We respect and protect the privacy of our users and take appropriate steps to safeguard your personal information. This Privacy Policy (the "Policy") explains the types of personal information that we receive and collect when you use the services we offer ("Services"), including but not limited to the Arthur website, mobile and tablet applications.
This privacy policy was last updated on July 25, 2012, and is subject to revision from time to time. If we make any material changes to our policies, we will place a prominent notice on our website or application. If the change materially affects registered users, we will send a notice to you by email or push notification.
When you create a profile on the Arthur site, we may collect personally identifiable information that you provide to us, such as your name, address, phone number, email address, photo or nickname. We will ask you to create a password for your Arthur account, and you may provide us with additional email addresses that we will link with your account. With your permission, we may also access other profile and personal information from third-party services such as Facebook, Twitter and Google. Such information may include passwords, usernames, profile pictures, and other such data that you have posted on third-party sites and services.
The contents of any material that you post directly to the Services, including any text, images, photos, videos and audio, are stored and maintained on our servers in order to publish these items and provide the Services. Your submitted content will be associated with your account. Our systems may also associate personal information with your usage activities in the course of providing Services to you (such as pages you view, the artwork you like and the feeds you follow).
When you send email or other communication to Arthur, we may retain those communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests and improve our Services.
We maintain and process your personal information in order to provide your Arthur account and access. Our services are also used to provide a bookmarklet and mobile bookmarking application, which enable you to easily post and share content across Arthur. Third party login information may be used to allow you to access and share posts through the Service , but your passwords will not be saved or stored by Arthur unless it is required by that service to display the information on Arthur. The content, settings, profiles, preferences and user activity associated with your account will be stored and may be used to make recommendations to your tastes and preferences. We do this in order to provide our Services to you. We do not store passwords for third-party sites when you provide them as part of contact information retrieval.
In addition to the above, Arthur may process personal information for such purposes as:
