Our Privacy Policy explains how Listly collects, uses, and discloses information about you. The terms “Listly,” "we," "us," and "our" include TwtPickin Inc. and our affiliates. We use the terms “user,” “you,” and “your” to mean any person using our website and associated tools (“Platform”), including any organization or person using the Platform on an organization’s behalf. This Privacy Policy applies to the processing of information about users and other individuals that we collect when you use our Platform, or services we offer, or when you communicate with us. For information about choices that we offer under this policy, please see “Your Choices” below. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the information that you may provide to third parties, such as users, and others with whom you may share information about yourself.
Listly may collect and receive Customer Data and other information and data (“Other”) in a variety of ways. Certain visitors to Listly and websites with embedded Listly lists choose to interact with the lists in ways that require Listly to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Listly gathers depends on the nature of your interaction.
We ask users who sign up to Listly to provide a username and email address. If you use your Facebook, Twitter, or other social networking site (‘SNS’) account information to sign in to Listly, we will collect and store your SNS user ID and related information. Users that purchase a paid version of the Platform provide Listly (or its payment processors) with billing details such as credit card information, banking information and/or a billing address
Platform Content. You may also create a public or private list on Listly, contribute to someone else’s list by voting, commenting, and adding items. These contributions are publicly viewable on Listly, along with their name. This information may be searched by search engine and republished elsewhere on the Web.
Platform Metadata. When an authorized user interacts with the Platform, metadata is generated that provides additional context about the way you interact with the Platform content and other users. For example, Listly logs the lists you visit, people you follow, content and links you interact with, the content you shared, and what third party services are used (if any).
Log Data. As with most websites and technology services delivered over the Internet, our servers automatically collect information when you access or use our Websites or Services and record it in log files. This log data may include the Internet Protocol (IP) address, the address of the web page visited before using the Website or Services, browser type and settings, the date and time the Services were used, information about browser configuration and plugins, language preferences and cookie data
Device Information. We collect information about the computer or mobile device that you use to access our Platform, including the hardware model, operating system and version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information.
Location information. We receive information from you or other third-parties that helps us approximate your location. We may, for example, an IP address received from your browser or device to determine approximate location. Listly may also collect location information from devices in accordance with the consent process provided by your device. This helps us customize the site content based on your approximate location.
Information Collected by Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies. We and our service providers collect information using various technologies, including cookies and pixel tags (which are also called clear GIFs, web beacons, or pixels).

We may collect information about you from other sources, such as through certain features on the Platform you elect to use, but only where these third parties either have your consent or are otherwise legally permitted or required to disclose your information to us. Examples include:

If you register or log into your account through a third-party social media service, we will have access to some of your third-party account information from that service, such as your name and other information in that account, and used for purposes such as improving your Listly recommendations. We may also have access to third-party account information if you use the Platform feature to share a link.
Invitations. If another user sends you an invitation through our Platform, we may receive certain personal information, such as your name, email address, or phone number.

The Platform may offer social sharing features and other integrated tools which let you share actions that you take on our Platform with third-party services, and vice versa. Such features let you share information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you have chosen with the service. The third-party services' use of the information will be governed by the third-parties’ privacy policies, and we do not control the third-parties’ use of the shared data.

We may also share information about you with current or future corporate parents, subsidiaries, or affiliates.

Listly is based in the United States. Information about you will be transferred to, and processed in, the U.S. and countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country and, in some cases, may not be as protective. We have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We employ technical and organizational measures designed to appropriately protect your information that is under our control and that we process on your behalf from unauthorized access collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification or disposal, both during transmission and once we receive it. We store all information that you provide to us on secure servers. We train employees regarding our data privacy policies and procedures, and permit authorized employees to access information on a need to know basis, as required for their role. We use firewalls designed to protect against intruders and test for network vulnerabilities. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to information that you provide to third parties, such as other users with whom you may share information about you. Our Platform may direct you to a third-party service, such as social media services, or a portion of our Platform may be controlled by a third party (typically through embedded content). Disclosure of information to these third parties is subject to the relevant third party’s privacy policy. We are not responsible for the third-party privacy policy or content, even if we link to those services from our Platform
We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will provide notice to you by publishing the most current version and revising the date at the top of this page. If we make any material change to this policy, we will provide additional notice to you, such as by sending you an email or displaying a prominent notice on our Platform.

When you first access the Platform, we will collect information about your location, which we use to make better recommendations for content relevant to where you live or create local lists that look for places around you to add to lists.

Please refer to your device’s guide for additional information on how to adjust location services.

Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Listly and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers. For reference, please read our Cookie Policy.
