The following discloses Tapigo’s information gathering and dissemination practices for its social and market networking applications and website.

Information Collected and Received
Tapigo may collect or receive information about each person who registers with the Tapigo website and/or applications including, but not limited to, user name, password, first and last name, email address, street address, gender, occupation, and interests. Tapigo also collects information on the pages you access and other information you may volunteer, such as survey information.  Tapigo may also collect user location information, as further described in the “Global Positioning System” paragraph below.

Uses of Information
WE WILL NEVER SELL YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, OR ANY OTHER PERSONAL INFORMATION, TO ANY THIRD PARTY WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION.  EVER.

Except as described in this section, we will not disclose your personal information to any third party without notifying you of our intent to share the information and giving you an opportunity to prevent your information from being shared.

From time to time, we may partner with companies based on the interests of our users. These partner companies will never see your email address or any other information that could identify you or be used to contact you directly.

Any exceptions to this policy of sharing your name, address or email address with a partner company will be done only with your permission.

Tapigo reserves the right to disclose information when required by law.

We occasionally use other companies to perform services necessary to our operations. In the course of providing these services, those companies may have access to your personal information. By contractual agreement, those companies must treat your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. However, we will not be liable for any damages that may result from the misuse of your personal information by these companies.

Tapigo may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with Tapigo’s server and to administer Tapigo’s web site. Your IP address may also be used to help identify you and your online profile and to gather broad demographic information.

The Tapigo site registration form requires users to give Tapigo contact information (such as your name and email address) and demographic information (such as your zip code, age, or income level). Tapigo uses your contact information from the registration form to send you  information about Tapigo and promotional material from some of Tapigo’s partners. Your contact information may also be used to contact you when necessary. Tapigo may use demographic and/or profile data to tailor your experience on the Tapigo website and/or applications, show you content that Tapigo thinks you may be interested in, and display content according to your preferences. The demographic and profile data will be shared with third parties ONLY on an aggregate basis.  Furthermore, Tapigo shall have the right to retain records of all data pertaining to use of the website and applications including, but not limited to, usage, activity logs, and click-throughs.  Tapigo may disclose such data to third parties provided it is grouped with other Tapigo users’ data and is presented in an aggregate form.

We may also disclose, on an anonymous basis, statements made by our users.

We do not knowingly collect any information from anyone who we know to be under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 18, you should use this website only with the involvement of a parent or guardian and should not submit any personal information to us. If we discover that a person under the age of 13 has provided us with any personal information, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete such person's personal information from all Tapigo systems.
