USE OF COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING DATA COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES:
A "cookie" is a small file that we may save on your computer's hard drive that contains non-personal information. These cookies help to give you faster access to pages you have already visited. We may use cookies and similar technologies like pixels, web beacons and local storage to collect information about how you use Services and provide features to you. Cookies also allow you to customize your pages, and optimize your experience using Services. We may also use cookies to help us figure out how many people are using Services, which Services they may be using, and how long they use them. This information helps us figure out which features are highly successful and which might need improvement. You can disable cookies on your computer by indicating this in the preferences or options menus in your browser. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but allow you to disable them. Disabling cookies may prevent you from properly using Services.
SESSION IDS:
"Session IDs" allow us to identify a particular user across multiple web page requests. This Session ID is maintained within your cookie file, where possible. If cookies are not enabled, or if your internet browser program does not support cookies then we may place the Session ID in the requested web page. This allows you to avoid having to continually re-enter certain information such as account name and password for every web page request. This Session ID expires whenever you close your internet browser.
TRACKING AND REPORTING:
Some of our web pages may also contain special electronic images (called a "single-pixel gif" or "gifs") that allow us to gather only non-personally identifiable traffic statistics and other aggregate information about visitors to our sites. (through itself or third parties) may use technology to collect and accumulate anonymous data that helps us understand and analyze the experience of people visiting our web pages and, along with other information you provide, customize your future visits, use of Services and improve our web pages and Services. These tools collect information sent by your device or our Services, including the web pages you visit, add-ons, and other information that assist us improving the Services. For example, we may capture data on the type of browser used, type of operating system used, cookie preferences (whether you have them turned on or off), and search engine keywords (what keywords did you use to get to our site). We may also record the number of visits and paths taken using Services. None of this information is personally identifiable and we only distribute this information to internal staff at Swarmica.
BANNER ADS:
Services may include the use of ad banner partners for the serving and/or targeting of ads, promotions, and other marketing messages. These ads may be provided, in some cases, by a third-party ad service provider. The ad service provider may place or utilize their own unique cookie on your browser, and may use non-personally identifiable information about your visit to our sites, such as the number of times you have viewed an ad. Swarmica is not responsible for the collection of these cookies and is not responsible for the actions of the ad service providers. Swarmica does not sponsor or guarantee any products or services advertised by third-parties on its site. Ad service providers may use information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your use of Services in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you.
DIRECT LINKING URLS OR HOTLINKING:
In order to provide more relevant advertising and monitor user bandwidth usage, Swarmica may gather data from the referrer logs that identify where and how frequently images being hosted by Swarmica are being displayed by third-parties.
INFORMATION FROM THIRD-PARTIES
Swarmica may place links to other products operated by other parties and from time to time may include information and links to third-party products in our promotional email. Some of these other products contain our brand names and trademarks and other intellectual property that we own; others do not. When you click on these links and visit these other products, regardless of whether or not they contain our brand names, trademarks and other intellectual property, you need to be aware that we do not control these other products or their business practices, and that this Privacy Policy does not apply to these other products. Consequently, the operators of these other products may collect different kinds and extent of information about you, and may use and disclose that information in different ways and in extent than we would if it were collected through Services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies and remind you that we will not be responsible for their actions.

Our Service Providers will be given access to your information as is reasonably necessary to provide the Service under reasonable confidentiality terms.

We may remove parts of data that can identify you and share anonymized data with other parties. We may also combine your information with other information in a way that it is no longer associated with you and share that aggregated information.
Any Customer Data that you make public is searchable by other Users and subject to use under our Application Program Interface ("API").

SECURITY PRECAUTIONS
Notwithstanding anything in this Privacy Policy, if there is a Security Emergency then Swarmica may automatically suspend use of the Services. Swarmica will make commercially reasonable efforts to narrowly tailor the suspension as needed to prevent or terminate the Security Emergency. "Security Emergency" means: (i) use of the Services that do or could disrupt the Services, other customers' use of the Services, or the infrastructure used to provide the Services and (ii) unauthorized third-party access to the Services.
Swarmica has security measures in place to help protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control.

Your information may be transferred to and maintained in whole or in part outside of the state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction in which you reside, and may be stored on equipment or in facilities leased or licensed from third-parties. Please note that we may transfer information, including personal information, to a country and jurisdiction that does not have the same data protection laws as your jurisdiction. However, Swarmica cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit to us or guarantee that information on the Service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information and make commercially reasonable efforts to do so, Swarmica cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, which you therefore do at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, however, we make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any information, including images, that you submit for use in publicly available areas. Aside from contact information, we ask that you do not submit any personal information (such as financial information) for display in public areas, as other people who use Services will see it. If you submit such information for display in public areas, Swarmica cannot prevent it from being used in a manner that violates the law, your personal privacy or your safety. By submitting any personal information, including your contact information) for display in public areas, you assume the risks and sole liability arising as a result of such information being displayed. Please do your part to help us. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information, and for controlling access to emails between you and Swarmica, at all times. Your privacy settings may also be affected by changes the social media services you connect to Swarmica make to their services. We are not responsible for the functionality, privacy, or security measures of any other organization.
We are not responsible for the practices employed by any websites or services linked to or from our Service, including the information or content contained within them. Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Service to another website or service, our Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party websites or services.

