When you post things like photos or videos on Crusheo, we may receive additional related data (or metadata), such as the time, date, and place you took the photo or video.
We receive data from the computer, mobile phone or other device you use to access Crusheo, including when multiple users log in from the same device. This may include your IP address and other information about things like your internet service, location, the type (including identifiers) of browser you use, or the pages you visit. For example, we may get your GPS or other location information so we can tell you if any of your friends are nearby.
Sometimes we get data from our advertising partners, customers and other third parties that helps us (or them) deliver ads, understand online activity, and generally make Crusheo better. For example, an advertiser may tell us information about you (like how you responded to an ad on Crusheo or on another site) in order to measure the effectiveness of - and improve the quality of - ads.
We also put together data from the information we already have about you and your friends. For example, we may also put together data about you to serve you ads that might be more relevant to you.
Public information
When we use the phrase "public information" (which we sometimes refer to as "Everyone information"), we mean the information that is always publicly available. Public is exactly what it sounds like: any registered user of Crusheo will be able to see it.

How we use the information we receive
We use the information we receive about you in connection with the services and features we provide to you and other users like your friends, our partners, and the advertisers that purchase ads on the site. For example:
as part of our efforts to keep Crusheo products, services and integrations safe and secure;
to protect Crusheo's or others' rights or property;
to provide you with location features and services, like telling you and your friends when something is going on nearby;
to measure or understand the effectiveness of ads you and others see, including to deliver relevant ads to you;
to make suggestions to you and other users on Crusheo; and
for internal operations, including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research and service improvement.
Granting us this permission not only allows us to provide Crusheo as it exists today, but it also allows us to provide you with innovative features and services we develop in the future that use the information we receive about you in new ways.
While you are allowing us to use the information we receive about you, you always own all of your information. Your trust is important to us, which is why we don't share information we receive about you with others unless we have:
received your permission;
given you notice, such as by telling you about it in this policy; or
removed your name or any other personally identifying information from it.
Of course, for information others share about you, they control how it is shared.
II. Sharing and finding you on Crusheo
Control each time you message
Always think before you message. Just like anything else you post on the web or send in an email, information you share on Crusheo can be copied or re-shared by anyone who can see it.
Access on phones and other devices
Once you share information with your friends and others, they may be able to sync it with or access it via their mobile phones and other devices.

Advertisers or their partners sometimes place cookies on your computer (or use other similar system technologies) in order to serve ads and to make their ads more effective.
