Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 2024
If you are a minor and unsure about anything in this Policy, please speak with a trusted adult before using YOURS. YOURS is not intended for use by individuals under 13 years of age.
At YOURS, we believe that your personality goes beyond appearances, which is why our platform is designed to reflect your tastes and interests. With that in mind, your privacy is extremely important to us, and this Privacy Policy will help you understand how we collect, use, share, and protect your information.
This Privacy Policy is part of our User Agreement, which also includes our Terms of Service and our Community Standards. It's designed to ensure you are informed about what information we collect, how we use it, when we share it, and how you can manage and control your data. Some terms used in this Privacy Policy may have specific meanings as defined in the User Agreement and should be interpreted consistently.

2. How We Use Information We Receive About You
We do not sell your information to anyone. We carefully manage your data to provide and improve our services. Here's how we use your information:
- Operating and Improving Our Services: To create your account, display content, and improve functionality based on your usage. This includes personalizing your experience based on your tastes and preferences.

3. When We Share Information About You
We only share your information when necessary to provide our Services, protect our platform, or comply with legal obligations. This typically falls into the following categories:

- Other Users: Content you share may be visible to your friends or other users, depending on your privacy settings.
- Service Providers: We work with third-party partners who assist with various services, such as hosting, analytics, and security. We share the minimum necessary data with these providers.
- Ad Partners and Analytics Companies: If we begin serving ads, our partners may use their own tracking technologies (such as SDKs) to help tailor ads to users' interests. We will provide a list of such partners and their privacy policies.
- Partner Integrations: If you use features that require partner integrations (e.g., API links to third-party platforms), we may share relevant data to enable the integration.
- Legal and Compliance: We may share data if required by law or to protect the safety of users, respond to legal requests, prevent fraud, or address security concerns.
- Change in Ownership: If YOURS undergoes a business change such as a merger, acquisition, or sale, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction.
