When showing Users tailored ads, SPEAK EASIE will not associate a cookie or anonymous identifier with sensitive categories, such as those based on race, religion, sexual orientation, or health.

SPEAK EASIE may process Information on servers in many countries around the world. SPEAK EASIE may process Information on a server located outside the country where Users live.

Your network can also see actions you have taken on our Products, including engagement with ads and sponsored content. We also let other accounts see who has viewed their Speak Easie Stories.

This includes; any information you share with a public audience; information in your public profile on Speak Easie; and content you share on a Speak Easie. You, other people using Speak Easie, and we can provide access to or send public information to anyone on or off our Products, including in other Speak Easie Company Products, in search results, or through tools and APIs. Public information can also be seen, accessed, reshared or downloaded through third-party services such as search engines, APIs, and offline media such as TV, and by apps, websites and other services that integrate with our Products. Content others share or reshare about you You should consider who you choose to share with, because people who can see your activity on our Products can choose to share it with others on and off our Products, including people and businesses outside the audience you shared with. For example, when you share a post or send a message to specific friends or accounts, they can download, screenshot, or reshare that content to others across or off our Products, in person or in virtual reality experiences. Also, when you comment on someone else's post or react to their content, your comment or reaction is visible to anyone who can see the other person's content, and that person can change the audience later. People can also use our Products to create and share content about you with the audience they choose. For example, people can share a photo of you in a Story, mention or tag you at a location in a post, or share information about you in their posts or messages. People in your networks can see signals telling them whether you are active on our Products, including whether you are currently active on Speak Easie, or when you last used our Products. Apps, websites, and third-party integrations on or using our Products. When you choose to use third-party apps, websites, or other services that use, or are integrated with, our Products, they can receive information about what you post or share. For example, when you play a game with your Speak Easie friends or use a Speak Easie Comment or Share button on a website, the game developer or website can receive information about your activities in the game or receive a comment or link that you share from the website on Speak Easie. Also, when you download or use such third-party services, they can access your public profile on Speak Easie, and any information that you share with them. Apps and websites you use may receive your list of Speak Easie friends if you choose to share it with them. But apps and websites you use will not be able to receive any other information about your Speak Easie friends from you, (although your friends and followers may, of course, choose to share this information themselves). Information collected by these third-party services is subject to their own terms and policies, not this one. Devices and operating systems providing native versions of Speak Easie (i.e. where we have not developed our own first-party apps) will have access to all information you choose to share with them, including information your friends share with you, so they can provide our core functionality to you. New owner. If the ownership or control of all or part of our Products or their assets changes, we may transfer your information to the new owner. Sharing with Third-Party Partners We work with third-party partners who help us provide and improve our Products or who use Speak Easie Business Tools to grow their businesses, which makes it possible to operate our companies and provide free services to people around the world. We don't sell any of your information to anyone, and we never will. We also impose strict restrictions on how our partners can use and disclose the data we provide. Here are the types of third parties we share information with: Partners who use our analytics services. We provide aggregated statistics and insights that help people and businesses understand how people are engaging with their posts, listings, Pages, videos and other content on and off the Speak Easie Products. For example, Page admins and business profiles receive information about the number of people or accounts who viewed, reacted to, or commented on their posts, as well as aggregate demographic and other information that helps them understand interactions with their Page or account. Advertisers. We provide advertisers with reports about the kinds of people seeing their ads and how their ads are performing, but we don't share information that personally identifies you (information such as your name or email address that by itself can be used to contact you or identifies who you are) unless you give us permission. For example, we provide general demographic and interest information to advertisers (for example, that an ad was seen by a woman between the ages of 23 and 31 who lives in Matamoras and likes beauty products) to help them better understand their audience. We also confirm which Speak Easie ads led you to make a purchase or take an action