Use of Information Obtained by AYOMA

When you register with AYOMA, you create your own profile and privacy settings. Your profile information, that include your name, email and photo, are displayed to people in the networks specified in your privacy settings to enable you to connect with other sectors on AYOMA. We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by AYOMA that we think you may find valuable.Profile information is used by AYOMA primarily to be presented back to and edited by you when you access the service and to be presented to others permitted to view that information by your privacy settings. In some cases where your privacy settings permit it, other AYOMA users may be able to supplement your profile.Profile information you submit to AYOMA will be available to users of AYOMA who belong to at least one of the networks you allow to access the information through your privacy settings. Your name, network names, and profile picture thumbnail will be available in search results across the AYOMA network and those limited pieces of information may be made available to third party search engines. This is primarily so that your clients can find you and send a notification. People who see your name in searches, however, will be able to access your profile information based on your privacy settings.AYOMA may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service. For instance, if a client sends you a new message or poke, or someone posts on your review chat wall, you may receive an email alerting you to that fact.Generally, you may opt out of such emails here, though AYOMA reserves the right to send you notices about your account even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.AYOMA may use information in your profile without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as aggregating how many people in a network like a band or movie and personalizing advertisements and promotions so that we can provide you the right audience we believe this benefits you. You can know more about the world around you and, whether there are advertisements, they’re more likely to be interesting to you. For example, if you put a favorite product / service in your profile, we might serve you an advertisement highlighting a screening of a similar one in your town. But we don’t tell the product / service provider who you are.
AYOMA may use information about you that we collect from other sources, including but not limited to newspapers and Internet sources such as blogs, instant messaging services, AYOMA Platform developers and other users of AYOMA, to supplement your profile. Where such information is used, we generally allow you to specify in your privacy settings that you do not want this to be done or to take other actions that limit the connection of this information to your profile (e.g., removing photo tag links).

We do not provide contact information to third party marketers without your permission. We share your information with third parties only in limited circumstances where we believe such sharing is 1) reasonably necessary to offer the service, 2) legally required or, 3) permitted by you.For example:
  1. Your news feed and mini-feed may aggregate the information you provide and make it available to your customers and network members according to your privacy settings. You may set your preferences for your news feed and mini-feed here.
  2. Unlike most sites on the Web, AYOMA limits access to site information by third party search engine “crawlers” (e.g. Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask). AYOMA takes action to block access by these engines to personal information beyond your name, profile picture, and limited aggregated data about your profile (e.g. number of wall postings).
  3. We may provide information to service providers to help us bring you the services we offer. Specifically, we may use third parties to facilitate our business, such as to host the service at a co-location facility for servers, to send out email updates about AYOMA, to remove repetitive information from our user lists, to process payments for products or
services, to offer an online job application process, or to provide search results or links (including sponsored links). In connection with these offerings and business operations, our service providers may have access to your personal information for use for a limited time in connection with these business activities. Where we utilize third parties for the processing of any personal information, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that information to the AYOMA specified purposes.4. If you, members of your network use any third-party applications developed using the AYOMA Platform (“Platform Applications”), those Platform Applications may access and share certain information about you with others in accordance with your privacy settings. You may opt-out of any sharing of certain or all information through Platform Applications on the Privacy Settings page. In addition, third party developers who have created and operate Platform Applications may also have access to your personal information if you permit Platform Applications to access your data. Before allowing any Platform Developer to make any Platform Application available to you, AYOMA requires the Platform Developer to enter into an agreement which, among other things, requires them to respect your privacy settings and strictly limits their collection, use and storage of your information.However, while we have undertaken contractual and technical steps to restrict possible misuse of such information by such Platform Developers, we of course cannot and do not guarantee that all Platform Developers will abide by such agreements. Please note that AYOMA does not screen or approve Platform Developers and cannot control how such Platform Developers use any personal information that they may obtain in connection with Platform Applications. In addition, Platform Developers may require you to sign up to their own terms of service, privacy policies or other policies, which may give them additional rights or impose additional obligations on you, so please make sure to review these terms and policies carefully before using any Platform Application. You can report any suspected misuse of information through the AYOMA Platform and we will investigate any such claim and take appropriate action against the Platform Developer up to and including terminating their participation in the AYOMA Platform and/or other formal legal action.

  2. We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have a good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we may share account or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through using the AYOMA name, or to prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies.
  3. We let you choose to share information with marketers or electronic commerce providers through sponsored groups or other on-site offers.

In any such transfer of information, your user information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy.
