advertising. At no time will you ever be asked to submit any payment information during the use of this site. Information we collect when you interact with Marquee Street: Site activity information We keep track of some of the actions you take on Marquee Street, such as adding connections (including joining a group or adding a friend), creating a photo album, sending a gift, poking another user, indicating you "like" a post, attending an event, or connecting with an application. In some cases you are also taking an action when you provide information or content to us. For example, if you share a video, in addition to storing the actual content you uploaded, we might log the fact that you shared it. Access Device and Browser Information When you access Marquee Street from a computer, mobile phone, or other device, we may collect information from that device about your browser type, location, and IP address, as well as the pages you visit. Cookie Information We use "cookies" (small pieces of data we store for an extended period of time on your computer, mobile phone, or other device) to make Marquee Street easier to use, to make our advertising better, and to protect both you and Marquee Street. For example, we use them to store your login ID (but never your password) to make it easier for you to login whenever you come back to Marquee Street. We also use them to confirm that you are logged into Marquee Street, and to know when you are interacting with Marquee Street Platform applications and websites, our widgets and Share buttons, and our advertisements. You can remove or block cookies using the settings in your browser, but in some cases that may impact your ability to use Marquee Street. Information we receive from third parties: Marquee Street Platform We do not own or operate the applications or websites that you use through Marquee Street Platform (such as games and utilities). Whenever you connect with a Platform application or website, we will receive information from them, including information about actions you take. In some cases, in order to personalize the process of connecting, we may receive a limited amount of information even before you connect with the application or website. Information from other websites We may institute programs with advertising partners and other websites in which they share information with us:
Information from other users We may collect information about you from other Marquee Street users, such as when a friend tags you in a photo, video, or place, provides friend details, or indicates a relationship with you. 3. Sharing information on Marquee Street This section explains how your privacy settings work, and how your information is shared on Marquee Street. You should always consider your privacy settingsbefore sharing information on Marquee Street. Name and Profile Picture Marquee Street is designed to make it easy for you to find and connect with others. For this reason, your name and profile picture do not have privacy settings. If you are uncomfortable with sharing your profile picture, you should delete it (or not add one). You can also control who can find you when searching on Marquee Street or on public search engines using the Applications and Websites privacy setting. Contact Information Your contact information settings control (available when customizing your privacy settings) who can contact you on Marquee Street, and who can see your contact information such as your email and phone number(s). Remember that none of this information is required except for your email address, and you do not have to share your email address with anyone. Personal Information Your personal information settings control who can see your personal information, such as your religious and political views, if you choose to add them. We recommend that you share this information using the friends of friends setting. Gender and Birth Date In addition to name and email address, we require you to provide your gender and birth date during the registration process. We ask for your date of birth to verify that you are 13 or older, and so that we can better limit your access to content and advertisements that are not age appropriate. Because your date of birth and gender are required, you cannot delete them. You can, however, edit your profile to hide all (or part) of such fields from other users. Other Here are some other things to remember:
Exporting Information You (and those you make your information available to) may use tools like RSS feeds, mobile phone address book applications, or copy and paste functions, to capture, export (and in some cases, import) information from Marquee Street, including your information and information about you. For example, if you share your phone number with your friends, they may use third party applications to sync that information with the address book on their mobile phone. Advertisements Sometimes the advertisers who present ads on Marquee Street use technological methods to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. You may opt-out of the placement of cookies by many of these advertisers here. You may also use your browser cookie settings to limit or prevent the placement of cookies by advertising networks. Marquee Street does not share personally identifiable information with advertisers unless we get your permission. Links When you click on links on Marquee Street you may leave our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites, and we encourage you to read their privacy statements. 5. How We Use Your Information We use the information we collect to try to provide a safe, efficient, and customized experience. Here are some of the details on how we do that: To manage the service We use the information we collect to provide our services and features to you, to measure and improve those services and features, and to provide you with customer support. We use the information to prevent potentially illegal activities, and to enforce our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. We also use a variety of technological systems to detect and address anomalous activity and screen content to prevent abuse such as spam. These efforts may on occasion result in a temporary or permanent suspension or termination of some functions for some users. To contact you We may contact you with service-related announcements from time to time. You may opt out of all communications except essential updates on your account notificationspage. We may include content you see on Marquee Street in the emails we send to you. To serve personalized advertising to you We don't share your information with advertisers without your consent. (An example of consent would be if you asked us to provide your shipping address to an advertiser to receive a free sample.) We allow advertisers to choose the characteristics of users who will see their advertisements and we may use any of the non-personally identifiable attributes we have collected (including information you may have decided not to show to other users, such as your birth year or other sensitive personal information or preferences) to select the appropriate audience for those advertisements. For example, we might use your interest in soccer to show you ads for soccer equipment, but we do not tell the soccer equipment company who you are. You can see the criteria advertisers may select by visiting our advertising page. Even though we do not share your information with advertisers without your consent, when you click on or otherwise interact with an advertisement there is a possibility that the advertiser may place a cookie in your browser and note that it meets the criteria they selected. To supplement your profile We may use information about you that we collect from other Marquee Street users to supplement your profile (such as when you are tagged in a photo or mentioned in a status update). In such cases we generally give you the ability to remove the content (such as allowing you to remove a photo tag of you) or limit its visibility on your profile. To help your friends find you We allow other users to use contact information they have about you, such as your email address, to find you, including through contact importers and search. You can prevent other users from using your email address to find you using the search section of your privacy