Account Information: When you create an account on the Services (an "Account"), we"ll ask you for information such as, not limited to, your name, username, password, age, location, profession, your picture and email address which is hereby referred as "Account Information". We may use Account Information, alone or together with other information, to enhance and improve the Services, such as by personalization.

In order to do so, you may provide us with your username or other credential for a Third Party Service, and you may then be required to log into that Service. Upon the completion of this process, we will receive a token that allows us to access your account on that service so that we can, for example, integrate your account with that third party service if you ask us to do so. We do not receive or store your passwords for your Third Party Service accounts.
Information Obtained from Third Party Services: In certain cases, we may partner with Third Party Services that may provide information about you. Such information could include, for example, your gender, depending upon whether you have disclosed that information to that third party and made it available for other products/services to access. Depending upon the extent of this information obtained, we may use it to develop new Services or to improve or enhance the current Product/Services.
Email Communications with Us: As part of the Services, you may occasionally receive email and other communications from us.

We also may send you other kinds of emails, which you can opt-out of either from your Account Settings page or by using the unsubscribe link in the emails themselves depending upon the source and method of email communication.
User Content: By default, all sharing through the Services is public, and when you provide us with content it is published so that anyone can view it. This means you should assume that anything you publish is publicly accessible unless you have explicitly selected a specific content to be shared privately. There are certain exceptions where few content types, for example direct email, messages and comments, can only be viewed for which it is intended to.
However, please keep in mind that anything you share privately with another user, may be posted publicly by that user. Content published and shared publicly is accessible to everyone, including search engines, and you may lose any privacy rights you might have regarding that content. In addition, information shared publicly may be copied and shared throughout the Internet, including through actions or features native to the Services.
Indigenous Features: The Services allow you to perform native actions that are integral to our products, such as liking a post, reposting a post, commenting on a post, and following a post. All these are public actions - anyone can expand the details on a post, for example, to see who liked, reposted it, or replied to a post. There are exceptions where some or all of these actions, for example - commenting to a post, can be done anonymously.
