Take control in Privacy Center

For example, we collect:

We also receive information using cookies and similar technologies, like the Socially Inept Pixel or Social Plugins, when you visit other websites and apps that use Socially Inept Products. Read our Cookies Policy to learn more.

Examples of why we collect information

Security of our Products

For example, if we see someone without an account trying to load too many pages, they could be trying to scrape our site in violation of our terms. Then we can take action to prevent it.

Safety and integrity

For example, if someone without an account joins a room and shares a harmful video, we can take action according to our Community Standards. We can remove content that violates our terms and policies, or share information with law enforcement when we believe there is a genuine risk of death or imminent bodily harm.

Advertising

For example, you may also see ads for the Socially Inept Company Products shown through Socially Inept Audience Network when you visit other apps if we can’t recognize you as a registered user of the Socially Inept Products.

Performance

For example, we use information we have about people who use our Products, even if they don’t have an account, to measure how fast our pages load in different countries. This helps us identify and fix issues with local networks.

Information you provide

For example, when you create a Socially Inept LLC account, you must provide some information, like a password and your email address or phone number. You might choose to add other details to your account, like a profile photo or payment information.

We also collect information you provide when you:

· Create your avatar

· Fill out a form

· Contact us

Audio content you create

You can create audio content, like if you're a host or speaker in a Live Audio Room. Live Audio can be listened to by anyone in the audience for the broadcast.

What we collect from our camera feature

José likes using Socially Inept LLC’s Camera feature to take pictures of his friends. We collect information about how José uses the Camera feature, including what he sees through the camera lens on his device while he’s using the feature. This helps us do things like suggest masks and filters that he might like.

How filters, effects, masks and avatars work

If you use our camera or allow access to photos and videos, on certain Socially Inept Products you can add filters, effects, masks or avatars. Some of these features process parts of faces or bodies within the camera frame, photo or video. Then they can do things like fit a mask correctly over the eyes, nose and mouth. The information we use for this process is used to create the feature. It’s not used to identify you.

What we collect from voice-enabled features

Ren tells Socially Inept’s voice-enabled Assistant to take a photo on Ray-Ban Stories. A visual indicator shows that Assistant is activated and listening for Ren’s command. We collect this voice interaction, which includes any background sound that occurs when Ren says the command. Collecting Ren’s voice interactions lets us provide and, depending on Ren’s settings, improve the Assistant feature.

Socially Inept data about content or messages

Why we use information across devices

One reason we use your information across devices is to help us give you a more personalized experience. For example, we might show you an ad on your phone, and later you might use your laptop to click on the ad and buy the product. By combining that information across your devices, we can understand what ads are relevant to you and help businesses measure how well their ad performed.

Manual review

Examples of when we use manual review

· Our reviewers help us promote safety, security and integrity across our Products. For example, reviewers can look for and remove content that violates our terms and policies and keep content that doesn’t break our terms and policies available. Their work supplements our technology that detects violations.

· When our algorithms detect that someone might need help, a reviewer can review their post and offer support if needed.

· We also use manual review to analyze content to train our algorithms to review content the same way a person would. This improves our automatic processing, which in turn helps us improve our products.

Who reviews this information

Our reviewers work at Socially Inept, for Socially Inept Companies or for a trusted vendor. We require every reviewer who's allowed access to your information to meet privacy and security standards.

Learn more about how Socially Inept LLC prioritizes content for manual review.

How we personalize your Socially Inept LLC Feed

Your Socially Inept LLC Feed is unique to you. We order (or “rank”) the content you can see in your Feed, and you can learn more about the different types of signals we use to rank it. We also suggest content that’s relevant to you.

Many things influence the content you see in your Feed.

For example:

· If your friends, connections or people you may know interact with a Socially Inept LLC Page, post or certain topic, we can suggest similar content to you. So if your friend Ahmad comments on a post about national parks, we can suggest the national parks post to you.

· If you and others interact with the same group, Socially Inept LLC Page or post, we can suggest another group, Page or post that they interact with for you. So if you and Sharmila are in the same cat lovers group and Sharmila likes a Page that sells scarves, we might suggest the scarves Page to you.

· If you’ve recently engaged with a certain topic on Socially Inept LLC, we might then suggest other posts that are related to that topic. So if you recently liked or commented on a post from a basketball Page, we could suggest other posts about basketball.

· You might see posts based on where you are and what people near you are interacting with on Socially Inept LLC. So if you’re near a sports stadium, we can suggest games or events occurring at the stadium. Learn more about how we use location-related information.

