You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity.

For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en

ADVERTISING:

We may use third-party Service Providers to show advertisements to you to help support and maintain our Service.

Sharesome Ad Network

We use our own Ad engine to display advertisements to users.

PAYMENTS:

We may provide paid products and/or services within the Service. In that case, we use third-party services for payment processing (e.g. payment processors).

We will not store or collect your payment card details. That information is provided directly to our third-party payment processors whose use of your personal information is governed by their Privacy Policy. These payment processors adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of payment information.

The payment processors we work with are:
- Paybilla.com

LINKS TO OTHER SITES:

Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click a third party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY:

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 18 ("Children").

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS:

From time to time we may email you information about Sharesome that we think is necessary and important. By opening or maintaining an account with Sharesome, you agree to receive administrative and notification emails as part of your basic service. You can always opt-out of non-administrative emails.

If anyone ever contacts you and asks for your Sharesome password, they are probably trying to scam you. Sharesome will never do this. Please don't give your Sharesome password to anyone, and let us know about it if someone asks, so we can take appropriate measures against them.

INFORMATION SHARING:

We don’t sell information about our users to any third party. This includes advertisers, data brokers, search engines, or anyone else.

We may share some of your personal information with third parties under several circumstances, including (1) if you tell us it is OK to do so (2) if we believe that we need to do so by law (3) if we contract with a third party service provider to offer services for you — for example, we may need to pass your payment information along to a credit card processing company if you decide to buy something on Sharesome.

SHARESOME IS A PUBLIC NETWORK:

You can keep yourself fairly anonymous on Sharesome, but remember that your posts, content, and username are all visible to the public by default. People that know your alias or stage name can also find your Sharesome profile.

Sharesome is a platform built for posting and sharing public content. You should assume that anything you post on Sharesome other than private messages will be accessed by others, so if you’re truly ashamed of your desires it’s best to keep them to yourself. But why? Be proud of who you are. You’re beautiful. We’re looking you in the eyes and telling you how beautiful you are.

Search engines will be able to see the content you post. Content you post may be copied, shared, or re-posted on Sharesome and on other parts of the internet in ways that you and we cannot control.

We have made it easy for you to delete posted content from your personal account, and also to delete your account altogether (there’s a link to do so on your personal settings page).

However, we may store backups of your content on our servers, even after it is deleted or after you delete your account.

Furthermore, deleting your account or specific content doesn’t mean that your content hasn’t been copied or shared on Sharesome, and on other parts of the internet by people or services that have nothing to do with Sharesome.

We strongly suggest that you consider this when deciding what to post and what not to post on Sharesome (or anywhere on the Internet, for that matter). Please post responsibly!

DATA STORAGE AND DELETION OF ACOUNTS AND DATA

You can access or change your personal profile and contact information or delete your account through your Sharesome personal settings page.

If you choose to delete, you can no longer retrieve your content or reactivate your account, and we cannot do so for you. Also, your username may become available for another person to use.

Sharesome stores its data on servers run by third parties. We or a third party we work with may keep backups of Sharesome’s data and code, which may or may not include posts and other information that you put on Sharesome, even after you have deleted your account. Therefore, even after you delete your account, your data may remain in backups on our system, although it will be no longer visible or publicly accessible on Sharesome.

CHANGES TO THE SHARESOME PRIVACY POLICY:

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

We will let you know via email and/or a prominent notice on our Service, prior to the change becoming effective and update the "effective date" at the top of this Privacy Policy.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
