This Privacy Policy, which applies to all websites and services provided under the SaySwap names and marks, explains how SaySwap treats personal information that it collects and receives. Personal information is information about you, not otherwise publicly available, that personally identifies you; personal information may include your name, location, e-mail address, birth date, or other identifying information.

WHAT INFORMATION IS COLLECTED AND WHO IS COLLECTING IT?
When you register to become a Member of a SaySwap website, SaySwap collects certain information such as your first and last name, e-mail address, location, and birth date, as well as information about each Member's use of SaySwap features and contributions of content (collectively, "Membership Information").

HOW DOES SAYSWAP USE PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Your e-mail address may be used by SaySwap for communications related to the SaySwap services, including but not limited to sending notices about new features, products, or other information of interest to you.

The SaySwap websites are constantly evolving and changing in content and in features. Member-use information helps guide such changes and the evolution of the websites. Advertisers and affiliates may be provided general information or data regarding membership usage patterns or interests, so that they too can better serve your needs and preferences, but such disclosure will not include individually identifiable information. The collection of usage and interest information allows SaySwap to provide a constantly evolving and user-sensitive package of services, products, and features that satisfy member needs, wants and desires but always with the priority of protecting individual member privacy.