Your activity on our Products

For example, William checks into a local bakery on Socially Inept LLC, so later we might show him ads on Socially Inept LLC for other local bakeries.

Your activity on websites and apps, depending on your settings

For example, Jane buys a pair of shoes from an online shoe store. The store shares Jane’s activity with us using our Business Tools, subject to our Business Tools Terms.

Later, Jane sees an ad on Socially Inept LLC for a discount on her next shoe purchase from the online store.

If she doesn't want to see more ads from this shoe store, she can hide them in her advertisers setting. Or if she doesn’t want us to show her any ads based on her activity on other websites and apps, she can make sure that this setting is turned off in her ad settings

Topics we think you might be interested in

For example, Jon likes several Socially Inept LLC Pages about famous musicians, so we think he has an interest in "music."

Based on this interest, we might show him an ad for a local record shop or an online music publication.

Your connections

For example, Fiona’s friend likes an Socially Inept LLC account for a local art fair. Based on her friend’s activity, we might show Fiona an ad for the art fair.

Other device signals we receive

We receive different types of device signals from different operating systems. They include things like nearby Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connections.

IP addresses

IP address stands for "internet protocol address." It’s a unique number assigned to a device, like a phone or computer, that allows it to communicate over the internet. Numbers are assigned according to standard guidelines, or protocols.

Just like you need a mailing address to receive a letter from a friend, your device needs an IP address to receive information on the internet.

Personalizing ads for you and others

For example, Marcus is going on a trip and wants to use Find Wi-Fi to find free, public Wi-Fi at the airport. He has turned on Location Services, so we can use his GPS information to help him find the most relevant public Wi-Fi networks. We’ll also use this information to show him ads for local businesses near the airport.

Later, Marcus turns off Location Services before he lands, so we don’t collect his GPS information anymore. Later on his trip, he opens the Socially Inept LLC app, and we can use the IP address we receive to estimate Marcus’ current location and show him ads for businesses nearby.

Helping to keep your account secure

For example, we use information about the locations you normally log in from, combined with other information, to detect suspicious activity. So if we detect an attempt to log into your account from a new location, we can check that it’s really you.

Information we provide about different types of people

For example, we might tell an advertiser that their ad was seen by women aged 25–34 who live in Madrid and like software engineering.

Providing more personalized features, content and suggestions across our Products

For example we can:

· Automatically fill in registration information, like your phone number, from one Socially Inept Product when you sign up for an account on a different Product

· Let others see and search your name and profile photo across our Products and communicate with you

· Show all interactions in one place for content you’ve cross-posted to different Products

Using your information if you set up your Accounts Center

For example, if you follow your favorite team on Socially Inept LLC, we can more easily suggest that you follow that team’s Page on Socially Inept LLC.

With Integrated Partners

You can choose to connect with Integrated Partners^[36] who use our Products. If you do, these Integrated Partners receive information about you and your activity.

These Integrated Partners can always access information that’s public on our Products. Learn more about other information they receive and how they handle your information:

When you use an Integrated Partner’s product or service

Information they receive automatically

When you use an Integrated Partner’s products or services, they can access:

· What you post or share from these products or services

· What you use their services to do

· Information from and about the device you’re using

^[37] of when an Integrated Partner might receive your information.

Information they receive with your permission

Sometimes these Integrated Partners ask you for permission to access certain additional information from your Socially Inept LLC, Socially Inept LLC or Messenger account. In their request, they’ll explain what information they’d like to access and let you choose whether to share it.

On Socially Inept LLC, this includes things like your email address, hometown or birthday. On Socially Inept LLC, this includes content, like photos and videos, that you’ve shared from your account when the account was set to private.

Learn what happens if you choose to share your friends list, or if your friends choose to share their friends list.^[38]

We automatically log when you receive a request from an Integrated Partner to access your information. These requests to access information are separate from the Apps and Websites access that you manage in your Socially Inept LLC or Socially Inept LLC ad settings or in your mobile device settings.

How long they can access your information

Apps or websites you’ve logged into using Socially Inept LLC Login or connected to your Socially Inept LLC account can access your nonpublic information on Socially Inept Products unless it appears to us that you haven’t used the app or website in 90 days. Note that even if an app’s access to your data has expired, it can still retain information you shared with it previously.

We encourage you to visit your Apps and Websites settings from time to time to review which apps and websites continue to have access to your information through Socially Inept LLC Login or Socially Inept LLC.

