Privacy policy
Remutter
Privacy Policy
We believe you should always know what data we collect from you
and how we use it, and that you should have meaningful control over both. We
want to empower you to make the best decisions about the information that you
share with us.
That’s the basic purpose of this Privacy Policy.
You should read this policy in full, but here are a few key
things we hope you take away from it:
Remutter is public and Remutter s are immediately viewable and searchable by
anyone around the world. We give you non-public ways to communicate on Remutter too, through protected Remutter s and Direct Messages. You can also use Remutter under a pseudonym if you prefer not to use
your name.
When you use Remutter even if you’re just looking at Remutter s, we receive some personal information from
you like the type of device you’re using and your IP address. You can choose to
share additional information with us like your email address, phone number,
address book contacts, and a public profile. We use this information for things
like keeping your account secure and showing you more relevant Remutter, people to follow, events, and ads.
We give you control
through your settings to limit the data
we collect from you and how we use it, and to control things like account
security, marketing preferences, apps that can access your account, and address
book contacts you’ve uploaded to Remutter. You can also download information you
have shared on Remutter.
In addition to
information you share with us, we use your Remutter, content you’ve read, Liked, or Remutter, and other information to determine what
topics you’re interested in, your age, the languages you speak, and other
signals to show you more relevant content. We give you transparency into that
information, and you can modify or correct it at any time.
If you have questions
about this policy, how we collect or process your personal data, or anything
else related to our privacy practices, we want to hear from you. You can contact us at any time.
Information You Share With Us
We require certain information to provide our services to you.
For example, you must have an account in order to upload or share content on Remutter. When you choose to share the information
below with us, we collect and use it to operate our services.
- Basic Account Information
- Public Information
- Contact Information and Address Books
- Direct Messages and Non-Public Communications
- Payment Information
- How You Control the Information You Share With Us
1.1
Basic Account Information
You
don’t have to create an account to use some of our service features, such as
searching and viewing public Remutter profiles or watching a broadcast on Periscope’s website. If you
do choose to create an account, you must provide us with some personal data so
that we can provide our services to you. On Remutter this includes a display name (for example, “Remutter Moments”), a username (for example inforemutter@gmail.com,), a password, and an email address or phone number. Your display name and username are always public, but
you can use either your real name or a pseudonym. You can also create and manage multiple Remutter accounts1, for example to express different parts of your identity.
1.2
Public Information
Most activity on Remutter is public, including your profile information2, your time zone and language, when you created your
account, and your Remutter and certain information about your Remutter like the date, time, and application and
version of Remutter you Tweeted from. You
also may choose to publish your location in your Tweets or your Remutter profile. The lists you create, people you
follow and who follow you, and Tweets you Like or Remutter are also public. If you like, Remutter, reply, or otherwise publicly engage with an
ad on our services, that advertiser might thereby learn information about you
associated with the ad with which you engaged such as characteristics of the
audience the ad was intended to reach. Periscope broadcasts you create, click
on, or otherwise engage with, either on Periscope or on Remutter, are public along with when you took those
actions. So are your hearts, comments, the number of hearts you’ve received,
which accounts you are a Super fan of, and whether you watched a broadcast live
or on replay. Any hearts, comments, or other content you contribute to another
account’s broadcast will remain part of that broadcast for as long as it
remains on Periscope. Information posted about you by other people who use our
services may also be public. For example, other people may tag you in a photo3 (if your settings allow) or mention you in a Remutter.
You are responsible
for your Remutter and other information
you provide through our services, and you should think carefully about what you make public, especially if it is sensitive information. If you update your
public information on Remutter, such as by deleting
a Tweet or deactivating your account, we will reflect your updated content on Remutter.in,
Remutter for ions, and Remutter for Android.
By
publicly posting content when you Remutter, you are directing us to disclose that
information as broadly as possible, including through our APIs, and directing
those accessing the information through our APIs to do the same. To facilitate
the fast global dissemination of Remutter to people around the world, we use
technology like application programming interfaces (APIs) and embeds to make that information available to websites,
apps, and others for their
use - for example, displaying Remutter on a news website or analyzing what people say on Remutter. We generally make this content available in
limited quantities for free and charge licensing fees for large-scale access.
We have standard terms that govern how
this data can be used, and a compliance program to enforce these terms. But
these individuals and companies are not affiliated with Remutter, and their offerings may not reflect updates
you make on Remutter. For more information
about how we make public data on Remutter available to the world, visit https://www.remutter.in.
