Your privacy is very important to us. To help you understand how your privacy is protected we provide an explanation of various parts of the system below. By using bopaboo, you consent to the collection and use of your personal information as outlined in this Privacy Policy.
Groups are topics that can be shared and discussed within the network. In many cases the groups we choose to connect with help define our personality -- hobbies, favorite artists, current events we are passionate about, and organizations we belong to. The creator of a group may choose to make it open to everyone within the bopaboo network or to restrict membership to a specific group of people they choose.
The information we collect about you in the course of our relationship is used to provide our services to you. For example, even as we endeavor to protect your identity, we may use your demographic information to create a database of user profiles, select advertisements based on your information and for marketing analysis. In addition, we look at technical information to diagnose problems with our server, to administer the bopaboo.com site, to enhance our products and to provide our service to you.
Data about searches and search results may be maintained by bopaboo to help in continually improving the service.
Invitations and messages are sent via email on your behalf by bopaboo. If you invite another person to join bopaboo, we will ask for that person's name and online contact information. We store this information and use it to contact and inform that person that he or she has been invited to join the bopaboo.com service. We will send reminders only with your express consent.
bopaboo's computers store user account information, and may cache user profile information for backup purposes. bopaboo employs the following industry standard security measures to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control:
We may share personally identifiable information about our users with third parties, including: (1) with your consent or following the opportunity to opt-in or opt-out for specific programs or features, or (2) when we have a good faith belief it is necessary pursuant to a subpoena or other judicial or administrative order; (3) to process payments for products or services; (4) as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy; (5) where required by law; or (6) at our sole discretion, where we deem necessary to respond to claims, to protect the safety of any individual or the public, or to protect the rights, property or personal safety of bopaboo or any third party. We also share non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous Log File information) with interested third-parties to assist them in understanding the usage patterns for our service.
In the event of a change of ownership or a direct merger with or acquisition by another entity, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity. You have the ability and control to remove or alter your account specific information at any time.
bopaboo may provide links to third party websites or allow other companies, called third-party ad servers, to display advertisements to users. Ad server companies can write and read their own cookies on your computer, just as if you had requested a web page from their website. bopaboo is not responsible for, and does not have any control over, the privacy practices or the content of such third parties.
Please note that information stored or cached on other users' computers is subject to those users' security practices, which are beyond bopaboo's control. Although we make good faith efforts to store information collected or stored by bopaboo in a secure manner, we cannot guarantee complete security. Information held by bopaboo will be maintained for a length of time appropriate to our business needs.
Your user profile contains information about you that you may want to share with others. Protecting the privacy of your profile is your responsibility. We caution you not to share sensitive information (such as social security numbers, credit card numbers, or driver's license numbers) with other users whom you do not know or place such information in your profile.
Any information you choose to display on bopaboo.com, including your profile, will be viewable by the entire Web (i.e., everyone). For your own safety we caution you not to include home addresses, telephone numbers or any other personal information that could allow strangers to contact you outside of the bopaboo service.
To maintain privacy it is also important not to share your password with anyone. Selecting a longer password with a mix of letters, numbers and symbols makes it more difficult for others to guess your password. It is also helpful to change passwords on a regular basis.
Identity theft is a serious concern to all of us. To help protect yourself against identity theft, please remember that bopaboo will NEVER ask for your password in either a non-secure or unsolicited email communication
You may choose to correct or update the information you have submitted to us by editing your profile or account information. If you remove your information, it may continue to persist on back-up media.
