3. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE
We share your information with: — People who work for us (hosting, payments, tracking, emails); — Related companies for day-to-day operations; — Police or courts when the law says we have to or if something fraudulent is happening; — Buyers if we get acquired or sell our assets. We can share information that doesn't identify anyone with basically anyone.
4. COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
We use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and local storage to see how the Services work, track what people do, and make things better.

5. ADVERTISING
Ad companies use tracking to grab your location and device data so they can show you targeted ads. Turn off behavioral ads in your Apple or Android settings if you want.

Your username and profile show up to other members. Anything you post in tidal circles, forums, or public profiles can be picked up by other people. We're not responsible for what you choose to share with others through the Services.
7. DO NOT TRACK
We don't respond to Do Not Track signals from browsers because there's no real standard for it yet. Check out allaboutdnt.com if you want more info.