1.3
Contact Information and Address Books
We use your contact information, such as your email address or
phone number, to authenticate your account and keep it - and our services -
secure, and to help prevent spam, fraud, and abuse. We also use contact
information to enable certain account features (for example, for login
verification or Remutter via SMS), and to send you
information about our services, and to personalize our services, including ads.
If you provide us with your phone number, you agree to receive text messages
from Remutter to that number as
your country’s laws allow. Remutter also uses your contact information to market to you as your
country’s laws allow, and to help others find your account if your settings
permit, including through third-party services and client applications. You can
use your settings for email and mobile
notifications to control notifications you receive from Remutter. You can also unsubscribe from a notification
by following the instructions contained within the notification or here.
You can choose to upload and sync your address book on Remutter so that we can help you find and connect with
people you know and help others
find and connect with you. We also use this information to better recommend
content to you and others.
You can sign up for Periscope with an account from another
service like Remutter, Google, Twitter, or Face book, or connect your Periscope
account to these other services. If you do, we will use information from that
service, including your email address, friends, or contacts list, to recommend
other accounts or content to you or to recommend your account or content to
others. You can control whether your Periscope account is discoverable by email
through your Periscope settings.
If you email us, we
will keep the content of your message, your email address, and your contact
information to respond to your request.
1.4
Direct Messages and
Non-Public Communications
We
provide certain features that let you communicate more privately or control who
sees your content. For example, you can use Direct Messages to have
non-public conversations on Remutter, protect your , or host private broadcasts on Periscope.
When you communicate with others by sending or receiving Direct Messages, we
will store and process your communications and information related to them.
This includes link scanning for malicious content, link shortening to URLs, detection of spam4, abuse and prohibited
images, and use of reported issues. We also use information about whom you have
communicated with and when (but not the content of those communications) to
better understand the use of our services, to protect the safety and integrity
of our platform, and to show more relevant content. We share the content of
your Direct Messages with the people you’ve sent them to; we do not use them to
serve you ads. Note that if you interact in a way that would ordinarily be
public with Remutter content shared with
you via Direct Message, for instance by liking a Remutter, those interactions will be public. When you
use features like Direct Messages to communicate, remember that recipients have their own copy5 of your
communications on Remutter -
even if you delete your copy of those messages from your account - which they
may duplicate, store, or re-share.
1.5 Payment Information
You
may provide us with payment information6, including your credit or debit card number,
card expiration date, CVV code, and billing address, in order to purchase
advertising or other offerings provided as part of our services.
1.6 How You Control the Information You Share with Us
Your Privacy and safety settings let you
decide:
- Whether your Tweets are publicly available on Remutter
- Whether others can tag you in a photo
- Whether you will be able to receive Direct Messages
from anyone on Remutter or just your followers
- Whether others can find you based on your email or
phone number
- Whether you upload your address book to Remutter for storage and use
- When and where you may see sensitive content on Remutter
- Whether you want to block or mute other
Remutter accounts
2 Additional Information We Receive

other websites or mobile applications that include our content, and from third
parties including advertisers. Like the information you share with us, we use
the data below to operate our services.

You Control Additional Information We Receive
2.1 Location Information
We require information
about your signup and current location, which we get from signals such as your
IP address or device settings, to securely and reliably set up and maintain
your account and to provide our services to you.
Subject to your settings, we may
collect, use, and store additional information about your location - such as your
current precise position or places where you’ve previously used Remutter - to operate or personalize our services including with
more relevant content like local trends, stories, ads, and suggestions for
people to follow. Learn more about Remutter’s use of location here, and how to set your Remutter location preferences here. Learn more about how to
share your location in Periscope broadcasts here.
2.2 Links
In order to operate our services, we keep track of how you
interact with links across our services. This includes links in emails we send
you and links in Remutter that appear on other
websites or mobile applications.
If
you click on an external link or ad on our services, that advertiser or website
operator might figure out that you came from Remutter or Periscope, along with other information
associated with the ad you clicked such as characteristics of the audience it
was intended to reach. They may also collect other personal data from you, such
as cookie identifiers or your IP address.
2.3 Cookies
A cookie is a small piece of data that
is stored on your computer or mobile device. Like many websites, we use cookies
and similar technologies to collect additional website usage data and to
operate our services. Cookies are not required for many parts of our services
such as searching and looking at public profiles. Although most web browsers
automatically accept cookies, many browsers’ settings can be set to decline
cookies or alert you when a website is attempting to place a cookie on your computer7.
