Privacy Policy
1. Information we collect when you sign up:
When you sign up for Mobafy you must fill out some required fields:
Your unique username is viewable to anyone who visits the website and is used to identify you from other users.
Your email is required so that we can activate your account as well as inform you about certain site functions. It also gives other users the ability to contact you via email should your privacy settings allow this.
Your password is required in order to help prevent unauthorised access to your account, however ,it is hashed and stored in our database.
2. Other information we collect from you.
Other information we collect from you:
Whenever you post a status, add a friend, join a group or perform any other action, we collect the data you provided. This could be as little as telling us you joined a group but it can contain more data should you provide it, such as the content of a post or your profile information.
We also collect information about you from other users should they mention you in their own posts in order to link the information.
We may also collect information from you that may not be apparent at first or publicly viewable. Information such as your IP address, browser, operating system or device and some other details are passed onto us when you connect to Mobafy, and likely stored, which are then used to tailor the Mobafy website to your demands. Metadata that may exist when you upload images is also likely to be stored along with the image.
3. How this information is used:
Most of the information never leaves our server, unless it is posted publicly, and anything that we do release is wiped of any personally identifiable information such as your name to ensure your privacy. An example of information that might be shared with third parties is your location, which helps advertisers provide advertisements appropriate to you. We may also occasionally publish statistics such as the amount of traffic we get from various sources.
4. Privacy options
Most of the stuff you post on Mobafy is viewable to anyone who visits the website regardless of whether they are logged into an account or not. This can, however, be changed in your privacy settings should you wish your profile to be private.
If you decide to make your profile private the following will still be publically viewable:
- Your profile picture
- Your blog (This can be modified, to a degree, on a post by post basis)
- Any content you provide elsewhere such as on the forum
