Rloopz,
Inc. (rloopz, we, or us) provides this Privacy Policy to explain our
practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of
information that apply to our Service, as well as your choices regarding the
collection and use of information.
This
Privacy Policy does not apply to information we collect by means (including
offline) or from other sources other than through the Service. Capitalized terms that are not defined in
this Privacy Policy have the meaning given them in our Terms of Use http://www.rloopz.com/tos
Rloopz may
transfer information that we collect about you, including personal information,
to affiliated entities, or to other third parties across borders and from your
country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the
world. If you are located in the
European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use
that may differ from U.S. law, please note that we may transfer information,
including personal information, to a country and jurisdiction that does not
have the same data protection laws as your jurisdiction, and you consent to the
transfer of information to the U.S. and the use and disclosure of information
about you, including Personally Identifiable Information, as described in this
Privacy Policy.
1. How We Collect and Use
Information
Personally
Identifiable Information: We collect information that
can be used to identify you as an individual (Personally Identifiable
Information) only when you provide such information directly to us in
connection with the Service.
We ask for Personally Identifiable
Information such as your name and e-mail address when you register for a Member
account with the Service, or if you correspond with us (in which case we will
also retain our responses). We may also
collect demographic information, such as your age, gender, preferences, and
interests. We may also retain any
messages you send through the Service, and may collect information you provide
in User Content you post to the Service.
We may receive Personally Identifiable
Information about you from third parties, including, for example, information
about your transactions, purchase history, or relationships with various
product and service providers, and your use of certain applications. For
example, if you access our website or Service through a third-party connection
or log-in, for example, through Facebook Connect, by following, liking,
adding the Rloopz application, linking your account to the Rloopz service,
etc., that third party may pass certain information about your use of its
service to Rloopz. This information
could include, but is not limited to, the user ID associated with your account,
any information you have permitted the third party to share with us, and any
information you have made public in connection with that service. You should always review, and if necessary,
adjust your privacy settings on third-party websites and services before
linking or connecting them to Rloopzs website or Service.
We use Personally Identifiable Information
to communicate directly with you. We may
send you emails containing newsletters, promotions and special offers. If you do not want to receive these marketing
communications, you may change your preferences in your http://www.rloopz.com/account . We also use your Personally Identifiable
Information to send you Service-related emails (e.g., account verification,
purchase and billing confirmations and reminders, changes/updates to features
of the Service, technical and security notices). You may not opt out of Service-related
e-mails.
If you choose to use our invitation service
to invite a third party to the Service, we will ask you for that persons email
address and automatically send an email invitation to the invitee. Rloopz stores this information to send this
email, to register the invitee if your invitation is accepted, and to track the
success of our invitation service.
Unless the invitee becomes a registered user of the Service, Rloopz does
not use the invitees email address for marketing purposes, and does not share
the invitees email address with third parties other than Rloopzs service
providers or in the event of a corporate transaction or proceeding as described
below in Sharing of Your Information. The invitee may contact us at any time to
request that we remove his or her information from our database at unsubscribe@rloopz.com
Non-Personally
Identifiable Information: We also collect and use
information about your interactions with the Service in a manner and format
that does not identify you as an individual (Non-Personally Identifiable
Information). Generally, we do not
combine or associate Non-Personally Identifiable Information with your
Personally Identifiable Information. If
we do combine Non-Personally Identifiable Information with Personally
Identifiable Information, we treat the combined information as Personally
Identifiable Information. We may
collect, use, and disclose Non-Personally Identifiable Information as set forth
below.
Analytics Information. We use third-party analytics tools to help us
measure traffic and usage trends for the Service. These tools collect information sent by your
browser as part of a web page request, including the web pages you visit, your
browser add-ons, your browsers width and height, and other information that
assists us in improving the Service. We
collect and use this analytics information in aggregate form such that it
cannot reasonably be manipulated to identify any particular individual user.

the Service may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is

reported by your browser each time you access a web page. When you use our Service, our servers
automatically record certain log file information. These server logs may include anonymous

with links on the Service, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other
such information.

ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser or mobile device,
the ads and ad links that appear on the Service. These ad-servers and ad-networks
automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use other technologies (such as

networks for such parties own marketing purposes, unless you choose in advance
to have your information shared for this purpose. However, please note that if an advertiser
asks Rloopz to show an ad to a certain audience and you respond to such an ad,
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
Non-Personally Identifiable information (e.g., information that does not
include your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your
visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements on this
