How We Share Information

We may share information about you in the following ways:

• When you submit content (including a post, comment, location, or broadcast) to a public part of the Services, any visitors to and users of our Services will be able to see that content, the username and Geckoss Id associated with the content, and the date and time you originally submitted the content.


• With your consent, after letting you know what information will be shared, and with whom.


• To third parties helping us offer and improve our service, such as those providing technical tools and analytics services that help us understand how people use our services so we can make it better. We require those companies to observe the limitations in this privacy policy.


• Communauty Safety. We make every effort to ensure that Geckoss is a secure, positive and inclusive platform. To achieve this, we use your information to monitor and take action against users and content that violate our terms of service, community guidelines and other policies. This includes addressing user reports, identifying fraud and malware, and proactively inspecting attachments and other content for illegal or harmful content. Additionally, we use certain information, such as reported content and public posts, to improve our systems and models for more efficiently detecting, categorizing and taking action against prohibited content or conduct.


• If we sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of our assets, including the information identified in this privacy policy, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets in the event of a bankruptcy. We may also share non-personally identifiable, non-aggregate information (for example, anonymized Advertising IDs) with companies that help us improve our products and services, including advertising (such as research companies and analytics providers). As with your personally identifiable information, we require that such companies observe the limitations in this privacy policy.


• To comply with the law. We may share information in response to a request for information if we believe disclosure is required by law, including meeting national security or law enforcement requirements. Where allowed and feasible, we will attempt to provide you with prior notice before disclosing your information in response to such a request. Our Transparency Report has additional information about how we respond to requests from governments and law enforcement entities.

We may disclose aggregate information about how our users use our services in a manner that doesn’t identify you individually.

Third-Party Content and Integrations

Our services may also contain third-party links and search results, include third-party integrations, or offer a co-branded or third-party-branded service. Through these links, third-party integrations, and co-branded or third-party-branded services, you may be providing information (including personal information) directly to the third party, us, or both. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for how those third parties collect or use your information. As always, we encourage you to review the privacy policies of every third-party service that you visit or use, including those third parties you interact with through our services.

How Long We Keep Your Information

Our services lets you share posts with your friends. These posts will be automatically deleted by default from our servers after 48 hours. For detailed information about how long we store different types of content, check out our Support Site.
We store other information for longer periods of time. For example:

• We store your basic account information—like your username and email address until you ask us to delete them.
• We’re constantly collecting and updating information about the things you might like and dislike, so we can provide you with more relevant content. Go here to learn more.

If you ever decide to stop using our services, you can just ask us to delete your account. We’ll also delete most of the information we’ve collected about you after you’ve been inactive for a while—but don’t worry, we’ll try to contact you first!

Keep in mind that, while our systems are designed to carry out our deletion practices automatically, we cannot promise that deletion will occur within a specific timeframe. There may be legal requirements to store your data and we may need to suspend those deletion practices if we receive valid legal process asking us to preserve content or if we receive reports of abuse or other Terms of Service violations. Finally, we may also retain certain information in backup for a limited period of time or as required by law.

• Change or Correct Data: You can edit some of your personal data through your account, or, if you need help, you can contact our services Support and we may be able to change or correct your data in certain cases, particularly if it’s inaccurate or out of date.

State and Region Specific Information

If you’re a user in the European Union, you should know that Geckoss Inc. is the controller of your personal information.

Your right to object

You have the right to object to our use of your information. With many types of data, we’ve provided you with the ability to simply delete it if you don’t want us processing it anymore. For other types of data, we’ve given you the ability to stop the use of your data by disabling the feature altogether. You can do these things in the app. If there are other types of information you don’t agree with us processing, you can contact us.

International Data Transfers

As a U.S based company, we store and use personal data outside the EU.  To ensure adequate protection of personal data in cross-border transfer and/or processing, we use appropriate safeguards as allowed under applicable law or regulation.

Children

Our services are not intended for—and we don’t direct them to—anyone under 13. And that’s why we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. In addition, we may limit how we collect, use, and store some of the information of EU users between 13 and 16. In some cases, this means we will be unable to provide certain functionality to these users. If we need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your information and your country requires consent from a parent, we may require your parent’s consent before we collect and use that information.

Revisions to the Privacy Policy

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. But when we do, we’ll let you know one way or another. Sometimes, we’ll let you know by revising the date at the top of the Privacy Policy that’s available on our website and mobile application. Other times, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our websites’ homepages or providing you with an in-app notification).
