Share, Re-post & Settings: Our Services are primarily
designed to connect users with the products and services they need, while
empowering vendors to reach a wider audience and grow their businesses. Most of
the information you provide us is information you are asking us to make public.
This includes not only your photos or videos under your Stopy's account, and
the metadata provided with Stopy, and many other bits of information that
result from your use of the Services. We may use this information to customize
the content we show you, including advertisements or our promotions. Our
default setting is almost always to make the information you provide public for
as long as you do not delete it from Stopy, but we generally give you settings
to make the information more private if you want. Our Services broadly and
instantly disseminate your public information to a wide range of users,
customers, and services. When you share information or content like photos,
videos, and links via the Services, you should think carefully about what you
are making public.
Location Information: We may use other data from your
device to determine location, for example, information about wireless networks
or cell towers near your mobile device, or your IP address. We may use and
store information about your location to provide features of our Services to
improve and customize the Services, for example, with more relevant content
like local trends, stories, ads, and suggestions for people to follow. Learn
more about Stopy use of location here, and how to set your location preferences
here.
Links: Stopy may keep track of how you interact with links across our
Services, including our third-party services, and client applications, by redirecting
clicks or through other means. We do this to help improve our Services, to
provide more relevant advertising, and to be able to share aggregate statistics
such as the frequency of a particular link being clicked on.
Cookies: Like many apps, we use cookies and similar technologies to collect
additional application 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. Stopy 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 traffic routing on our Services, and to customize and
improve our Services. Most applications automatically accept cookies.
Google Analytics: We will also install Google Analytics in the
apps, devices, or mobile apps to collect your behaviors in using our Services.
We will also recommend some other services that may be suitable or appeal to
you based on our analysis.
Log Data: When you use Stopy, we may receive information ("Log
Data") such as your IP address, device information (including device and
application IDs) and search terms. Stopy uses Log Data to provide, understand,
and improve our Services.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not disclose your private personal information except in the
limited circumstances described here.
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most current version
of the policy will govern our use of your information and will always be
at https://stopy.app/en/privacy-policy.
If we make a change to this policy that, in our sole discretion, is material,
we will update https://stopy.app/en/privacy-policy.
By continuing to access or use the Services after those changes become
effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Privacy Policy.
Your Consent: We may share or disclose your information at your
direction, such as when you authorize a third-party web client or application
to access your Stopy account.
Law and Harm: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Policy, we may
preserve or disclose your information if we believe that it is reasonably necessary
to comply with a law, regulation or legal request; to protect the safety of any
person; to address fraud, security or technical issues; or to protect Stopy's
rights or property. However, nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to
limit any legal defenses or objections that you may have to a third party,
including a government, request to disclose your information.
Business Transfers and Affiliates: In the event that Stopy is
involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets,
your information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction. This
Privacy Policy will apply to your information as transferred to the new entity.
We may also disclose information about you to our corporate affiliates in order
to help provide, understand, and improve our Services including the delivery of
ads.
Non-Private or Non-Personal Information: We may share
or disclose your non-private, aggregated or otherwise non-personal information,
such as your public user profile information, the people you share your
information with, or the number of users who clicked on a particular link (even
if only one did), or reports to advertisers about unique users who saw or
clicked on their ads after we have removed any private personal information (such
as your name or contact information).