with an advertiser. Measurement partners. We share information about you with companies that aggregate it to provide analytics and measurement reports to our partners. Partners offering goods and services in our Products. When you subscribe to receive premium content, or buy something from a seller in our Products, the content creator or seller can receive your public information and other information you share with them, as well as the information needed to complete the transaction, including shipping and contact details. Vendors and service providers. We provide information and content to vendors and service providers who support our business, such as by providing technical infrastructure services, analyzing how our Products are used, providing customer service, facilitating payments or conducting surveys. Researchers and academics. We also provide information and content to research partners and academics to conduct research that advances scholarship and innovation that support our business or mission, and enhances discovery and innovation on topics of general social welfare, technological advancement, public interest, health and well-being. Law enforcement or legal requests. We share information with law enforcement or in response to legal requests in the circumstances outlined below. How do the Speak Easie Companies work together? Speak Easie infastructure, systems and technology with other Speak Easie Companies to provide an innovative, relevant, consistent and safe experience across all Speak Easie Company Products you use. We also process information about you across the Speak Easie Companies for these purposes, as permitted by applicable law and in accordance with their terms and policies. We also work to understand how people use and interact with Speak Easie Company Products, such as understanding the number of unique users on different Speak Easie Company Products. How can I manage or delete information about me? We provide you with the ability to access, rectify, port and erase your data. We store data until it is no longer necessary to provide our services and Speak Easie Products, or until your account is deleted - whichever comes first. This is a case-by-case determination that depends on things like the nature of the data, why it is collected and processed, and relevant legal or operational retention needs. For example, when you search for something on Speak Easie, you can access and delete that query from within your search history at any time, but the log of that search is deleted after 6 months. If you submit a copy of your government-issued ID for account verification purposes, we delete that copy 30 days after review, unless otherwise stated. When you delete your account, we delete things you have posted, such as your photos and status updates, and you won't be able to recover that information later. Information that others have shared about you isn't part of your account and won't be deleted. If you don't want to delete your account but want to temporarily stop using the Products, you can deactivate your account instead. How do we respond to legal requests or prevent harm? We access, preserve and share your information with regulators, law enforcement or others: In response to a legal request (like a search warrant, court order or subpoena) if we have a good faith belief that the law requires us to do so. This may include responding to legal requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States when we have a good-faith belief that the response is required by law in that jurisdiction, affects users in that jurisdiction, and is consistent with internationally recognized standards. When we have a good-faith belief it is necessary to: detect, prevent and address fraud, unauthorized use of the Products, violations of our terms or policies, or other harmful or illegal activity; to protect ourselves (including our rights, property or Products), you or others, including as part of investigations or regulatory inquiries; or to prevent death or imminent bodily harm. For example, if relevant, we provide information to and receive information from third-party partners about the reliability of your account to prevent fraud, abuse and other harmful activity on and off our Products. Information we receive about you (including financial transaction data related to purchases made with Speak Easie) can be accessed and preserved for an extended period when it is the subject of a legal request or obligation, governmental investigation, or investigations of possible violations of our terms or policies, or otherwise to prevent harm. We also retain information from accounts disabled for terms violations for at least a year to prevent repeat abuse or other term violations. How do we operate and transfer data as part of our global services? We share information globally, both internally within the Speak Easie Companies, and externally with our partners and with those you connect and share with around the world in accordance with this policy. Your information may, for example, be transferred or transmitted to, or stored and processed in the United States or other countries outside of where you live for the purposes as described in this policy. These data transfers are necessary to provide the services set forth in the Speak Easie Terms and to globally operate and provide our Products to you. We utilize standard contract clauses, rely on the European Commission's adequacy decisions about certain countries, as applicable, and obtain your consent for these data transfers to the United States and other countries.

