Sharing on Our Services
People use our Services to connect and share with others. We make this possible by sharing your information in the following ways:
People you share and communicate with:
When you share and communicate using our Services, you have the ability to control who may see the information or content that you provide, based on the context and association of other members in relation to you and your activities. For example, when you tag content to a group or event, the members of that group or the attendees of that event may view that content. Additionally, your approved followers may view any of the content you upload to our Services. If you have a public profile setting, your content may be visible to non-following members through our search and discover functionalities.
Public information is any information you share from a profile with public setting, or information you share in a public group or public event. Public information is available to anyone on or off our Services and may be seen or accessed through online search engines.
In some cases, people you share and communicate with may re-share this content with others on and off our Services. When you comment on another person’s post or like their content on RoadStr, that person decides whether the content is public or private based on his or her profile setting.
People that see content others share about you:
Other people may use our Services to share content about you with the audience they choose. For example, people may share a photo of you, mention or tag you at a location in a post, or share information about you that you shared with them.
Apps, websites, and third-party integrations on or using our Services:
When you use third-party apps, websites, or other services that use or are integrated with our Services, they may receive information about what you post or share. For example, if you use the Facebook Login feature, Facebook may get information about your usage of our application.
When you use Facebook Login, we request your permission to access your public profile, which may include your name, profile photo, and friend’s list. We may use this information to enhance your experience on our Services and to facilitate your connections with other Facebook friends utilizing our Services.
