Please review the Terms of Use posted at MobileButter.com, which governs your use of our Products. Your use of the Products indicates to us that you have read and accepted our privacy practices, as outlined in this Privacy Policy and in our Terms of Use.

Applicability
This Privacy Policy only applies to applications or websites owned and/or operated by or for MobileButter, and upon which MobileButter has placed a “link” which, when “clicked”, transfers you to this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy only covers information collected at MobileButter Products, and does not cover any information collected by any other Website (unless otherwise specifically stated or disclosed by MobileButter), its partners, corporate affiliates, licensees or any other company.

Disclosure of Information
1. Personally Identifiable Information: You provide certain personally identifiable information (such as your name, address, birth date or e-mail address and referred to in this Privacy Policy as “PI”) to MobileButter when choosing to participate in various activities on the Website such as uploading videos, posting reviews in our forums, message board, or in the video comments section if applicable, entering contests or sweepstakes, taking advantage of promotions, responding to surveys, or subscribing to newsletters or other mailing lists. Generally, you may browse our Website without providing us with PI. However, there may be times when we ask you to provide us with certain PI, such as when you choose to register with our Website. We may also ask you to provide us with demographic information or information regarding your interests, hobbies or similar information to enhance your online experience. MobileButter reserves the right, at any time, to modify, alter or add features to our Website that require you to register or otherwise provide additional PI or to require registration to access our Website. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you may not be able to participate in or view some of the Website’s features. MobileButter does not sell, rent or share PI collected with other people other than that specifically described herein.

2. Underage users: MobileButter does not knowingly collect PI from children under thirteen (13) years of age. MobileButter Products are not directed to children under the age of 13, therefore, MobileButter does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13 years of age at MobileButter Products. If you are under 13 years of age, do not send any information about yourself to MobileButter. If we discover that a child under the age of 13 has provided MobileButter Products with PI, we will delete that child’s PI from its system.

3. Anonymous Information: When you visit MobileButter Products, our web servers automatically collect website usage information. Website usage information is anonymous information that describes how our visitors use and navigate our Products, and it includes the number and frequency of visitors to each web page, and the time-span of their stays. MobileButter collects the anonymous information automatically sent to us by your web browser, referrer data that identifies the web page visited prior and subsequent to visiting our Products, and IP address. We may also determine what technology is available through your browser in order to serve you the most appropriate version of a web page.

4. Log File Information: When visitors call for pages from our Products, our servers log the visitor’s IP address. MobileButter may collect IP addresses for a range of internal purposes, such as system administration, to report aggregate information to our business partners or to review the number of visits to different pages on our Products.

5. Cookies Information: When you visit the Website, MobileButter may send one or more cookies - a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters - to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. MobileButter does not store any PI in cookies, but it may link the cookie to any information it collects. You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers, which is standard in the Internet industry. MobileButter does not control these cookies, and these cookies are not subject to our Privacy Policy. Visitors to our Products should check the Privacy Policy of the advertiser to determine how it uses cookies. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of our Website may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled.

6. Clear GIFs Information: When you use MobileButter Products, MobileButter may employ “clear GIFs” which are used to track the online usage patterns of our Users anonymously (i.e., in a non-personally-identifiable manner). In addition, we may also use clear GIFs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened by recipients.

If you submit PI to MobileButter through MobileButter Products, then we may employ your personal information to operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of our Products.

Legal Action: MobileButter may disclose information about its users, including PI, when legally required to do so, at the request of governmental authorities conducting an investigation, to verify or enforce compliance with the policies governing our Products and applicable state and federal laws, or to protest against misuse or unauthorized use of our Products. We may also disclose user PI whenever we believe disclosure is necessary to limit our legal liability, to protect or defend our rights or property or protect the safety, rights or property of our users. We also reserve the right to disclose PI and/or non-personally-identifiable information that MobileButter believes, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to enforce the Terms of Use.

2. Corporate Change: MobileButter may sell, transfer or otherwise disclose user information, including PI, to a successor entity in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, the sale of substantially all assets, or other fundamental corporate change respecting the MobileButter Products.
Security

1. You may decline to submit personally identifiable information through our Products, in which case MobileButter may not be able to provide certain services to you.

2. MobileButter takes steps to secure the data you submit to us, including limiting the number of people who have physical access to our user data. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be one hundred percent secure. Therefore, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to MobileButter, and you do so at your own risk.

Consent to Transfer
Our Products are hosted in the United States and are intended for and directed to Users in the United States. If you are a User accessing our Products from the European Union, Asia, or any other region with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use, and disclosure, that differ from United States laws, please be advised that through your continued use of our Products, which are governed by U.S. law, this Privacy Policy, and our Terms of Use, you are transferring your personal information to the United States and you consent to that transfer.

We will post any changes here; therefore, please continue to check back from time to time. However, we will only use the PI you provide to the Website in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy, unless you give us your consent.

Third-party Advertisers
1. MobileButter permits other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to deliver advertisements within our Products. They may also use other tools to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize advertising content.

2. As noted above, MobileButter does not provide any PI to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. However, please note that if MobileButter is requested by an advertiser to show an advertisement to a certain audience and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad-server may determine that you fit the profile of the audience it is trying to reach. The advertiser may also use information regarding your use of our Products, such as the number of times you viewed an ad (but not any PI), to calculate which ads it should send to you.

3. If you are concerned with the use of your non personal information by these third party advertisers, you should consult their respective privacy policies for more information on their practices and for instructions on how to opt-out of certain practices. MobileButter Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other advertisers or Websites.
