What information does EWSites gather?
EWSites gathers and stores three types of information about users that are subject
to our Privacy Policy:
1.Information users provide to us:
These are voluntary submissions made when creating an account on EWSites or through
your use of the Services, such as your name, date of birth, location and email address
provided during registration, Content posted, or payment information provided during
purchases. Please understand that when you sign into EWSites or post Content, your
information is not anonymous to us.
2.Information we collect when you interact with EWSites:
We keep track of the actions you take on EWSites, such as adding a friend, adding
an application, or posting Content. Also, when you access our Services, we may collect
information about your access method (such as hardware and software attributes),
location, IP address, and pages you visit. In addition, we store certain information
from your browser using “cookies”. (For more on cookies, please see
the section "What are cookies?")
3.Information we receive from third parties:
We do not own or operate the third-party applications, user websitess and other
services offered that you may use or interact with through EWSites (collectively,
“EWSites-enhanced” applications, websitess and services). Whenever you

we will receive information from them, including information about actions you take
and Content you post on that application, websites or service.
Why does EWSites gather information about me?
EWSites collects information in order to provide a safe, efficient and customized
experience. This information allows us to better tailor our content to users' needs
and to help us better understand the demographics of our audience. EWSites may use
some of this information for contacting you, customizing the content and advertising
you view, improving our services, conducting research, and providing anonymous reporting
for clients. We only collect personally identifiable information from you because
you are voluntarily submitting the information to us in order to enjoy certain Services.
How will websitess and Applications on EWSites treat my information?
As mentioned above, we do not own or operate EWSites-enhanced applications, websitess
and services. We take steps to ensure that providers of EWSites-enhanced applications,
websitess and services use information that you share on EWSites in a manner consistent
with your privacy settings and the terms of this Privacy Policy, but we cannot guarantee
that they will follow our rules. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with
the privacy settings of your account, as well as the settings and policies of the
applications, websitess and services that you visit, add or use on EWSites. Here
are some specific things to remember:
•By visiting or becoming a Member of a websites on EWSites, the Content and
information you provide during the registration process (including your email address)
and other interactions with the websites may be accessed by the websites Creator
and their authorized representatives and administrators, as well as any Application
Developer whose Applications run on that websites.
•By adding or using an Application or a service provided by one of our affiliates
or business partners, the information you provide in the interactions with that
Application or service may be accessed by the respective Application Developer,
affiliate or business partner and their authorized representatives.
•Although certain categories of profile information (such as your birthdate)
have privacy settings, others (such as your name, gender, profile photo, geographic
region, list of friends, list of websitess you have joined) are considered publicly
available and have no privacy settings associated with them.
•Even after you remove information from your profile or delete your account,
copies of that information may remain viewable elsewhere to the extent it has been
shared with others, it was otherwise distributed pursuant to your privacy settings
or privacy settings of the websites(s) or Application(s) you used, or it was copied
or stored by other users.
•Certain types of communications you send to other users cannot be removed,
such as messages.
•When you post information on a websites, that information is subject to that
websites’s privacy settings and privacy policy, which may change from time
to time.
•Publicly available information may be accessed by everyone on the Internet,
including third-party search engines that may index, cache and store that information.
You should always review the policies of third party websitess, applications and
services to make sure you are comfortable with the ways in which they use information
you share with them. Any information you share with them is at your own risk. If
you find an application, websites or service that violates our rules, you should
report the violation to us using this automated form, and we reserve the right to
take action as we deem appropriate without assuming any obligation or liability
to do so.

store or "remember" your Member login information (but not your password)
so that you are not required to manually log into the site at every visit. You can
remove or block cookies using the settings in your browser, but in some cases that
may impact your ability to use some of our Services.
Our advertisers and partners may also set cookies through our Services. For more

or maintained by us. We do not control these cookies and users of EWSites Services

your information. We cannot guarantee that only authorized persons will view your

using common sense security practices such as choosing a strong password, using
different passwords for different services, and using up-to-date antivirus software.

How private is the Content I upload?
Any Content uploaded or created using our Services and posted on a websites are
by default hosted for the public and are thus publicly accessible unless explicitly

by data-mining, guessing the address, spidering sites, or other methods. If you

How is information shared?
EWSites will not share your personally identifiable information with others except
as described herein with regards to sharing with EWSites-enhanced applications,
websitess and services and in limited circumstances where we believe such sharing
is reasonably necessary to offer the Services, legally required, or permitted by
you. For example, we may provide information to service providers to help us bring
you the services we offer. Specifically, we may use third parties to facilitate
our business, such as to host the Services at a co-location facility for servers,
to register your domain name, to send out email updates about EWSites, to provide
you with email functionality for your domain, to remove repetitive information from
our user lists, to process payments for products or services, or to provide search
results or links (including sponsored links). In connection with these offerings
and business operations, our service providers may have access to your personal
information for use for a limited time.
Where we utilize third parties for the processing of any personal information, we
implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that
information to the EWSites-specified purposes. We may store personal information
in locations outside the direct control of EWSites (for instance, on servers or
databases co-located with hosting providers).
Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose personal
information to any third party unless we believe that disclosure is necessary: (1)
to conform to legal requirements or to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or
other legal process received by EWSites, whether or not a response is required by
applicable law; (2) to enforce the EWSites Terms of Service or to protect our rights;
or (3) to protect the safety or rights of members of the public or users of the
Services. EWSites reserves the right to transfer personal information to a successor
in interest that acquires rights to that information as a result of the sale of
EWSites or substantially all of its assets to that successor in interest. We may
also transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers,
or dissolution.
How am I notified of changes to this Privacy Policy
We may change this Privacy Policy pursuant to the procedures outlined in our Terms
of Service. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all information
we have about you and your account. If we make changes to this Privacy Policy we
will notify you by publication here.
