Imprints You Share
Our Services are designed to help you share experiences with the world. Most of the information you provide us is information you are asking us to make public.

Your public information is broadly and instantly disseminated. When you share information or content like photos, videos, and audio files via the Services, you should think carefully about what you share.Location Information
We use your location information in several ways. In order to provide you with Imprints in your area, we need your current location. You can still use Imprints after denying it permission to use your location, but many features will not function. Access to your location is required in order to create and share an Imprint, as the locations of experiences users share is integral to the service. When you make an Imprint, your current location at the time of creation will also be associated with the Imprint. This location and the time you created the imprint is publically viewable when you share it on the service.Server Logs

If not already done earlier, we will either delete Log Data or remove any common account identifiers, such as your username, full IP address, or e-mail address, after 24 months, and thereafter may store it in aggregate.
