Privacy policy :
Our privacy policy informs you about anonymous data collection as well as the acquisition and the use of personal data that may
be collected contacting us. This occurs, for example, when you visit our website or when you get in contact with us via online form,
log-in/out, or make use of website services that require personal data.
Personal data include for example: name, e-mail address, phone number, address, credit card details, birthday, or those data that
contributes to the personal identification of a person.
What We Collect
We collect information you provide to us directly when you use the Services. This includes:
Account information. To create an account, you must provide a username and password. Your username is public, and it doesn’t
have to be related to your real name. You may also provide an email address. We also store your user account preferences and
settings.
Content you submit. We collect the content you submit to the Services. This includes your posts and comments including saved
drafts, your messages with other users (e.g., private messages, chats, and modmail), and your reports and other communications
with moderators and with us. Your content may include text, links, images, gifs, and videos.
Actions you take. We collect information about the actions you take when using the Services. This includes your interactions with
content, like voting, saving, hiding, and reporting. It also includes your interactions with other users, such as following, friending,
and blocking. We collect your interactions with communities, like your subscriptions or moderator status.
Information We Collect Automatically
When you access or use our Services, we may also automatically collect information about you. This includes:
Log and usage data. We may log information when you access and use the Services. This may include your IP address, user-agent
string, browser type, operating system, referral URLs, device information (e.g., device IDs), pages visited, links clicked, the requested
URL, hardware settings, and search terms.
How We Use Information About You
We use information about you to:
Provide, maintain, and improve the Services;
Research and develop new services;
Help protect the safety of our website and our users, which includes blocking suspected spammers, addressing abuse, and
enforcing the WarMap user agreement and our other policies;
Send you technical notices, updates, security alerts, invoices and other support and administrative messages;
Provide customer service;
Communicate with you about products, services, offers, promotions, and events, and provide other news and information we
think will be of interest to you (for information about how to opt out of these communications, see “Your Choices” below);
Monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our Services; and
Personalize the Services and provide advertisements, content and features that match user profiles or interests.
How Information About You Is Shared
When you use the Services, certain information may be shared with other users and the public. For example:
When you submit content (such as a post or comment or public chat) to the Services, any visitors to and users of our Services
will be able to see that content, the username associated with the content, and the date and time you originally submitted the
content. Warmap allows other websites to embed public Warmap content via our embed tools. Warmap also allows third parties
to access public Warmap content via the Warmap API and via other similar technologies. Although some parts of the Services may
be private or quarantined, they may become public (e.g., at the moderator’s option in the case of private communities) and you
should take that into consideration before posting to the Services.
When you send private messages, messages via modmail, or private chats, the recipients of those messages will be able to see
the content of your message, your username, and the date and time the message was sent. Keep in mind that additional users
may be invited to join a private chat after you send a message. Moderators may elect to have modmail forwarded to their email
accounts and, as a result, any webmail received by these moderators will be subject to the terms and policies of the moderator’s
email provider.
When other users view your profile, they will be able to see information about your activities on the Services, such as your
username, prior posts and comments, moderator status, and how long you have been a member of the Services. If you choose
to make the information public, your profile may also include your voting history.
Please note that, even when you delete your account, the posts, comments and messages you submit through the Services may
still be viewable or available on our servers.
Otherwise, we do not share, sell, or give away your personal information to third parties unless one of the following circumstances
applies:
To comply with the law. We may share information in response to a request for information if we believe disclosure is in accordance
with, or required by, any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, including, but not limited to, meeting
national security or law enforcement requirements. To the extent the law allows it, we will attempt to provide you with prior notice
before disclosing your information in response to such a request.
To enforce our policies and rights. We may share information if we believe your actions are inconsistent with our user agreements,
rules, or other Warmap policies, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and others.
Ads and Analytics Partners
We may partner with third-party advertisers, ad networks, and analytics providers to deliver advertising and content targeted to
your interests and to better understand your use of the Services. These third parties may collect information sent by your computer,
browser, or mobile device in response to a request for content, such as unique identifiers, your IP address, or other information a bout
your computer or device. For example:
Advertisers and Ad Networks
Our ad partners and ad networks may use cookies and related technologies to collect information when ads are delivered to you on our
Services, but Warmap does not link to or provide them with your actual Warmap account details. This means that Warmap does not
share your individual account browsing habits with advertisers. Warmap cannot see advertisers’ cookies and advertisers will not see
Warmap cookies.
Analytics Partners
We use analytics partners (such as Google Analytics) to help analyze usage and traffic for our Services. As an example, we may use
analytics partners to analyze and measure, in the aggregate, the number of unique visitors to our Services.
Your Choices
As a Reddit user, you have choices about how to protect and limit the collection, use, and disclosure of information about you.
Accessing and Changing Your Information
You can access and change certain information through the Services. See our Help Center page for more information.
Deleting Your Account
You may delete your account information at any time from the user preferences page. When you delete your account, your profile
is no longer visible to other users and disassociated from content you posted under that account. Please note, however, that the
posts, comments, and messages you submitted prior to deleting your account will still be visible to others unless you first delete the
specific content. We may also retain certain information about you as required by law or for legitimate business purposes after
you delete your account.
Controlling Linked Services’ Access to Your Account
You can review the services you have linked to your account and revoke access to individual services here.
Controlling the Use of Cookies
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or
reject first- and third-party cookies. Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability
and functionality of our Services.
Controlling Advertising and Analytics
Some analytics providers we partner with may provide specific opt-out mechanisms and we may provide, as needed and as
available, additional tools and third-party services that allow you to better understand cookies and how you can opt-out. For
example, you may manage the use and collection of certain information by Google Analytics here.
We also offer you choices about receiving personalized advertisements. You can adjust how we personalize advertisements for
you by visiting your ads preferences here. You may also generally opt out of receiving personalized advertisements from certain
third-party advertisers and ad networks. To learn more about these advertisements or to opt out, please visit the websites of the
Digital Advertising Alliance and the Network Advertising Initiative, or if you are a user in the European Economic Area, Your Online
Choices.
Do Not Track
Most modern web browsers give you the option to send a Do Not Track signal to the websites you visit, indicating that you do
not wish to be tracked. However, there is no accepted standard for how a website should respond to this signal, and we do not
take any action in response to this signal. Instead, in addition to publicly available third-party tools, we offer you the choices
described in this policy to manage the collection and use of information about you.
Controlling Promotional Communications
You may opt out of receiving some or all categories of promotional communications from us by following the instructions in those
communications or by updating your email options in your account preferences here. If you opt out of promotional communications,
we may still send you non-promotional communications, such as information about your account or your use of the Services.
Controlling Mobile Notifications
With your consent, we may send promotional and non-promotional push notifications or alerts to your mobile device. You can
deactivate these messages at any time by changing the notification settings on your mobile device.
Other Information
We take measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration,
and destruction.
