Statement of Rights and Responsibilities

Privacy

We designed our Privacy Policy to make important disclosures about how you can use FYT Services to share with others and how we collect and can use your content and information. We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy, and to use it to help make informed decisions.

Privacy Policy

Sharing Your Content and Information

You own all of the content and information you post on FYT, and you control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings. In addition:

  1. For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with FYT Services (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
  2. When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).
  3. When you use an application, your content and information is shared with the application. We require applications to respect your privacy, and your agreement with that application will control how the application can use, store, and transfer that content and information.
  4. When you publish content or information using the Public setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of FYT, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture).
  5. We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about FYT and FYT Services, but you understand that we may use them without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).

Safety

We do our best to keep FYT and FYT Services safe, but we cannot guarantee it. We need your help to do that, which includes the following commitments:

  1. You will not send or otherwise post unauthorized commercial communications (such as spam) on the FYT website.
  2. You will not collect users' content or information, or otherwise access the FYT website, using automated means (such as harvesting bots, robots, spiders, or scrapers) without our permission.
  3. You will not engage in unlawful multi-level marketing, such as a pyramid scheme, on the FYT website.
  4. You will not upload viruses or other malicious code on the FYT website.
  5. You will not solicit login information or access an account belonging to someone else.
  6. You will not bully, intimidate, or harass any user.
  7. You will not post content on the FYT website that: is hateful, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence.
  8. You will not develop or operate a third-party application on the FYT website containing alcohol-related or other mature content (including advertisements) without appropriate age-based restrictions.
  9. You will not do anything that could disable, overburden, or impair the proper working of the FYT website and/or FYT Services, such as a denial of service attack.
  10. You will not facilitate or encourage any violations of these Terms of Service.

Registration and Account Security

FYT users provide their real names and information, and we need your help to keep it that way. Here are some commitments you make to us relating to registering and maintaining the security of your account:

  1. You will not provide any false personal information on the FYT website, or create an account for anyone other than yourself without permission.
  2. You will not create more than one personal profile on the FYT website.

  6. You will keep your contact information accurate and up-to-date.
  7. You will not share your password, (or in the case of developers, your secret key), let anyone else access your FYT account, or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your FYT account.
  8. You will not transfer your FYT account (including any page or application you administer) to anyone without first getting our written permission.
  9. If you select a username for your FYT account we reserve the right to remove or reclaim it if we believe appropriate to do so (such as when a trademark owner complains about a username that does not closely relate to a user's actual name).

Protecting Other People's Rights

  1. You will not post content or take any action on the FYT website that infringes or violates someone else's rights or otherwise violates the law.

  4. If you repeatedly infringe other people's intellectual property rights, we will disable your FYT account when appropriate.
  5. You will not use our copyrights or any confusingly similar marks, without our written permission.
  6. If you collect information from users, you will: obtain their consent, make it clear you (and not FYT) are the one collecting their information, and post a privacy policy explaining what information you collect and how you will use it.
  7. You will not post anyone's identification documents or sensitive financial information on the FYT website.
