We

for the purpose of providing the Service to you. If we do this, such third
parties’ use of your information will be bound by this Privacy Policy. We may
store personal information in locations outside the direct control of Unblock
me Walkthroughs (for instance, on servers or databases co-located with hosting
providers).
Any
information or User Content submitted, transmitted, or uploaded to the public
areas of the Service becomes publicly available and can be collected and used
by other Users, who may forward this information or User Content to other
websites or people.. Be aware that if Your User Content includes personal
information, such as your name and email address, other Users will have access
to it. If Your User Content is a photograph, please be aware that all
photographs uploaded to the Service reside on public URLs. Any person who knows
the URL of Your photograph can access the photograph, whether or not it’s
published on a Hub. Your photograph will remain displayed on such URL after You
delete it from Your Hub. Please do not upload any photographs that You do not
want to be public information.
In
order to describe our Service to prospective partners, advertisers and other
third parties we may disclose aggregate user information. We share
Non-Personally Identifiable Information (such as anonymous use data) with third
parties to assist them in understanding our Service, including Users’ use of
our Service and the success of promotions.
We
may release collected information if required to do so by law, or if we believe
that such action is appropriate to comply with state and federal laws or
respond to a court order, law enforcement request or demand, subpoena, or
search warrant. We may disclose collected information to applicable entities
(for example, the Internal Revenue Service and third party payment providers)
with respect to payment and tax-related purposes. We may also share collected
information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding
suspected or actual illegal activities, including but not limited to, fraud;
potential threats to public safety or the physical safety, property, or rights
of any person; or violations of our Terms of Use.
4. Third-Party
Service Providers
The
Service may be used in conjunction with services provided through a variety of
third parties, such as Google. The use of User Content and other information
provided by You to such third parties is governed by their privacy policies,
not our Privacy Policy. Unblock me Walkthroughs is not responsible for such
third party privacy policies or their compliance with such policies.
Unblock
me Walkthroughs may allow third-party ad servers or ad networks to serve
advertisements and/or collect information on the Service. These third-party ad
servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the
advertisements and links that appear on Unblock me Walkthroughs. They
automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use
other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons) to measure the
effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising
content. Unblock me Walkthroughs does not provide any personally identifiable
information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your
consent. However, please note that if an advertiser asks Unblock me
Walkthroughs to show an advertisement to a certain audience and you respond to
that advertisement, the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that you fit the
description of the audience they are trying to reach. In addition, third-party
advertisers may use information (not including your name, address, email
address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in
order to provide advertisements on this website, other websites and other forms
of media about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more
information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this
information used by these companies, click here.
The Unblock me Walkthroughs Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot
control the activities of, third-party advertisers. Please consult the
respective privacy policies of such advertisers for more information.
5. Choices
You
may update or correct your Personally Identifiable Information at any time as
indicated on the Service or by sending us an email at team@Unblockmewalkthroughs.blogspot.com.
If You or Unblock me Walkthroughs intend to delete any User Content provided by
You, we cannot guarantee that your User Content will be completely removed from
all User devices or from their web pages, nor that other Users will not misuse
any content that You supply. In addition the other Users may have already
copied and forwarded your User Content to others, making recovery impossible.
6. Data Security
We
have put in place commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical
procedures to protect your Personally Identifiable Information and other data
from loss, misuse or alteration and to safeguard and secure the data You
provide. While we strive to protect such information after it arrives at our
servers, we cannot guarantee the security of any information that is being
transmitted over the Internet, or guarantee that such information may not be
accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical,
technical, or managerial safeguards. As a result, You provide such information
at your own risk.
7. Children’s
Privacy
Protecting
the privacy of children is especially important. For that reason, we do not
knowingly collect Personally Identifiable Information submitted by persons
under 18 years of age. If You are under 18 years of age, then please do not
submit any information to the Website at any time or in any manner.
8. Merger or
Bankruptcy
In
the event that we acquire, are acquired by, or merge with a third party entity,
we reserve the right to transfer or assign all collected information as part of
such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control. In the unlikely
event of our bankruptcy or similar situation, we may not be able to control how
your information is treated, transferred, or used.
9. Changes and
Updates
We
reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, add or remove portions of
this policy at any time by posting such changes to this page. Such changes will
be effective upon posting. Any changes will be reflected by the effective date
at the beginning of the Privacy Policy. Your continued use of the Service
constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy and any current revisions.
