How is this information shared?

Sharing on our Services

People use our services to connect and share with others. We make this possible by sharing your information in the following ways:

People you share and communicate with

When you share and communicate using our services, you choose the audience who can see what you share.

Public information is any information that you share with a public audience, as well as information in your public profile or content you share on quickbytes.in or another public forum. Public information is available to anyone on or off our services and can be seen or accessed through online search engines, APIs and offline media, such as on TV.

In some cases, people you share and communicate with may download or re-share this content with others on and off our services. When you comment on another person's post or like their content on quickbytes.in, that person decides the audience who can see your comment or like. If their audience is public, your comment will also be public.

People that see content that others share about you

Other people may use our services to share content about you with the audience they choose. For example, people may share a photo of you, mention or tag you at a location in a post or share information about you that you shared with them. If you have concerns with someone’s post, social reporting is a way for people to quickly and easily ask for help from someone they trust.

Apps, websites and third-party integrations on or using our services

When you use third-party apps, websites or other services that use, or are integrated with, our services, they may receive information about what you post or share. In addition, when you download or use such third-party services, they can access your public profile, which includes your username or user ID, your age range and country/language, your list of friends, as well as any information that you share with them. Information collected by these apps, websites or integrated services is subject to their own terms and policies.

New owner

If the ownership or control of all or part of our services or their assets changes, we may transfer your information to the new owner.

Sharing with third-party partners and customers

We work with third-party companies who help us provide and improve our services or who use advertising or related products, which makes it possible to operate our companies and provide free services to people around the world.

Here are the types of third parties that we can share information with about you:

Advertising, measurement and analytics services (non-personally identifiable information only)

We want our advertising to be as relevant and interesting as the other information you find on our services. With this in mind, we use all of the information that we have about you to show you relevant ads. We do not share information that personally identifies you (personally identifiable information is information such as a name or email address that can by itself be used to contact you or identify who you are) with advertising, measurement or analytics partners unless you give us permission. We may provide these partners with information about the reach and effectiveness of their advertising without providing information that personally identifies you, or if we have aggregated the information so that it does not personally identify you.

Vendors, service providers and other partners

We transfer information to vendors, service providers and other partners who globally support our business, such as providing technical infrastructure services, analyzing how our services are used, measuring the effectiveness of ads and services, providing customer service, facilitating payments or conducting academic research and surveys. These partners must adhere to strict confidentiality obligations in a way that is consistent with this Data Policy and the agreements that we enter into with them.

How can I manage or delete information about me?

We store data for as long as it is necessary to provide products and services to you and others, including those described above. Information associated with your account will be kept until your account is deleted, unless we no longer need the data to provide products and services. Bear in mind that information that others have shared about you is not part of your account and will not be deleted even if your account is deleted. Currently users don’t have an option to delete their account on the website.

How do we respond to legal requests or prevent harm?

We may access, preserve and share your information in response to a legal request (e.g. a search warrant, court order or subpoena) if we have a good faith belief that the law requires us to do so. This may include responding to legal requests from jurisdictions outside of India where we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law in that jurisdiction, affects users in that jurisdiction and is consistent with internationally recognized standards. We may also access, preserve and share information when we have a good faith belief that it is necessary to: detect, prevent and address fraud and other illegal activity; to protect ourselves, you and others, including as part of investigations; or to prevent death or imminent bodily harm. For example, we may provide information to third-party partners about the reliability of your account to prevent fraud and abuse on and off our services. Information that we receive about you, including financial transaction data related to purchases made with quickbytes.in, may be accessed, processed and retained for an extended period of time when it is the subject of a legal request or obligation, governmental investigation, or investigations concerning possible violations of our terms or policies, or otherwise to prevent harm. We also may retain information from accounts disabled for violations of our terms for at least a year to prevent repeat abuse or other violations of our terms.

How will we notify you of changes to this policy?
