Privacy Policy
Information We Collect
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Non-personally identifiable information is information that, by itself, cannot be tracked to a specific individual. Tiktala may collect non-personally identifiable information while you are visiting the Site. While providing services and features, Tiktala may collect web surfing data such as your IP address, web pages on the Site that you have visited, time and date, the web site you came through to reach the Site, and whether or not you clicked on any links while at the Site. We may use different types of technologies to collect this information, including cookies and single-pixel GIFs.
If your browser is configured to accept cookies, these cookies will be used to recognize your computer when you revisit the Site to provide you with a better web surfing experience; for example, it allows us to learn how you use the Site and to show you information we think you would want to see. If you wish, you can configure your browser to block cookies; however, your ability to access certain portions of the Site may be affected.
Links to third parties may be displayed on the Site. If you choose to click on a link, Tiktala may provide non-personally identifiable information to the third party. Also, the third party may use cookies or other technologies to collect information when you are visiting their web sites. The information advertisers or other third parties collect is governed by their individual privacy policies, not by Tiktala's privacy policy.
Personally Identifiable Information
While providing various services or features, we may ask you to provide personal information. For example, if you choose to register at the Site, you may be asked to provide your name, email address, telephone number, company, title, password and/or username. If you choose to use the Site, create a profile or post information on features we may offer such as forums, blogs, on-line bulletin boards, or user community, you may elect to provide information, such as your name, telephone number, street address, age, text, messages, feedback, images, suggestions, icons, links to web sites, information regarding what products interest you, product information, bugs, and other comments, or other content ("User Submissions").
Use of the Information We Collect
Use of Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Tiktala may use non-personally identifiable information collected to improve the quality of Tiktala's services; for example, by diagnosing service or technology problems, by assessing and maintaining security, by increasing ad placements on web sites that are generating more web traffic, by presenting you with information that we think you would be interested in seeing, or by allowing you to log in or access your profile information automatically. We may also use the information to count and recognize returning users.
We may use non-personally identifiable information collected to determine user demographics, interests, and behavior and may market Tiktala products by sharing non-personally identifiable information with potential customers or partners. Tiktala also may provide your non-personally identifiable information to contractors so that they can perform services for us.
Use of Personally Identifiable Information
User Submissions and profile information, including without limitation your username, email address, and location. may be viewable by others. Tiktala does not provide personally identifiable information to partners, except if you opt to provide personally identifiable information as part of an inquiry about products or services provided by one of the partners. In that case, we will provide that information to that partner so that they may attempt to provide you with information regarding the products or services about which you inquired. Tiktala may use the personally identifiable information provided by users for internal purposes, such as marketing, administration, or sending you email messages. We may share personally identifiable information with third parties who provide Tiktala with administrative services and with reseller partners.
If Tiktala shares any of the information collected from you with a third party, the third party's use of that information will then be governed by the third party's privacy policy.
If you provide us your email address when requesting information or when signing up for user communities, newsletters, or other services, we may send you email messages to communicate with you or to provide you information that we think you would like to see.
If you provide personally identifiable information for your profile or other User Submissions, other users of the Site will have access to this information.
Other Sharing of Information
We may release any information about any user, including personally identifiable information, if in our sole discretion, release is appropriate to comply with the law, requests or orders from law enforcement, court order, or any investigation. We also may release information to protect our rights, property, or other interests, including those of our customers or users or to prevent illegal activities or violations of the Tiktala Terms of Service Agreement (available here).
In the event that Tiktala, in whole or in part, establishes a partnership with another company, or is acquired by or merged with another company or enters bankruptcy, collected information may be transferred to the partner or the acquiring or merging company.
Notifications/Opt-out
It is Tiktala's policy to provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to users via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through conspicuous posting of such notice on the Site, as determined by Tiktala in its sole discretion. Tiktala reserves the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to our users, provided that you may opt out of certain means of notification. By providing Tiktala your email address you consent to our using the email address to send you notices, including among other things notices required by law, in lieu of postal mail. You may not opt out of certain service related product announcements. We may also use your email address to send you other messages, including changes to Tiktala features and special offers. If you do not want to receive such email messages, you may opt out by changing your account settings or by sending mail to the following postal address:
Attn: Privacy Policy
Tiktala, Inc.
