User Provided Information Through Integration with Social Networks

Similarly, you may choose to have personal information and other content about you available from MONETIZE, including your location and route information, transmitted to and shared through your social network account.

By setting your Account to integrate with social networks including by signing onto MONETIZE by using your social network account (such as your Facebook  account), you agree to share information (including personal information) between MONETIZE and such social networks, for the purposes provided under this Privacy Policy.

The social network's use of information made available by MONETIZE is governed by that social network's privacy policy and controlled by the social network, not by this Privacy Policy or MONETIZE.

When you connect to the social network account through the Services for the first time or otherwise make the Services interact with your social network account, you will be asked to permit the social network to share your personal information stored on such social network with the Services. We collect your information from your social network account only in accordance with your privacy settings you have set up under your social network accounts.

Accordingly we only collect such information which you allowed the social network(s) to share with third parties (such as your name, email address, list of friends, profile picture, other information you make publicly available via the applicable social network). You understand that the Services may access, make available and store (if applicable and as permitted by the third party social network and authorized by you) such information so that it is available on and through your Account. For example, MONETIZE may allow you to share a photo with your Facebook friends, via the Application.

Please note that certain information which you have defined as private on your third party social network accounts may become public to other MONETIZE Users through the Services if you have defined such information to be public on the Services. For example, if you designate your social network username as "private" in your social network account (to the extent possible under said settings), but have elected to set your MONETIZE account settings as public, then the username will become public on the MONETIZE service.
