What Information is
collected?
By adding the Apps you agree to share your
name, gender, age and all relevant information about you that you
have authorized others to see on your profile.
We will collect and
record the information you have provided. Other than names and email
addresses provided at your discretion, we don't generally collect any
?Personally Identifying Information? about our users (such as social
security number, telephone number, street address, drivers license
number, etc.), exception being for billing and payments where we
store your billing information such as name, street address, phone
number. We may offer you the opportunity to submit other information
about yourself (such as gender, age, occupation, hobbies, interests,
zip code, etc.), or we may be able to collect that information from
social networking systems on which you have used the Succinct.
In
addition to information about yourself, you may choose to share
information about yourself in other content such as in games. Any
action you perform with other players are considered public, and at
your own discretion. When you visit the Apps your profile picture is
displayed as users who recently used the Apps.
When you use an SNS App
on your social network page or use an SNS App on someone else's page,
we may record information regarding the use of that SNS App, and we
may collect other information that is visible on your social network
page in accordance with the relevant terms of use associated with
that page.
Note that since Apps by
Succinct Applications are served through SNS Apps, it is your
responsibility to read and accept their Terms of Use, as well as
Privacy Policy prior to continuing.
When you invite new
members into your network or send messages through the Service, we
collect and maintain on secure servers the information associated
with those messages, including email addresses and content.
We
may use information about you that we collect from other sources,
including but not limited to newspapers and Internet sources such as
blogs, instant messaging services, our Apps and other users of our
Apps, to supplement your profile.
Our Apps may contain links
to other websites. We are of course not responsible for the privacy
practices of other web sites. We encourage our users to be aware when
they leave our site to read the privacy statements of each and every
web site that collects personally identifiable information. This
Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by
Succinct.
You should also be aware that some content delivered
through our Apps originates with another content provider. Such other
content providers may place ?cookies? on your browser, or otherwise
gather information about you, including by asking you to provide
information through the site itself.
Finally, in order to
provide the best possible service and to allow us to make certain
internal reports and make recommendations, we collect aggregate
information about the use of the Apps, including information about
users accessing the Succinct Applications website or playing Succinct
or using SNS Apps on other sites, such as internet protocol
addresses, browser type, browser language, referring / exit pages and
URLs, other browser history, platform type, number of clicks, domain
names, landing pages, pages viewed and the order of those pages, the
amount of time spent on particular pages, and the date and time
(?Activity Information?).
By using our Apps, you consent to
our retaining all the above-described information in anonymous form
as long as Succinct sees fit.

We do not sell or rent your ?Personally
Identifiable Information? to any third party. We may, however, use
certain information about you that is not personally
identifiable.
We use public information collected to determine
the kinds of content that you would like to view and to assist any
advertisers in targeting their advertising.
We also use your name,
email address and other information on our system to notify you of
new product releases, service notifications, and to solicit your

you do not want to receive further emails.
You understand and
agree that we may access, preserve, and disclose any information we
may have about you and the contents of your account if required to do
so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, preservation or
disclosure is reasonably necessary to avoid liability, to comply with
legal process, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court
order, or to protect our rights and property, or that of our
affiliates or the public. Succinct Applications is not required to
question or contest the validity of any search warrant, subpoena or
other similar governmental request that Succinct Applications

Succinct Applications may maintain copies of your

order to provide the Apps, resolve service problems and correct
errors in the Apps, to communicate with you about the Apps, to
provide you with advertising and promotional information in
connection with the Apps, and to enhance your experience on the Apps.
However, we do not give our partners an independent right to share
this information.
Due to our contractual obligations with
these third parties and the need to share information to deliver and
support the Apps, we cannot provide you with the opportunity to
opt-out of sharing information (whether Personally Identifiable
Information or other information) with these third parties.
Succinct
Applications, certain of its partners, and each of their contractors
and employees may view the Content that you transmit to the Apps to

the right to transfer your personal information in the event of a
transfer of ownership of Succinct Applications or the acquisition of
substantially all the assets of Succinct Applications related to the
business which collected such information, such as acquisition by or

will notify users who have provided email addresses when information
about those users is transferred and becomes subject to a different
privacy policy.

Companies
We use third-party advertising companies to
serve ads on our site and on Apps by Succinct Applications and SNS
Apps. Our system and the third-party advertising technology uses
information derived from Activity Information, Succinct Application
cookies on your hard drive, your visits to our site, the Apps that
you view and the SNS Apps you use to target advertising within our
site or Succinct Apps or SNS Apps. In addition, our advertisers may
use other third-party advertising technology to target advertising on
our site and other sites. In the course of advertisements being
served to you, a unique third-party cookie or cookies may be placed
on your computer. Similarly, third-party advertising companies may
provide us with pixel tags (also called ?clear gifs? or ?beacons?) to
help manage and optimize our online advertising. Beacons enable us to
recognize a browser's cookie when a browser visits the site on which
the beacon is located, and to learn which banner ads bring users to a
given site.
Succinct Applications does not provide any
Personally Identifiable Information to third-party advertising
companies. Note, however, that if an advertiser asks Succinct
Applications to show an advertisement to users with certain
characteristics (for example, women ages 18-24) or a segment of that
group (for example, women ages 18-24 who have viewed certain
categories of content) and you respond to that advertisement, the
third-party advertising company may conclude that you have the
characteristics of the audience that they are trying to
reach.

information. Your account information is located on a secured server

using secure socket layer technology (SSL). (To learn more about SSL,

communications, we request that you not send private information to
us by email or instant messaging services. If you have any questions
