  1. Information provided by third parties

  • Third Party Content: The Services may permit additional interactions between it and a third party website, service, or other content provider, such as enabling you to “like”, share or otherwise interact with App Content to a third party social networking service (“SNS”). If you choose to “like” or share App Content, or to otherwise interact with or share personal information from or via our Services with a third party site or service, that information may be publicly displayed, and the third party may have access to information about you and your use of our Services (and we may have access to information about you from that third party).  These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting while using our Services, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly.
