• Sharing information on FriendUp

This section explains how your privacy settings work, and how your information is shared on FriendUp. You should always consider your privacy settings before sharing information on FriendUp because whatever you post to the site might be viewable to others.

Name and Profile Picture. FriendUp is designed to make it easy for you to find and connect with others. For this reason, your name and profile picture do not have privacy settings. If you are uncomfortable with sharing your profile picture, you should delete it (or not add one). You can also control who can find you when searching on FriendUp or on public search engines using the Websites privacy setting.

Interests. Other users will be able to see the interests they share with you. They will also be able to see how you rate those interests. This is a core feature of our service in connecting users. For this reason, no privacy settings exist for interests you share with other users.

• Contact Information. Your contact information settings control (available when customizing your privacy settings who can contact you on FriendUp, and who can see your contact information such as your email and phone number(s). Remember that none of this information is required except for your email address, and you do not have to share your email address with anyone.
• Personal Information. Your personal information settings control who can see your personal information, such as who you are interested in connecting with.

Posts by Me. You can select a privacy setting for every post you make using the publisher on our site. Whether you are uploading a photo or posting a status update, you can control exactly who can see it at the time you create it. Whenever you share something look for the lock icon. Clicking on the lock will bring up a menu that lets you choose who will be able to see your post. If you decide not to select your setting at the time you post the content, your content will be shared consistent with your Posts by Me default privacy

• Third Party Content. FriendUp takes no responsibility for third-party material posted to the Site. FriendUp does not have any obligation to monitor such third-party material. FriendUp reserves the right to remove or refuse to distribute any material on FriendUp, such as material which violates this Agreement.

• How You Can Change or Remove Information

Editing your profile. You may change or remove your profile information at any time by going to your profile page and clicking “Edit Personal Info.” Information will be updated immediately.

Delete uploaded contacts. If you use our contact importer to upload addresses, you can later delete the list on this help page. You can delete the email addresses of friends you have invited to join FriendUp on your invite history page.

Deactivating or deleting your account. If you want to stop using your account you may deactivate it or delete it. When you deactivate an account, no user will be able to see it, but it will not be deleted. We save your profile information (connections, photos, etc.) in case you later decide to reactivate your account. Many users deactivate their accounts for temporary reasons and in doing so are asking us to maintain their information until they return to FriendUp. You will still have the ability to reactivate your account and restore your profile in its entirety. When you delete an account, it is permanently deleted from FriendUp. You should only delete your account if you are certain you never want to reactivate it. You may deactivate your account on your account settings page or delete your account on this help page.

Limitations on removal. Even after you remove information from your profile or delete your account, copies of that information may remain viewable elsewhere to the extent it has been shared with others, it was otherwise distributed pursuant to your privacy settings, or it was copied or stored by other users. However, your name will no longer be associated with that information on FriendUp. (For example, if you post something to another user’s profile and then you delete your account, that post may remain, but be attributed to an “Anonymous FriendUp User.”) Additionally, we may retain certain information to prevent identity theft and other misconduct even if deletion has been requested. If you have given third party applications or websites access to your information, they may retain your information to the extent permitted under their terms of service or privacy policies. But they will no longer be able to access the information through our Platform after you disconnect from them.

Backup copies. Removed and deleted information may persist in backup copies for up to 180 days, but will not be available to others.

Non-user contact information. If a user provides your email address to us, and you are not a FriendUp user but you want us to delete your address, you can do so on our help page. However, that request will only apply to addresses we have at the time of the request and not to any addresses that users provide to us later.
