Touted is committed to protecting your privacy. Please read our Privacy Policy carefully to understand how we collect, use, protect, or otherwise handle your personal information.
This Privacy Policy is intended to inform you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information when you use our Services and the choices you have associated with that data.

By using our Services, you agree to the collection and use of your Personal Information under this policy. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms of Service.
We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy. We will notify you when material updates are made to give you an opportunity to withdraw previously given consent or to deny further use of your data. We may have to update the Privacy Policy in case of new developments, activities, or services or when applicable legislation changes.
We collect Personal Information you voluntarily provide us when you express an interest in obtaining information about us or our Services, when you use our Services, or otherwise when you contact us.

We may collect information about the images and sounds that are part of your User Content, such as identifying the presence and location of displayed objects, landscapes, and faces in images and physical characteristics-qualities, characteristics of sounds, and the text of words spoken within your User Content. We collect this information to enable content recommendations and other non-personally identifiable tasks.
We may access content (including text, images, and video) on your device’s clipboard with your permission.

We may also collect information about your use of our Services (e.g., the content you view, the videos you watch, how you respond to problems you encounter, the content you prefer, the content you save to your “favorites,” the Users you follow, and how you interact with other Users). Based on this information, we may also make assumptions about your interests, gender, age, and other information about you to personalize content.
We may process information about your followers, the number of “likes” you receive, and responses to content you upload to spread your content to other Users and to investigate whether your profile has further potential for collaboration.

We use and collect your Personal Information for the following purposes:
To enhance your User experience, keep our Services safe, and ensure a seamless transaction process.

To analyze patterns in User activity to enhance security measures and improve the efficiency of our Services.
To provide personalized support and assistance based on your interaction history with our Services.
Processing your Personal Information through our systems may lead to automated decisions, which are calculated using automatic processes.
We will rely on our legitimate interest to keep our Services safe and to enhance your User experience. We will not engage in automated decision-making that involves a decision with legal or similarly significant effects solely based on the automated processing of Personal Information unless:
you explicitly consented to the processing,
the processing is necessary for entering into a contract or for its performance, or
when otherwise authorized by applicable law.
You may have rights concerning automated decision-making, including:
the ability to request a manual decision-making process instead, or
contest a decision based solely on automated processing.
The legal basis for collecting and using your Personal Information will depend on the type of data collected and the specific context in which we collect it. In any case, it will be either of the following:
We need to perform a contract with you
You have given us consent
It is in our legitimate business interest, and your rights do not override it
For transaction processing purposes
To comply with our legal obligations
We will retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to serve the legitimate business purposes set out above (for example, to provide you with a requested service). When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible, we will securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible. We may need to retain Personal Information longer to comply with applicable laws, such as those relating to taxes and accounting.
We may share your Personal Information with the following third parties and as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy or at the time of collection.
Users may opt out of receiving targeted advertising on websites through members of the Network Advertising Initiative by clicking here or the Digital Advertising Alliance by clicking here. European Users may opt out of receiving targeted advertising on websites through members of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance by clicking here, selecting the User’s country, and then clicking “Choices” (or a similarly titled link). We also may work with companies that offer their own opt-out mechanisms and may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms linked above.
In addition, your mobile device settings may provide functionality to limit our, or our partners’, ability to engage in ad tracking or targeted advertising using the ‘advertising ID’ associated with your mobile device.
If you choose to opt out of targeted advertisements, you will still see advertisements online, but they may not be relevant to you. Even if you decide to opt-out, not all companies participate in these opt-out programs, so you may still receive some cookies and tailored advertisements from companies that are not listed.
You have options regarding the processing and use of your information by us. You can access, update, and even deactivate your Touted account by visiting your Touted account’s “account settings” section. In addition, you can:
Choose the way we communicate with you.

Prevent the collection of certain geolocation information (e.g., by switching off location services in your device’s settings).

As a registered User, you can modify your marketing preferences in the Notifications section of your Touted account.

While Touted operates globally, we are headquartered in the United States. Therefore, your Personal Information may be transferred to the United States or other locations outside your state, province, or country where privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your state, province, or country.

By using our Services, you understand and consent to your information being transferred and processed as described in this Privacy Policy.
We value the protection of your privacy. We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties cannot defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.
Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of Personal Information to and from our Services is at your own risk. Only access our Services within an environment that you feel is appropriate or secure.
