The Social Vitamin Privacy Policy describes how we treat personal information when you use Social Vitamin's products and services, including information provided when you use Social Vitamin. In addition, the following describes our additional privacy practices specific to Social Vitamin.

If you use the mobile version of Social Vitamin, the Mobile Privacy Policy applies in addition to this Social Vitamin Privacy Policy.

Information we collect and how we use it

We will record information about your activity - such as posts you comment on and the other users with whom you interact - in order to provide you and other users with a better experience on Social Vitamin services.

We may also collect information about you from other users, such as when someone puts you in one of their friend's list or tags you in a photo. Some users may choose to display information about you publicly, such as by displaying your public profile name and photo on their Social Vitamin Profile in a list of people they’ve added

Social Vitamin Profile.

In order to use Social Vitamin, you need to have a public Social Vitamin Profile visible to the everyone, which at a minimum includes the name you chose for the profile. That name will be used across Social Vitamin services and in some cases it may replace another name you’ve used when sharing content under your Social Vitamin Account. We may display your Social Vitamin Profile identity to people who have your email address or other identifying information.

Posts and other content shared by or with you - such as photos of you - may be visible on your profile to those with whom that content has been shared. You can use the profile settings to see how your profile appears to other individuals.

Friends List.

You can add people into different lists to share information with a specific group. People in your list (but not the name of the list) will appear to others on your Social Vitamin Profile, unless you choose not to display that information. You can manage the people in your list by modifying your privacy settings.

Photos and Videos.

If you upload a photo or video to Social Vitamin, we will store that content in a web server and enable Albums for your Social Vitamin Account. If you do not want us to store metadata (such as photo details associated with your photos and videos, please remove that data before uploading the content.

Notifications.

Notifications may be sent to you or to other people when you take certain actions in Social Vitamin, such as adding people to a friend's list, getting picture tagged or when someone post a comment related to you.

Uses of the collected information

In addition to the above, our uses of the information you provide to us are described in the Social Vitamin Privacy Policy.

We may share aggregate statistics about Social Vitamin activity with the public, our users, and partners, such as publishers, app developers, or connected sites.

Your Choices in addition to those described above

Account Settings.

You can access and edit your account settings - including privacy settings - through Account Settings. Among other things, in Account Settings you can change the settings for notifications we send to you.

Sharing.

You can choose to whom you send items in Social Vitamin. All recipients of a post may be able to see some information about the other people who have received it. Participants added to a group conversation may be able to see the history of that conversation (including participants added to group conversations in the mobile Messenger feature). Also, be aware that when you share something through Social Vitamin, anyone who received it may share it with others.

Third Party Apps.

You may choose to access Social Vitamin through third-party applications (e.g. non-Social Vitamin websites) by authorizing these applications to access all or part of your Social Vitamin Account. The developer of the application may have access to your email address and to the content you have access to in Social Vitamin (such as content friends have shared with you). The developer may also request additional information from you, such as your location for mobile features of Social Vitamin.

App providers (such as game providers) may send you notifications directly. You will need to contact the app provider to change the type and frequency of notifications they send to you.

If your friends use apps, those applications may gain access to content and information about you that those friends can access.
