Who we may share your information with: We may share your information with third-party business partners (such as a technology partner) to assist them in providing a better experience for you and with partners that we have engaged to help ensure site safety. We may share your information with agents, contractors or partners of ChatCloud in connection with our Services. These agents, contractors or partners are restricted from using your data in any way other than to provide services for ChatCloud. Our site safety team may review User Content, including video posts and messages, for inappropriate content if you have been reported by another user. Also, we may use images and video from special events for promotional and marketing purposes, but this will be disclosed to you in advance of your participation in such events and you’ll be given an opportunity to opt-out of the special event. If we post anything on your behalf on social media sites, you will be given notice and an opportunity to opt-out.

It is also possible that down the road, ChatCloud could be sold or purchased by another company. If that were to happen, User Content may also be transferred. Your information is shared with those that you choose to share with: If you voluntarily post images, video, text or audio to a room, your information is shared with the members of the group. Even if you subsequently delete your account or delete some content, it will still be available to those that previously had access to the content.

Instances where we are required to share your information: ChatCloud will disclose your information where required to do so by law or subpoena or if we reasonably believe that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law and the reasonable requests of law enforcement; (b) to enforce our Terms of Use or to protect the security or integrity of our Service; and/or (c) to exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of ChatCloud, our Users or others.

ChatCloud may allow third-party ad servers or ad networks to serve advertisements on the Service. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, tablet or mobile device, the ads and ad links that appear on the Service, and will automatically receive your IP address when they do so. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, device identifiers, location data, and clear gifs, see above) to compile information about your browser’s or device’s visits and usage patterns on the Service, and to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize the advertising content. ChatCloud does not sell, rent, or share the personal information we collect directly from you or about you from third parties with these third-party ad servers or ad networks for such parties’ own marketing purposes. However, please note that if an advertiser is seeking to reach a particular demographic audience and you respond by clicking on the advertisement, the advertiser or ad server may conclude that you fit the demographic description of the audience they are trying to reach.

The ChatCloud Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, third- party advertisers. Please consult the respective privacy policies of such advertisers or contact such advertisers for more information.