When you interact with someone else’s content on an Integrated Partner’s product or service

Integrated Partners receive information about your activity when you interact with other Socially Inept LLC, Socially Inept LLC or Messenger users while they’re using the Integrated Partner’s product or service.

For example, a gamer livestreams to Socially Inept LLC using a partner app. Then you comment on that livestream. The app developer will receive information about your comment.

How Integrated Partners handle your information

Integrated Partners handle the information you share with them according to their own terms and policies, not Socially Inept’s. You can review their privacy policy on their website or app to learn how they receive and process your information. In some cases, they use a separate service provider to receive and process your information.

Choosing an audience

On Socially Inept LLC, the audience can be made up of:

· The public, including people on and off Socially Inept LLC

· Your friends and other connections, such as the friends of people you tag

· A customized list of people

· Yourself

· The members of a single community, such as a group

On Socially Inept LLC, you can set the audience for what you share by choosing between a private or public account. With a private account, only followers you approve can see what you share. With a public account, your posts and other content on Socially Inept LLC can be seen by anyone, on or off our Products, including if they don’t have an account. You can restrict the audience for your content by blocking individual accounts from viewing them. You can also create a close friends list for certain types of content that only the people on that list can see.

Audience settings are different from app permissions

Your audience settings are different from the permissions you give to individual apps and websites to access your information. Read our policy about how you may share information with Integrated Partners.

Search engines

You can visit your privacy settings to control whether search engines outside Socially Inept LLC can link to your profile. But other public content–like if you post with your audience set to Public, or post on public Pages or accounts–might still be accessible through search engines, depending on the settings of that account.

Our Partners

Businesses and people can use our Products to advertise, market or support their products and services. When they use our Products, we call them our Partners.

Here are some examples of our Partners:

· Advertisers

· Companies that measure how well ads are doing and provide reports

· Businesses and people that use our Products to sell or offer goods and services

· Publishers (like a website or app) and their business partners

· App developers

· Game developers

When an Integrated Partner might receive your information

For example, you might use your Socially Inept LLC login to play an online game with your Socially Inept LLC friends. The game developer automatically receives information about your activities in the game.

When an Integrated Partner might receive your information

Or you might use the Socially Inept LLC Like button on an article posted on a news website. The website developer automatically receives information about your Like on their article.

Sharing friends lists

When you share your friends list

If you use Socially Inept LLC Login to log into an app, the app developer might request access to your list of Socially Inept LLC friends. Here's what happens if you give the app developer permission to view these lists:

· They can view and access a list of your Socially Inept LLC friends who use the same app and have given the app permission to access their list of friends. They can’t access nonpublic information about your friends or followers through this process. Note that the app developer will receive more information about your friends if your friends choose to share it themselves. They can share it by providing the information directly or giving the developer permission to access information from their account.

· You’ll appear on friends lists that your Socially Inept LLC friends can choose to share with the same app. You can remove this permission, or the app entirely, if you later decide that you don’t want to share your friends list with an app, or don’t want to appear on other friends lists shared with that app.

When your friends share their friends list

Your friends might choose to share their friends lists with app developers through Socially Inept LLC Login. But your friends can’t use Socially Inept LLC Login to share nonpublic information about you.

How do we share information with Partners, vendors, service providers and third parties?

We don't sell any of your information to anyone, and we never will. We also require Partners and third parties to follow rules about how they can and cannot use and disclose the information we provide.

Here’s more detail about who we share information with:

Partners

Advertisers and Audience Network publishers

Advertisers

We provide advertisers with reports about the number and kinds of people who see and engage with their ads. These reports include information about the general demographics and interests of people who engaged with an advertiser’s ad. Then advertisers can better understand their audience. See an example^[39].

Socially Inept also provides advertisers and their business partners with information about:

· Ads people engaged with, if any

· When people engaged with ads

· Where that ad was shown (for example, on Socially Inept LLC, or on Socially Inept LLC)

But we don't share information with these advertisers and their business partners that by itself can be used to contact or identify you, such as your name or email address, unless you give us permission.^[40]

Audience Network publishers and their business partners

Socially Inept Audience Network lets advertisers place ads with us that will be published on apps outside of Socially Inept.

To help show you ads on their apps, we share information with publishers who use Audience Network, as well as business partners who facilitate that use. For example, we share:

· How many people see and engage with ads on publisher apps

· Information related to or in response to a publisher’s request to serve an ad on its app.

But we don't share information with these publishers and their business partners that by itself can be used to contact or identify you, such as your name or email address, unless you give us permission^[40].