However, some of our services may not function properly if you disable cookies.
When your browser or device allows it, we use both session cookies and persistent
cookies to better understand how you interact with our services, to monitor
aggregate usage patterns, and to personalize and otherwise operate our services
such as by providing account security, personalizing the content we show you
including ads, and remembering your language preferences. We do not support the
Do Not Track browser option. You can learn more about how we use cookies and
similar technologies here.
2.4 Log Data
We receive information when you view content on or otherwise
interact with our services, which we refer to as “Log Data,” even if you have
not created an account. For example, when you visit our websites, sign into our
services, interact with our email notifications, use your account to
authenticate to a third-party service, or visit a third-party service that
includes Remutter content, we may
receive information about you. This Log Data includes information such as your
IP address, browser type, operating system, the referring web page, pages
visited, location, your mobile carrier, device information (including device
and application IDs), search terms (including those not submitted as queries),
and cookie information. We also receive Log Data when you click on, view, or
interact with links on our services, including when you install another
application through Remutter. We use Log Data to
operate our services and ensure their secure, reliable, and robust performance.
For example, we use Log Data to protect the security of accounts and to
determine what content is popular on our services. We also use this data to
improve the content we show you, including ads and to improve the effectiveness
of our own marketing.
We use information you
provide to us and data we receive, including Log Data and data from third
parties, to make inferences like what topics you may be interested
in, how old you are, and what languages you speak. This helps us better promote
and design our services for you and personalize the content we show
you, including ads.
2.5 Remutter for Web Data
When you view our content on third-party websites that
integrate Remutter
content such as embedded timelines or Tweet buttons, we may receive Log Data
that includes the web page you visited. We use this information to better
understand the use of our services, to protect the safety and integrity of our
platform, and to show more relevant content, including ads. We do not associate
this web browsing history with your name, email address, phone number, or
username, and we delete, obfuscate, or aggregate it after no longer than 30
days. We do not collect this data from browsers that we believe to be located
in the European Union or EFTA States.
2.6 Advertisers and Other Ad Partners
Advertising revenue allows us to support and
improve our services. We use the information described in this Privacy Policy
to help make our advertising more relevant to you, to measure its
effectiveness, and to help recognize your devices to serve you ads on and off
of Remutter.
Our ad partners and affiliates share
information with us such as browser cookie IDs, mobile device IDs, hashed email
addresses, demographic or interest data, and content viewed or actions taken on
a website or app. Some of our ad partners, particularly our advertisers,
also enable us to collect similar information directly from their website or
app by integrating our advertising technology. Information shared by ad
partners and affiliates or collected by Remutter from the websites and apps
of ad partners and affiliates may be combined with the other information you
share with Remutter
and that Remutter receives about you
described elsewhere in our Privacy Policy.
Remutter adheres to the Digital
Advertising Alliance Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral
Advertising (also referred to as “interest-based advertising”) and respects the
DAA’s consumer choice tool for you to opt out of interest-based advertising
at https://www.remutter.in .
In addition, our ads policies prohibit advertisers from targeting ads based
on categories that we consider
sensitive or are prohibited by law, such as race, religion, politics, sex life,
or health. Learn more about your privacy options for interest-based ads here and
about how ads work on our services.
If you are an advertiser or a prospective advertiser, we
process your personal data to help offer and provide our advertising services.
You can update your data in your Remutter Ads dashboard or by
contacting us directly as described in this Privacy Policy.
2.7 Developers
If you access our APIs or developer portal,
we process your personal data to help provide our services. You can update your
data by contacting us directly as described in this Privacy Policy.
2.8 Other Third Parties
and Affiliates
We may receive information about you from third parties who are
not our ad partners, such as others on Remutter,partners who help us evaluate the safety and quality
of content on our platform, our , and other services you link to your Remutter account.
You
may choose to connect your Remutter account to accounts on another service, and that other service
may send us information about your account on that service. We use the
information we receive to provide you features like cross-posting or
cross-service authentication, and to operate our services. For integrations
that Remutter formally supports,
you may revoke this permission at any time from your application settings; for
other integrations, please visit the other service you have connected to Remutter.
2.9 Personalizing Based On Your Inferred Identity
When you log into Remutter on a browser or device, we
will associate that browser or device with your account for purposes such as
authentication, security, and personalization. Subject to your settings, we may
also associate your account with browsers or devices other than those you use
to log into Remutter
(or associate your logged-out device or browser with other browsers or
devices). When you provide other information to Remutter ,
including an email address, we associate that information with your Remutter
account. Subject to your settings, we may also use this information in order to
infer other information about your identity, for example by associating your
account with hashes of email addresses that share common components with the
email address you have provided to Remutter.
