# speedview-privacy-policy speedview memior app privacy policy PRIVACY POLICY Effective July 12, 2023. Memoirs is a product managed by Speedview Communications Limited. Memoirs believe that privacy is a right. Our focus is to empower a post-secondary or high school community networking experience with the users’ alma-mater on a real time basis. Our users are therefore pre-named or identified as affiliates of schools or organizations that exist within the Memoirs community. This privacy policy emphasizes how and why Speedview Communication Limited. (“Memoirs,” “we” or “us”) collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our sites, mobile apps, widgets, and other online products and services (collectively, the “Services”) or when you otherwise interact with us or receive a communication from us. We collect minimal information that can be used to identify you by default. Virtually all our (“Memoirs”) users are connected to or affiliated to a particular school or organization at a point in time of their life. Hence, our users by default need to create an account at Sign-up into the app. Some users profile sign-up with OTP and some users sign-up with QR code provided by us. However, if you want to just browse, you don’t need an account. If you want to create an account to connect on Memoirs, we would require you to confirm your identity; real name, phone number and email address. We don’t automatically track your precise location. You can share as much or as little about yourself as you want in your editable personal profile. You reserve the right to delete your information from Memoirs. Any data we collect is used primarily to provide our services, which are focused on allowing users to come together and form communities, the vast majority of our expectations are users' productive collaborations. If you have questions about how we use your data, you can always ask us for more information. Information You Provide to Us We collect information you provide to us directly when you use the Services. This includes: Account information You need an account to use Memoirs. If you create a Memoirs account, your account will have a username, which you provide or which was automatically generated. Your username is public, and it doesn’t have to be related to your real name. You will need to provide a password, depending on whether you register using an email address or using a Single Sign-On (SSO) feature (such as Apple or Google). When you use Memoirs, you may provide other information depending on your user profile on Memoirs. We may request you to confirm an OTP or scan a QR code before you can create a user account on Memoirs. You may also provide other optional information, such as gender, age, location, or profile picture. This information is optional and may be removed at any time. We may ask for such information prior to you creating a username or account to help improve Memoirs user experience. Content you submit We collect the content you submit on Memoirs. This includes posts and comments including saved drafts, pictures, audio and videos you broadcast, your conversations with other users (e.g., private messages, chats), and your reports and other communications on Memoirs with other users and with us. Your content may include text, links, images, gifs, audio, and videos. Actions you take We collect information about the actions you take when using the Services.

We use this information to deliver and maintain our services and our site, improve your experience, understand user activity, personalize content and advertisements, measure the effectiveness of advertising, and improve the quality of our Services.

Information Collected from Other Sources We may receive information about you from other sources, including from other users and third parties, and combine that information with the other information we have about you. For example, we may receive demographic or interest information about you from third parties, including advertisers (such as the fact that an advertiser is interested in showing you an ad), and combine it with data you have provided to Memoirs, using a common account identifier such as a hash of an email address or a mobile-device ID. Linked services If you authorize or link a third-party service (e.g., an unofficial mobile app client) to access a Memoirs account, we receive information about your use of that service when it uses that authorization. Linking services may also cause the other service to send us information about your account with that service. For example, if you sign in to Memoirs with a third-party identity provider, that provider may share an email address with us. How We Use Information We use information about you to: • Provide, maintain, and improve the Services; • Personalize services, content, and features that match your activities, preferences, and settings. • Help protect the safety of Memoirs and our users, which includes blocking suspected spammers, addressing abuse, and enforcing the Memoirs Terms of Service and our other policies; • Provide, optimize, target, and measure the effectiveness of ads shown on our Services; • Research and develop new services; • Send you technical notices, updates, security alerts, invoices, and other support and administrative messages; • Provide customer service; • Communicate with you about products, services, offers, promotions, and events, and provide other news and information we think will be of interest to you. • Monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our Services. How We Share Information Much of the information on the Services is public and accessible to everyone within your community. However, some user connections can only be allowed after due acceptance of a request posted was made accordingly. By using the Services, you are directing us to share this information publicly and freely. When you submit content (including a post, comment, chat message, or broadcast) to a public part of the Services, any visitors to and users of our Services will be able to see that content, the username associated with the content, and the date and time you originally submitted the content. Although some parts of the Services may be private or quarantined, they may become public (e.g., at the school manager’s option in the case of private communities) and you should take that into consideration before posting to the Services. We offer social sharing features that let you share content or actions you take on our Services with other media. Your use of these features enables the sharing of certain information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the third party that provides the social sharing feature. For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing in connection with social sharing features, please visit the privacy policies of the third parties that provide these social sharing features (e.g., Tumblr, Facebook, and Twitter). We do not sell your personal information. However, in addition to the personal information that is displayed publicly as described above, we may share personal information in the following ways: • With your consent. We may share information about you with your consent or at your direction. • With linked services. If you link Memoirs account with a third-party service, Memoirs will share the information you authorize with that third-party service. You can control this sharing as described in “Your Rights and Choices” below. • With our service providers. We may share information with vendors, consultants, and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work for us. Their use of personal data will be subject to appropriate confidentiality and security measures. A few examples: (i) cloud providers who host our data and our services, (ii) third-party ads measurement providers who help us and advertisers measure the performance of ads shown on our Services. • To comply with the law. We may share information in response to a request for information if we believe disclosure is in accordance with, or required by, any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, including, but not limited to, meeting national security or law enforcement requirements. To the extent the law allows it, we will attempt to provide you with prior notice before disclosing your information in response to such a request. • In an emergency. We may share information if we believe it’s necessary to prevent imminent and serious bodily harm to a person. • To enforce our policies and rights. We may share information if we believe your actions are inconsistent with our Terms of Service, rules, or other Memoirs policies, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and others. • With our affiliates. We may share information between and among Memoirs, and any of our associates, affiliates, subsidiaries, and other companies under common control and ownership. • Aggregated or de-identified information. We may share information about you that has been aggregated or anonymized such that it cannot reasonably be used to identify you. For example, we may show the total number of times a post has been upvoted without identifying who the visitors were, or we may tell an advertiser how many people saw their ad. How We Protect Your Information We take measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. For example, we use HTTPS while information is being transmitted. We also enforce technical and administrative access controls to limit which of our employees have access to nonpublic personal information. Memoirs sign-up process has embedded protection with different user profiles. We use Two-factor authentication or QR code to protect the user's account. We store the information we collect for as long as it is necessary for the purpose(s) for which we originally collected it. We may retain certain information for legitimate business purposes or as required by law. Your Rights and Choices You have choices about how to protect and limit the collection, use, and sharing of information about you when you use the Services. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to request access to or ability to port, deletion/erasure of, or correction/rectification of, your personal information, to opt out of certain advertising practices, or to withdraw consent for processing where you have previously provided consent.

If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject first-and third-party cookies. Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of our Services.

Controlling Advertising and Analytics Some analytics providers we partner with may provide specific opt-out mechanisms and we may provide, as needed and as available, additional tools and third-party services that allow you to better understand cookies and how you can opt out.

Do Not Track Most modern web browsers give you the option to send a Do Not Track signal to the sites you visit, indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. However, there is no accepted standard for how a site should respond to this signal, and we do not take any action in response to this signal. Instead, in addition to publicly available third-party tools, we offer you the choices described in this policy to manage the collection and use of information about you.