In addition, you agree that we are not responsible and do not have control over any third-parties that you authorize to access your Customer Data.

Cookies also allow you to customize your pages, and optimize your experience using Services. We may also use cookies to help us figure out how many people are using Services, which Services they may be using, and how long they use them. This information helps us figure out which features are highly successful and which might need improvement. You can disable cookies on your computer by indicating this in the preferences or options menus in your browser. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but allow you to disable them. Disabling cookies may prevent you from properly using Services.
SESSION IDS:
"Session IDs" allow us to identify a particular user across multiple web page requests. This Session ID is maintained within your cookie file, where possible. If cookies are not enabled, or if your internet browser program does not support cookies then we may place the Session ID in the requested web page. This allows you to avoid having to continually re-enter certain information such as account name and password for every web page request. This Session ID expires whenever you close your internet browser.
TRACKING AND REPORTING:
Some of our web pages may also contain special electronic images (called a "single-pixel gif" or "gifs") that allow us to gather only non-personally identifiable traffic statistics and other aggregate information about visitors to our sites. (through itself or third parties) may use technology to collect and accumulate anonymous data that helps us understand and analyze the experience of people visiting our web pages and, along with other information you provide, customize your future visits, use of Services and improve our web pages and Services. These tools collect information sent by your device or our Services, including the web pages you visit, add-ons, and other information that assist us improving the Services. For example, we may capture data on the type of browser used, type of operating system used, cookie preferences (whether you have them turned on or off), and search engine keywords (what keywords did you use to get to our site). We may also record the number of visits and paths taken using Services. None of this information is personally identifiable and we only distribute this information to internal staff at Swarmica.
BANNER ADS:
Services may include the use of ad banner partners for the serving and/or targeting of ads, promotions, and other marketing messages. These ads may be provided, in some cases, by a third-party ad service provider. The ad service provider may place or utilize their own unique cookie on your browser, and may use non-personally identifiable information about your visit to our sites, such as the number of times you have viewed an ad. Swarmica is not responsible for the collection of these cookies and is not responsible for the actions of the ad service providers. Swarmica does not sponsor or guarantee any products or services advertised by third-parties on its site. Ad service providers may use information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your use of Services in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you.
DIRECT LINKING URLS OR HOTLINKING:
In order to provide more relevant advertising and monitor user bandwidth usage, Swarmica may gather data from the referrer logs that identify where and how frequently images being hosted by Swarmica are being displayed by third-parties.
INFORMATION FROM THIRD-PARTIES
Swarmica may place links to other products operated by other parties and from time to time may include information and links to third-party products in our promotional email. Some of these other products contain our brand names and trademarks and other intellectual property that we own; others do not. When you click on these links and visit these other products, regardless of whether or not they contain our brand names, trademarks and other intellectual property, you need to be aware that we do not control these other products or their business practices, and that this Privacy Policy does not apply to these other products. Consequently, the operators of these other products may collect different kinds and extent of information about you, and may use and disclose that information in different ways and in extent than we would if it were collected through Services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies and remind you that we will not be responsible for their actions.

SECURITY PRECAUTIONS
Notwithstanding anything in this Privacy Policy, if there is a Security Emergency then Swarmica may automatically suspend use of the Services. Swarmica will make commercially reasonable efforts to narrowly tailor the suspension as needed to prevent or terminate the Security Emergency.

Swarmica has security measures in place to help protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control.

Your information may be transferred to and maintained in whole or in part outside of the state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction in which you reside, and may be stored on equipment or in facilities leased or licensed from third-parties.

However, Swarmica cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit to us or guarantee that information on the Service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information and make commercially reasonable efforts to do so, Swarmica cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, which you therefore do at your own risk.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to any information, including images, that you submit for use in publicly available areas. Aside from contact information, we ask that you do not submit any personal information (such as financial information) for display in public areas, as other people who use Services will see it. If you submit such information for display in public areas, Swarmica cannot prevent it from being used in a manner that violates the law, your personal privacy or your safety. By submitting any personal information, including your contact information) for display in public areas, you assume the risks and sole liability arising as a result of such information being displayed. Please do your part to help us. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information, and for controlling access to emails between you and Swarmica, at all times. Your privacy settings may also be affected by changes the social media services you connect to Swarmica make to their services. We are not responsible for the functionality, privacy, or security measures of any other organization.
We are not responsible for the practices employed by any websites or services linked to or from our Service, including the information or content contained within them. Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Service to another website or service, our Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party websites or services.