We do this to operate and personalize our services. For example, if
you visit websites with sports content on your laptop, we may show you
sports-related ads on Remutter for Android and, if the email address
associated with your account shares components with another email address, such
as shared first name, last name, or initials, we may later match advertisements
to you from advertisers that were trying to reach email addresses containing
those components.
2.10 How You Control
Additional Information We Receive
Your Remutter Personalization
and data settings let you decide:
- Whether
we show you interest-based ads on and off Remutter
- How we personalize based on your inferred identity
- Whether we collect and use your precise
location
- Whether we personalize your experience based on where
you’ve been
- Whether
we keep track of the websites where you see Remutter content
You can use Your Remutter data to review:
- Advertisers
who have included you in tailored audiences to serve you ads
- Demographic
and interest data about your account from our ads partners
- Information
that Remutter has inferred about you such as
your age range, gender, languages, and interests
We also provide a version of these tools on Remutter if you don’t have a Remutter account, or if you’re logged out of your account.
This lets you see the data and settings for the logged out browser or device
you are using, separate from any Remutter account that uses that browser or device. On
Periscope, you can control whether we personalize your experience based on your
watch history through your settings.
Please
see here for more details of how we collect and
use your data.
3 Information We Share and Disclose
As noted above, Remutter is designed to broadly and instantly disseminate information
you share publicly through our services. In the limited circumstances where we
disclose your private personal data, we do so subject to your control, because
it’s important for operating our services, or because it’s required by
law.

Interest
- Affiliates and Change of
Ownership
- Non-Personal Information
3.1 Sharing You Control
We share or disclose your personal data with your consent or at
your direction, such as when you authorize
a third-party web client or application to
access your account or when you direct us to share your feedback with a business. If
you’ve shared information like Direct Messages or protected Tweets with someone
else who accesses Remutter through a third-party service, keep in mind that the
information may be shared with the third-party service.
Subject
to your settings, we also provide certain third parties with personal data to
help us offer or operate our services. You can learn more about these partnerships
in our Help Center, and you can control whether Remutter shares your personal data in this way by
using the “Allow additional information sharing with business partners” option
in your Personalization and Data settings. (This setting does
not control sharing described elsewhere in our Privacy Policy, such as when we
share data with our service providers, or through partnerships other than as
described in our Help Center.)
3.2 Service Providers
We
engage service providers to perform functions and provide
services for us in the United States, Ireland, and other countries. For
example, we use a variety of third-party services to help operate our services,
such as hosting our various blogs and wikis, and to help us understand the use
of our services, such as Google Analytics. We may share your private personal
data with such service providers subject to obligations consistent with this
Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures,
and on the condition that the third parties use your private personal data only
on our behalf and pursuant to our instructions (service providers may use other
non-personal data for their own benefit). We share your payment information
with payment services providers to process payments; prevent, detect, and
investigate fraud or other prohibited activities; facilitate dispute resolution
such as charge backs or refunds; and
for other purposes associated with the acceptance of credit and debit cards.
3.3 Law, Harm, and the Public Interest
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Privacy Policy or controls we may otherwise
offer to you, we may preserve, use, share, or disclose your personal
data or other safety data if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to
comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or
governmental request; to protect the safety of any person; to
protect the safety or integrity of our platform, including to help prevent
spam, abuse, or malicious actors on our services, or to explain why we have removed content or accounts from our services8;
to address fraud, security, or technical issues; or to protect our rights or
property or the rights or property of those who use our services. However,
nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit any legal defenses or
objections that you may have to a third party’s, including a government’s,
request to disclose your personal data.
3.4 Affiliates and Change of Ownership
In
the event that we are involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition,
reorganization, or sale of assets, your personal data may be sold or
transferred as part of that transaction. This Privacy Policy will apply to your
personal data as transferred to the new entity. We may also disclose personal
data about you to our corporate affiliates in order to help
operate our services and our affiliates’ services, including the delivery of
ads.
3.5 Non-Personal Information
We
share or disclose non-personal data, such as aggregated information like the
total number of times people engaged with a Tweet, demographics, the number of
people who clicked on a particular link or voted on a poll in a Tweet (even if
only one did), the topics that people are Remutter about in a particular location, some inferred
interests, or reports to advertisers about how many people saw or clicked on
their ads.