When Users upload or otherwise submit content to SPEAK EASIE's Services, Users give SPEAK EASIE a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes SPEAK EASIE makes so that User content works better within Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content. The rights Users grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating, promoting, and improving Services, and to develop new ones. This license continues even if Users stop using SPEAK EASIE's Services.

If Users have an Account, SPEAK EASIE may display their username, uploaded photos, and actions taken on SPEAK EASIE. SPEAK EASIE will respect the choices Users make to limit visibility via their Account settings.

SPEAK EASIE's Services display some content that is not SPEAK EASIE's. This content is the sole responsibility of the entity that makes it available. SPEAK EASIE may review content to determine whether it is illegal or violates SPEAK EASIE's policies, and SPEAK EASIE may remove or refuse to display content that SPEAK EASIE reasonably believe violates SPEAK EASIE's policies or the law. However, that does not necessarily mean that SPEAK EASIE reviews all content.

SPEAK EASIE responds to notices of alleged copyright infringement and terminates accounts of repeat infringers according to the process set out in the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

As an interactive computer service, SPEAK EASIE is provided immunity by the United States Congress in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 from being held responsible for material published to the SPEAK EASIE website by Users. Users will be held solely responsible for the content of anything they post. If a User posts libelous, defamatory, slanderous, or otherwise untruthful remarks about a person or company, they may be putting themselves in legal jeopardy.

SPEAK EASIE MAY REMOVE ANY CONTENT THEY DEEM INAPPROPRIATE AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON.

SPEAK EASIE uses information collected from cookies and other technologies to improve Users' experience and the overall quality of Services. When showing Users tailored ads, SPEAK EASIE will not associate a cookie or anonymous identifier with sensitive categories, such as those based on race, religion, sexual orientation, or health.

SPEAK EASIE will ask for Users' consent before using information for a purpose other than those that are set out in this policy.

SPEAK EASIE may process Information on servers in many countries around the world. SPEAK EASIE may process Information on a server located outside the country where Users live.

How is this information shared?

Your information is shared with others in the following ways:

Sharing on Speak Easie Products

People and accounts you share and communicate with

When you share and communicate using our Products, you choose the audience for what you share. For example, when you post on Speak Easie, you select the audience for the post, such as a group, all of your friends, the public, or a customized list of people. Similarly, when you use Messenger to communicate with people or businesses, those people and businesses can see the content you send. Your network can also see actions you have taken on our Products, including engagement with ads and sponsored content. We also let other accounts see who has viewed their Speak Easie Stories.

Public information can be seen by anyone, on or off our Products, including if they don't have an account. This includes; any information you share with a public audience; information in your public profile on Speak Easie; and content you share on a Speak Easie. You, other people using Speak Easie, and we can provide access to or send public information to anyone on or off our Products, including in other Speak Easie Company Products, in search results, or through tools and APIs. Public information can also be seen, accessed, reshared or downloaded through third-party services such as search engines, APIs, and offline media such as TV, and by apps, websites and other services that integrate with our Products.

Content others share or reshare about you

You should consider who you choose to share with, because people who can see your activity on our Products can choose to share it with others on and off our Products, including people and businesses outside the audience you shared with. For example, when you share a post or send a message to specific friends or accounts, they can download, screenshot, or reshare that content to others across or off our Products, in person or in virtual reality experiences. Also, when you comment on someone else's post or react to their content, your comment or reaction is visible to anyone who can see the other person's content, and that person can change the audience later.

People can also use our Products to create and share content about you with the audience they choose. For example, people can share a photo of you in a Story, mention or tag you at a location in a post, or share information about you in their posts or messages.

People in your networks can see signals telling them whether you are active on our Products, including whether you are currently active on Speak Easie, or when you last used our Products.

Apps, websites, and third-party integrations on or using our Products.

When you choose to use third-party apps, websites, or other services that use, or are integrated with, our Products, they can receive information about what you post or share. For example, when you play a game with your Speak Easie friends or use a Speak Easie Comment or Share button on a website, the game developer or website can receive information about your activities in the game or receive a comment or link that you share from the website on Speak Easie. Also, when you download or use such third-party services, they can access your public profile on Speak Easie, and any information that you share with them. Apps and websites you use may receive your list of Speak Easie friends if you choose to share it with them. But apps and websites you use will not be able to receive any other information about your Speak Easie friends from you, (although your friends and followers may, of course, choose to share this information themselves). Information collected by these third-party services is subject to their own terms and policies, not this one.

Devices and operating systems providing native versions of Speak Easie (i.e. where we have not developed our own first-party apps) will have access to all information you choose to share with them, including information your friends share with you, so they can provide our core functionality to you.

New owner.

If the ownership or control of all or part of our Products or their assets changes, we may transfer your information to the new owner.

Sharing with Third-Party Partners

We work with third-party partners who help us provide and improve our Products or who use Speak Easie Business Tools to grow their businesses, which makes it possible to operate our companies and provide free services to people around the world. We don't sell any of your information to anyone, and we never will. We also impose strict restrictions on how our partners can use and disclose the data we provide. Here are the types of third parties we share information with:

Partners who use our analytics services.

