The Way Mobilespin.net Uses
Information
If you submit personally identifiable information to us through
the Mobilespin.net Sites, then we use your personal information to operate,
maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of the
Mobilespin.net Sites.
Any personal information, audio or video content that
you voluntarily disclose online (on discussion boards, in messages and chat
areas, within your public profile page, etc.) becomes publicly available and can
be collected and used by others. Your account name (not your email address) is
displayed to other Users when you upload audios or videos or send messages
through the Mobilespin.net Sites and other Users can contact you through
messages and comments. Any audios or videos that you submit to the
Mobilespin.net Sites may be redistributed through the internet and other media
channels, and may be viewed by the general public.
We do not use your email
address or other personally identifiable information to send commercial or
marketing messages 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. We may,
however, use your email address without further consent for non-marketing or
administrative purposes (such as notifying you of major Mobilespin.net Site
changes or for customer service purposes).
We use both your personally
identifiable information and certain non-personally-identifiable information
(such as anonymous User usage data, cookies, IP addresses, browser type,
clickstream data, etc.) to improve the quality and design of the Mobilespin.net
Sites and to create new features, promotions, functionality, and services by
storing, tracking, and analyzing User preferences and trends.
We use cookies,
clear gifs, and log file information to: (a) remember information so that you
will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the
Mobilespin.net Sites; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information;
(c) monitor the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns; (d) monitor aggregate
metrics such as total number of visitors, pages viewed, etc.; and (e) track your
entries, submissions, and status in promotions, sweepstakes, and
contests.
When Mobilespin.net Discloses Information
We provide
personally identifiable information and non-personally-identifiable information
to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies, or other businesses or persons for
the purpose of processing such information on our behalf. We require that these
parties agree to process such information in compliance with our privacy policy,
and we use reasonable efforts to limit their use of such information and to use
other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
We do not share your
personally identifiable information (such as name or email address) with other,
third-party companies for their commercial or marketing use 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.
We do share non-personally-identifiable
information (such as anonymous User usage data, referring / exit pages and URLs,
platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third-parties to assist
them in understanding the usage patterns for certain content, services,
advertisements, promotions, and/or functionality on the Mobilespin.net Sites.
We may release personally identifiable information and/or
non-personally-identifiable information if required to do so by law, or in the
good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal
laws (such as U.S. Copyright Law) or respond to a court order, subpoena, or
search warrant.
Mobilespin.net also reserves the right to disclose
personally identifiable information and/or non-personally-identifiable
information that Mobilespin.net believes, in good faith, is appropriate or
necessary to enforce our Terms of Use, take precautions against liability, to
investigate and defend itself against any third-party claims or allegations, to
assist government enforcement agencies, to protect the security or integrity of
our web site, and to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of
Mobilespin.net, our Users or others.
Your Choices
You may, of course,
decline to submit personally identifiable information through the Mobilespin.net
Sites, in which case Mobilespin.net may not be able to provide certain services
to you. You may update or correct your personal profile information and email
preferences at any time by visiting your account profile page. Please note that
media files uploaded by Users to the Mobilespin.net Sites cannot be removed and
remain subject to our Terms of Use. To protect your privacy and security, we
take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your
identity before granting you profile access or making corrections. You are
responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account
information at all times. Please contact Mobilespin.net with any questions or
comments about this Privacy Notice, your personal information, your consent, or
your opt-in or opt-out choices using this contact form.
Third-party
Advertisers, Links to Other Sites
Mobilespin.net allows other companies,
called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements within the
Mobilespin.net Sites. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology
to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on
the Mobilespin.net Sites. They automatically receive your IP address when this
happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or
Web Beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to
personalize the advertising content you see. Mobilespin.net does not provide any
personally identifiable information 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 an advertiser asks Mobilespin.net to show an advertisement to a certain
audience (for example, men ages 18-34) or audience segment (for example, men
ages 18-24 who have viewed certain channels of content) and you respond to that
advertisement, the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that you fit the
description of the audience they are trying to reach. The advertiser may also
use information regarding your use of the Mobilespin.net Sites, such as the
number of times you viewed an ad (but not any personally identifiable
information), to determine which ads to deliver to you.
Our Commitment
To Data Security
Mobilespin.net uses commercially reasonable physical,
managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of
your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of
any information you transmit to Mobilespin.net and you do so at your own risk.
Once we receive your transmission of information, Mobilespin.net makes
commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However,
please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be
accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical,
technical, or managerial safeguards. If Mobilespin.net learns of a security
systems breach, then we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can
take appropriate protective steps. Mobilespin.net may post a notice on the
Mobilespin.net Sites if a security breach occurs. Depending on where you live,
you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing. To
receive a free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your consent
from receiving electronic notice) you should notify us using this contact form.
Our Commitment To Childrens' Privacy
Protecting the privacy of young
children is especially important. For that reason, Mobilespin.net does not
knowingly collect or maintain personally identifiable information or
non-personally-identifiable information on the Mobilespin.net Sites from persons
under 13 years of age, and no part of our website is directed to persons under
13. If you are under 13 years of age, then please do not use or access the
Mobilespin.net Sites at any time or in any manner. If Mobilespin.net learns that
personally identifiable information of persons under 13 years of age has been
collected on the Mobilespin.net Sites without verified parental consent, then
Mobilespin.net will take the appropriate steps to delete this information.

In the Event of Merger, Sale, or
Bankruptcy
In the event that Mobilespin.net is acquired by or merged with a
third party entity, we reserve the right, in any of these circumstances, to
transfer or assign the information we have collected from our Users as part of
such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control. In the unlikely
event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment
for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles
affecting creditors' rights generally, we may not be able to control how your
personal information is treated, transferred, or used.
