IslandMeet’s Privacy Policy
Date of last revision: March 30th, 2010.
We want to earn your trust by being transparent about how IslandMeet.com works. You should read this policy in its entirety, but should pay particular attention to these four highlights:
* IslandMeet.com is designed to make it easy for you to share your information with anyone you want. You decide how much information you feel comfortable sharing on IslandMeet.com and you control how it is distributed through your privacy settings. You should review the default privacy settings and change them if necessary to reflect your preferences. You should also consider your settings whenever you share information.
* IslandMeet.com is not just a website. It is also a service for sharing your information on IslandMeet.com -enhanced applications and websites. You can control how you share information with those third-party applications and websites through your application settings and you can learn more about how information is shared with them on our About Platform page. You can also limit how your friends share your information with applications through your privacy settings.
* Certain categories of information such as your name, profile photo, list of friends and pages you are a fan of, gender, geographic region, and networks you belong to are considered publicly available to everyone, including IslandMeet.com-enhanced applications, and therefore do not have privacy settings. You can, however, limit the ability of others to find this information through search using your search privacy settings.
* IslandMeet.com is a free service supported primarily by advertising. We will not share your information with advertisers without your consent. We allow advertisers to select characteristics of users they want to show their advertisements to and we use the information we have collected to serve those advertisements.
No information from children under age 13. If you are under age 13, please do not attempt to register for IslandMeet.com 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:
Personal information. When you sign up for IslandMeet.com you provide us with your name, email, gender, and birth date. During the registration process we give you the opportunity to provide additional profile information, such as where you went to school and where you work, and to add a picture of yourself, to help your friends connect with you. In some cases we may ask for additional information for security reasons or to provide specific services to you. Once you register you can visit your profile at any time to add or remove personal information about yourself. You can add basic information about yourself, such as information about your hometown, family, relationships, and your political and religious views. You can also add other information about yourself including your activities, interests, contact information, as well as more information about your education and job history.
Content. One of the primary reasons people use IslandMeet.com 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 IslandMeet.com (such as photos), please remove the metadata before uploading the content.
Transactional Information. We may retain the details of transactions or payments you make on IslandMeet.com. However, we will only keep your payment source account number with your consent.
Friend Information. We offer contact importer tools to help you upload your friends’ addresses so that you can find your friends on IslandMeet.com, and invite your contacts who do not have IslandMeet.com accounts to join. If you do not want us to store this information, visit this help page. If you give us your password to retrieve those contacts, we will not store your password after you have uploaded your contacts’ information.
Location Information. When you share your location with others or add a location to something you post, we treat that like any other content you post (for example, it is subject to your privacy settings). If we offer a service that supports this type of location sharing we will present you with an opt-in choice of whether you want to participate.
Information we collect when you interact with IslandMeet.com:
Site activity information. We keep track of the actions you take on IslandMeet.com, such as adding a friend, becoming a fan of a IslandMeet.com Page, joining a group or an event, creating a photo album, sending a gift, poking another user, indicating you “like” a post, attending an event, or authorizing 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 you shared it.
Access Device and Browser Information. When you access IslandMeet.com 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 IslandMeet.com easier to use, to make our advertising better, and to protect both you and IslandMeet.com. 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 IslandMeet.com. We also use them to confirm that you are logged into IslandMeet.com, and to know when you are interacting with IslandMeet.com 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 IslandMeet.com.
