This Privacy Policy is effective as Mar 14, 2024
This Privacy Policy describes the information we collect, why we collect it, how it may be used, and some choices and control you have over your personal information. This policy applies to any information we collect on or through any websites or apps owned or operated by PicMe LLC, as well as any information we collect in person at any of our properties or at any of our events. You must agree to the provisions of this Privacy Policy if you use any of our websites or apps. We refer to our websites and apps as our "platform".
This Privacy Policy is incorporated into, and is a part of, our terms of service, which you can access here: https://picme.com/terms-of-use.html.
We allow users to store, organize and share digital images, recordings and videos on our platform. We also collect other information from and about our users. We refer to the products and services offered on our platform as our "services". We may collect information that could personally identify you or that is linked, or is reasonably linked, to you. We refer to this information as "personal information". Examples of personal information are your:
We don’t consider images, recordings and videos you provide on areas of the platform that may be viewed or shared with others or the general public (collectively, "shared media") to be personal information unless required to be so treated by law. If you do not want shared media to be viewed by other users or the general public, you should not upload it or otherwise provide it to the platform.
We may also collect information that does not, by itself, personally identify you or that is not unique to you. We identify this information as “non-personal information” in this Privacy Policy. Examples of this information are your:
If you provide us with information about your racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, health diagnosis, sexual orientation, or citizenship or immigration status, you consent to us using it for the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy.
When you use our services, we may collect information about which features you use, how you use them, your activity on our platform, and the devices you use to access our services. This information is non-personal information. For example, we may collect information relating to pages you visit, what you click on while visiting, your other interactions with other users and the shared media you view or access. We also collect information from and about the device you use to access our services, including:
If you give us permission, we may collect your precise geolocation (latitude and longitude) through various means, depending on the service and device you’re using, including GPS, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connections. The collection of your geolocation may occur in the background even when you aren’t using the services if the permission you gave us expressly permits such collection. If you decline permission for us to collect your geolocation, we will not collect it. We treat real-time, precise information as personal information. We treat historical or non-precise information as non-personal information.
We may use personal information only for the purposes explained in this privacy policy.
We use personal information to provide our services, including:
We may use personal information to:
We may use personal information to comply with legal requirements, assist law enforcement and enforce or exercise our rights.
We may use non-personal to the same extent we use personal information as described above and for any other legitimate business purposes to the extent permitted by law.
We use third parties to help us operate and improve our services. These third parties may assist us with various tasks, such as data hosting and maintenance, analytics, customer care, marketing, advertising, payment processing and security operations. We may also partner with third parties to perform research or analytics for us. We will only share personal information with these third parties if they agree to keep this information confidential and only use it to perform services for us.
We may share personal information with our subsidiaries and affiliates as long as they agree to comply with this Privacy Policy.
We may share personal information if reasonably necessary to:
We may share personal information:
We may transfer your personal information to a successor to all or a portion of our business if we are involved in a merger, sale, acquisition, divestiture, reorganization or other change of ownership or control.
We may share your personal information with third parties if we have your affirmative consent to do so.
We may share non-personal information with third parties to the extent permitted by law, including in all circumstances we may share personal information as noted above, except that we only share shared media with third parties to the extent necessary to provide our services.
We consider all personal information in hashed, non-human readable form ("anonymized") to be non-personal information. We may share anonymized personal information with third parties for research or analytical purposes, as well as to deliver, customize and report on advertising you see on our platform and third party websites and apps.
We use and may allow others to use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., web beacons, pixels) to recognize you and/or your device(s) and to collect information about your activity on our platform. We may use them for purposes of authenticating you, remembering your preferences and settings, analyzing site traffic and trends, delivering and measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, and allowing you to use features.
Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome) have a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) feature that tells a website that a user does not want to have his or her online activity tracked. If a website that responds to a DNT signal receives a DNT signal, the browser can block that website from collecting certain information about the browser’s user. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, we do not currently respond to DNT signals.
We may use information to select and show personalized ads, offers and other sponsored content that we show you. Although it is our hope that you find the display of advertising to you based on your interests valuable, if you would prefer not to participate in the services offered through these solutions, you can always opt-out of this activity by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) website by clicking http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) by clicking https://youradchoices.com/control .
You have the following options and tools available to you:
You have the following rights:
We may reject requests if we are unable to authenticate you, if the request is unlawful or invalid, or if it may infringe on trade secrets or intellectual property or the privacy or other rights of someone else. Also, we may not be able to accommodate certain requests to object to or restrict the processing of personal information if you desire to use our services and such requests would not allow us to provide such service.
If we deny your privacy request, you may be able to appeal by contacting us and explicitly referencing “Privacy Request Appeal.” If you have concerns about the result of your appeal you may contact the attorney general for your state.
Because we do not sell, share or communicate in any way your personal information or shared media to another company for monetary or other valuable consideration or for cross-context behavioral advertising, “opt out” or similar rights under applicable laws are not relevant to us.
We strive to take what we believe are appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or alteration of your information. Although we take steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your information will always remain secure or safe from unauthorized access or use.
We keep your personal information and shared media only as long as we need it for legitimate business purposes to the extent permitted by applicable law. This includes retention of information for tax and accounting legal requirements, for financial transaction recording, for customer care records to defend us in the event of a future claim, and when required by law or for outstanding or potential claims. We may keep non-personal information other than shared media as long as permitted by applicable law.
Children under the age of 13 are not permitted to use our services. We do not knowingly collect personal information from or about children under the age of 13.
