Jibe collects user submitted information such as name, email address, phone number, and age to authenticate users and to send notifications to those users relating to the Site and/or the Service. In some cases, jibe will also gather data from integrated websites that the user may utilize the Service on.
Jibe also logs non-personally-identifiable information including IP address, time zone, profile information, aggregate user data, and browser type, from users and visitors to the site and users of the jibe mobile client. Such data are used to manage the service, track usage and improve the Site and the Service. This non-personally-identifiable information may be shared with third-parties to provide more relevant services and advertisements to members. User IP addresses may be recorded for security and monitoring purposes.
User information, including users' pictures and user names, are displayed to people in order to facilitate user interaction. Email addresses or phone numbers may be used for the purposes of inviting new friends to join jibe and to send notifications related to the Service. With the exception of notifications and invitations, a user's email address and phone number is not shared or displayed to others. To facilitate searching and finding interesting content on the Site and/or the Service, jibe may allow users to search for other members using first and last name, email address, phone number and other standard search strategies.
We may also use a user's email address or phone number to send updates, a newsletter or news regarding the service.
From time to time, jibe or a partner may sponsor a promotion, sweepstake or contest on the Site or through the Service. Users may be asked to provide personal information including name, email address or home address or to answer questions in order to participate. We may transfer personal information to certain ad partners that you have explicitly requested to receive information from. It will be clear at the point of collection who is collecting the personal information and whose privacy statement will apply.
Jibe members can invite other people to join the Service by sending invitation emails or text messages via our automated invitation system and through partner websites. Jibe stores the email addresses and/or phone numbers that members provide so that the respondents may be added to the contact's list of the member sending the invitations, and also to send reminders of the invitations and notifications of messages sent by the member sending the invitations. Jibe does not sell these email addresses or use them to send any other communication besides invitations or invitation reminders, or message notifications. Recipients of invitations from jibe may contact jibe to request the removal of their information from our database.
You may prevent jibe email invitations and other messages from being sent to any email address you control by contacting us in writing through our Contact page or by replying to any email message we send you with the words "unsubscribe" in the Subject line.
