9. THIRD-PARTY EMBEDS

What Are Third Party Embeds?

Some of the content that you see displayed on the Platform is not hosted by the Platform. These “embeds” are hosted by a third-party and embedded in the Platform. These files send data to the hosted site just as if you were visiting that site directly (for example, when you load a Platform post page with a YouTube video embedded in it, YouTube receives data about your activity).

Privacy Concerns With Third Party Embeds

The Platform does not control what data third parties collect or what they will do with it. So, third party embeds on the Platform are not covered by this Privacy Policy. They are covered by the privacy policy of the third-party service.

Sharing Information With Third Party Embeds

Some embeds may ask you for Information, such as your email address, through a form. We do our best to keep bad actors off of the Platform. However, if you choose to submit your Information to a third party this way, we don’t know what they may do with it. As explained above, their actions are not covered by this Privacy Policy. So, please be careful when you see embedded forms on the Platform asking for your email address or any other Information. Make sure you understand who you are submitting your Information to and what they say they plan to do with it. We suggest that you do not submit Information to any third-party through an embedded form.

We may from time to time send you service-related announcements when we consider it necessary to do so (such as when we temporarily suspend the Platform for maintenance, or security, privacy, or administrative-related communications). We send these to you via SMS, email, push notifications and any other communication channel. You may not opt-out of these service-related announcements, which are not promotional in nature and used solely to protect your account and keep you informed of important changes to the Platform.