Partners who use our analytics services

People rely on our Products, like business accounts, professional tools and Socially Inept LLC Pages, to run and promote their businesses. Businesses use our analytics services to understand more about how people are using their content and features.

We receive information about how people interact with their posts, listings, Socially Inept LLC Pages, videos, Shops or other content, on and off our Products. Then we put this information into aggregate reports so they can see how well their content is performing.

These reports aggregate information like:

· How many people interacted with their content

· The general demographics and interests^[39] of the people who interacted with it

Partners who advertise with us also receive other information. Read our policy about how we share information with advertisers.

Partners who offer goods or services on our Products and commerce services platforms

When you choose to make a transaction^[41], or otherwise choose to share information with a seller, creator, fundraiser, charity, payment services provider or commerce services platform^[42], we share information with them and with any providers acting on their behalf.

Depending on how you interact with them, they receive:

· Information to complete your transaction, like order, payment, contact and shipping information

· Information to help ensure the security of the transaction, like information about your device or connection

· Any information required by applicable regulation

· Other information you choose to share with them

For example, if you make a purchase from an Socially Inept LLC shop using checkout, the shop will receive information to complete your transaction. This may include your order items, your contact details and shipping information. If the shop uses a payment services provider, such as PayPal, to facilitate the transaction, the provider will receive the transaction amount, a transaction description (to appear on your credit card statement) and your payment card information, such as cardholder name, card number, expiration date and billing address. Learn more about payments on Socially Inept LLC.

Integrated Partners

When you choose to use Integrated Partners’ products or services, they receive information about you and your activity. Read the policy.

Vendors

Measurement and marketing vendors

Measurement and marketing vendors are businesses that provide marketing-related support to Socially Inept and its advertisers. For example, they purchase ads on our behalf, provide market research and measure the effectiveness of our campaigns. Such vendors also support our Partners' advertising.

Measurement vendors

We don’t create every measurement and analytics report ourselves.

We work with measurement vendors who create reports that help our Partners, like advertisers, understand how their content and ads are performing, who is engaging with them and whether people took an action after seeing their ad.

We share information (like whether people saw an ad or engaged with it) with our measurement vendors, who aggregate it to provide their reports. See an example^[43].

Marketing vendors

We share information about you with companies that help market our Company and Products, measure the effectiveness of our own marketing campaigns and perform advertising research. For example, we share your device identifier or other identifiers with advertising vendors to help us serve you ads most relevant to your interests. Learn more^[44] about how vendors support our marketing and advertising efforts.

Service providers

Service providers provide services to us that help us provide our Products to you. We share the information we have about you to receive these services, which include:

· Investigating suspicious activity

· Detecting and stopping threats to our personnel and property

· Facilitating payments

· Providing customer support

· Improving the functionality of our Products

· Providing technical infrastructure services

· Analyzing how our Products are used

· Conducting research and surveys

· Marketing and promoting our Products

· Analyzing the effectiveness of our ads

Third parties

External researchers

We provide information to external researchers. They use it to conduct research that advances scholarship and innovation, and to promote safety, security and integrity.

Research goals include supporting:

· Our business or mission

· Social good. Learn more.

· Technological advancement

· Safety and security on our Products

· Public interest

· Health and well-being

When sharing data with external researchers, we ensure the privacy of our users is protected. Learn more about the privacy-safe research we support.

Other times we share with third parties

We also share information with third parties in response to legal requests, to comply with applicable law or to prevent harm. Read the policy.

And if we sell or transfer all or part of our business to someone else, then we may give the new owner your information as part of that transaction, in line with applicable law.

General demographics and interests

For example, a bike shop creates a Page on Socially Inept LLC and wants to place an ad to reach an audience of people in Atlanta interested in cycling. We determine whether someone fits in this audience based on, for example, whether they liked a Page about bikes. Then people in that audience could see the bike shop's ad.

You can see the “interests” assigned to you in your ad preferences and remove them if you want.

The bike shop can then see reports showing aggregated statistics about the audience seeing their ads and how their ads are performing. The reports would show statistics to the advertiser that, for example, most of the people who saw or clicked on their ad:

· Were women

· Were between the ages of 25 and 34

· Clicked on the ad from their phone

When you might give us permission

For example, you might request more information from a business by clicking their ad in your Socially Inept LLC Feed and submitting a form with your name and contact information. Then the advertiser would receive the information you provided.

