This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of our customer communications and marketing campaigns.

In all of these cases our partners must agree to only use your information consistent with the agreement we enter into with them, as well as this privacy policy.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Blogs


Our Web site offers publicly accessible blogs and community forums. You should be aware that any information you provide in these areas may be read, collected, and used by others who access them.


Member directory


We will NOT list you on our publicly accessible member directory unless you manually change your privacy settings on the Plugin.com.


Control over your profile


Before you start adding things to your profile you can select a specific audience. To do this choose “Settings” at the top menu and then choose “Privacy”. Under "Profile Privacy" you will be given the following options:

  *  Choose “All Registered Members” if you want every member on the site to see your profile.

  *  Choose “Friends and Networks” if you want to share with your friends and networks only.

  *  Choose “Only My Friends” if you want to share with your friends only.

  *  Choose “Only Me” and you will be the only able to view your profile.


For example, if you select "Only Me" as the audience for your friend list, but your friend sets her friend list to "Public", anyone will be able to see your connection on your friend's profile.

If you share your contact information (such as your email address or mobile number) with your friends, they may be able to use third party applications to sync that information with other address books, including ones on their mobile phones.

Always think before you post. Just like anything else you post on the web or send in an email, information you share on Plugin.com can be copied or re-shared by anyone who can see it. When you comment on or "like" someone else's post, or write on their Wall, that person gets to select the audience.


Facebook Connect


You can log in to our site using sign-in services such as Facebook Connect. These services will authenticate your identity and provide you the option to share certain personal information with us such as your name and email address to pre-populate our sign up form. Services like Facebook Connect give you the option to post information about your activities on this Web site to your profile page to share with others within your network.


Personalized Ads


If the advertiser chooses to run the ad (also known as placing the order), we serve the ad to people who meet the criteria the advertiser selected, but we do not tell the advertiser who any of those people are. So, for example, if a person clicks on the ad, the advertiser might infer that the person is an 18-to-35-year-old woman who lives in the US and likes basketball. But we would not tell the advertiser who that person is.

After the ad runs, we provide advertisers with reports on how their ads performed. For example we give advertisers reports telling them how many users saw or clicked on their ads. But these reports are anonymous. We do not tell advertisers who saw or clicked on their ads.


Links to Other Web Sites


Our Site includes links to other Web sites whose privacy practices may differ from those of Plugin Internet Corporation. If you submit personal information to any of those sites, your information is governed by their privacy statements. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy statement of any Web site you visit.


Data Retention


We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. If you wish to cancel your account please see the information above on "Deleting your account"" or request that we no longer use your information to provide you services contact us at support@plugin.com We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.


Change of Control


If the ownership of our business changes, we may transfer your information to the new owner so they can continue to operate the service. But they will still have to honor the commitments we have made in this privacy policy.


Notification of Privacy Statement Changes


We may update this privacy statement to reflect changes to our information practices. If we make any material changes we will notify you by email (sent to the e-mail address specified in your account) or by means of a notice on this Web site prior to the change becoming effective.
