Onward Transfers to Third Parties

We will only share personal information with other companies or individuals outside of Eastmedia in the following limited circumstances:

You have given us your consent. We require your opt-in consent for the sharing of any personal information.

We share personal information with other trusted businesses or persons for processing personal information on our behalf. We require that these parties agree to process such information based on our instructions and in compliance with policies that provide levels of protection that are the same as or greater than those provided in this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

We have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce applicable Terms of Service regarding the Website, including investigation of potential violations thereof, or (c) protect against imminent harm to the rights, property or safety of Eastmedia, its users, any person or thing or the general public as required or permitted by law.

We may use demographic and preference information to allow advertising on our Website to be targeted, in aggregate, to the users for whom they are most pertinent. We may also share with third parties certain pieces of aggregated, non-personal information. For example, we may share the number of users who viewed a particular post or tagged a certain photograph. Such aggregated, non-personal information does not identify you individually.

Spot.io may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices on other third-party websites. When linking to another website users are advised to read the privacy policy stated on that certain third-party website. Our privacy policy only governs information collected through Spot.io.

We may transfer personally identifiable information about our users if we, or one of our business units, are acquired by, sold to, or merged with another company or entity.

We will take reasonable precautions to protect personal information in its possession from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. These precautions include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures. Although we take reasonable measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot and will not guarantee you that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

We will use personal information only in ways that are compatible with the purposes for which it was collected or subsequently authorized by the individual. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is relevant to its intended use, accurate, complete, and current, but we depend on our users to update or correct their personal information whenever necessary.

Upon reasonable request, we will grant individuals reasonable access to personal information that it holds about them. In addition, we will take reasonable steps to permit individuals to correct, amend, modify or delete information that is demonstrated to be inaccurate or incomplete if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes. We provide information access and correction free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort.
