7. PRIVACY

We receive and store any information you enter through the Services or give us in any other way. This includes information that can identify you ("personal information"), including your first and last name, telephone number, postal and email addresses, user name and password. We may also request additional information such as your dining preferences, possible allergies etc. You can choose not to provide such additional information to us, but the information is collected in order to improve the user experience for you.

We automatically collect information from your device when you use the Services. For example, we may collect information regarding your online activity, such as content viewed, pages visited, and searches and/or reservations facilitated or made. One of our goals in collecting this automatic information is to help us understand the interests and preferences of our users and customize your user experience.

When you use the Services we may collect information about your location if you have instructed your device to send such information to the Services via the privacy settings on that device, or if you have uploaded photos tagged with location information. We may, in the future, use the location information collected from your device or photos to enhance your use of the Services by providing you with relevant content and contextual advertising. For example, we may use your location to show you reviews of restaurants near you when you are traveling. You can change the privacy settings of your device at any time, in order to turn off the functionality to share location information with the Services and/or the functionality to tag your photos with location information.

NowWhere will use the information we collect about you for: registration and to manage your account, including to allow your access to and use of the Services; to communicate with you in general, including to provide information about NowWhere; to enable us to publish your reviews, and other content you may post; to respond to your questions and comments; to measure interest in and improve the Services; to prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities; to enforce our Terms of Use; and as otherwise described to you at the point of collection.

NowWhere may retain certain information associated with your account in our archives, including for analytical purposes as well as for recordkeeping integrity. The periods for which we retain your information depend on the purpose for which we collected it and we use it.

We will not retain your personal information for longer than is necessary for our business purposes or for legal requirements. We may retain some information for a period of time after you have closed your account with us, for instance if this is necessary to meet our legal obligations or to exercise, defend or establish legal rights.

NowWhere is committed to protecting the information we collect. We have implemented appropriate administrative, technical, and physical security procedures to help protect the personal information you provide to us.

8. THIRD PARTY CONTENT AND LINKS

Some of the content available through the Services may include or link to materials that belong to third parties, such as third party reservation services. Please note that your use of such third party services will be governed by the terms of service and privacy policy applicable to the corresponding third party. We may obtain business addresses, phone numbers, and other contact information from third party vendors who obtain their data from public sources. We have no control over, and make no representation or endorsement regarding the accuracy, relevancy, copyright compliance, legality, completeness, timeliness or quality of any product, services, advertisements and other content appearing in or linked to the Services. We do not screen or investigate third party material before or after including it on our Application. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion and without any obligation, to make improvements to, or correct any error or omissions in, any portion of the content accessible on the Services. Where appropriate, we may in our sole discretion and without any obligation, verify any updates, modifications, or changes to any content accessible through the Services, but shall not be liable for any delay or inaccuracies related to such updates.

If we terminate your access to the Services or you deactivate your account, your photos, comments and all other data will no longer be accessible through your account (e.g., users will not be able to navigate to your username and view your content), but those materials and data may persist and appear within the Services, e.g., next to a quote you have provided for a certain restaurant.

Upon termination, all licenses and other rights granted to you in these Terms of Use will immediately cease.
