“Personal Data” means data that allows someone to identify you individually, including, for example, your name, email address, as well as any other non-public information about you that is associated with or linked to any of the foregoing. “Anonymous Data” means data, including aggregated and de-identified data, that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Data; Anonymous Data does not, by itself, permit the identification of individual persons. We collect Personal Data and Anonymous Data as described below. If you’re just browsing our Site, we don’t collect any Personal Information about you.

Our Services are designed to help you share information with the Neobook community. Any personal information that you voluntarily choose to include in a publicly accessible area of the Service will be available to anyone who has access to that content (including other Neobook users), such as your username, name, the description you create, as well as the messages you post, whether on your profile, on our forums or to other users, and the lists you create, people you follow, stories you write, and many other bits of information that result from your use of the Services.

We may use this information to make inferences, like what topics you may be interested in, to develop new products and services for the Neobook community, and to customize the content we show you, including ads. Our default is almost always to make the information you provide through Neobook public to the rest of the Neobook community, but we generally give you features, like direct messages, to make the information more private if you want.

We may share your Personal Data with third-party service providers, but only where it’s necessary to provide any of the Services to you (e.g., email providers, server providers, etc.). When we share data with third-party services that support our delivery of the Services, we require that they protect your Personal Data to the same standards we do. We do not and will not release, rent or sell your Personal Data, except in the following very limited situations:

• To comply with an applicable law (including investigations of any crime), regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request;
• To enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other policies, including investigation of potential violations;
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of Neobook, our employees, our users, or the public;
• If Neobook is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, in which case we will continue to ensure the confidentiality of any Personal Data and give affected users notice before Personal Data is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Our Service may contain links to third-party websites. When you click on a link to any other website or location, you will leave our Service and go to another site, and another entity may collect Personal Data from you. We have no control over, do not review, and cannot be responsible for these third-party websites or their content. Please be aware that the terms of this Privacy Policy do not apply to these third-party websites or their content, or to any collection of your Personal Data after you click on links to such third-party websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of every website you visit. Any links to third-party websites or locations are for your convenience and do not signify our endorsement of such third parties or their products, content, or websites.

We are continuously implementing and updating physical, organizational, contractual and technological security measures to protect your Personal Data from loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. They only employees who are granted access to your Personal Data are those with a business “need-to-know” or whose duties reasonably require such information. On all Neobook platforms, we support encryption on all transmissions to protect Personal Data submitted on our Site.

If you wish to access any Personal Data that we hold about you, or request that we correct or delete the Personal Data that we hold about you, you may contact us via email at support@neobook.org.

If you close your account, it will first be deactivated for a period of six months. When your account is deactivated, while it is not viewable on Neobook, all of your public contributions and comments to the Neobook community will remain (except that they will be anonymized).

For six months after deactivation, it is still possible to restore your account if it was accidentally or wrongfully deactivated, including re-associating your comments and contributions to your profile. After six months, we permanently delete your Personal Data from our systems, except that your anonymized comments and contributions will remain on the Service.