We provide aggregated statistics and insights that help people and businesses understand how people are engaging with their posts, listings, Pages, videos and other content on and off the Speak Easie Products. For example, Page admins and business profiles receive information about the number of people or accounts who viewed, reacted to, or commented on their posts, as well as aggregate demographic and other information that helps them understand interactions with their Page or account.

Advertisers.

We provide advertisers with reports about the kinds of people seeing their ads and how their ads are performing, but we don't share information that personally identifies you (information such as your name or email address that by itself can be used to contact you or identifies who you are) unless you give us permission. For example, we provide general demographic and interest information to advertisers (for example, that an ad was seen by a woman between the ages of 23 and 31 who lives in Matamoras and likes beauty products) to help them better understand their audience. We also confirm which Speak Easie ads led you to make a purchase or take an action with an advertiser.

Measurement partners.

We share information about you with companies that aggregate it to provide analytics and measurement reports to our partners.

Partners offering goods and services in our Products.

When you subscribe to receive premium content, or buy something from a seller in our Products, the content creator or seller can receive your public information and other information you share with them, as well as the information needed to complete the transaction, including shipping and contact details.

Vendors and service providers.

We provide information and content to vendors and service providers who support our business, such as by providing technical infrastructure services, analyzing how our Products are used, providing customer service, facilitating payments or conducting surveys.

We also process information about you across the Speak Easie Companies for these purposes, as permitted by applicable law and in accordance with their terms and policies. We also work to understand how people use and interact with Speak Easie Company Products, such as understanding the number of unique users on different Speak Easie Company Products.

How can I manage or delete information about me?

We provide you with the ability to access, rectify, port and erase your data.

We store data until it is no longer necessary to provide our services and Speak Easie Products, or until your account is deleted - whichever comes first. This is a case-by-case determination that depends on things like the nature of the data, why it is collected and processed, and relevant legal or operational retention needs. For example, when you search for something on Speak Easie, you can access and delete that query from within your search history at any time, but the log of that search is deleted after 6 months. If you submit a copy of your government-issued ID for account verification purposes, we delete that copy 30 days after review, unless otherwise stated.

When you delete your account, we delete things you have posted, such as your photos and status updates, and you won't be able to recover that information later. Information that others have shared about you isn't part of your account and won't be deleted. If you don't want to delete your account but want to temporarily stop using the Products, you can deactivate your account instead.

How do we respond to legal requests or prevent harm?

We access, preserve and share your information with regulators, law enforcement or others:

In response to a legal request (like a search warrant, court order or subpoena) if we have a good faith belief that the law requires us to do so. This may include responding to legal requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States when we have a good-faith belief that the response is required by law in that jurisdiction, affects users in that jurisdiction, and is consistent with internationally recognized standards.
When we have a good-faith belief it is necessary to: detect, prevent and address fraud, unauthorized use of the Products, violations of our terms or policies, or other harmful or illegal activity; to protect ourselves (including our rights, property or Products), you or others, including as part of investigations or regulatory inquiries; or to prevent death or imminent bodily harm. For example, if relevant, we provide information to and receive information from third-party partners about the reliability of your account to prevent fraud, abuse and other harmful activity on and off our Products.

Information we receive about you (including financial transaction data related to purchases made with Speak Easie) can be accessed and preserved for an extended period when it is the subject of a legal request or obligation, governmental investigation, or investigations of possible violations of our terms or policies, or otherwise to prevent harm. We also retain information from accounts disabled for terms violations for at least a year to prevent repeat abuse or other term violations.

How do we operate and transfer data as part of our global services?

We share information globally, both internally within the Speak Easie Companies, and externally with our partners and with those you connect and share with around the world in accordance with this policy. Your information may, for example, be transferred or transmitted to, or stored and processed in the United States or other countries outside of where you live for the purposes as described in this policy. These data transfers are necessary to provide the services set forth in the Speak Easie Terms and to globally operate and provide our Products to you. We utilize standard contract clauses, rely on the European Commission's adequacy decisions about certain countries, as applicable, and obtain your consent for these data transfers to the United States and other countries.