settings. Memorializing Accounts If we are notifiedthat a user is deceased, we may memorialize the user's account. In such cases we restrict profile access to confirmed friends, and allow friends and family to write on the user's Wall in remembrance. We may close an account if we receive a formal request from the user's next of kin or other proper legal request to do so. 6. How We Share Information Marquee Street is about sharing information with others - friends and people in your communities - while providing you with privacy settings that you can use to restrict other users from accessing some of your information. We share your information with third parties when we believe the sharing is permitted by you, reasonably necessary to offer our services, or when legally required to do so. For example: When you invite a friend to join When you ask us to invite a friend to join Marquee Street, we will send your friend a message on your behalf using your name. The invitation may also contain information about other users your friend might know. We may also send up to two reminders to them in your name. You can see who has accepted your invitations, send reminders, and delete your friends' email addresses on your invite history page. If your friend does not want us to keep their information, we will also remove it at their request by using this help page. To provide you with services We may provide information to service providers that help us bring you the services we offer. For example, we may use third parties to help host our website, send out email updates about Marquee Street, remove repetitive information from our user lists, process payments, or provide search results or links (including sponsored links). These service providers may have access to your personal information for use for a limited time, but when this occurs we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections to limit their use of that information to helping us provide the service. To advertise our services We may ask advertisers outside of Marquee Street to display ads promoting our services. We may ask them to deliver those ads based on the presence of a cookie, but in doing so will not share any other information with the advertiser. To respond to legal requests and prevent harm We may disclose information pursuant to subpoenas, court orders, or other requests (including criminal and civil matters) if we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law. This may include respecting requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States where we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law under the local laws in that jurisdiction, apply to users from that jurisdiction, and are consistent with generally accepted international standards. We may also share information when we have a good faith belief it is necessary to prevent fraud or other illegal activity, to prevent imminent bodily harm, or to protect ourselves and you from people violating our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, courts or other government entities. Transfer in the Event of Sale or Change of Control If the ownership of all or substantially all of our business changes, we may transfer your information to the new owner so that the service can continue to operate. In such a case, your information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy. 7. How You Can Change or Remove Information Editing your profile You may change or remove your profile information at any time by going to your profile page and clicking "Edit My Profile." Information will be updated immediately. Deactivating or deleting your account If you want to stop using your account you may deactivate it or delete it. When you deactivate an account, no user will be able to see it, but it will not be deleted. We save your profile information (connections, photos, etc.) in case you later decide to reactivate your account. Many users deactivate their accounts for temporary reasons and in doing so are asking us to maintain their information until they return to Marquee Street. You will still have the ability to reactivate your account and restore your profile in its entirety. When you delete an account, it is permanently deleted from Marquee Street. You should only delete your account if you are certain you never want to reactivate it. You may deactivate your account on your account settingspage or delete your account on this help page. Limitations on removal Even after you remove information from your profile or delete your account, copies of that information may remain viewable elsewhere to the extent it has been shared with others, it was otherwise distributed pursuant to your privacy settings, or it was copied or stored by other users. However, your name will no longer be associated with that information on Marquee Street. (For example, if you post something to another user's profile and then you delete your account, that post may remain, but be attributed to an "Anonymous Marquee Street User.") Additionally, we may retain certain information to prevent identity theft and other misconduct even if deletion has been requested. If you have given third party applications or websites access to your information, they may retain your information to the extent permitted under their terms of service or privacy policies. But they will no longer be able to access the information through our Platform after you disconnect from them. Backup copies Removed and deleted information may persist in backup copies for up to 90 days, but will not be available to others. 8. How We Protect Information We do our best to keep your information secure, but we need your help. For more detailed information about staying safe on Marquee Street, visit the Marquee Street Security Page. Steps we take to keep your information secure We keep your account information on a secured server behind a firewall. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card numbers and passwords), we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). We also use automated and social measures to enhance security, such as analyzing account behavior for fraudulent or otherwise anomalous behavior, may limit use of site features in response to possible signs of abuse, may remove inappropriate content or links to illegal content, and may suspend or disable accounts for violations of our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. Risks inherent in sharing information Although we allow you to set privacy options that limit access to your information, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot control the actions of other users with whom you share your information. We cannot guarantee that only authorized persons will view your information. We cannot ensure that information you share on Marquee Street will not become publicly available. We are not responsible for third party circumvention of any privacy settingsor security measures on Marquee Street. You can reduce these risks by using common sense security practices such as choosing a strong password, using different passwords for different services, and using up to date antivirus software. Report Violations You should report any security violations to us on this help page. 9. Other Terms Changes We may change this Privacy Policy pursuant to the procedures outlined in the Marquee Street Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. Unless stated otherwise, our current privacy policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account. If we make changes to this Privacy Policy we will notify you by publication here and on the Marquee Street Site Governance Page. If the changes are material, we will provide you additional, prominent notice as appropriate under the circumstances. You can make sure that you receive notice directly by liking the Marquee Street Site Governance Page. Consent to Collection and Processing in the United States By using Marquee Street, you consent to having your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States. Defined Terms "Us," "we," "our," "Platform" and "Marquee Street" mean the same as they do in the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. "Information" and "content" are used more generally and interchangeably here than in the Statement of Rights and Responsibilitiesunless otherwise limited by the context. |
