1. Information Collection and Use

Our purpose behind collecting information are to deliver and improve our Services and to allow our users to enjoy, use, and easily navigate our Services. To provide you with a consistent user experience and to recognize you as a user across our Services, we may collect and combine data as described below; for example, data collected when you visit the Site or the App from one browser or device may be combined or linked with data collected when you visit the Site or App from a different browser or device, which may also be combined or linked with product usage data.

Generally, we collect two types of information: Personal Information and Other Information. "Personal Information" is information that can be used to identify or is reasonably linkable to you as an individual, and may include Usage Information (as defined below). "Other Information" is information that is not linkable to you as an identifiable individual, including information that has been de-identified or aggregated with data from other users.

Personal Information we may collect. When you use the Services, we may collect the following Personal Information:

Your contact information, such as your first and last name, email address, mailing address, and phone number.
Your user content (including video and images) you provide to use certain features, including recipes you submit.
Your Usage Information, as described further below; and
Your mobile device model and ID number, user settings, location (if you enable this feature), and information about your use of the App when applicable.

Your Personal Data is processed only to the extent necessary to pursue the purposes set out in this Privacy Police. To learn about how long Play Recipe keeps your Personal Data, see Section 3, Data Retention.

Many of our services and features require some Personal Information. If you choose not to provide the necessary Personal Data, you may not be able to use certain services or features. If you choose not to share your Personal Data, features that require personalization will not work for you.

Data From Others. Other parties may provide us with Personal Data. For example, if you create a Play Recipe account using your login from another party’s service (including a social media network such as Facebook), we will assess and collect information about you that your privacy settings on that service permit so that we can create an account for you.

Use of Personal Data. We use your Personal Data to provide our Services and administer your inquiries. For example, when you create an account through the Services and become a Registered User or when you choose to create your own profile, we may ask you for Personal Information so we can create your account or populate your profile (see "Registered Users" below). We may also use your Personal Data to update our Services or features, troubleshoot, protect our Sites, Apps, and users, or provide support to you.

We also use your Personal Data to customize and develop our products and services, personalize our products, make recommendations to you,

and send you relevant offers. We may also use your Personal Data to send you Play Recipe newsletters, marketing or promotional materials, or other information that may be of interest to you. Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent to send you these communications. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive them, please follow the unsubscribe instructions provided in any of the communications or update your user preferences information.

Registered Users. Once you become a Registered User, you will be able to create a profile page by submitting certain Personal Data. The profile page will display your profile name as well as your profile picture, if you choose to upload one or agree to allow a Third-party service (like Facebook) to provide one for you. You can choose what other Personal Data you provide as part of your profile. Providing such information is voluntary and should correlate with the degree of interaction you want to have with Play Recipe and its users.

Other Information. Other Information will be considered Personal Data if it is combined with other data in such a way that enables you to be identified. However, where Other Information is taken alone or combined only with other non-identifying information, it will not be treated as Personal Data. We may use Other Information for any purpose, unless prohibited by law.

We may combine your Personal Data with Other Information and aggregate it with information

collected from other users to attempt to provide you with a better experience, to improve the quality and value of the Services and to analyze and understand how our Services are used. We may also use the combined information without aggregating it to serve you specifically – for instance, to deliver information to you according to your preferences or restrictions.

Usage Information. When you visit or use the Services or use a Play Recipe website, our servers automatically record information that your browser or mobile device sends or transmits ("Usage Information"). This Usage Information may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type or the webpage you were visiting before you came to our Site, pages of our Site or the App that you visit (or of the site you visited that had the Play Recipe feature), the time spent on those pages, information you search for, access times and dates, the model and device ID number of your mobile device, user settings, location (if you enable this feature), and statistics and information about your use of the Site and App. We use this information to provide and improve the Services, develop new products, and offer products and services that may be of interest to you. We also use Usage Information to monitor and analyze use of the Services, for technical administration, to secure the Site and App and protect those who visit the Site or App, to improve functionality and user-friendliness, and to better modify our Services to our visitors' needs.

For example, some of this information is collected so that when you revisit the Services, we will recognize you and can serve advertisements and other information appropriate to your interests. Some of the Usage Information (like your IP address) is Personal Data.

Cookies. Like many websites, we use cookies, pixels, web beacons, APIs and similar technologies to collect Usage Information. Pixels and web beacons are small pieces of code placed on web pages and content that communicate when the page or content has been viewed. A cookie is a small data file that your browser places on your computer that helps us understand how you interact with the Site and use our Services. We use two types of cookies. We use persistent cookies to save information like your search preferences, your account settings and login information, so that we can remember you and your settings when you return to the Site or App, and personalize your experience. We use session cookies to enable certain features of our Services, but unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are deleted when you leave or log off and/or when you close your browser. Third-party advertisers on the Site or in the App may also place or read cookies on your browser. Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies but you can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions of or all functionality of our Services.

We also use other parties (including Google Analytics and Mixpanel) to provide usage analytics for our Services. These other parties will place their own cookies to collect traffic and activity data in order to deliver us relevant metrics and information. The collection of this data by these other parties is subject to their own privacy notices.
