This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that Word Fun App does not own or control, including but not limited to third party services you access through Word Fun App, the App or the Service, or to individuals that Word Fun App does not employ or manage. As our Service integrates with third party sites, such as Facebook, and other sites and social networks, we assume that you are already aware of the privacy policies of those other sites and networks when using our App and/or our Service and when you allow us to interact with these sites and networks on your behalf.
The key functionality of Word Fun App is to provide to provide a platform designed to pair individuals (“Users”) together, based on compatibility and other factors, and to enable individuals to chat and communicate online through various media including text, video, and picture sharing and linking and accessing third party social network platforms such as Snapchat (collectively, the “Service”).

Personally Identifiable Information, User Contributed Content, and Automatic Information are collectively referred to herein as “Personal Information.” You warrant that the information you provide to us is accurate and current and corresponds to your identity and you have the right to post it. All the requested data in the forms on the App that do not appear as optional are mandatory for the purpose of managing effectively the relationship with Word Fun App. Personal Information may include, but is not limited to, the following:

The Personally Identifiable Information you provide is used for such purposes as: allowing you to set up a user account and profile that can be used to interact with other users and your followers through the Service; providing, maintaining, and improving our Service and the content thereof; to better understand how you interact with Word Fun App providing personalized features of the Service; communicating with you about new features; providing metrics and feedback to potential and existing customers; satisfying customer and user needs; monitoring your use and aggregate users' use of Word Fun App; administering your inquiries; and enforcing our (or our partners' or users') rights. We also use your Personal Information to deliver custom content and advertising that may be of interest to you. If you connect via Word Fun App to a third party website (e.g., using Facebook connect), Word Fun App will receive and might store any information that is made available by such third party website. If you contact us by email, we may keep a record of your contact information and correspondence and will use your email and correspondence if we respond to you.
Using the Service includes creating or uploading different kinds of content to the App, including without limitation, photos, text, messages, posts, html, URLs, pictures, video and other content (collectively, “User Contributed Content”). As you upload User Contributed Content you should be mindful of your privacy as well as the privacy of others. The User Contributed Content that you upload will be collected and retained.
We may receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. Word Fun App may automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, Word Fun App cookie information, and the information you request. Word Fun App may use this traffic data to help diagnose problems with its server, analyze trends and administer the App and the Service. We may also automatically collect usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of users of our App and Service and their components. Word Fun App may use this data in aggregate form, that is, as a statistical measure, but not in a manner that would identify you personally. This type of aggregate data may enable us to figure out how often customers use parts of the App and the Service, so we can make the App and the Service appealing to as many users as possible. As part of this use of information, we may provide aggregate information, not information about you personally, to our partners about how our users, collectively, use the App and the Service.

In connection with any such request, we will require that any such law enforcement or government agency comply with basic principles of free expression, clearly state the legal reason for ascertaining the requested information, and respect the security and infrastructure of the App and the Service by not building any security kinks into our backend. Word Fun App will evaluate all emergency disclosure requests on a case-by-case basis in compliance with relevant law.

We may not comply with requests for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, a request that fails to identify a Word Fun App account or a request that is overly broad, in which case we may seek to narrow that request. Word Fun App will comply with all applicable laws regarding any government or emergency request for information.