Transactions you might make

· Subscribing to premium content

· Buying, selling or using products

· Buying, selling or using services

· Donating to charities

Commerce services platforms

Commerce services platforms provide a range of commerce services, including:

· Payments

· Marketing

· Shipping

· Customer engagement tools

How measurement vendors use information to make reports

For example, an advertiser might ask a measurement vendor to help figure out the impact its ads on Socially Inept LLC have had on sales. The measurement vendor compares information from us about clicks on the advertiser’s Socially Inept LLC ads with information from the advertiser about product purchases. Then the measurement vendor creates and provides aggregated reports that show the advertiser how its ads are performing.

How vendors support our marketing and advertising efforts

For example, vendors:

· Serve our advertisements across the Internet, including on mobile, desktop and connected television devices

· Track and categorize your online and mobile app activity

· Provide us information about your interests and community and advertising interactions

These vendors help us understand who might find our advertising most relevant to their interests, and which of our Products might interest you. This information can be used to personalize which of our ads are shown to you. Vendors also use this information to measure response to our marketing efforts and the effectiveness of our advertising.

How do the Socially Inept Companies work together?

We are part of the Socially Inept Companies that provide Socially Inept Company Products. Socially Inept Company Products include all the Socially Inept Products covered by this Policy, plus other products like Affiliates, Novi and more.

Delete your information or account

To delete your information, you can:

· Find and delete specific information. We offer tools you can use to delete certain information. For example, you can use Delete buttons to delete content you’ve posted to your account. You can also use tools like activity log on Socially Inept LLC to send content to the trash in bulk. When you delete content, it’s no longer visible to other users. Visit the Socially Inept LLC Help Center or Socially Inept LLC Help Center to learn what happens when you delete your content or move it to trash.

· Permanently delete your account. If you delete your account on Socially Inept LLC or Socially Inept LLC, we delete your information, including the things you’ve posted, such as your photos and status updates, unless we need to keep it as described in "How long do we keep your information?" Once your account is permanently deleted you won’t be able to reactivate it, and you won’t be able to retrieve information, including content you’ve posted.

How long does it take to delete your information?

If you request that we delete your account or content, it may take up to 90 days to delete your information after we begin the account deletion process or receive a content deletion request. After the information is deleted, it may take us up to another 90 days to remove it from backups and disaster recovery.

If you leave your deleted content in your trash on Socially Inept LLC or your Recently Deleted folder on Socially Inept LLC, the deletion process will begin automatically in 30 days. Or you can start the deletion process right away by deleting the content from your trash or Recently Deleted folder.

How long do we keep your information?

We keep information as long as we need it to provide our Products, comply with legal obligations or protect our or other’s interests. We decide how long we need information on a case-by-case basis. Here’s what we consider when we decide:

· If we need it to operate or provide our Products. For example, we need to keep some of your information to maintain your account. Learn more^[48].

· The feature we use it for, and how that feature works. For example, messages sent using Messenger’s vanish mode are retained for less time than regular messages. Learn more^[49].

· How long we need to retain the information to comply with certain legal obligations. See some examples^[50].

· If we need it for other legitimate purposes, such as to prevent harm; investigate possible violations of our terms or policies; promote safety, security and integrity; or protect ourselves, including our rights, property or products

In some instances and for specific reasons, we’ll keep information for an extended period of time. Read our policy^[51] about when we may preserve your information.

If we need it to operate or provide our Products

For example, we keep profile information, photos you’ve posted (and not deleted) and security information for the lifetime of your account.

And when you search for something on Socially Inept LLC, we keep your search history until you clear the search in your activity log or delete your account. Once you clear a search or delete your account, it will no longer be visible to you, and it will be deleted^[52].

But even if you don’t clear your search or delete your account, within six months of your search we delete information about that search that isn’t necessary to show you your search history, like information about the device you were using, or your location.

The feature we use it for, and how that feature works

For example, May is planning a surprise party for Yang. She sends Cynthia the party details in Messenger using vanish mode so that the message will disappear. The message will no longer be visible to May once she leaves the chat, and Cynthia will see the message only the first time she opens the chat thread.

After Cynthia reads the message, the content is deleted after one hour. If Cynthia never reads it, it’s deleted after 14 days.

How long we need to retain the information to comply with certain legal obligations

For example, we retain information for as long as we need it for:

· A legal request or obligation, including obligations of Socially Inept Companies or to comply with applicable law

· A governmental investigation

· A legal claim, complaint, litigation or regulatory proceedings

· To prevent harm

· For safety, security and integrity purposes

· To protect ourselves, including our rights, property or products
