We can then identify you across Services - when you sign in, create a Post, upload media etc. We can then also provide you with technical services and to send you notifications and updates.

Your location - this is used to serve you appropriate geo-location content (including but not limited to Posts and Chat) when using our mobile application and site. With your permission we can also determine the timestamp and geo-location of your media, when you post an image, video, comment, audio clip (or otherwise) to a Post.

Lastly, this helps us to display relevant and tailored advertisements and improve your ad experience.

We treat the personal information above as private by default, unless you post, to a Space, where the geo-location of the media is either derived from the metadata of the uploaded media, or determined by other means.

What other SPLACE users see

Our Services are designed to help you share information with the Splace community. Any personal information that you voluntarily choose to include in a publicly accessible area of the Service will be available to anyone who has access to that content (including other Splace users), such as your username, the posts that you create, your location, as well as the messages and media that you post, whether on your profile, in our Spaces or to other users, the people you follow, and many other bits of information that result from your use of the Services.
