General
The Peermodel Mobile Application (“Peermodel”, “Site”, “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a photo sharing platform that inspires its users to showcase their interests through photos. We are thankful that you have decided to engage with our community, and would like to ensure that we maintain a strict privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) that serves to protect you and your information. The following describes our Privacy Policy, how and when personally identifiable information is obtained, utilized, disclosed and protected throughout our Site. Our Site and Mobile Application is intended solely for use by persons 13 years of age or older. All persons under 13 years of age are prohibited.
What information do we collect?
We gather information to enhance and personalize your overall user experience. When you create an Account, you will provide some personally identifiable information, such as your name, picture, location, password and email address.
As permitted by law, we may use your contact information to send you information about our Services, when we feel such information is important. We reserve the right to contact you even if you unsubscribe when we believe it is necessary in connection with the Services, such as for Account recovery purposes. Please note that we do not rent, sell, or share your personally identifiable information with third parties or nonaffiliated companies, except in cases where you have granted permission.
We reserve the right to produce and share “aggregate” information. This aggregate information is data we collect about a segment of our users which does not contain any personally identifiable information. We may use this data to generate quantitative and qualitative information and statistics about our users. This aggregate data may be based on user account information, demographics, usage activity, or related subject matter.
You have the right to decide how much personally identifiable information to disclose, and may change your preferences at any time. As you navigate through our Site and Mobile Application, you will come across some areas that require additional information. You have the right to refuse to submit this information, but this may deny access to specific Peermodel features and experiences. Additionally, it will restrict our ability to provide you with a superior experience. The following provides an expanded list of some of the information we collect:
Account Sign-Up Information – When you sign up, we obtain information that will be used to generate a user profile, which includes your name, email, location, and similar attributes that could be personally identifiable.
User Content and Communication Data – We collect and store user-generated content such as posts, comments, and other interaction within the user community. You should not distribute any personally identifiable information to other users. Additionally, you may review your profile to decide whether you would like to remove certain posts or tags. Your profile is only visible to other users who have signed up for an account.
Cookies and other Automated Data Collection Technologies – A “cookie” is just one or more pieces of information stored as text on your machine. Typically, a web server sends a cookie and the browser stores it. The browser then returns the cookie to the server the next time the page is referenced. We utilizes cookies to gather information that will improve user experience. Some of the ways we may use cookies include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) to enable you to securely access the Site and its functionalities, (2) to remember the choices you make on the Site, (3) for web marketing purposes, such as to understand your use of the Site and your online activities, and to present you with relevant offers and advertisements tailored to your interests, (4) managing and improving the performance and design of the Site, or (5) to increase the effectiveness of ad delivery. At any time, you may delete these cookies by adjusting the appropriate settings on your web browser. We may also collect information about your online activities over time and across third- party websites or online services. Because there is not yet a consensus on how companies should respond to web browser-based or other do-not- track (“DNT”) mechanisms, we do not respond to web browser-based DNT signals at this time. Cookies are not applicable to the Mobile Application.
